I like this tactic either way, with vets and Plasma, or a command squad with flamers.
My "spin" on this is a Chimera with Hull Heavy Flamer and Turret Heavy Flamer, the "Flaming Chimera 'O Doom". Since you are usually moving it 12" for the first turn or two, you aren't fireing the HWs on the Chimera anyway. Then you are in close to the enemy, so you might as well use Heavy Flamers on the tank because of its ow BS. This is a big surprise for an enemy, 4 Flamers and two Heavy Flamers, not much usually survives if you can use the tanks Heavy Flamers.
