[@gagaplex]

My favourite legion, now chapter. They actually give a damn about human lives.

[@PhthaloGreenskin]

gagaplex LPs so do the Blood Angels. Chapter Master Dante is especially careful about human lives.

[@cameronreese8922]

So do the Space Wolves. Always getting into trouble with the Inquisition especially after Armageddon!

[@budi5361]

I really hope they bring back Vulkan fro the next returning Primarch, i know Leman Russ is cool but come on. Vulkan is the true bro

[@datfox2844]

Budi Mulyadi I would take Vulcan Russ or lion

[@crystalalarm3]

Why does everyone forget the Great Kahn, he is still alive just lost in the webway, which is bad but still infinitely easier to escape than the warp.

[@jamiekrutzfeldt3522]

But white scars are lame

[@crystalalarm3]

I agree but he is technically closer thats all.

[@x-1584]

There all cold blooded genetically inhanced Super Soldier killers imo. 😈🖒☇👍👺

[@Beadlayer69]

Vulkan was bros4life with most primarchs, what a cool dude

[@nightsage217]

+ Most Humane legion, they even talk to fellow citizens! + Making own artifact weaponry instead of rely on forge world too hard + Knowing good support is key to win, you know that when you play mmo pub. + Known to favor heavy weaponry & equipment, terminator FTW + If you like charcoal black skin red eye glowing space marine with dragon theme green armors. - Numbers get wrecked, only enough to provide support. - Your primarch was last known to be inside of a big bang of waaagh! energy. pray hard. - The lore/story of salamander army is little. Probably had to wait for Vulkan returns. - No good rules yet for August 2017. Please steal Ultramarines one, since Salamanders do follow the "rule book". And notify your opponent before hand.

[@ThePizzaGoblin]

and since they maintain their own war gear, their techmarines can occupy their time with making masterwork wargear.

[@dkon3491]

or they can body up with blood ravens and learn how to "aquire"😉😉 artifact weaponry and armor from other chapters, will save alot of time.

[@MrKago1]

Of all the primarchs I would follow into battle, Vulcan is probably the only one.

Scatlan Da_Gonozal Salamander Ubermarines?

[@brettburns9321]

I listen to these more than once great quality and great content as allways. I don't play warhammer used to play necromunda in the 90s but read the black library books still. these chapter lore videos are one of my most watched videos on youtube. really wanted to say thank you for the hours of enjoyment

[@TacticaImperialis]

Thank you very much - I'm glad you enjoy what we do!

[@VectorGhost]

such an underrated chapter

[@Tarumarugan]

[@donshipman8441]

Vulkun always lives!!! Stomp stomp stomp

[@maxbrandt6]

My favorite chapter! I also like the symbolism of the salamander meaning someone or something that has passed through the fires of conflict unharmed and to become stronger then before, knowing that the actual lizard-like salamander can survive a fire briefly.

[@Brandelwyn]

You can do harm to them just by holding them in your warm hands, though

[@maxbrandt6]

@@Brandelwyn Funny how that is.

[@ninja011]

If Guilliman ever wishes to do another Imperium Secundus, I personally would love to see Vulkan be the New Emperor. That or if it is to be more like a Triumvirate, add in Lion El'jonson. The three would make for what I see a very balanced governance. I've always admired the Salamanders from a cultural and practical standpoint.

[@ninja011]

True, that is where Guilliman and his knowledge in State Craft comes in. That is why I'd like to see an Imperial Triumvirate with Guilliman and Vulkan on it together, they would balance each other out quite well, as would the Lion with them too. Just saying though, it more than unlikely though.

[@1975kara]

Cantankerous Malcontent n

[@Tarumarugan]

Vulkan, Robute, and the Lion is a great combo. Unfortunately we can’t add Sanguinius to them I think that would be perfect.

[@joshthomas-moore2656]

Great Video Micheal really well done i play the Salamanders in both 30K and 40K and its just for the lore you can beat them as hard as you like but you have to kill every last one of them to beat them and they just keep surviving much like their Primarch. I also love how they care more for the people of the Imperium rather then them selfs.

