HORUS HERESY LEGIONS LORE - SALAMANDERS THE ROAD FROM ISSTVAN

[@inquisitorgarza312]

The Salamanders are a noble Legion who suffer so much against their treacherous cousins and their foul warp spawn allies, but the like fire of their homeworld they continue to shine in those dark days. They are an example of what human spirit endure and suffers, but remain strong in their beliefs and is reforged with new purpose.

[@Kristian.B.Kristiansen]

There is a great line in "Deathfire" about the defeat at Istvan 5. The Iron Hands had the greatest number of marines left and they were fuelled by vengeance for Ferrus. The Ravenguard was few in numbers, but they had Corax leading them, and a shadow war was perfect for them. But the Salamanders was utterly smashed as a fighting force. Their numbers cut to the bone, their leaders dead and Vulkan missing.

[@silversurfer8818]

I remember Deathfire, Vulkan uttered one single sentence in the entire book - thanks Nick Kyme!

[@Baldermort]

I personally feel the Horus was desperate to smash the Iron Hands and Salamanders. Desperate. Imagine if they’d not been there? Been able to link up with Dorn and resist? Imperial fists and Salamanders? Or worse, all three? It would have taken decades to reach terra. They’d grind Horus assault to a crawl. :). Poor Manders. :(. But now they have successors. Excellent!! :).

[@Kristian.B.Kristiansen]

@@silversurfer8818 While that book had good moments such as Magnus saving the ship and talking to Numeon or the defence of Nucturn, it was indeed a long boring fight to get through!

[@Kristian.B.Kristiansen]

@@Baldermort Istvan 5 is really Horus's finest masterpiece as a commander. Having his initial plan ruined by the long fight at Istvan 3, he changes tact and creates the single worst military defeat in the Imperiums history. 250.000 loyal marines are slaughtered, one Primarch killed and another captured in just one day! Having isolated the 1th, 9th, 5th and 13th legions, the annihilation of the 10th, 18th and 19th left only the 6th and 7th in play. Yes this didn't last and the loyal legions rallied somewhat, but still a masterstroke!

[@lukeg7517]

@@Baldermort the Imperial Fists and the Salamanders working together would be quite the force to be reckoned with

[@Kristian.B.Kristiansen]

The fact that Magnus was the one to save Numeon and the ship carrying Vulkan home only makes their final battle more deliciously tragic and grand. Magnus's showed true strength in rescuing them and their kind words for each other is touching.

All the pyromania aside, i've always had a soft spot for the Salamanders. Out of all the chapters roaming the vastness of the Imperium, the Salamanders always seemed like the only ones who somehow became *_more_* humane after their ascendance into space marines.

[@kristofevarsson6903]

The Lamenters share the Salamanders love for the more squishy and downtrodden humans of the Imperium. They whittled themselves down to about only 200 Lamenters in TOTAL trying to save human slaves from an Ork invasion. Lamenters will always be my top boys because they're just unloved Salamanders.

Been saying it for years myself. RIP to him I sure wish we could have seen that. He would have been perfect. Absolutely monstrous in size and presence and devastating in anger but also jovial and downright hilarious at times. Add the fact that he truly was a gentle kind and loving giant from all evidence available. Vulkan completely. Too bad he wasn't a perpetual himself so that maybe we could still have him because his loss definitely was a loss to this world. Love MCD. Amazing actor.

Magnus certainly did wrong but the fact that he was willing to not let his sons be damned by themselves is admirable and quite sad

[@randomdude8202]

Yes, he did make mistakes for sure. But unlike his other brothers, his mistakes were human.

[@darko-man8549]

The thing I will always dislike however, is his brooding in his tower on Prospero (alongside Space Wolf nearly endless plot armour).

[@Pragabond]

Yeah Big E was honestly offering just a completely insane way to forgiveness. He was completely right in refusing it and its kind of stupid and infuriating that the reason Magnus didn't end up loyalist is the Emperor demanding Magnus be psychopathic. If nothing else you could have USED THOSE TROOPS RIGHT NOW BIG E. Let them fight for you and if they die and get thinned out that's a win win and if you really need Magnus to wipe his legion out...maybe do it after you win the war? You big idiot? But the emperor has a confusing tendency to just genocide troops wholesale when they could still be useful and we all know who I'm talking about.

[@captc0ck5lap60]

I love that each Primarch gets part or parts of the Emperors perfection. Like light split by a prism. Vulkan has the Emperors' immense strength and status as a perpetual, but more importantly, he inherited the Emperors love for humanity. He genuinely doesn't see himself as being above even the most humble child. To the contrary, Vulkan would be broken before he saw a human child be harmed. I've never met a 40k fan who doesn't at least like him.

[@Darqshadow]

Then what is Russ and The Lion? Dorn is his stoic nature while Sanguinius was his nobility

[@Evangelium]

I swear I didn't cry.... But my eyes became heavy. The suffering we endured during Istvaan 5. The torture, the crucifixion of my Primarch and my brothers. And Magnus my second favourite Primarch.... The second tragedy. A heart in the right place, but tricked due to desperation out of the supreme bond he had with his sons. I'm solemn, brooding... But the burning heart of the Dragon can NEVER be extinguished. 🐲🔥🔥🔥VULKAN LIVES!!! VULKAN LIVES!!!! 🐉 🔥🔥🔥. Magnus, you are forgiven. ✨

Your delivery of the lore is beyond amazing mate and draws one in so completely one loses hours listening to stories and info that might already know as in my case. Cheers and plz never stop. I hope that like your coverage of Fulgrim and Dorn that you will do vids for every primarch in absolute detail specifically Sanguinius (BA here through and through lol).
