Salamanders

“For the Promethean Cult, We Never Falter”

Born in the volcanic forges of Nocturne, the Salamanders are among the most compassionate of the Adeptus Astartes, valuing the lives of ordinary humans as much as their own. Every warrior carries the mark of the Promethean Cult and the memory of Vulkan, their primarch who is said to walk again among them in times of dire need. Where other Chapters see collateral damage as acceptable cost, the Salamanders will hold the line to the last to save a single soul, wielding flame and bolter with equal devotion.

Army Rule

Oath of Moment

At the start of your Command phase, select one enemy unit within line of sight of any ADEPTUS ASTARTES unit: it is your Oathed unit until the next Command phase. Friendly ADEPTUS ASTARTES units re-roll Hit rolls against your Oathed unit.

Promethean Cult

Each time a SALAMANDERS model with a Flamer weapon is destroyed, and it has not already fought this phase, roll one D6: on a 4+ it can fight or shoot with that weapon before being removed as a casualty.
