Salamanders

Salamanders Special Rules:

Eye to EyeThe Salamanders specialise in close range combat, units with eye to eye are not prevented fromassaulting after shooting rapid fire weapons. In addition if assaulted by an enemy unit when notalready engaged they may choose to take a leadership test, if passed they may shoot at theassaulting unit before they attack with blast weapons scoring D3 hits and template weapons scoringD6 hits instead of rolling to scatter or being placed over enemy models. Casualties from this roundof shooting count towards combat resolution. A unit that has attempted to take this leadership testmay not attack in close combat regardless of whether they pass or fail.

Walkers with this rule count as having Ld 10 for this test.

PrometheanThe Salamanders follow the doctrine of the promethean cult placing high emphasis on self-reliance,self sacrifice, loyalty and patience over haste. The symbols of the forge, the hammer and the flameare prominent. Promethean units hold to all these tenants, and count flamers, heavy flamers,flamestorm cannons, meltaguns and multimeltas as twin linked and any thunderhammers as mastercrafted.

Superior EquipmentThe Salamanders are trained from their early induction into the chapter in the ways of the forge. Assuch they are able to maintain and repair their own equipment leaving the techmarines of thechapter free to craft superior artificer arms and armour. Combined with regular trade with theAdeptus Mechanicus and the high level of individual technical skill, the Salamanders are arguablyequipped with the best weapons and armor in the Imperium.

Superior Bolters, Close Combat Weapons Bolt Pistols, Storm Bolters and the Bolter components ofCombi Weapons may all reroll any rolls of 1 to hit. Superior armour may reroll any failed 1s onarmor saves.

Fireborn:The Salamanders volcanic home and the many challenges they must undertake to resist the furnacelike heat of their world have made them more resilient to heat and fire, able to stand the inferno ofenemy fire where other marines might falter. Flamer weapons, heavy flamers, flamestorm cannons(and other similar equipment) and melta weapons must all reroll successful rolls to wound modelswith the Fireborn special rule and cancels out with special rules that allow rerolls such as twinlinked.

In addition, models with this special rule may reroll dangerous terrain tests from lava or magmaterrain.

Heroic Resolve:The Salamanders player may force a reroll on the dice roll that determines whether there is anadditional game turn. They may only attempt this once per game and if the first result caused thegame to end.

Salamanders Wargear:

Tactical Multimelta/Heavy BolterA tactical multimelta is able to be wielded more ea silly than normal due to a combinator of the Salamander's training inheavy gravity and/or suspensor units on the weapon itself. These weapons may be fired as normal or with the followingprofiles:

Weapon Range Str. AP TypeTactical Multimelta 12 8 1 Assault 1Tactical Heavy Bolter 18 5 4 Assault 3

Salamander MantleMade from the adamantium strength hide of a Salamander, this cloak can deflect blows that would tear even a SpaceMarine apart. A model with this Wargear has the Eternal Warrior special rule.

Communications Armor This wargear is a set of power armor combining a set of sophisticated electronics warfare devices and a powerful armmounted machine cogitator that allows them to track enemy movements and respond to them quickly. Once per turn ifan enemy unit comes in from reserve from any method and comes within 12 of a unit with communication armor theunit may immediately open fire upon them.

Salamander HideTabbards or light coverings of Salamander hide given as honors. Grants the model a 6+ invulnerable save, or a 5+ whencombined with a combat shield.

Thermograph:This weargear upgrades the optics of the wearer with superior thermal imaging equipment to that normally found inSpace Marine optics. It allows the attached unit to force the enemy to reroll any successful cover saves from theirshooting.

Disruption Beacon:The Disruption beacon works identically to the Land Speeder Storm's Jamming Beacon (Codex: Space Marines page75) but with a range of 12

Vehicle Upgrades:Re-enforced CeramiteSalamanders vehicles are often plated in heavy layers of additional heat resistant armour. Melta weapons do not gain anextra D6 to penetrate, and at over half range do not count as being AP1 when fired over half range against vehicles withthis upgrade.

Vehicles with this upgrade are limited to 9 movement when moving at cruising speed. Walkers with this upgrade maynot run. However, they count all lava or magma dangerous or difficult terrain as open ground.

Stabilised Targeting SystemMany Salamanders vehicles have access to superior targeting systems and may fire all their weapons when moving atcombat speed.

Repair EquipmentWith access to additional tools and mechanical training, a Salamanders vehicle crew with this upgrade may attempt torepair an immobilised result or a single weapon destroyed result on a D6 roll of 4+ instead of shooting in the shootingphase. Vehicles with the power of the machine spirit may still fire one weapon.

Psychic Powers

Avenger, Gate of Infinity, Machine Curse AS Codex: Space Marines

Inner FireThis power is used at the end of the movement phase. The Librarian turns the heroic spark of hisbattle brothers into a roaring fire. They may ignore the most serious of wounds. The Librarian andhis attached unit have Feel no pain until the beginning of the next Salamanders movement phase.

Living FlameThis power is used at the start of the shooting phase. Guided by the Librarian's mind, the fires of theSalamanders seek out the gaps enemy's armour. All enemy units within 18 of the Librarian mustreroll successful armor or cover saves against wounds caused by flamers, heavy flamers,flamestorm cannons, meltsguns or multimeltas.

Inferno WallThe Librarian summons forth a wall of fire to incinerate his foes and protect his battle brothers.This is used at the start of the movement phase. The Librarian places a wall of fire 8 long and 1wide with the closest point no more than 6 away, as long as it does not touch any friendly models.Any model under the wall takes an immediate Str 5 AP4 hit and any survivors must move awayfrom the template. The wall persists until the beginning of the next Salamanders movement phase,granting cover, and causing an immediate ST5 AP4 hit to any model that passes through it andcounts as dangerous terrain. No model may end it's turn in the fire.

Fury of the SalamanderThis power is used in the shooting phase and counts as a shooting attack. The Librarian summons aspectral incarnation of a giant Salamander which strikes out enemy units with claw and fang.The Salamander travels in a straight line for 24 stopping if it hits a friendly unit or impassableterrain. Any enemy units with a toughness value are hit by D6 ST6 AP4 hits, vehicles are hit by asingle Str 6 hit, as if struck by a monstrous creature in close combat.

Burning JudgementThis power is used in the shooting phase and can be targeting on one enemy unit within 12 orengaged in combat with the Librarian. The enemy is covered in the flames of righteous judgementand their wicked deeds are punished. Until the beginning of the next Salamanders shooting phasethe affected unit's weapons all count as having the 'gets hot!' special rule. In addition, any rolls to hitof 1 in close combat also cause them a take an automatic wound.

Psykers affected by burning judgement take a wound from perils of the warp on any roll of adouble. If the leadership test passes, they may still use the power. If the test fails on a double, thepower is seared from their mind and they may not use it for the remainder of the battle.
