The Pryoclasts. For when you need something burned to glass, so that it may never rise to harm another soul again. Thanks for covering the Pyroclasts Uncle Baldemort. They were one of the things that got me to make my Homebrew Chapter. Good guys that have to do the hard jobs, but still keep their humanity.

[@randomcenturion7264]

@Matthew Beattie Sort of. The Pyroclasts didn't really mind not being in the spotlight so much since the jobs they did were brutal and were content to mainly celebrate within their own circles. The Iron Warriors on the other hand, also did dirty jobs, but desperately wanted to be in a more glorious campaign were they'd get respect from their peers. Although to be fair, the Pyroclasts dealt with this better because they were one sub-division of a Legion that did the dirty work. The Iron Warriors had the rotten luck of being a whole Legion devoted to doing dirty work.

This was an amazing entry and I loved it. My beloved Salamanders were captured beautifully by your story and recounting of the lore. Thank you

[@r.cdahuman7682]

Ive always (well at least since I got into 40k) loved how the salamanders, the chapter most known for being good guys and caring for the citizens, utilize fire. Fire is probably the most destructive of the 4 classical elements, but people forget the dual sided nature of fire. yes its flames burn away all that it is unleashed upon, but fire also has a gentle side. It can provide warmth when you are cold. It can be your guiding light in the dark. Its all about how it is used. It can be a roaring inferno, or a gentle, warming flame. Just like the salamders themselves.

[@ljdasilva3139]

Loved that you covered the Pyroclasts, I specifically play that battle company over others since the Salamanders are a sort of paradox with their humanity in the 40K universe, and the Pyroclasts being both the most terrible and the best of the chapter.

Love the new intro really shows what your all about. When it comes to space marine chapters I’ve always loved the Space wolves I like wolves and I love Vikings so the space wolves are a favorite of mine but as of late I’ve been loving the salamanders and they have become my second favorite chapter

[@goingforgold_8536]

Adrax, looked around the carnage he had wrought, seeming distance and cold; but even he could not hide the regret set deep within his hearth-colored eyes. “Is this what my father would have wanted? Is this what we must do when we step away from the forges of creation?” He thought to himself as the world weariness set deep into his bones, like an arthritic sore to his soul. A hand of ebony landed on his paldron, and he looked to find the wisdom and sympathy in the eyes of his chapter master in the hands owner. “I can see your pain, brother; and it makes me honored to fight the Emperor’s war with you. Just know, we fight this war now so that humanity will not have to later, we destroy, so that the future can be focused on creation.”

[@hach7882]

Ok i think Pyroclasts are one of the most scariest thing to face, not like Dark Eldars, Chaos or other horrors who do evil things and genocide for pure pleasure, some evil goal or for the heck of it, they are doing it with there humanity intact, feeling everything they do and still doing it, now that is scary thing to face.

[@randomcenturion7264]

Demons run, when a good man goes to war. The Dark Eldar are nothing but pansies. They're the equivalent of a bully pulling the legs off a spider then running at the first sight of something resembling a fair fight. The Pyroclasts? They're that nice guy, who will give you every chance to walk away and not let this get any further. Because once he has to cross that line, he isn't going to stop until you're paste.

Of all the legions I honestly feel like the Salamanders would adjust the best to a peaceful Imperium that they were expecting before the Horus Heresy. A few of the other legions were beginning to think about what they might do once they had won; but they had difficulty coming up with anything to do because they were built for combat through and through; even if they could find something to take their time they needed combat to feel alive. The Salamanders are built for combat as well but they seem to only do so entirely out of necessity. It's even more tragic for them to be stuck fighting an unending war for over 10 thousand years considering they would have been happy to stop.
