Flamers of Tzeentch bought one of many largest glow ups within the new Chaos Daemons codex. When you shine it up and let it’s low-cost as heck you bought the components for a real piece of 40K meta hotness.
If you went to the Kansas City Open this previous weekend you noticed a crap ton of Daemon armies, Daemon Friendly armies, and simply imply ole armies stuffed with Flamers of Tzeentch.
Flamers of Tzeentch are a leap pack elite alternative for the Chaos Daemon codex. They have first rate power, 3 wounds, and an assault weapon that hits like a truck. They bought the flamer based mostly glow up with a d6+3 set of hits that lets a unit of 5 go loopy when throwing down a pile of flaming dying. Oh and it’s assault so these creepy boys can transfer extraordinarily quick and do the harm they should do.
Flamers of Tzeentch Basics
They can fly and leap over issues combined with an assault weapon that auto hits for 4-9 hits apiece all at Strength 5, Ap -2, and 1 harm. Oh and so they have 3 wounds too so like lots of models within the present meta of 40k – 3 wounds is king in making harm really feel a bit off. They are additionally on pretty small bases using a 32 mm base in addition to getting some good buffs from a Herald and the larger Flamer – the Exalted Flamer.
Flamers of Tzeentch are Tough
I did say they’re robust, proper? 3 Wounds every and sporting the three+ Daemon save – these guys are a ache to get through. You can kill them in assault however once more – it’s important to get there through the Wall of Flame that can coat you in daemonic nonsense in the event you get to shut. They additionally sport an honest quantity of assaults so simply throwing one thing in there won’t at all times work out the most effective for you.
Flamers of Tzeentch are Fast
Oh, I additionally stated how they’re quick. They can leap, advance, and nonetheless do harm which may be an necessary factor. Another benefit of being quick is they’ll simply get out, bubble wrap your huge monsters, and create a nasty zone for a military to maneuver into. If you don’t have any sacrificial methods to show off Overwatch or one thing tremendous robust who can deal with it – it will get arduous to attempt to get in there to do your harm.

Flamers of Tzeentch Thoughts
I count on these guys to go up as they’re at the moment very low-cost at 25 factors. Thankfully there actually isn’t a strategy to up their harm with flamers so we’re not seeing the “flamer” hell we had with Dark Eldar with these guys. They do put the harm on Harlequins which could possibly be a giant purpose we didn’t see lots in the direction of the highest on the KC Open. I’m positive in case you are in your native discussion groups you’ve seen a ton of individuals searching for Flamers of Tzeentch and because of this they’re so scorching proper now.
