Ive been trying to create a list for this upcoming 750 tournament, the Elerslie hobbymaster championship, Ive just been thinking how best to utilise a flame thrower team in the list.
Im main quandary is whether to include one as part of a team of 7 assault engineers with 4 smgs for a real killy unit given a truck to ride. Or instead make them a seperate team to ride with 6 Assault engineers in the same truck, but generating their own order dice and not being a part.
ive found that the engineers that include the flamer have almost been overkill in what they do in my games with them. If they shoot, the flamer does all the work, there is little need for the smgs, if they want to assault, the flamer is practically useless.
A vet flamer team is 65 points
6 vet assault engineers with 6 smgs and a pzf is 101 points
If i was to add the flamer to that team id remove a smg and add a man for 131 points, thats a 34 point difference in price and minus an order dice.
What do you guys think? the smg flamer unit a great combo, cheaper and more men to burn... Or is it over kill and worth paying 35 points more for the extra order dice and the abillity to shoot / assault / be shot by different things.
