Collective Consciousness Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I've bean debating over the last few weeks on whether to run sisters squads with two flamers or with one flamer and one heavy flamer please help.

Fibonacci Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Tough choice. Right now I use two flamers since I feel heavy flamers are not worth the extra 15 points. Ask again next week and you will probably het a different answer. If the cost is changed to be the same as the C:SM cost I will be using Heavy Flamers in all my flamer squads.

AdmLancel Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 It really is going to depend on the new codex. Right now the cost of a Heavy Flamer leaves much to be desired, such that honestly unless the nostalgia of heavy flamers is too great for you, you are probably better off taking a Flamer and spending those 15 extra points somewhere else.

tvih Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yeah. Currently it's better to take a flamer. With the new codex the heavy flamer is probably going to be 10 points, at which point I think it's going to be the better choice.

WarriorFish Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 The extra strength and AP is really nice, but the additional cost is not. I still like it but as has been mentioned unless you're up against a lot of 4+ saves the Heavy Flamer might not be worth it.

Da Taz Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I go with the heavies! The extra strength and ap is nice and can help, but since they are one of the only heavy weapons that are also assault weapons, it can be a nice torch I mean touch to run. And Sisters are one of the few armies that can bring them! You get more power, can move and shoot, removes cover saves and allows you to use another flamer or meltagun. I really don't care if they cost a little bit more, the things they bring are worth it to me. And if you are fighting any other army then 3+ saves they are well worth it!