[@joshthomas-moore2656]

Also Micheal an interesting Character from the Heresy era is Nemetor Commanding the 15th Reconnaissance Company he was Vulkans friend and died in the Primarchs arms during the Drop Site Massacre.

[@TacticaImperialis]

josh thomas-moore Nemetor is interesting, but unfortunately we know very little about him besides what happened on Istvaan. If there was more to his story I'd have covered him, but as I didn't want to do a double miscellaneous I had to prioritise I'm afraid

[@joshthomas-moore2656]

Don't worry about it it didn't take away from the video which was great

[@ronaldowens5025]

josh thomas-moore only the wolves care anywhere near as much my two favorite chapters

[@lscf]

I've listened to all your Legion stories and I can say with honestly that after learning about all of the Legions, The Salamanders are my favourite along with Vulkan being my favourite Primarch. Fierce and hardy warriors with magnificent and brutal weapons and armour.

[@pyrosauria7444]

This is just speculation but I believe that Vulkan and his Salamander were good friends with Magnus and his Thousand Sons due to Vulkan seemingly acceptance of Psychers and Magnus helping the Salamander return to Nocturne. Plus the combat doctrines of the two legions do work well together in a sense. What's your take on this? :o

[@coloneljurten9046]

I know I'm not Micheal, but my take is that Vulkan wouldn't have been 100% loyal or chummy with Magnus as he was still overtly loyal to his father, but I do believe he wouldn't take action against Magnus, due to loving him as a brother.

[@josephscarborough8888]

Pyroskies tactically the sons and the salamanders would be a devastating combo. Walls of promethium followed by ceramite crunching close quarters combat oriented salamanders supported by pure psychic domination and prescience?

[@X3._.n3]

I can't believe there's actually a volcano called "Mount Deathfire" lol.

[@mannofdober873]

It's really quiet today...

[@michaelharris8111]

WHAT?

[@yourmotherandthesandpeople2298]

YES!!

[@matttwidale6225]

Yessss! I've been waiting for the Salamanders

[@mastergunzpaintworx2644]

my favorite of the original legions. Building an army for 8th

[@hope121107]

Awesome work

[@kb9oak749]

Here lies Vulkan. Long live Vulkan!

[@OnDavidsBrain]

FOR FRIENDSHIP!

[@nooneinparticular5256]

Why does it seem that the most unique legions, like the Salamanders & White Scars seem to get the least development, and stories?

[@judowrestlerka]

Tu'Shan vs. The Volcan .....great film

[@IDICBeer]

Thanks for the story, enjoyed that

[@InquisitorThomas]

Hey Tau did you hear that Alexis loves Magnus? They're such a cute couple.

[@sanguiniusonvacation1803]

Inquisitor Thomas don't tell Fulgrim

[@romulusnuma116]

He'll join in

[@Thehairysoap]

emporor's blood, what am i reading.

[@TheCorrodedMan]

Thehairysoap (lord eriner of the word bearers appears) *the glorious fruition of a plan almost ten thousand years in the making...two of the most powerful chaos lords together at last,soon we shall sally forth from the eye and retake our lost glory!*

[@TheDukeOfDallas]

"Selected for their fiery personalities..." Fiery Personalities isn't one of the things that pops in my mind when I think about The Salamanders lol, that said I'm sure they show their true selves when they're only in the presence of their brothers. I know The Salamanders give the warmest hugs of any of the Loyalist Legions/Chapters and unless they're lighting their victims before crushing them in a bear-hug I assume the same can be said for the Traitor Legions too.

[@leopoldjenkins]

this was excellent. Really enjoying series

[@PanosKalaigidis]

Is this a Legion or a Death Metal Band? The Emperor TTS

[@ricardoortega5691]

The true bro of Bros lives!!!! stomp stomp!

[@donshipman8441]

STOMP STOMP STOMP!!!! The Best Legion! Best Primarch! Hands down!

