Firstly, wouldn't that be an awesome band name?
So I just got my hands on horgle2, and might I just say the sculpt looks fantastic! I plan to run him with 2 bombers among other things. My question is with fire starter do the bombers aoe also light everything hit by the blast damage on fire, or just the target directly hit?

Everything.
As an additional point. If you have solid ground up the Bomber will set your Fire Eaters on fire without doing blast damage.

I find the best way is to just consuming flames one of your beasts with the runebearer while all the fire eaters dogpile it. That AOE can't actually hurt them.

Bombers still do not cause fire damage (so they can shoot things that are immune to fire just fine), so FEs would be ARM 13 (or 15 with stone) against that POW 16 hit. Better to use consuming flames with the runebearer to light them up tbh.

Sorry if this is a little off topic, but can I keep forcing the bomber to make more ranged attacks? Or are they limited to only 2? (initial and forcing for reload1)
