The first three are carried into battle by the [[Forgefather]]: the Spear of Vulkan (a master crafted relic flaming spear that can burn through ceramite or adamantium), Kesare's Mantle (a cloak of adamantium and scales that offers the same protection as a storm shield), the Gauntlet of the Forge (a bitchin glove that can spew fire better than a heavy flamer. Not to mention having a digital gun like those of the [[Jokaero]] in each finger). The last two stay at home: the Eye of Vulcan, an almost comically large laser defense array that can one shot a battle barge, and the Forge Ship, Chalice of Fire, whose industrial output can supply the Salamander's entire chapter(!) and then some.

The Salamanders escaped with the relics, but the Shattered Legion warband who saved them from the Traitors also wanted to use the relics to attempt assassinating Horus, which was contrary to Vulkan's wish.

			* 14:00: Sponge bath the elderly: unlike that OTHER chapter "[[Marines Malevolent\|Marines Malevolent - 2d4chan]]" who go into retirement homes to pick fights with the elderly, the salamanders go into homes and give sponge baths to the elderly, help them move heavy boxes and have their chapter Techmarines help them set up tivo, overall having a chapter of 9 feet tall flamethrower wielding eldar barbecuing giants, is actually quite helpful, the fact that they have now crossed the Rubicon Primaris means they can use their awesome powers to do even 'more' stuff to help the elderly and the community.

	* 15:00: Battle practice: The Salamanders descend to the practice cages. Cages have usually been repaired from all the burn damage from the previous day by that point. Any Tyranids who happen to be a part of this battle practice will usually be part of the next meal.		* 15:00: Battle practice: The Salamanders descend to the practice cages.

			* 16:00: beat up the marines malevolent hour: the salamanders will spend the next hour or so hunting down and beating the ever loving tar out of these yellow power armored scammers, any battle brother that beats up captian vinyar will earn a 2 rank promiton and the personal approval of chapter master Tu'shan
			* 17:00: current crusade against tau empire: the salamanders, have for some inexplicable reason, declared war on the tau empire, and the chapters entire war has been aimed at fighting the Kroot, nobody knows why they are obsessed with fighting 6 foot tall giant chicken men but it might have something to do with the massive mechanicus issued deep frier recently installed on Vulkan's Might.

	* 18:00: Hammer time: The Salamanders take to the maintenance of their wargear while also forging new weapons and armor. The Adeptus Mechanicus often drools, wishing they could be anywhere near as good.		* 18:00: Hammer time: The Salamanders take to the maintenance of their wargear while also forging new weapons and armor.

			* 19:00: Literary sessions with brother La forge: every day tech marine La forge, of the third company helps schola aged children to read, in his 9 foot tall frame with his big bionic eyes, he sits children on his massive primaris lap and reads from approved materials, these include but are not limited too how to train your dragon, an ancient terran survivalist manual, A game of thrones by George R.R Martin, with special emphasis on why dragons are so cool, the Tome of fire by Primarch Vulkan, Meditations of Marcus Auralius and Land raider Prometheus technical manual, now in pop up form. other battle brothers sometimes read such as, how to cook with prometheum, a childrens primer by battle brother Foreman of the 5th company. and "Dont point that flamer at the fuel tank brother!" by Burnie, Wisernow! these reading sessions are well received and greatly appreciated by the children of nocturne.

	* 20:00: "Midday" meal: A light meal prepared by the chapter serfs is consumed. Carolina Reaper peppers are usually a component of the meal. Ghost peppers are employed for occasions when the Salamanders have esteemed guests from outside the chapter. If for any reason, a battle brother suffers indigestion, the Apothecary will administer the ancient Terran compound "Peptobismol" to remedy it.		* 20:00: "Midday" meal: A light meal prepared by the chapter serfs is consumed.

