Usually I like your videos a lot, but as a Salamanders player I have to say that this list wouldn't have worked really well even before the big point change, at least not in the competitive area. Salamanders have to get close, and aggrressors are the best thing that can happen to you next to the blade guard. Add to that the Contemptors with Vulkite Culverins and you're good to go. And let's not forget ... Bray'arth Ashmantle, the character Dreadnought from Forgeworld who is only made out of flamers! Anyway, keep up the good work!

Sorry to hear you didn't like the video. Generally, the thematic list build series isn't about featuring units that are the most competitive viable.

That being said, I appreciate your comment all the same 😊

Just looking at the insane codex creep and auto-win dark eldar shit out now Salamanders should not only keep that reroll to hit but also get one armor save reroll per unit as well. And no, its NOT worth buying codexes OR minis even, codexes can be downloaded for free and minis come recast for peanut money. I learned that the last time I bought a codex which was the grey knights one and then was stuck for 5 or so years with an utter pile of unplayable dung as everything else codex-creeped over the GKs.

NP. Eradicators rules are very good. From a tournament pov, they invalidate many other options. Now this is all here-say, but seeing as how Eradicators are a new product which no one owns, it gives off the impression that GW is pushing this product with these rules for the tournament minded players - similar to how aggressors were previously. I rate Salamanders very highly, likely among the best of the space marine chapters. In part because eradicators with them are even more potent then they already are, but also because Salamanders have good mechanics that are conducive to 9th editions mission structure. Defensive perks to hold the mission, tools to excel in melee, counter charge, etc.
