I felt bad for Numeon throughout the whole DSM and when he threw himself into mount deathfire to bring Daddy V back I cried

[@auricomnights2163]

The Salamanders understood fully the will of the Emperor, beloved by all, and they are rare examples of actual good guys in 40k.

[@angelusumbrae]

The Legion, and later the Chapters it separated into, that have always been the most interesting and emotion inspiring to me has always been the Blood Angels. But while they also fight for humanity to save and protect it, the pain of the Angel's death has wounded them so deeply that they lose themselves in it at times, and innocents suffer for it. The only Legion who meets, and due to their lack of mind breaking wound surpass it by not turning on humanity, is the Salamanders. While it kinda saddens me to say it, they are the most human of all the Astartes. The IXth salutes you all, mighty armed and mighty hearted children of Vulcan.

What i like about the salamanders is that they are something outside the field of battle. They are smith and engineers. As much as Ultramarines are administrators and Blood angels artists. They were ready to cast away their armor After the great crusade... Such a tragedy...

[@bignelly9476]

Salamanders are the the definition of “brother get the flamer, the heavy flamer”

[@KADASUVA]

Most Adeptus Astartes have forgotten their sacred charge to protect humanity, however, the Salamanders have not.

[@virgilromero3252]

I’m happy to see Salamanders get the love they deserve, I’ve been playing them since 4th edition.

[@Phoros]

The Salamanders are my favorite legion/chapter, so often overlooked for their more boastful and extreme brother chapters. The salamanders are almost ordinary, generic. Any of their history that might make them stand out amongst the adeptus astartes has been hidden away or lost to time as the legion and chapter has been almost wiped out time and time again. Despite this they bear no chip on their shoulders, hold no insecurities, they are steadfast in their commitment to the citizens of the imperium. Where other chapters see normal humans as weak, lower than them, undeserving, the Salamanders know better than anyone else, blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the galaxy. Vulkan Lives!

[@JohnCollins-ep8hx]

love the content ,its narration is different to other 40k channels yet embodies the hole essence of the 40k would love to see a video about great emperor himself

[@gr8m887]

Too few heroes remain in the Imperium. Knowing the Salamanders remain true to their founding standards offers a sliver of hope in the grim darkness of the far future.

[@julian2624]

Just started up 40k again after a 15 year hiatus and the lore and everything around the Salamanders is truly heart whelming

[@williamknehr4048]

One of my three favorite legions. The others being the Space Wolves and the Blood Angels.

[@gavinpierce2845]

One thing thats off is Salamanders are not 100% codex compliant. They are allowed to follow the promethean creed instead of the official imperial creed. And they only have 7 companies over a little over 100 Astartes each. One company for each settlement of Nocturne.

[@wisc_]

All I can picture is Vulkan hugging Dorn when they met again

[@DarthEvilicus]

If he were still alive Michael Duncan Clark would be the perfect actor to play Vulkan

[@SecularFelinist]

I love that the scariest-looking Astartes are the nicest around. =][=

[@kuwaitisnotadeployment1373]

Sweet! Great storytelling bro. It's hard for me to find good Warhammer channels that aren't just bootleg Luetin or baldermort rip offs but you have a great style and storytelling ability that's informational, entertaining, and unique. You're my 3rd favorite channel from now on...

[@cyrax9655]

Kept in mind what Artellus Numeon is one of a few Astartes what not only cried, but cried really A LOT. He went a litteral Hell itself to see his Father. And yet, he didn't. He didn't see a Vulkan even in his final moment.

[@NoNameIsBest89]

This is why I play usually like to play as Salamanders. If there are any truely good Astartes in the grim darkness of the far future then they are it.

[@tomcollett24]

I go back and forth between my favourite astartes chapters, but salamander’s are always up there along with white scars, iron hands and imperial fists

[@iNDY1001]

I think we know full well the chapter Librarians make use of a specialised Vox caster known as Psycaster that is known to interfere with Chaos entities connection to the immaterium, often to the ire of the servents of Slanesshe. So strong a force that some in the Grey Knights look to Salamander Libra-Forgers to annoint their power armour with psy-forged runes to amplify their protection against the ruinous powers.

[@kira68200]

the apothecarion of the Salamanders also have a tradition concerning their colour scheme, an old story about an apothecary how never wash the blood of his battle brothers on his armor, for tradition sakes, the apothecary of this chapter now paint in red the left side of their helmet and armor

[@Ilusionariat]

Truly the most honorable and compassionate force in the Imperium of man is the 18th. May the Emperor of Man aid them in defense of mankind.

[@theequitableprose]

It is not enough to simply be strong, but to use that strength to which we all aspire to help and carry those that do not have it yet. For one day that strength finds itself in all, and humanity as a whole climbs the mountain of destiny to look from the summit of compassion and deep, inner, victory.

[@lastdracon]

Basing my homebrew/headcannon chapter on Salamanders but cross training them with another chapter, Imperial Fists. Did originally had the idea of making them a Cursed Founding by making them a chimera chapter of a geneseed of Vulkan and Dorn. But they are guardians of the people but able to hold the line with Dorns tactics. Still thinking of a name and weapon theme... and making their mutation scaled skin so they more durable like their father with a added bit of slightly superior self healing.

Never stand between a Salamander and him trying to protect a civilians (especially helping innocent children), you will be brutally pummeled and then burned alive. Also they are legion who are the most human of all legions.
