Combi-Flamer Help

Recommended Posts

A lot of codex marine players will have extra flamers- You should be able to trade for them and use a boltgun or stormbolter as a base for the combi-flamer. alternatively, they should have extra combi-flamers from sternguard and the new tactical box. Hand flamers also make good conversion bits, if you have blood angels players with spares.

Seriously, I bought 2 of the new Sternguard kits for the bits. There is 2 of each combi available in them and some really cool sculpts too!!

Fleabay has some for fairly cheap, but it's probably cheaper to convert them yourself.

I like the bolt gun cut just under the barrel casing and mounted on top of a Flamer. But I went with the Sternguard ones, as I said.

 

End of Line

i wouldn't recommend converting your own unless you really want to. The last year or so have seen a proliferation of good options for combi weapons so it's probably worth it just buying them. Here's what i can think of:

 

 

 

Forge world:

 

character conversion set has 1 stacked type (and some other really nice bits imo)

 

terminator special weapons has 2 tigrus, side by side, midular combi weapons

 

legion tartaros special has the same

 

legion cataphractii special has same but phobos and old school flamer style.

 

 

 

legion comnu weapons pack has 5 plas, 5 melt, 5 flamer, all stacked type and tigrua.best value if you like em

 

 

 

GW: STERBGUARD HAS 2 OF EACH, STACJED

 

TACTICAL HAS ONE, STACKED, MODULAR.

 

 

 

FOR YHE WOLF GUARD I THIBK MODULAR IS WORTH IT BECAUSE YOU CAM MAGNETIZE THEM. BUT YPU NEED A VERY SPEADY HAND AND/OR A DREMEL FOR SOME OF THOSE BITA. THE SIDE BY SIDE MODULAR ONEA RE VERY THIN, SO YOU NEED TO BE VERY RESOURCEFUL TO SUCCEAFULLYAGNETIZE EM.

 

 

 

 

UGH, phone fail. Will edit for clarity later when i am on tablet :)

New Tac squad has one that is modular for all the new C:SM combi weapons.  There is the Sternguard kit from GW, or the FW kit.  Failing that, conversions are another good route as most people don't use their flamers so your local group should have an excess.

Personally I wanted to make a wolfy looking combi-flamer so I combined a normal flamer with a rather SW looking boltgun. You can see it on my WIP page here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258324-fyths-wips-thread/page-3

That's the one I was thinking of when I wrote my post. Thought is was your work, but didn't want to make myself feel foolish being publicly wrongtongue.png .

If you want 3rd party, there's also:

They come with interchangable lowers.

 

nice, may have to pick up some of them once i see what the new codex brings (too much too currently still paint to warrant buying any more models just now ha)

I actually made my own that look like this

I just took the end portion of a centurion squad flamer and cut the end off of a bolter to make one. Quick and easy and cheap. You should be able to find Centurion flamers on ebay since no one uses the assault variety.
