@@SalemtheAmateur was wondering if you had an updated list as I'm just starting and trynna figure out some fun stuff before i can get knowledgeable and develop my own armies (starting with a themed army seems cool)
@@Redcoat98 Sure! Now fingers crossed not a lot of pints change for us in the coming update but lately I've been having fun with this: Every list I make basically retains the -Land Raider, -Aggressor Captain -6man aggressors -2x Repulsor Executioners -2x eradicators -5man infiltrators But I've lately fit in and been having a blast with -10man assault intercessors with jump packs lead by a jump chaplain -10man vanguard veterans with hand flamers lead by a jump captain - and split my 10 man infernus squad into 2 5 mans for scoring
I'm new to 40k and the Salamanders, and this list sounds amazing, and I reckon it may be something I'll try to build towards! I'm surprised to not see either Vulkan He'stan and Adrax Agatone in your list since it seems so many people run both, but this does seem solid nonetheless. Definitely a subscribe from me! Vulkan lives!
Well done on the win, very original list! Hadn't even considered jump pack vets until now. Also many lists are very hung up on 6xeradicators+biologis at the minute. Interesting approach splitting the threat with a 2x3 loadout!

Inceptors are a solid choice in my opinion, as to outperforming, its hard to say because the two units have VERY different roles on my battlefield. Inceptors are great for backline or deepstrike centric secondaries while vanguard are a block great for stealing midfield objectives and pouncing on weak flank opponents
The gravis captain is a must have, but i think he dont get S 8 on his blade. Because it is a "extra attacks" and they cannot be modified by other rules.
Forged in battle does not work with lethal hits, sustained hits or devestating wounds (if it could have changed a wound roll to a 6). As the rules state that it has to be an unmodified roll, and changing a roll in a modification.
So I believe this is actually incorrect. Forged in battle specifically changes the roll, true, but it is not a modifier in the sense of a +1 or -1. The actual roll itself just becomes a pure "unmodified" 6 if you will. That being said, I still just recommend using it for saves so it doesn't matter much
@@SalemtheAmateur MODIFIERS Modifiers are rules that change a numerical value from one value to another. This can include the result of a dice roll, the characteristics of a model, and more. This section details how to apply modifiers in your games. In all cases: 1. All modifiers are cumulative. 2. If a rule instructs you to change or replace one characteristic with a specified value, change the relevant characteristic to the new value before applying any modifiers that apply from other rules (if any) to the new value. 3. You must then apply division modifiers before applying multiplication modifiers, before applying addition and then subtraction modifiers. 4. Round any fractions up after applying all modifiers.
Thanks! Waaagh flesh base coat, warpstone glow layer, and moot green highlight is a great start but if you want speed, I highly recommend using the army painter Green skin rattle can and doing some spot shading. Saves a ton of time on things like vehicles and looks great when done right
@@stefanoguarnaccia4537 1: What kind of centurions? 2: If you want a narrative or casual list, terminators are very apt for salamanders and very fun painting models. Competitively or semi-competitive however I find terminators to not be worth their points cost at the moment. I've used and had fun with some TH/SS terminators but they end up just being kind of resilient objective holders for near 200 pts. Heavy Intercessors can fill a similar role with arguably better shooting for less points AND being battleline, just without the ability to deepstrike or an invuls. It sucks because, as a veteran player I LOVE terminators and own plenty. I have a video coming out after NOVA for 1000 pts but for the time being, here's my current one. Techmarine 3 eradicators 3 eradicators Gladiator Valiant 10 infernus Marines Repulsor executioner 5 scouts Stormspeeder Hammerstrike (was a thunderstrike before scouts went up in points)
What do you think about putting Inferno pistols on some or all of the Vanguard Vets for more damage, Strength and AP? With Vulkan (I know you prefer not to run Named characters), you would get rerolls on wounds, despite not getting Dev wounds.
Very fun idea, I think my main qualm with it however is that inferno pistols are just such a short range that to be effective with them you basically HAVE to advance even with the speed on vanguard vets which means you aren't charging and for 210 points (295 with character) that's a steep investment for something that may actually end up hindering the versatility of the unit as a whole
I think it's nice but a heavy investment into. Having a LT with combi weapon for example allows you to spread the no go zone more and also have an active ability going on or some flexibility with another unit to deploy for, say, sites of power matches
Good Question. I have a personal rule I've followed as a tradition since 4th edition to avoid using named characters in my lists. Makes the army feel more "mine"
@@SalemtheAmateur I can understand that. I'm coming back into the hobby myself after a 20-year hiatus. I've always wanted to do a Salamander Army, so that is what I'm doing. But to the point, I have discovered both Adrax and Vulkan have great OBJ Point deniability.
I'm confused this isn't even a salamander's list. You could just play ultra Marines with the same detachment, right? I didn't see any of the salamander's characters in it unless i missed it.

Also off to amazon to grab a copy of your book. 🎉
Thank you so much! Would love to hear what you think 🙏

Could you record a game on how you play this army? Would be really great.
The gravis captain is a must have, but i think he dont get S 8 on his blade. Because it is a "extra attacks" and they cannot be modified by other rules.
Only the number of attacks can’t be modified
Holy crap, this detachment is my spirit animal.

Yeah, forged in battle is really just a fancy +1 to hit because it doesn't state that it is an unmodified 6
