As someone who started Salamanders before 10th and is just starting to expand his army, this made me very happy. Not ridiculously broken, but strong enough
-
Burning Vengeance is pretty hilarious, thematically. Guardman accidentally shoots at a transport, everything just bounces off. Out comes a squads of flamer marines and then just abso-fucking-lutely turns everyone into ash while yelling praise to the Emperor.
-
Funnily enough, Kayvaan Shrike and a team of Van Vets with the better pistol range really shine here. Rapid ingress in, cant be shot, moves up and shoots at +1S (S9 inferno?!) and then charge in.
-
At this point all I can do is laugh. Salamanders get an awesome detachment. Everyone loves it, it looks so fun, we’re doing great. Flamestorm Aggressors? Fuck yea dude gimme a full squad of 6. What leader are you gonna give them? The Captain. Captain with what? NOT A FUCKING FLAMESTORM GAUNTLET.
-
Another unit I find interesting here is the Brutalis Dreadnought. It is not a transport, but it carries quite a threatening twin-linked Multi-melta that hits on a 3+ natively and still remains a 4+ hit during combat, as well as a rapid-fire 3 heavy stubber that is also twin-linked. You will still want to try to facilitate charge with the Brutalis, but it is a fire platform that really wants to get into close-range.
-
While not necessarily optimal, do consider that this detachment can give Assault to the Demolisher Cannon on a Vindicator! Maybe not competitive, but quite funny! In seriousness, I love this detachment. My Marines are a Salamanders successor, the Dark Krakens, and this detachment will be by far my favorite way to run it
-
I play Ultramarines, but this is absolutely going to suit my playstyle so I guess I'm actually a Salamander at heart. Guess it's time to get those Infernus guys painted up!
-
I am building a Black Templars list for this detachment. With all their melta and pyre blasters. It's going to fun, calling it The Heretic Solution, lol.
-
Welp, that settles it. Congrats Salamanders Vulkan is probably next.
-
As a Adepta Sororitas player, I can only look on in envy.
-
As someone who had slowly but surely been making a custom covenant of fire themed force for two years now, this pleases me mightily.
-
I know the Redeemer is the new hotness, but if you used a Land Raider Crusader, you could put an Apothecary Biologis with the Captain and Aggressors as well.
-
Rhino rush is back and it's better than ever. 2 Tacticals in Rhino, 2 MM Devs in Rhinos. 2 DS Terminator squads and a DS Flamestorm Aggressor Squad. 2 Annihilator Preds for fire support. Ventris, 2 Termie chaplains
-
Blood angels can make great use out of a lot of this. The transports strats will go a little under utilized but having an impulsor or a land raider full of something dangerous could be really strong to mix into to a standard BA type list. The +1 to wound strat will be very nice for a lot of melee options and our inferno pistols.
-
Onslaught of fire is great if they have good stratagems to protect infantry in combat, battle shock them and charge them.
-
I'm sad the gauntlet can't be used in melee but that's probably overkill, but I still can't understand why adraxs hammer doesn't have devastating wounds!
-
1CP Burning Vengeance (battle tactic) "Those damned bastard aliens are gonna pay for shootin' up my ride!"
-
I wanted to build a Salamander army but I just couldn’t get the paint job to look right. So I shifted to Dark Angels. Still, this makes me happy
-
👍👍 I was planning to grab some vehicles to play my Salamanders out of anyway, I wasn't expecting vehicle shenanigans too but I'll take it 😃!