	According to the Salamander's legends, [[Vulkan]] left <s>legendary loot</s> nine relics scattered across the galaxy as a sort of scavenger hunt for his sons. If you believe the stories, when the Salamanders find all nine horcruxes, their Primarch will return to lead them into a glorious future, the enemies of Mankind will be slain, the children of Nocturne will find flamers and meltas under their pillows, the Imperium will return to glory, blah blah, we've all heard the "Primarch Returns to Kick Ass" story. Of the nine relics, the Salamanders have found five. The first three are carried into battle by the Forgefather: the Spear of Vulkan (a master crafted relic flaming spear that can burn through ceramite or adamantium), Kesare's Mantle (a cloak of adamantium and scales that offers the same protection as a storm shield), the Gauntlet of the Forge (a bitchin glove that can spew fire better than a heavy flamer. Not to mention having a digital gun like those of the [[Jokaero]] in each finger). The last two stay at home: the Eye of Vulcan, an almost comically large laser defense array that can one shot a battle barge, and the Forge Ship, Chalice of Fire, whose industrial output can supply the Salamander's entire chapter(!) and then some. The remaining four relics are only named, not described, and they are: the Engine of Woes; the Obsidian Chariot; the Unbound Flame (Which some believe to be Vulkan himself - that was the codename the Salamanders called him during the Great Crusade); and the Song of Entropy.

	The XVIIIth legion were one of three legions, the others being the [[Space Wolves \| VIth]] and the [[Alpha Legion \| XXth]], that were established separate from the other legions. The reason they were kept in separation is currently unknown, and the mystery behind the separation led to the distrust of each one. It's implied that all three were supposed to specialize in something. However, while the Space Wolves went on to function as the Internal Affairs legion of the Astartes, and the Alpha Legion its Black Ops, the Salamanders never really acquired any particular niche. Unless it was that they were deliberately designed to be the [[This Guy\|Bros]] of the Astartes, in which case they function spectacularly.

Unless it was that they were deliberately designed to be the [[This Guy\|Bros]] of the Astartes, in which case they function spectacularly.

	Whatever the cause of separation, the first publicly known deployment of the XVIIIth was near the end of the Unification Wars to destroy the Tempest Galleries of the Ethnarchy. As a foreshadowing of things to come, the XVIIIth legion's force of 20000 was reduced to 1000, but they still achieved a victory against seemingly impossible odds. This earned them much glory and renown amongst their cousins, but their severely depleted numbers saw them sit out most of the Solar Reclamation.

This earned them much glory and renown amongst their cousins, but their severely depleted numbers saw them sit out most of the Solar Reclamation.
	As their heavy losses delayed their deployment to the Great Crusade, they didn't get their own expeditionary fleet. Instead, they were deployed in small groups to reinforce different expeditions and battle groups. They were especially noted for dealing with emergencies behind the Imperial borders, like the sudden appearance of space hulks, or eldar raiders. They were also left in area thought compliant to function as a rearguard in case of recidivism. The sudden nature of these emergencies meant that the XVIIIth were often the only marines available, so they had to cooperate closely with humans, and typically bore the brunt of whatever engagement they were embroiled in.

	The XVIIIth would develop a weird reputation. On one hand, they were saviors. On another hand, if a bunch of the XVIIIth were coming, it probably meant things were seriously going to shit. Eventually, Imperial observers began to notice that the marines of the legion seemed to have an obsession with facing impossible odds. They would fight on even when it seemed more reasonable to fall back, and on more than one incident, their stubborness earned criticism. The XVIIIth's suicidal tendencies, coupled with their high battlefield losses, led some Imperials, particularly the Ultramarines, to start wondering if the XVIII was simply going to wipe itself out.

	Fortunately, Vulkan was found, and after rescuing his Terran sons from what would have been a devastating ork attack, would temper his sons, so they would become more reasonable and less suicidal. Rather like Sanguinius, he introduced cultural and strategic reforms into the Salamanders which saw them keep their humanitarian tendencies, but become a far more effective fighting force. Gone were the suicidal last stands and stubborn rearguard actions. From Vulkan's introduction on, they would fight more intelligently and more flexibly, but would still never leave a civilian or brother behind.

The Chapter organization was tweaked ''slightly'' (or given more detail, depending on who you ask) with the coming of 8th Edition. Each Company now patterns itself after the seven warrior Houses of the original Salamanders Legion, which were in turn influenced by the great settlements of Nocturne.

