==Chaos Variations== Chaos Space Marines and Daemons both use flame weapons with fire generating from more warp-derived sources. Results of this are positively deadly as fuck! Additionally, CSM use a lot of the imperial flamer variants including the flamer, heavy flamer and combi-flamer. The most famous Chaos Flamer is of course the one employed by [[Kharn]] himself to [[Battle of Skalathrax|burn out his allies]] for being faggots and shying away from cold weather on Skalathrax, although there's a bit of a debate over which flamer he used as the one in the Chaos Space Marine armoury says it was just rumoured to have been the one (although the Skalathrax scenario gives it to Kharn, so it's probably the one). Called the '''Burning Brand of Skalathrax''' has a colourful history of burning shit to death - most notably [[Space Marines|power armoured Mary-Sues]]. This is a unique weapon that projects a gout of Khorne's ([[skub|or Tzeentch?]] Nobody knows exactly) best fire at a long distance, to chase out and scorch anyone who might be hiding in cover. ===Incendiary Bomb=== ''For more information, see here: [[Grenades & Explosives#Incendiary Bomb|Incendiary Bomb]]'' ===Warpflame Pistol=== [[File:S-l225Warpflame Pistol.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Warpflame Pistol]] As of the introduction of Warzone Fenris: Wrath of Magnus, the [[Thousand Sons]] got some sweet new looking toys, the latest of which are the Warpflame weapons which are pretty much what happens when you trap a [[Flamers of Tzeentch|Flamer of Tzeentch]] inside a gas canister. The Warpflame Pistol is the baby of the bunch, essentially the Chaos equivalent of the Imperium's Hand Flamer. They are a ranged option for three Thousand Sons units. Exalted Sorcerers can take them if they fancy some fire. Regular Sorcerers can take them too under the same logic. Rubric Marines in general sadly seems to be stuck with using two-handed weapons. Nevertheless, their Aspiring Sorcerers sergeants can take one like the other Sorcerers. Frankly, the only lot of Sorcerers who do not get these infernal blowtorches are the ones wearing Terminator Armour. The Warpflame Pistol has the shortest range so far out from the Warpflame family of three. The lack of punch is offset by its ease of use and smaller profile, a common trait for Hand Flamers and valuable when you want the most of your concentration on casting spells instead of how heavy your sidearm is. Appearance-wise, it looks exactly like the present Hand Flamers of the Imperium with a Tzeentchian decorative touch β specifically the ones used by the Deathwatch β hinting that the Thousand Sons might have been recently raiding Watch Fortresses. As a daemonic weapon, Warpflamers do not really need to worry about fuel as the very nature of the Warp makes it more likely to carry more fuel than the canister might have originally had in store. In the hands of the Thousand Sons, Flamer weapons of this caliber hurl gouts of transmorphic fire that mutates those touched by them, turning them either into an immobile tumor or a [[Chaos Spawn|They-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named]]. <center> {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: white;" |+ class="nowrap" style="white-space: nowrap"|'''Profile''' |- | {|align=center border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=10 |- | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;"| Gallery |- |<gallery class="center"> WarpflamePistol.jpg|<center>Side View</center> WarpFlamePistolFront.jpg|<center>Front View</center> DeathwatchHandFlamer.jpg|<center>Comparison</center> </gallery> |} | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;" | Stats |- | {{40k-Ranged-Weapon-Profile-7-8|r7=Template|s7=3|ap7=5|type7=Pistol 1, Warpflame|r8=6"|s8=3|ap8=-2|type8=Pistol D6|abil8=Automatically hits target.}} |} |} |} </center> ===Warpflamer=== [[File:Warpflamer.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Warpflamer]] As of the introduction of Warzone Fenris: Wrath of Magnus, the [[Thousand Sons]] got some sweet new looking toys, the latest of which are the Warpflame weapons which are pretty much what happens when you trap a [[Flamers of Tzeentch|Flamer of Tzeentch]] inside a gas canister. The Warpflamer is the middle child of the bunch, essentially the Chaos equivalent of the Imperium's regular Flamer. The Warpflamer has a decent range and is able to hit targets that could not be reached with a Warpflame Pistol. Warpflamers can be a great alternative to your [[Rubric Marines]] as its effects render it quite good at dealing with those chumps that like to get up close and personal. It is also great at clearing out entrenched positions as its unworldly flames will roll over those pesky covers. Appearance-wise, it has a similar case to the Warpflame Pistol in that it is basically a present Imperial Flamer chaotically-claimed in Tzeentch's name. Great Crusade-era Flamers have their canisters attached straight, whilst