Inspired by a comment on 'Woah Boltgun' by ‪@williamnone‬
On a planet torn by strife between demons, orcs, and the forces of the Imperium. A contingent of Salamanders and Ultramarines are searching for whats left of the enemy. They stumble up a group of children, apparently orphans from the battles that destroyed their homes and killed their parents. One of the Ultramarines state that they will give the children the Emperor's Mercy. Only to be smacked upside the back of his helmet by Lieutenant Titus! Titus takes of his helmet and states, "Are these not the citizens of the Imperium that we are sworn to protect?" Many of the Ultramarines hang their heads in shame. The field captain of the Salamanders decides to take all the orphans in and asks Titus if he will do the same. Titus agrees. And thus a new legend begins in the grim dark future of the 41st Millennium.
Over time stories begin to circulate about Space Marine legions who have children aiding them in battle. The battle efficiency and prowess of these legions are higher in some cases then the best known squads and legions in the galaxy. The Administratum soon gained word that child Abhumans, child mutants, and even child eldar were being taken in by the aberrant Space Marine Chapters and sent Inquisitors to find out. Some Inquisitors came back with glowing reports, while others seemed to go missing or reported to have suffered an unfortunate accidents with airlocks and the business ends of lasguns or bolter rifles. After a while the leadership of the Order of Inquisitors requested that the Administratum stop sending their Inquisitors on these useless missions. Although some whispered that the last Inquisitor leader who put his hands on a Chapter child was stomped into a fine red paste, and that was the reason the Inquisition stopped "asking questions".
Regardless there could be no doubt that the efficiency of these Chapters was high and that morale was boosted where ever they went. These small chapters were soon being called the Orphan Legions by the public at large. Even Roboute Guilliman quietly gave his approval of these legions because he could see that the children were well taken care of and would gladly join the fight when the time came. And soon it did.
The male orphans would either join the chapters that took them in as Space Marines, enter into the Imperial Guard, or even become Commissars. The girls would become administrative assistants for their home chapters, Sisters of Battle, or Apothecaries for their home chapters as well. The loyalty of the children was unquestionable, their faith strong, and their battle prowess amazed even some battle hardened infantry and Space Marines. When a Salamander Captain was questioned as to why they took in orphans he answered, "The tallest Space Marine is one who kneels to comfort a child! And no warrior fights harder then when he fights for his family! Do you understand now?" And thus the Legious Orphanus or Orphan Legions was born. Small chapters of Space Marines who followed the ideals of the Great Primarch Vulkan! Who loved Humanity as their Emperor did! These chapters gave a dark and war torn galaxy a small light and hope and wholesomeness greatly needed in the grim dark future of the 41st Millennium. May the Emperor smile upon and bless them!

@@nadaningunos9339 a kriegsmans diary input 2 final entry. when krieg was a paradise, we were foolish, our wealth brought comfort, our comfort bred complacency and complacency bred arrogance. We spat in the face of our God emperors kindness and rebelled against the imperium. Our ancestors sins weigh heavily upon our shoulders. Our burden will be the heretics bane, our burden will be the traitor's fear, the sharp tip of the explosive spear as we ride into battle will be the last thing they see before we end their pathetic life We'll drown them in our blood, crush them with our bodies, our broken bones used as spikes for the enemy to trip upon. Comfort brought well deserved destruction to our world. So we will show them the comfort they deserve, we will show them the luxury we kriegsmen adore. We will show them that it isn't chaos they should fear, immortality is a trait of the coward, so unworthy not even death want their soul near them. We are the kriegsmen, and as the Cadians says "the planet broke before the guard did" And if the heretics the demons the xenos scum want us off this planet, they'll have to blow it into atoms first for we are the kriegsmen, honor in duty salvation in death and we do not believe in surrender.

The Emperor had to actually train Vulkan to not just think with his heart, but with his mind, or else his self-preservation would be non-existent. He then brought him to meet his legion, who were getting fucked up by Orkz, as they lended every ship they could get to evac the civilians. Vulkan saw this, and understood. The Salamanders were TOO human, TOO willing to die to save people, so he needed to reign that in. With his new legion, he did the most tactically sound option he could think of... Drop right in front of the Orkz with his newly trained Legion of Salamanders and proceed to fucking deck the dogshit out of Orkz at melee range. I love the Salamanders.

IT is moments like these that remind you, *it's a damn crime the salamanders and various other chapters don't have the love and respect they deserve by gw.*

[@amandahugenkiss2310]

I’m actually convinced that GW is kinda racist. All the attention goes to white space marine chapters like ultramarines blood Angel and space wolves, and non white Soace marine chapters like the Salamanders and the White Scars get ignored. (Yes, I know the Salamander’s dark skin is a result of gene seed mutation, but they never are seen as white.)

If there’s ever a chapter I had to choose to join I’ll always go for Salamanders. I don’t wanna save an imperium and have no faithful and loyal citizens in it

[@sanshands9829]

This is why the Salamanders are the best Space Marines. They just want to help and protect their people, and seeing one treat a girl with kindness shows their principles.

[@Red-Check-Mark]

Unless that girl is a Xenos child. Then they brutally murder them. How kind and loving. ^^

[@sundown6806]

​@@Red-Check-Mark well those xenos aren't humans so was anything of value really lost?

@sundown6806 I value a Xeno much more than a Human Being. And animals.

There is nothing more badass then being confronted with the such a harsh and horrible reality and choosing to be virtuous. Don't get me wrong I love my anti-heroes and my own MC is a tortured and bitter asshole, but having that kernel of humanity at his center is what makes the story work.

[@juyver11]

The Salamanders are the most human of all the Space Marines. Their existence is hope for the humanity and compassion of the imperium. If only all the imperium were like them.

[@warhammerguy]

Honestly the more I see of the Salamanders I am more and more convinced that if I had to paint a space marine chapter it would be them.

[@Wolfrage76]

The Space Marines from The Chapter of The Salamanders should be a role model for all of the rest of The Space Marines Chapters when it comes to Humility, Dedication, and Humane. FOR FATHER VULCAN!! FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!

[@mikedanielespeja6128]

No... not for the Emperor... for the Imperium he believed in!

[@ronaldthompson4989]

In a world of constant suffering a little kindness can be worse, for it reminds one how bad everything else is

[@thetheory6159]

"We yet remember why our father, and his own father, dreamt of the Imperium. Not for glory. Not for hatred. But for humanity. Not for the single pompous nobleman, the treacherous hiveworld underbelly scum, but for each spark of joy, hope, kindness and bravery that lies in the heart of each of these small, frail creatures. We are Astartes, yes -- but we are, first and foremost, men, just as our Grandfather was."
