*More fanatic adherents of the [[Imperial Creed]] employ flamers against mutants and heretics as the weapon's flames are seen to cleanse sin and impurity from body and soul alike.{{Cite ThisFn|19}}*It is the preferred weapon of the more fervent worshipers of the Emperor such as the fanatical [[Redemption Cult|Red Redemptionists]] and the associated Fanatics of the House of Cawdor of [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]].{{Cite ThisFn|19}}*Among the [[Adepta Sororitas]], as a purifying weapon, the flamer has a prominent function and for a Sister to be entrusted with one is a great honour.{{Cite ThisFn|20}}*The [[Salamanders]] Chapter make wide use of flamers and melta weapons due to their preference for close-ranged combat.{{Cite ThisFn|21}}
*The [[Catachan]] [[regiment]]s of the [[Imperial Guard]] are often deployed to areas of heavy jungle, where enemies can make as much use of the ever present cover as the Catachans themselves. Accordingly flamers and heavy flamers are especially valued by the Catachans for their ability to rob the enemy of the benefit of the terrain.
*Troops of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] use a more advanced version of the flamer known as the '''Cognis Flamer'''. This weapon is equipped with a [[Machine Spirit]] that continue to fire even when its wielder is distracted.{{Fn|3}}
