Editing Warhammer 40,000 8th edition (section)

=====[[Salamanders]]=====
*A lesser known gene-seed quirk of the Salamanders grants them a limited ability to see infrared emissions. This "fire-sight" can be used alongside specialized materials to produce decorations and tactical markings that only the Salamanders can see. 
*The Salamanders deploy at full Chapter strength to fight against the invasion of the Largos System by the [[Bloodthirster]] Khaz'khul. Their new [[Aggressor]] squads (equipped with flamers, of course) prove to be the key to victory. The Salamanders soon become well-known for their effective use of Aggressors.
*The Salamanders fight and defeat the forces of the Death Guard and the Deamon Prince the Eater of Lives in the Ybrannis System, preventing millions of infected foodstuffs from being distributed across the Imperium.
*On the [[hive world]] of Parshamesh, the Salamanders prove vital in rallying the Parshamesh PDF to drive out invading Dark Eldar raiding parties.
*After the Genestealer Cult of the Innerwyrm infects the agri-world of Slathergraft, Captain Agatone leads a strike force from the 3rd company to the planet, only to find it deserted. Descending underground, the strike force finds the world's populace enslaved by parasitism, and cull of the entire underground of every living thing and Genestealer. Though successful, only Agatone and a quarter of the strike force survive to return to the surface.
*The Salamanders team up with Sisters from the Order of Our Martyred Lady to defeat a mixed warband of Iron Warriors and Death Guard marines on the word of Shen'tzi Vo. Luring the warband into a killzone, the Salamanders and Sisters launch nuclear munitions and promethium, burning heretic and loyalist alike. Though many loyalists survive, the warband is not so fortunate and are eventually driven off world.
*While fighting a rebellion alongside the Death Korps of Krieg and Voltern Cuirassiers on Hespher II, captain Shoen'lo clashes with the Death Korps over how to deal with the rebels. Shoen'lo desired repatriation and punishment for the rebels that repented, while the Death Korps wanted to kill 'em all and let the Emperor sort them out. Things came to a head when the Death Korps shelled a hab-complex while the Salamanders were undergoing a search and capture operation. Though the Salamanders were unscathed, Shoen'lo marched up to the Death Korps' command [[Leviathan]] to confront their leadership. After leaving, onlookers bore sight to something they never would have imagined to see: genuine terror among the Krieg officers. The Death Korps would go on to fight exactly as the Salamanders wanted, and the two forces parted on frosty terms.
* A group of Salamanders are stranded on the world of Warsylask thanks to the Great Rift. Suddenly, a cult of Nurgle arises and spreads a contagion that leaves only the planet's holy sites free of taint. The Salamanders leave the safety of the holy sites to take the fight to the cultists. By the time the Great Rift and plagues recede and the Imperial Guard and Arbites are able to mobilize, the cultists are a spent and broken force. unfortunately, none of the Salamanders survived the plagues, and the Planetary Governor raises the Cathedrum of the Nine Heroes on the sight of the Salamanders final victory to honor their sacrifice.
*While it is stated that the Salamanders have never been confirmed to have any successor chapters, it is also suggested that some chapters such as the Black Dragons and the Storm Giants may have been descended from them. 
*A couple of tweaks have been made to the circumstances behind [[Vulkan|Vulkan's]] disappearance in order to reconcile the old fluff with the revelations made in the [[Horus Heresy]] and War of the Beast novels; the new story is that according to the Salamanders Vulkan led them for about a millennium after the Horus Heresy (i.e. right around the time the War of the Beast happened), at the end of which he bequeathed them the Tome of Fire and left for a special mission of some kind.
*The Chapter's persistently low numbers have been retconned; they now keep 7 companies as a homage to the 7 warrior-houses of their old Legion; while each one is larger than a Codex-compliant Company, their Scout company is said to be less than half the size it would be in other chapters due to Nocturne's small population and an especially meticulous selection process.
*During the [[Age of Apostasy]], [[Goge Vandire|Goge Vandire's]] right-hand man Arch-Cardinal Perigno declared the Promethean Cult heretical. Following his decree, three orders of the Sisters of Battle attack five of the Chapter's companies on the world of New Folly alongside numerous fanatics. The Salamanders fought only in self-defense, and when news of Perigno's execution by the Inquisition arrived the Ecclesiarchal forces disbanded.
*In spite of fears that Vulkan's relics have been rendered impossible to recover by the Great Rift, Vulkan He'Stan has not lost hope. In fact, he has learned that a clue to the location of the Unbound Flame may be hidden on an obscure planet called Zero.
