Prot Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I have a 3 pack of these guys I haven't built yet. Every time I build these guys I default to the Boltstorms. But we now know that the flamers are definitely going out to 12" range. That's pretty cool for something that is moving/shooting twice with Ultra's, and makes the choice a little tougher. Not to mention the overwatch potential. I also like that this makes the flamers a better 'reserve' choice, coming in off an edge and making a dent in something. To me the flamers also offer something attractive to me: the ability to operate a little more independently than the Boltstorm variant. That is to say, you're not as reliant on a 'to hit' aura as the Boltstorm variant. What do you guys think?

Danosborne Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 The 12” range is a bit of a game changer for these guys, I have 6 flamers and 3 bolter aggressors and I never got much use out of the flamer chaps before. Like you say the independence of not needing a “to hit” aura makes them extremely useful to be an excellent harassment unit. The only downside is that a savvy opponent with a fast moving army may be able to avoid them or block their outflank. I would look to shove them up the middle of the board into range of an important objective and be prepared to use transhuman physiology as necessary!

Lykke Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 There are rumors floating, that they are going to lose the "shoot twice when standing still" just fyi. Only rumors tho Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366100-aggressors-and-ultra-in-9th/#findComment-5590899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorpants Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Where are these rumors floating and what is their basis? If aggressors lose their shoot twice ability they will be pretty much crap compared to other choices for their points cost.
