1850 Immolator Spam

[Kej]

I didn't invent this list, but I have all the models needed for it and have decided to give it a go in our local bi-montly 40k tournies . I have a serious love for mech, takes roots back in my days in the Army as a Tanker and just an overall love for armored fighting vehicles.

What are the overall opinions on the list? Anyone ever try it before and had success/issues?

This army keeps upgrades at a minimum to squeeze in more hulls.

It is 10 Immolators and 2 Rhinos, for 12 Light Vehicle hulls on the table at 1850. Herding the enemy into flamer friendly formations is the key. The ability of the Immolators to move 12 and still fire makes this a list that will play an "In Your Face" mech game dropping more wounds than you can save in any given turn.

It has its serious flaws but lots of lists do, especially tournament lists, They are built to fight a broad spectrum of power lists. When you get a bad match up it happens; but, as an Anti-Mech force and Anti-Horde force I think this list could work wonders.

What do you all think?

I like this list. St. John's Immolator Spam List.

I am working on building it myself, and I agree that it has several flaws. When I played my first game with this. I got rolled; I am sorry to say. The big thing that I have to over come is remembering NEVER GET OUT OF THE RHINOS. I had a tendency to want to get out, faith, and flame.

I am still trying to paint all of my immos. I am surprised you just had 10 of them sitting around.

can't figure out how to delete a doubt post.

I have more tanks than you can shake a stick at. The problem is buying the troops to place in them . I am a tank junkie....and the immolator is just a SWEET looking tank. I knew a long time back that spamming them could have its merits. I just never built a list around it. When I saw this list I figured now was the time to buy the few extra and put them all to good use
