most people think flamers are pointless against meq's because they're only ap5...
the thing is, when you're causing 6-8+ hits with just that one gun, you will very kill something unless you're either extremely unlucky, and/or your opponent gets a lota love from those fickle dice gods!
the biggest advantage though is that flamers are much safer to use... i always get a good laugh personally whenever i see a 25+pts space marine melt his hands off when trying to melt a poor 6pts guardsman!
cheers!
