Well, I didn't give up on the dream of cramming the maximum possible number of flamers into a 2000 point list. The points changes a few months back allowed me to add a whole extra Seraphim squad. I have 5 points to spare, and I can't take the more expensive relic since the Preacher isn't allowed. All of the non-flying squad leaders have hand flamers and power swords now, since I decided that the current incarnation of combi-flamers are not really flamers as far as the rules are concerned.

However, more importantly... I finally have all of the models assembled. Everything is
WYSIWYG (although not all of the hand flamers on characters are visible since those are hard to come by). Also, every single model is female, including the Preacher and the Penitents. Now all I have to do is paint everything before the point updates in a couple of weeks. Which isn't going to happen. Frankly, I am unlikely to paint everything before the codex comes out in the summer. Still, I have work to do
As always, if anyone can see any mistakes or if you know a way to cram even more flamers into the list then your feedback is welcome