[@NewGuy2534]

You'd think he'd come back when Failbaddon "conquered" Cadia, but you'd be wrong.

[@michaelharris8111]

Nahhh. Papa Vulcano wont come around for something as simple as the Cadian gate falling and unleashing literal hell across the galaxy. "Cadia Gate has been destroyed." *I Sleep* "Civilian Hab-Blocks on Terra destroyed" *REAL SHIT?*

[@zipherdias420]

So basically, these guys are strait up fearless heroes.

[@yourmotherandthesandpeople2298]

Yeah pretty much

[@dcox5555]

My favorite legion and Primarch!

[@TearDownGenesis]

Salamanders are the greatest I believe the teleporter was supposed to take him to the Emperor but the ruin storm and that weird device that gave ultramar a psuedo astronomicon. so he was teleported there. that's my guess.

[@cypher4783]

Some where in the galaxy is an old black smith, larger than most and wiser than most.

[@stevenforman3044]

Thanks a bunch. :D

[@HonsouDidNothingWrong]

Eyyy, my favorite of the first loyalist legions!

[@Xion_Toshiro]

Their Wiki makes the Salamanders / Dragon Warriors a personal favorite Legion.

[@Brandelwyn]

Wikis are trash though

[@christopheraaron1255]

you know ALL the primarchs were psychic to some degree, right?

[@TacticaImperialis]

That's how the theory goes, but we've never had canon evidence of it. I personally believe they probably are, but as they never showed evidence of it to our knowledge I can't say that they are for sure.

[@christopheraaron1255]

Fair enough but they are essentially modified clones of the Emprah with warp juju added to the mix. You also can't genecode for awe...

[@hitomisalazar4073]

Honestly I always figured the planned role for the Salamanders was "Rapid Response Force", in terms of Internal Security. Small legion for example, their self reliance leading to superior technology giving the small force an even greater advantage in small engagements than a typical Legio Astartes unit would have. Combined with their own defensive doctrine and where they were fielded. They seem (From what I've seen) to have done a lot more "Anti-Piracy" actions than other legions during the great crusade. Instead of kicking the crap out of orks, fallen humans, minor xenos empires, etc, they were holding the interior of the Imperium, running around smacking down Dark Eldar Pirates, Eldar Corsairs, and Ork Freebootas more or less. Their high discipline combined with Smash Mouth up close and brutal style also fits with these sorts of "Counter Insurgency/Commando Raids" tactics. We also know in terms of Friends, Vulkan had personally crafted one of the greatest melee weapons personally for Horus Lupercal, so I'm sure he had some fondness for the Favored Son if nothing else. I've also seen references that Vulkan was on good terms with Jaghati Khan, though it's very rarely mentioned. Anyway, nice to see some Salamanders getting some love. :) In terms of the "He inherited Perpetualness from the Emperor" thing? Well... the funny thing is I never questioned that the Emperor is a Perpetual. He was kind of defined as one before the word "Perpetual" ever entered the lexicon of 40k lore. The Shamans were described as beings who revived everytime they died. And the Emperor of course made up of all the Shamans, their powers, and their knowledge. So the idea that he somehow wouldn't have this ability never really entered my mind. I mean I know back in the day it was one of the "The Emperor Revives" theories/plans in lore. If he dies, he comes back. Or if the Sensei are sacrificed, he revives. Or if he's sacrificed at the right point the Star-Child in the warp awakens as the God Emperor, etc. All things that since they've tried to nope away because... well... it takes away dramatic tension from the series if we know the answers to key questions/the future after all. But reintroducing Perpetuals in 30k just kind of spat in the face of erasing all the other theories they put out before like Sensei and the Star Child to the point where I think it was intentional and what they wanted to go with. ... then again I think the whole reason they made Ollie Pius a Perpetual in 30k is just so when he shows up in front of Horus, Horus can kill him and prove "I can kill perpetuals!!!" so that it seems like he could kill the Emperor.

