I just tried out the IG's Firesword a couple of days ago, and apart from looking really cool and absolutely eradicating light infantry, it seems practically useless for such an expensive unit. Heavy infantry and above seem barely touched by it and the supposed effectiveness against Daemons doesn't seem very real at all; it got torn to shreds in single combat with a GUO without even doing a quarter of damage to him. It seems a shame for such an awesome concept as a mega-flamer to be made obsolete several tiers before it's even available for construction.

Completely agree, this could be the go-to for IG to counter huge daemons/ non mechanical or monstrous titan level units, but as it stands its less effective than even the flamers of Tzeentch at causing pain to tanks, buildings etc, obviously doesn't hurt daemons either.
