===XVIII Legion: [[Salamanders]]===

* Warlords : Artellus Numeon, Cassian Vaughn, Nemetor, Vulkan.
 
Vulkan's Pyromaniac Pillar-Men, focused on fire (several of their troops have abilities that damage enemies), "Survivor" (which allows it to survive and heal a set amount of health when it has its health reduced to 0 by damage), and Sacrifice (when they are reduced to 0 health while attacking an enemy, an effect is triggered, hopefully activating "Survivor" and bringing the unit back where they can potentially activate their Sacrifice ability again). They are a slow faction and lack fast or flank units and only have 2 direct damage tactics, both of which only do 2 damage per target. You'll want to put as many troops with Survivor on the board as possible, along with balancing keeping your troops alive with the advantages that Sacrifice will give you (which ties in nicely with the fluff of Salamanders being enduring and self-sacrificing at the same time). Have greatly benefitted from the readjusted Sacrifice mechanic. The LTGB gave them a lot of synergy with Imperial Army troops, which is both useful with the new Solar Auxilla card type and a nice way of showing the fluffy bro-tier Salamanders we're used to.
