I like those ideas applied to Heavy Intercessors. Give them a 12" range and Torrent.

 Actually, I like this as an alternative to Rapid Fire. D3 shots per Attack on the weapon profile and auto-hit, but not ignores cover, within half-range.

I'm a little Meh here, it feels like it would have Imperial Fists stepping on Salamander toes.   With that said Salamanders need a little love in this department too - though I'm not sure on the Heavy Intercessors.  An all SALAMANDER keyword Heavy Flamer (or Twin Linked Pyreblaster etc) Terminator Squad would be fun.  Truth be told that could go a long way to "improving" Terminators - a bespoke for each chapter Terminator Squad that then pairs with the normal ones so the normal ones just need a minor tweak.  Modernize the Ebon Keshigs, Crimson Paladins, and so on.  Just about every Legion had their Super Special Terminators.  Finish those up in HH, port/update them for 40K.  Minor tweak on cost-benefit for the normal ones.
