Editing Alchem Weapons (section)

==Variants==
===Alchem Pistol===
[[File:Alchem-Pistol.PNG|150px|right|thumb|Alchem Pistol]]
The smallest baby of the bunch. Alchem Pistols were small [[Hand Flamer]] types that were wrist-mounted and used exclusively by the [[Deathshroud]]s as their only 'range' weapon.

These nasty little bastards were nothing more than a tube attached to a small tanker of chemically-laced promethium/acid solution. They were still enough to reach in areas inaccessible to the Deathshroud and proverbially melt and burn any poor bastard standing in the way of where that thing is pointing. After 10,000 years in the [[Warp]], the Alchem Pistol has mutated and morphed into the [[Plaguespurter Gauntlet]].

Crunchwise, the Deathshroud's template Alchem Pistols, combined with up to 10 attacks on the charge between the two of them via their Power Scythe combo, spell serious trouble for the majority of objective holders. By itself, they function like a normal Hand Flamer but with Fleshbane instead.

===Alchem Flamer===

The middle child of the family.

The Alchem Flamer resembles a stock-standard [[Flamer#Flamer|Flamer]] of the Great Crusade era, albeit one that has been heavily degraded due to the sheer corrosive nature of its ammunition. So its barrels and tanker has been reinforced to avoid a breach of containment when fired.

They were used exclusively only by the [[Mortus Poisoner]]s because they were the only ones insane enough to wield these things long-term. By the time of the 41st Millennium, these guys have been mutated/modified and turned into the [[Bile Spewer]] and [[Plague Belcher]] we all know and love.

In [[Darktide]], these flamers are used by dudes called '''[[Dreg Tox Flamer]]s''' and has a completely radical redesign compared to their Great Crusade/Horus Heresy ancestors. They appear far more cleaner, ironically enough, than its ancestor weapon. This could either be due to better maintenance by the Nurglite cultists (Ironic I know), a more improved mixture of the toxic fuel or better and more resistant materials (Meta-plastic composites?), or just simply being built more recently compared to their Heresy-era ancestors. The most notable change is that the barrel stores part of the corrosive fuel in a glass-like barrel before being ignited and injected like that of a [[Chem-Thrower]]. In Darktide they are quite fucking dangerous as their AOE effect plus their fire damage immediately removes all of your toughness, leaving you vulnerable to health damage and staggering effects.

On the tabletop, Alchem flamers are just a fantastic thing to replace the Poisoner's stock-standard Bolter and you’ll do a lot of damage with them if you use them well. A couple of these guys strapped by a Poisoner squad can ruin infantry nearby in a way that normal flamers just can’t due to the Fleshbane rules.

===Alchem Heavy Flamer===

The big blue rotting cheese of the lineup.

The Alchem Heavy Flamer like their smaller brethren, resembles a stock-standard [[Heavy Flamer]] of the Great Crusade era, but one that has shown increasing rust and degradation due to the toxicity of its ammunition. So its barrels and tanker has been reinforced to avoid a breach of containment when fired.

They were used exclusively only by the [[Mortus Poisoner]]s ''and'' [[Grave Warden]]s because they were the only ones insane enough to wield these things long-term. By the time of the 41st Millennium, these guys have been mutated/modified and turned into the [[Plague Spewer]].

On the tabletop, Alchem Heavy Flamers like their smaller counterparts, a ''really'' good weapons in cleansing entire crowds due to the Fleshbane rules. Making them superior than conventional flamers of their ilk.
