They are also particularly useful when attacking troops, such as Chaos flamers and
and Eldar aspect warriors that have a 45cm charge reach that is out of the 30cm
range of most Marine and IG weapons range. If you are lucky the BMs inflicted in the
shooting phase will prevent your oppents unit moving, this will allow you to move into
firefight range. You should in most cases easily beat these types of units in
firefights.
