Venemox Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 So, I was wanting three sets of heavy flamers for my tactical squads, and I didn't want to buy three boxes of Sternguard Veterans to get them Having none to replicate, I searched the interwebs, and found two designs I liked. The first was from Forgeworld, the Legion heavy Flamer set. it comes in a group of 5, and looks pretty nice. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/AlternativeFW/large/heavy-flamers.jpg The next was from Anvil Iron Industries, the Exo-Lord Hellfire Cannon. Also nice, and came in units of 1. http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/image/cache/data/a-new/rifles_pistols/flame-thrower-figure-800x500.jpg Price was not an issue in the choice. The Forgeworld ones were 5 for £12.50, and the Anvil Iron ones were 1 for £2.50 I ordered the Anvil Iron Industries one, and it arrived 10 days after shipping (shipping to US). They look good, and I can't wait to play with them. I did also look at Maxmini and Puppetswar, and did not find what I was looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSauce Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I love all of the anvil industries stuff. I have the heavy flamers, plasma guns, and rifles on a bunch of my marines, and the bionic arms/legs look great too. They can be a bit tough to model with, but with a little green stuff you can make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one of few people who likes the Finecast Sternguard weapons, great bitz, terrible photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venemox Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 I knew the Veteran Sternguard and Blood Angel Tactical kits had it in it. I had missed the weapon kit, probably because the text lists it as a 'flamer', and it is very clearly a heavy flamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Invictus Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 It is a pain to get a hand that looks okay onto each handle of the heavy flamer, but it works well for some differentiation. And the combi-weapons always come in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 For my extra HFlamers I'm going to be gluing together two guardsmen flamers with the fuel tank on a marine pack or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deschenus Maximus Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I used some spare Terminator H flamers to make mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Good find! Thanks for sharing. I will echo this. As much as I like the Forgeworld one (which admittedly, I had forgotten all about), I really don't know what I'll do with five of them. I used some spare Terminator H flamers to make mine. Ah, the "classic" route. I'd probably have done the same if I wasn't one of those daft people who want every option possible for my army. (Even if I don't use it very often...)

Venemox Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 This past weekend I played in a 1250 Tournament, and I think in all three games the Heavy flamers would have done more than each squads lone missile launcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
