Talk:Flamefist
In my quest to clarify links between 40K and Warhammer Fantasy
Unlike Bubonicus I cannot find a clear mention of Flamefist as a 40K character.
In Realm of Chaos: The Lost and the Damned Flamefist is alongside Bubonicus within the Warhammer Fantasy section as an example of the rules for Chaos Champion's gifts and warbands.[1a]
Bubonicus is then mentioned again within the 40K section "Another world has boiling lakes of blood from which spheres of fire float into the sky and spread their light across the firmament - the rule of this world is the Daemon Prince Bubonicus, formely a mortal Champion of Nurgle on one of the myriad lost worlds in the galaxy". [1b] This exact line is repeated in Codex: Chaos (2nd Edition) pg.131.[2]
There is no similar mention of Flamefist within 40K specifically.
The artwork on pg. 125 by Stephen Tappin does depict a Chaos Champion upon a Disc of Tzeentch holding a plasma pistol. This artwork does not match the Chaos attributes and Chaos gifts listed on page 126.
Although a previous editor has cited Flamefist within Codex: Chaos (2nd Edition), I cannot find this.