[@markhartshorn3476]

I shouldn't but VULKAN LIVES! stomp stomp

[@dredgenlore3334]

Magnus the red being trapped in the webway it would be great when Vulkan comes back he goes to console and help Magnus regain his honor

[@OmniGSage]

More than willing to die, retreating not an option, taking on overwhelming odds? I feel like the Kreig and the Catachans must have been inspired by those guys. The more i hear about the Salamanders, the more they become my favorite legion.

[@Brandelwyn]

There was a story, btw, about krieg and salamanders fighting together. It ended quite poorly...

[@djsaunter]

Vulkan Lives! Where's at least the Tu'Shan model and unique Pyreguard? Come on GW. I light my little cinder of hope.

[@avalonangeloflight]

It's quite around here

[@nooneinparticular5256]

"YUS!"

[@melonboi927]

HERE HERE VULKAN LIVES

[@benyates8895]

I love Vulkan as a primarch but as a space wolf Long Live The King Of The Russ!

[@BaileyBecca]

I’d argue getting captured by curz is actually worse.

[@WarriorNoldor]

Their a great legion

[@ThePizzaGoblin]

Vulkan is kind of an asshole. "here my sons, once you find all my relics, I will return. However, I'm not gonna tell you where they are. Some of them might be beyond the light of the astronomican. Better hope none of them were on Cadia. Good luck nerds."

[@Overanalyse_This]

So did Vulkan (Vulcan?) pass his immortality gene on to any of hs sons?

[@louismaurer5884]

guilliman should use the tech he used for the primaris marines to fix the high rate of gene mutation in the salamanders

[@Brandelwyn]

They are more stable than most

[@NightCoin]

ah look it's the space bros

[@JordonVirtue]

Yay he's going to Krieg!

[@silvertemplar8061]

Did you know they are the only space marine chapter featured on heroes wiki?

[@sonofthewolfguardianofthef1214]

32:00 I’m a gunna guess kreig

[@absoluteManiac]

Vulkan, and Sanguinius

[@sonofthewolfguardianofthef1214]

Vulken wasn’t as human as much as he was lawful good paragon of virtue

[@willchapman4032]

Yeaaaaaaaaah

[@captainsatire9628]

Didn't the salamanders have yellow and black armour at one point? Or is that only in TTS?

[@TacticaImperialis]

TophatPenguins they might have - it's not stated anywhere what their colour scheme pre-Vulkan was I just made a guess based on what I learned

[@da_gonozal6754]

TophatPenguins from what I remember, that paint scheme was "old fluff", and then later adapted to represent the camo scheme they used during the raid on terra before the great crusade.

[@waragainstmyself1159]

Really love your channel! What is your personal opinion of Vulcan if I might ask? Do you like how his legion is kinda humanists? I love the Salamanders.

[@McMorganTheMerc]

Do you mean no other Salamander stories in 30k? I was gonna say, what about Armageddon and Tu'shan being the ultimate badass

[@TacticaImperialis]

I do mean in 30k - the series was about the Legion and it's Heresy-era history, even if the modern era is sometimes mentioned in passing at times.

[@Mondy667]

Do a Perpetual Video

[@spudroc303]

were the pyroclast really a terminator force? as the forgeworld models are in power armor. Also Skatar'var didn't die on Traoris, he died on Isstvan V ( source black library noval Vulkan lives)

[@TacticaImperialis]

spudroc303 yeah I may have that wrong, maybe conflicting sources? If I've messed up then I apologise

[@brokenserenity01]

firedrakes were the terminators and pyroclasts the power armoured ones, at least from the miniature lines that is...similar named units so easy mistake to make.

[@MWAY3000]

W8 what i dont get it there is an ongoing event like real time events of when shits are about to happen? Is there like a book series i have to follow or what? Sorry i'm just like new to this

[@TacticaImperialis]

There is no set series; I drew my information from all sorts of sources and books. As for what I'm doing and the running order of the videos, that's just me playing a character and contextualising my upload schedule - nothing to worry about!

[@IDyce88]

i bow mt head to Vulkan...one of my favourite black dudes of all time. could the reason the emperor kept them secret be because he knew about Vulkan being more or less immortal?

