Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Apocalypse (section)

===Auto Hitting aka the Humble Flamer===
There’s nothing like purging the heretics with fire. Or destroying the corpse worshipers with an infernal inferno. Or dissolving the walking food with bio acid. Or crushing the deniers of the great plan with plasma wash.

Whatever form it comes in, flamers are everywhere. In previous editions (read, 7th and earlier) the flamer used a template for its shots, and you would roll to hit all units under it. As a result, hordes were really difficult to use, as your gaunt swarm could easily be destroyed by a guardsman with a basic flame thrower. New flamers are characterised by a few points:
*They have a random number of shots (eg. D3, D6, 2D6 etc).
*They automatically hit their target.
*They have shorter ranges than similar weapons.