the Flamers that are used ten thousand years later tend to feature them tilted. Perhaps the Thousand Sons screwed up most of their old Flamers after a disastrous attempt to shove Brimstone Horrors into the canisters or something, and they had to restock their Rubric Marines with recent ones freshly imported (''Ork speech β <span style='color:green;>'''looted''''') from the Imperium. As a daemonic weapon, Warpflamers do not really need to worry about fuel as the very nature of the Warp makes it more likely to carry more fuel than the canister might have originally had in store. In the hands of the Thousand Sons, Flamer weapons of this caliber hurl gouts of transmorphic fire that mutates those touched by them, turning them either into an immobile tumor or a [[Chaos Spawn|They-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named]]. <center> {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: white;" |+ class="nowrap" style="white-space: nowrap"|'''Profile''' |- | {|align=center border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=10 |- | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;"| Gallery |- |<gallery class="center"> WarpFlamerBit.jpg|<center>Model</center> RubricWarpflamer.jpg|<center>Front View</center> AstartesFlamer.jpg|<center>Comparison</center> </gallery> |} | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;" | Stats |- | {{40k-Ranged-Weapon-Profile-7-8|r7=Template|s7=4|ap7=4|type7=Assault 1, Warpflame|r8=8"|s8=4|ap8=-2|type8=Assault D6|abil8=Automatically hits target.}} |} |} |} </center> ===Heavy Warpflamer=== [[File:Heavy Warpflamer3.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Heavy Warpflamer]] As of the introduction of Warzone Fenris: Wrath of Magnus, the [[Thousand Sons]] got some sweet new looking toys, the latest of which are the Warpflame weapons which are pretty much what happens when you trap a [[Flamers of Tzeentch|Flamer of Tzeentch]] inside a gas canister. The Heavy Warpflamer is the adult of the bunch, essentially the Chaos equivalent of the Imperium's Heavy Flamer. The Heavy Warpflamer has a long range compared to its smaller cousins, and it can provide excellent covering (Warp) fire for allied Thousand Sons detachments. Appearance-wise, unlike the two smaller cousins, the Heavy Warpflamer looks more like a mutated Heavy Flamer from ten thousand years ago, which may suggest that the Sorcerers who tend to the Scarab Occult are really good at maintaining their equipment. Due to the size, only the aforementioned [[Rubric Marines#Rubric Terminators|Rubric Terminators]] have the strength to wield one of these with ease β since regular Rubric Marines can carry the similarly sizable Soulreaper Cannons just fine, the weight might have come from the fuel tanks that may have decided themselves that they want to be absurdly heavy, or that the Scarab Occults are the only "worthy" ones to carry them or something. Their opinions aside, they provide a good anti-infantry bonus to an army quite vulnerable to tarpit swarms like those of the Tyranids or the Orks. As a daemonic weapon, Warpflamers do not really need to worry about fuel as the very nature of the Warp makes it more likely to carry more fuel than the canister might have originally had in store.

These Brass Scorpions here are armed with a set of two Hellmaw Cannons mounted on the underside of the beast, located just beneath its Demolisher Cannon. These Khornate weapons are one of the most '''METAL''' things available in a Khornate army β and we mean it <u>LITERALLY</u>. This shit does not spray normal fire (''unsurprisingly, since it's Chaos we're talking about''); instead, it sprays infernal, Warp-fed fire and [[Awesome|molten brass]]. The Hellmaw Cannons are used as assault weapons during sieges, where these large <strike>flame-</strike> '''lava-'''throwers are usually fired into buildings that have been damaged by the Daemon Engine's even larger claws. The Hellmaw Cannons of the Brass Scorpions can be likened to that of a scorpion's fangs, to be exposed to an enemy foolish enough to charge at it up close. The weapons are perfectly suited to the Brass Scorpion's role as an assault vehicle, allowing it to saturate enemy trench lines and tunnels with a wide range of fire and fire that random fire into damaged structures in order to force the garrisoned and fortified enemy out into the open by sheer heat. Back then, the Hellmaw Cannons were much more visible, but nowadays, they are pretty hidden β only found on the undersides of a Brass Scorpion. <center> {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: white;" |+ class="nowrap" style="white-space: nowrap"|'''Profile''' |- | {|align=center border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=10 |- | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;"| Gallery |- |<gallery class="center"> HellmawCannonFrontal.jpg|<center>Front View</center> HellmawCannonFront.jpg|<center>Bottom View</center> Oldschool_Hellmaw.jpg|<center>Apocalypse Model</center> </gallery> |} | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;" | Stats |- | {{40k-Ranged-Weapon-Profile-7-8|r7=Template|s7=6|ap7=3|type7=Assault 1|r8=8"|s8=User|ap8=-2|type8=Pistol 2D6|abil8=Automatically hits target.