I'll admit, this blog has become a bit of a glorified photo gallery for me. Hopefully I'm gonna be moving away from that. In that spirit, I'll present the first of my sneaky tactics that wins me games.
For this trick, you will need:
1 Immolator with heavy flamers
5 Celestians with 2 melta gunners
Total cost: 150 pts
So, say your enemy is Imperial Guard in a Chimera. Nothing crazy, just regular dudes in a tank. Here's how to kill them all in one go.
Position your Immolator so that you can get near the Chimera. When you are able to move 6" and have it within very short range, you are ready.
Move the tank 6" toward the enemy. Now, look in your codex: Immolators have a fire point!
[OOPS, I've been playing this like a Rhino. I thought 2 guys can fire out. Turns out I've been inadvertently cheating. Oh well. I'll just stop. Thank the god-emperor I haven't done this in tournaments!]
Aim your melta at the Chimera. You should be close enough to get 2D6 armor penetration. 1 BS 4 shots should hit. 2D6 armor pen should get through, and AP1 will give you a good chance to blow it up.
Now, if this vehicle has been destroyed or blown up, men will come out. Now, train your twin-linked heavy flamers on the troops that have poured out. They're gonna be all bunched up, perfectly for firey death. Stuff with a low save will just die. Stuff with a 3+ aren't gonna go down as easy, but you may still roast a few.
This will work well on Eldar, Guard, Orks, Dark Eldar. All of them have transports with vulnerable troops inside.
This does require a little luck, but if it goes off, it can do wonders. I pulled this on two Dark Eldar Squads one game, evaporating 20 dudes in one go. It rocked.
Well, that's the end of this little tactic. More to come, shortly.
