20 flame templates from a single squad?! mabye....

[biglou666]

hey guys! im still in egypt, but making regular visits to the internet caf! :lol:

 

anyways... i want to ask a question. can a man with two pistols fire them both. ive been leafing through the codex, and saw that vanguards can take two pistols each. my idea was : a ten man squad in a pod, all with double hand flamers. 20 flame templates fromm a single squad! is it possible? or would they be limited to ten shots. sadly i think it is the latter, but i recall a sisters of battle unit that all came with double bolt pistols as standard, i think they were called seraphims. does someone know the definitive rules regarding double pistols? thanks, biglou. (oh, and please dont take credit for my idea if it is allowed :P)

No, it would not be allowed. Someone can only fire 1 gun a turn no matter how many guns they have (exception for monsterous creatures and attack bikes).

 

Some codexes have a special rule that carrying 2 of the same pistol counts it as twin linked (such as seraphim). We don't have that rule.

[Mattsama]

No. Unless the models rules state otherwise, they can only fire one weapon.... Ahhh got lag ninja'd. I hate this WiFi!!

[biglou666]

ok thanks for the fast reply though. :( oh well, still 10 flame templates??? :P and powerweapons???? :lol:

10 points each for a S3 AP6 template? Unless you're fighting against hordes with low T I'd say it's not a particularly good move.

[Mattsama]

For 15 points less you could do it with DC and have a little better WS should you get charged, and a little more staying power with FNP. If you go all jump troopy thought, you'll end up paying a little more.

serephims twin linked hand flamers only count as one regular flamer. the bolt pistols on the other due have the twin linked ability. just so you know :lol:

I mean, I know that ten hand-flamers won't destroy everything, but hey: for 295 points we get 5 crazy VV all with infernus pistols and storm shields! Well except the sarge who would keep his power weapon ;).

I used to run dual flamers way back in the day, and I do it again now with my assault squads... it's often difficult enough just getting guys out of way to make use of 2 templates... but yeah given exactly the right place and the right time, and the right movement, it might be cool.
