malorn24 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Is there any merit to a AA Flamer Relic combo. Coming in at below 150 that doesn't seem like a bad option if you have him in a medium to light infantry hunting party. For just over 150 you can throw the SS on him for the extra ++ save in case you are worried about needing +1 to your 4++ lol since with the flamer you don't ge tthe +1 on the assault.

Montuhotep Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Excuse me for asking, but how do you get the flamer? The only possible way according to my Codex is a combi-flamer from the ranged weapons list, unless I'm missing a trick here. And that's a one shot deal. Or do you perhaps mean the Burning Blade relic? Because that's melee only, doesn't have a ranged attack at all. That said, for the role you mention, artificier armour and mayhap a storm shield is the way to go! Unless you fancy taking the Shield Eternal of course, but that makes him a bit pricey.....

Azash Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Maybe the op is referring to a relic from the sentinels of Terra supplement? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287272-flamer-captain/#findComment-3603578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 For cheap Captain effectiveness I'd go Terminater Captain with Lightning Claw and Primarch's Wrath for 145pts. I don't know what this flamer Captain is though? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287272-flamer-captain/#findComment-3603862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 A member of the Emperor's Children? ....by which, of course, I mean Lucius, who was a Captain and has a flamer-template attack.

malorn24 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 actually misread the codex. Sorry. I saw "special wargear" and thought "special weapon" Which leads me then to my next question. How can a commande squad run quad plazma or flamer or whatever. If in the codex it is the exact same wording. "May take from melee weapons / ranged weapons. I heard something in that there was a FAQ but all I saw in there was about the bikers.

It's the very first item, in pink, in the most current (September 2013) C:SM FAQ. Directly under the heading "ERRATA," it says: Page 164 -- Command Squads, options Add the following option to this list. "Any Veteran may take items from the Special Weapons list."
