6 in a formation makes Father Nurgle cry...

"The flies, the flies,
in the burgomeisters eyes!"

Will obviously see how it plays before moaning too much, though, and I understand why you have tried it out.  :smile:

Interesting tidbit from ImperialArmour 7. The "The Purge" Apocalpys datasheet concerning the Death Guard:
ooh the Purge datasheet, my favourite

Plague amrines, chaos lord etc... all with MoN. All units have blight grenades and can replace flmaers with chemical burners- poison (3+) pining flamers. Creeping death, d3 apoc barrage (3) S- poisoned (4+)ap5 pinning. On secondturn roll a D6 on a 4+ you get anouther one and on the third turn you get aonther one on a roll of a 6.


So some Plague Marines with a Chemical Burner which has 15cm AP3+ Disrupt, Ignore Cover?
Creeping Death seems to be a more brutal version of Nurgles Rot  :laugh:

Looks more like some funky FF weapon which doesn't need stat.

Which one? Creeping Death? Definately. But the Chemical Burner is just like a Heavy Flamer (will wound most targeds on 2+ or 3+) but causes Pinning (usually translated as Disrupt in Epic).

Aren't flamers just a FF with ignore cover?

Not Heavy Flamers which happen do be the same range and area of effect as Flamers but have +1 Strength and +1 Armourpiercing.

Note that in Inquisitor, Necromunda and 2nd Ed 40K, heavy flamers have a longer range than flamers. The same-range thing is a simplification in the current edition of 40K.

I also believe that heavy flamers being a 15cm AP4+ weapon in Epic was a mistake and they should have been a pure-firefight weapon, but the precident is set with siegemasters.

And the Skorcha of the Ork Skorcha which has the same stats as a Heavy Flamer in Wh40k.

The Plague Hulk has no Battlecannon and it has no ranged arm weapons.
The Rancid Vomit is a more powerful Heavy Flamer and the Rot Cannon is short ranged Missile Launcher.
Also it is slower but more resilient.

Edit: And why is this thread so strangely formated?
