Flamers

How do you handle flamers?

I read at the forum that you do have to make a to hit roll for every target under the template and that the targets dont receive any cover bonus to their guard value.

Is this right? is every target attacked with the full damage value of the flamer or is there something like splash damage? i.e. if a target isn´t hit it is subject to splash damage?

Where in the rulebook are flamers handled...couldnt find any info on them besides their entry in the weapons list.

Yep that is correct. It works the same as Warmachine / Hordes flamers. Place template roll to hit everything individually under template (ignoring cover) and apply normal damage to each target hit!

Nasty up close just as they should be

Yesterday we played the flamers as suggested in the Errata.
But i still have some unanswered questions. If i miss my to hit roll will my target still get damage with a -3 modifier to the weapon damage.
How do you handle a flamer shot into a building?
is every model in the room hit or only models under the template?

Is it true that hand grenades don´t deviate?
What about the -3 and -5 modifier to HG damage?

I am a little confused

If you miss with a flamer it is a miss, the flame has perhaps singed a few whiskers but there is no other result.

Into a building has not been covered and there are so many potential situations, for example if it was a large warehouse and the only window you could fire into was away from where the troops were it would be difficult. So you could house rule that very small volume bunkers and houses result in everyone in the space being hit (on a successful hit roll) or stick to just what is under the template for speed.

Thank you for your answer

But what about Grenades do they scatter (Rulebook) or no scatter (Errata)?
Do missing grenades have a -3 or a-5 mod to their Damage Stats?
