Roster of Choice - 1500pts

Salamanders Rapid Strike Force!

Below is a Roster I have been using lately, and have worked out very well.
I am still undecided what is better on the captain, +2 Armor or +3 invul save. It does lack long range vehicle suppression, but I have enough fast meltas to close the lines fast enough. My old force was no bikers, with 2 tac squads and a sternguard unit with Liberian, which was hard to close the lines at times

Roster of Choice - 1107 pts

Salamander Forward Recon Force!


I will be participating in a local tradition called Golden Marine, otherwise known as the gentle mans tournament. The tournament requirements are 1 HQ + 1 troop, painted army, 1107 pts, and a bag of fun!

I designed the following list to be friendly, fun to play against, fun to play and brings all the tools to the party!. I also did not want to be the only one removing models from the table! I avoided +2 armor saves, invul saves, special characters, and AV14 which some armies have problems dealing with.

Below is a few pictures of a WiP Whirlwind. Light weathering has been added to the missile packs where soot would accumulate from repeated firing. I will also be adding some light weathering along the tracks, and running gear which will be cement dust, to match the cities of death theme.
