The '''Salamander Scout Vehicle''' is the primary reconnaissance vehicle of the [[Imperial Guard]] Armored Battle Group [[Imperial Guard Regiment|Regiments]]. Though no match for a tank, it is fast and capable of leaving any dangerous situation quickly and, unlike the [[Scout Sentinel|Sentinel scout,]] capable of protracted engagements with the light vehicles of enemy scout units.

Salamander Scout Vehicle usually work in pairs for mutual protection, taking turns as one vehicle moves forward under the cover of the other, since they are most likely to be ambushed or encounter a strong enemy position. The open top and lack of turret make the choice of sending this vehicle into potential ambushes questionable at best, but efficiency and practicality have never really been a big consideration for the Administratum.

For major offensives when there are insufficient numbers of Salamander Scouts it is common to mix them with [[Armoured Fist Squad|Armoured Fist Squads]] temporarily detached from their parent platoon or company. While an offensive unit by nature, Salamander Scouts like their Command cousins are also used for rear area policing and security duties, such as patrolling supply routes or guarding headquarters units, when operating on the defensive.

It packs an [[autocannon]] instead of a heavy flamer, for slightly better anti-armor performance, but is otherwise not any more resilient than the command variant.
