40 points left to play with.

Do you use the pipes with the Incinerators? What are the stats on those? (I'm not a Grey Knight guy)

Did you want to play it against my Daemon list?

What do the pipes do.. +1 str flamers or twin lnked or something?
Incinerators are str 6 ap 4 flamers

The pipes let me fire the Incinerators as heavy weapons (optional secondary profile) and give them Torrent. So 5 Incinerators ride up in a Razorback and deploy behind the barricades, and I just torch anything in reach.

I still need to build the Banisher and another monkey, though.

Ahhh.. nice! Is it one unit thats only gets torrent?

Any non-vehicle model within 2".

I wonder if you can do it from a Rhino's Fire Point.

For some reason I doubt it. Otherwise, erhmahgawd, rending torrent flamer chimera.

If Pressed to rule on this, i would say that since the Rhino or Chimera is the only Model within 2" of the pipes and that Model doesn't have any flamers, then the rules don't take effect.

Special Rules:
Fuel Siphon: Any flamer weapon (as defined in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook) fired by a non-vehicle
model within 2" of a Promethium Relay Pipe in the Shooting phase can change its weapon type from Assault to
Heavy, or from Pistol to Heavy. If it does so, the weapon gains the Torrent special rule until the end of that
phase.

Fuel Pipes: A model in cover behind a fuel pipe has a 4+ cover save. However, each time a unit
successfully makes this cover save on the roll of a 6, immediately roll a further D6. On a roll of 1, the
shot has caused a minor explosion and the unit that made that cover save immediately suffers an
additional D6 Strength 4 AP5 hits with the Ignores Cover special rule. These additional hits use
Random Allocation, and vehicles are hit on the armour facing nearest to the Promethium Relay Pipes.

I'd agree with that Mike, as GW has often ruled that a model that's embarked in a transport is treated for almost all purposes as not being on the table. (11-on the Warp Storm | LoS drawing for non-shooting | something else I'm forgetting right now)

Perhaps the big winners here are anything with relentless or Walkers? You can place the pipes at midfield, move up on the first turn, and then still fire your "heavy" Torrent flamer weapons. Hmmm Bikes...

And...
the void relay fortification gives you 1-3 pipes, 1-3 Void shields and 0-1 honored Imperium. you could make yourself quite the little bunker with a couple pipes, 6x overlapping shields and fill it with small units full of flamers.

think of it like a giant tank with AV 12, 6HP, IWND(5+ regen on shields) and as many flamer dudes as you can fit under it. 240 points. (1 pipes, 2 void shield generators)

Walkers can't use it, "non-vehicle" and all.

One more reason walkers got boned this edition.

If it worked for walkers, it would be an auto-include in so many Cron lists for the basic Triarch Stalker. Stomp up to the mid-field and just get automatic flamer hits on things for the Targeting Relay.