[@Pugiron]

STOMP STOMP

[@bernardrednix756]

my favorite space marine legion,BTW are you going to do imperial guard regiments?

[@TacticaImperialis]

I'll probably cover a couple of them as time goes by, I've already done Krieg. Did you have one especially in mind?

[@bernardrednix756]

mordian iron guard?

[@jaypea30]

*BOOOOOOOOOOOP*

[@adio.5189]

Great rundown. Virtually all other videos I've seen on the Salamanders make glaring mistakes about their lore and use terrible artwork. Neither was done in this video. Again, good work!. Where can I find the pictures at 10:38 and 7:20 to download?

[@TacticaImperialis]

All the artwork that I could reference is linked in the description - hopefully the short descriptions I left were enough to help you navigate! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@adio.5189]

Outstanding! I didn't think it would have been so I didn't even look.

[@helios0074]

Thinking the Death Guard are next?

[@TacticaImperialis]

Your reasoning, just out of curiosity? Barbarus was never nuked after all and that was my main hint

[@helios0074]

Hmm, I was thinking about the last six Legions to go - Dark Angels, Imperial Fists, Space Wolves, Thousand Sons, Alpha Legion and Death Guard, right? I must be forgetting something, I didn't think any of those planets were nuked until the Heresy/post-heresy. Using the description fatalistic just screams Death Guard at me.

[@x-1584]

What I like about the vast WH40K legions is that each legion can customize there battalions colors & design symbols to the basic 40K space marine tech armour that do make each legion unit very distinctive amongst the vast legions there, just like the mid evil earth era Roman Legion times, but this time in the 40K universe there utilizing hi pwr'd bolter/laze cannon KILLER HI TECH weaponry that's thrown in with there pwr swords, pwr clubs, huge pwr meat cleavers, pwr hammers & shields, & Damm there Hella brutal there, he'll no sissys allowed in the 40K in any warrior class of any stripe.

[@richardb4907]

Finish with the black legion?

[@TacticaImperialis]

Already done them - we did the Sons of Horus/Luna Wolves a while ago

[@richardb4907]

I have watched them all I must have forgotten. They have all been good though

[@TacticaImperialis]

Glad you've enjoyed it - I can understand why you may have thought they weren't done due to the name change

[@richardb4907]

Tactica Imperialis re watch it last night. I have just read the first 3 hersey books good stories but a few plot holes I thought

[@richardb4907]

I take it all back about aos as well I'm going to give it a go generals handbook and points now makes it more appealing

[@Lucivius27]

Is John really that strong to take out a Primarch?

[@OmniGSage]

Not somuch the man, but the weapon he had.

[@tshaeness7410]

It seems the emperors custodian's hatred of your race has affected you, for. Some. REASON.

[@TRVEKVLTGLOOMER]

Vulkan is kind of a bro tho

[@Tanner151]

I like canon Salamanders, but I love Heresies/timeline’s where Vulkan and the Salamanders are traitors.

[@theeternalchronicler3072]

Dissapointing.

[@TacticaImperialis]

In what way?

[@theeternalchronicler3072]

Not much. Most of the knowledge I already knew. You didn't touch apon the conquest 1-5-4-4 one of the most notable conquest of my chapter. You didn't explore the kinship Vulkan had with Ferrus Manus. On istvaan 5 my forbearers primarily fought the Death guard and Iron Warriors. Captain Xa'ven a semi notable Salamander who helped discovered a map of the traitor fleets and some attack plans. To be honest some of my complaints can be classified as nitpicking but you didn't make a bad vid on your part your quality was as per usual good. I just think I knew to much of my chapter to fully enjoy the vid. Unlike some of the other legion broadcast you've done.

[@TacticaImperialis]

The Eternal Chronicler I admit, 1-5-4-4 is something I wish I'd covered, but this was already the longest Legion video pretty much. I'm glad the video met my usual standard, but I'm sorry you didn't learn much (even if you knew a lot already and consider it nitpicking, that's no excuse for me).
