'It is better to die in your own ossum explosion than actually doing any damage to your enemies'
The Champions of Ignition are a coalition of minifigs who believe in the almighty God of Explosions. Their goals are unique, as they lack any need to kill others, but instead enjoy just exploding things in the best of ways. This usually does kill some people, but that doesn't bother them too much; it adds quite a nice red hue to the rest of the explosion.
With these goals, the weaponry that they use usually includes some sort of firework, or other fantastic flaming spectacle.
The faction is lead by many priests of the divine energy that is explosions. They're weapons vary from each, and all represent a different aspect of the Champions.
This priest is one of the destructive side; they specialize in making the most damage to both structures and people.
The rocketeers are one of the more common units. Armed with heavy firework launchers, even a small squad of these can destroy entire cities in seconds.
The distractionist is an iconically unique unit to the Champions, as they are there to be killed. The hope is that the opposition appreciates the art of explosion, and kills him in the most spectacular of ways.
The Sniper is a quieter unit, who takes the backline and picks off straying troops one by one. Oddly, this unit has nothing to do with explosions
SIKE! Of course it does; the sniper shoots armor piercing fireworks. There will always be explosions
Lastly, The 'Firestarter'. This unit is a close quarters, firecracker-armed, killing machine. The sheer amount of explosives this can fire off within a few seconds is astounding, usually taking out whole squads with ease.
Obligatory firing shot.
------------------------------
I've been posting these to the discord, but I thought that it would be best to put them here so it means that there's a record that these ever existed. There's still more to come, including regulars and more mechs, but this is the current state as of now.
Any feedback is appreciated!

Re: Champions of Ignition
UPDATE:
Reinforcements have arrived for the champions!
NEW FIGS
The twin priests Isla and Scarlet take on dueling roles: Isla taking the role of light and the life created by it, and Scarlet taking the role of darkness and the decaying aftermath of light.
The commandos are one of the most hated troops of the Champions by both the enemy and the Champions as his techniques are too silent and secretive. Even with this flaw, he still performs his job well with his invisible rocket and stealth suit
The main forces may be filled with specialists, they still need cannon fodder. The first batch of troops are the roman candles, taking the role of ranged fire.
The second batch is a close combat squad, all armed with baseball bats to... play baseball with, of course
THE 'KINDLING'
The final and most impressive addition is the 'Kindling', an artillery based unit, armed with 8 rockets for pure destruction.
For this build, I tried to go as close as possible to the 'firestarter' while still feeling original, and I think I may have done it?
