Any reason you don’t have flamers in your inducti?

The alchem casters are VERY good.

And what’s the reason for fists on command squad not in Termi? Just looking to swing up?

Swinging to high toughness?

Fair point on the alchem flamers on the inductii. It's just what I had from a small 750 point army I did but I can definitely see the alchem flamers being useful in zm.

With the termi centurion I'm not sure why he doesn't have a powerfist might change it up

With the infantry command squad I just figured one fists are high damage and str and two the feel very much a deathguard vibe slow powerful weapon

Appreciate the feedback

im not a huge fan of power fists

since they only really affect swinging into terminators

[sick spruce]

Yeah I’d swap fists on the power armour command squad for mauls, axes whatever

Flamers instead of rotors personally but rotors are pretty swagtastic so that’s preference
