a-nesuto Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 looking at the new Blood Angel codex the other day i noticed their hand flamers were str3 ap6 and their melta pistols were ap1. are we likely to get these changes when we get a new WH codex?

Uncle Mel Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'ld say yes. Probably all wargear will be updated to 5E standards. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/194955-hand-flamer-nerf-inferno-pistol-buff/#findComment-2319892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Fox Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Though with Hand Flamers being a piece of wargear now.. technically twin linked hand flamers would fire as a hand flamer instead of a regular flamer, albeit with rerolls to wound as well as getting the extra CC attack. If it goes into our new Codex (whenever it arrives) as written in the Blood Angels.. well.. I'd trade the one worse AP for a reroll to wound. Most foes seem to have better than a 5+ save anyway so they were rolling saves before...

MadCowCrazy Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Maybe we will get Holy Promethium as a standard wargear upgrade, it would make sense that the blessed flamers of the Sisters of Battle shoot holy cleansing flames of justice upon the wicked :) Doubt it but it would be nice since flamers has a short range, sisters dont do well in CC so causing the opponent to fall back after getting burnt by sisters would be nice.

Eltnot Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 No big deal really. Means the flamers are better vs Meq and weaker vs Geq but only slightly in each case. AP1 for the pistols does make them more tempting though. Currently I don't bother taking them anymore because you have to be right ontop of the enemy to have a good chance of penetrating. Might as well at least have a better chance of blowing something up.