}} |} |} |} </center> ===Baleflamer=== [[File:LordDiscordantBaleflamerSide.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Baleflamer]] A larger, more common and much deadlier Flamer that takes the Flamestorm Cannon one step further in that it shoots even further! Baleflamers are (as of now) exclusively seen on the [[Heldrake]] Daemon Engines AND the [[Lord Discordant|Arch Lord Discordant]], and they are super effective against almost anything NOT wearing [[Terminator|Terminator Armour]], hiding in [[METAL BAWKSES]], or any equivalent of the two. The weapon takes the shape of a large projector muzzle that is usually located within the Daemon Engine's mouth. The Baleflamer is fueled by dark Warp fires that burn from within the metallic chest of the beast, and when unleashed, the burning ichor that flows forth and rains down upon the creature's unfortunate target sets flesh and soul alike on fire. Since the Heldrake is more of a general flyer and not a dedicated ground attack craft, the fact that it can use a Flamer weapon, this one in particular, to engage airborne targets suggest that the Baleflamer is viable for installation on other aerial units such as the [[Hell Blade]], though that might be a bad example since the whole set that makes this Flamer work is likely very heavy and impractical for an aircraft that primarily relies on speed as an interceptor. A [[Harbinger]], on the other hand... It used to be a potent weapon of unrelenting [[Rape|rape]] as it can ignore cover ''and'' fire in a 360 degree radius on a flyer. Now, it has been [[Nerf|nerfed]] to be more balance β still powerful, however, just not as game-breaking as before. <center> {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: white;" |+ class="nowrap" style="white-space: nowrap"|'''Profile''' |- | {|align=center border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=10 |- | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;"| Gallery |- |<gallery class="center"> HeldrakeBaleFlamerBit.jpg|<center>Model</center> HeldrakeBaleFlamerView.jpg|<center>Front View</center> Baleflamer.jpg|<center>Side View</center> HeldrakeBaleFlamerPict.jpg|<center>Pict Capture</center> LordDiscordantBaleflamerPict.jpg|<center>Lord Discordant</center> </gallery> |} | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;" | Stats |- | {{40k-Ranged-Weapon-Profile-7-8|r7=Template|s7=6|ap7=3|type7=Heavy 1, Soul Blaze, Torrent|r8=18"|s8=6|ap8=-2|d8=2|type8=Assault D6|abil8=Automatically hits target.}} |} |} |} </center> ===Warpfire Flame Cannon=== [[File:FireLordFlameCannon.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Flame Cannon]] Note: should not be confused with the Imperium's [[Flamer#Flame_Cannon|Flame Cannon]]. This lazily-named "Flame Cannon" is a weapon that betrays its generic nominal nature β as such, some people have taken into calling it the "Warpfire Flame Cannon" in order to avoid confusion and make it sound more awesome. So, the Warpfire Flame Cannon is a type of Flamer weapon that is installed on the Tzeentchian airborne Daemon Engines called [[Doom Wing|Doom Wings]] and the [[Fire Lord of Tzeentch|Fire Lords]]. These daemonically-possessed vehicles are assault aircraft that take the forms of gigantic birds of prey and are completely dedicated to the service of Tzeentch, the Chaos God of Change and Deceit. The Doom Wing is armed with a single Warpfire Flame Cannon located under its avian skull-shaped nose/beak. The Fire Lord, by merit of being larger in size, is armed with two, one on each of its wings. The Warpfire Flame Cannon is special because it fires the eponymous and deadly Warpfire which is capable of being used to strafe ground targets as well as to attack other aircraft in a dogfight. This Warpfire can mutate and turn its victims into the [[Chaos Spawn|nameless ones]] or reduce them into multi-colored gases. It's a real shame that GW couldn't come up with a more badass name than Flame Cannon; seriously... <center> {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: white;" |+ class="nowrap" style="white-space: nowrap"|'''Profile''' |- | {|align=center border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=10 |- | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;"| Gallery |- |<gallery class="center"> Flame_Cannon.jpg|<center>Doom Wing</center> FireLordFLameCannonSide.jpg|<center>Fire Lord (Top)</center> </gallery> |} | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;" | Stats |- | {|class="wikitable" style="border: 1px solid black; background: white; text-align:center; display:inline-table;" |- |'''Range''' |'''Attack Dice''' |'''Roll to Hit''' |'''Target's Save Mod.''' |- | colspan = "2" | Template | 4+ | -1 |} |} |} |} </center> {{40k-Chaos-Weapons}}
