Tallarn Ambush + Get Around Behind Them

[Diagramdude]

Hello, so I was thinking about triple flamer russes and how to get them up close to the enemy.

 

I think you could use the Ambush stratagem to get just outside of 9", then use the Tallarn tank order to move 6" closer before firing, right? Thus you can get your flamers in range. You could also charge from just over 3" and get 3 S8 attacks hitting on 2+ with Crush Them!

 

Not sure if it's remotely competitive, but seems very fun. It would be very painful for the opponent to charge as well.

That should work!  But I think Hellhounds are more effective for that task.. cheaper points wise, and more useful in turns after the initial strike. The problem with flamers is you want to get the tank to move up close, whilst Russes benefit more from moving up to half range so they can double fire their main cannon..

I have to agree that hellhounds will be more out of this. You don't need to get too close, unless you want the hull heavy flamers as well, you're cheaper, and aren't lowering the maximum potential of your main gun.

I usually just leave the hull heavy bolter in place. Way cheaper, can contribute continuously (especially if Tallarn). Betwen the HB and SB, that's 10 points for 7 shots at turret flamer range.