	The First Company (or Great House now) is still composed of the Chapter Veterans and led by their Chapter Master, while the seventh is still primarily composed of neophytes, but the second to sixth Great Houses are now all considered "battle" or "line" companies, each featuring their own complement of battleline and fire support squads. Only the second to fourth Great Houses have close-support squads though. The total manpower of each Great House is no longer mentioned, but one can assume that if totaled together, the number of Marines would still approximate the size of a "codex" chapter (meaning 1000 marines plus auxiliaries and officers). This means the Salamanders accidentally applied common sense and didn't get executed for it. Because they now don't have reserves sitting oh say a few months or years away while only half their Chapter is doing anything in the galaxy. ~~And yes, that means that by and large, only half of the Space Marines in the galaxy are actually deployed on missions while the rest do nothing but wait for someone to die in a battle company.~~ Except squads from the reserve companies are often seconded out as needed and attached to other strike forces for other conflicts.

	Or maybe the Salamanders and Vulkan are so trusted that they’ve been allowed to rebuild as a legion and operate as such with tens or hundreds of thousands of Space Marines but are so noble and beloved that even the High Lords of Terra can’t bring themselves to be bothered by it. Their exemption to splitting into Chapters never ended, after all. Heck, maybe they don’t even solely recruit from Nocturne as all legions are allowed to recruit from Terra but the Imperial Fists are the only Chapter that does so. Chapter, but the Salamanders are still a legion as they never separated and surely having a bunch of Terran Marines (who usually remained loyal even in the Traitor Legions) among them would ease the politicians’ concerns.

	Unfortunately, because [[Nick Kyme]] won't let anyone else touch them, and hasn't done anything further with them himself, the 40k fluff of the Salamanders has effectively been stuck in limbo for several years now. Outside of the Salamanders books (which, judging from recent codices, may not even be fully canon anymore), we know next to ''nothing'' of what exactly the Salamanders have been up to in the 41st Millennium, and they haven't been involved with ''any'' recent fluff events or campaigns. The one chapter that we'd ''really'' like to see fighting the good fight and keeping hope alive during the 13 Black Crusade is the one that we hear ''nothing'' from while the galaxy goes to hell.

	The Salamanders themselves are perhaps the most bro-tier of all Space Marine chapters, the [[Lamenters]], [[Space Wolves]], [[Ultramarines]], and [[Celestial Lions]] coming in behind them in that order. Unlike most other chapters, Salamanders maintain close ties with their original families, giving them a very human connection with the non-augmented people they are charged with protecting. Strong ties as in often living with their families like normal, real life Marines would when off-duty. They regularly act in thankless rearguard or civilian defense actions, as seen on [[Armageddon]], and rather than spend their free time in their super-awesome orbital fortress monastery, they hang out on the planet's surface chilling with the locals, many actually living 'normal' lives among the people as chieftains, teachers, guardians (basically following in the footsteps of their Primarch), or simply wandering the planet as hermits when not on active combat duty.

	In terms of tactics, the Salamanders are one of the simpler chapters: "Wait for it...", "Burn that shit", and "Never say die" are about the sum of their tactics. The number of heat-based weapons they can field is truly alarming, as is a [[Vulkan He'stan\|certain special character]] of theirs who can make them ''all'' twin-linked, and another that makes all Melta tagged guns mastercrafted. The fact that each man repairs and maintains his own armor ensures that their chapter Artificers can be free to make truly awesome stuff. They field almost exclusively treaded vehicles, as the gravitic antics of Nocturne's moon Prometheus (really more of a planet) tend to cause anti-grav plating to freak the fuck out.

	The First Company (or Great House now) is still composed of the Chapter Veterans and led by their Chapter Master, while the seventh is still primarily composed of neophytes, but the second to sixth Great Houses are now all considered "battle" or "line" companies, each featuring their own complement of battleline and fire support squads. Only the second to fourth Great Houses have close-support squads though. The total manpower of each Great House is no longer mentioned, but one can assume that if totaled together, the number of Marines would still approximate the size of a "codex" chapter (meaning 1000 marines plus auxiliaries and officers). This means the Salamanders accidentally applied common sense and didn't get executed for it. Because they now don't have reserves sitting oh say a few months or years away while only half their Chapter is doing anything in the galaxy. ~~And yes, that means that by and large, only half of the Space Marines in the galaxy are actually deployed on missions while the rest do nothing but wait for someone to die in a battle company.~~ Except squads from the reserve companies are often seconded out as needed and attached to other strike forces for other conflicts.
