A Flame Bolter is an invention of the Salamanders Space Marine Chapter and is a favorite amongst those Chapters that hail from the lineage of Vulkan. This weapon is, well, exactly what it sounds like: a bolter that has been modified with parts of flamers in order to enhance the range of a Battle-Brother's fire-spreading abilities.

Trivia
In game-play, the weapon will cost the standard 6 points for a flamer. it uses the same statistics as a normal bolter, but gains the Gets Hot! rule, as well as the flamers guarantee to hit.

Conversions
Conversion is typically done by removing the barrel of the bolter, and replacing it with either a flamer or a melta barrel. Alternatively, the lighter section of a flamer may be removed and glued underneath the boltor barrel. The gas canister from a flamer or the wire from a melta-gun must also be attached to the boltor somewhere, depending on the barrel used for replacement.
