Try replacing the second flamestorm aggressor unit with a 6 man eradicator unit and apothecary biologis. Its a ton of fun and move the flip 6s icon to the bilogis and take the ignore modifiers on the captain for the flame aggressors.
I wanted to take the ignore modifiers on the gravis captain but its not available for Gravis only Tacticus. He has 20 points left and that is great enhancement which is only 10 points but they only thing he could put it on is his librarian leading the infiltrators but he might as well, at least it would be good for the libs psychic attacks if anyone gets close. I use it on a librarian with 5 man hellblaster squad.
Mainly because most of my army has twin linked stuff, so getting the rerolls of 1s is not something that I really need. The Erads reroll everything against their ideal target (which my list was lacking, so generally they are shooting at monster or vehicles), the aggressors have twin linked on shooting and combat, and vulkan picks a target for the land raider(s) to become twin linked against. I did have the lieutenant in the list pre dataslate, but after several games I just found that I didn't really need him.
I think it's great to see more competitive Salamanders content, so keep it up. As already mentioned below, Vulkan is the only model without the tacticus keyword (so sad) thus cannot go into impulsors. Also Forged in battle flips A HIT or a save to a 6. Still good, but your gravis captain cannot use that to get an additional dev wound. Looking forward to your next Salamanders video.
Ahh, you're right, he does not have the tacticus keyword. I could have sworn this was addressed... but I cannot find it anywhere. Its all good though, they never do anything useful anyway, and now ill just run a unit of 10 since its an 80 pt swap. Thanks!
Sorry to be the one to tell you this but Vulkan He'stan can't go in implusors. "This model has a capacity of 6 tacticus or phobos infantry models" note how it says models not unit Vulkan does have the tacticus keyword and while the unit may have the keyword implusors rules care about individual models. Sorry
@@losmanzani6849I doubt they'll fix it I'm assuming this is Vulkan He'stans last edition being the only Epic hero that didn't receive a modern keyword with the codex release (tacticus, gravis, phobos or terminator) and while the rhino and razorback were both fixed with the codex release the implusors didn't get the reverse version of the same ruling.
It looks super fun, I barely got into the hobby and haven't finished an army or painting since I wanted to start off small with a squadron or "Kill Team" of guys. So far I have two Primaris Infernus guys, one Phobos Librarian and 5 Terminator guys that are decked out in missle launchers, power fist, gatling guns and chain fist thing. I was thinking of maybe adding two dreadnoughts to complete a group of 10.
Really like to hear when people talk through their army like this it’s really informative!
I have tons more on the way! :D
How are those salamanders? Them boys look like blueberry pie ultramarines

Hello! I was going to build a similar army and wanted to check why you went with the Callidus assassin over a Lieutenant with combi weapon

Hopefully they will fix this up like they did with the Rhino at some point where it doesn't f*ck things up when you take a character like that.

They looks like they burn everything in their way and so tough to handle… cover the whole field with fire~~
