Nocturne is a volcanic death world filled with all manner of hazards and treacherous wildlife, a large singular satellite moon, Prometheus, orbits the massive cracked and blasted planet. It is here that Vulkan, the Lord of Drakes, landed as a child. Rising from boy to man in less than half a decade, the onyx skinned child of Nocturne became the Primarch of the 18th Legion of the Imperium: The Salamanders.
In today's video we go into the lore behind Vulkan, what part he played in the Horus Heresy, the Istvaan V Dropsite Massacre, and the years after the Heresy. We'll talk about him being a perpetual as well as his legacy in his Tome of Fire he leaves to his chapter to rediscover their lost primarch.
Will Vulkan be the next Primarch to return to Warhammer 40,000? Time will tell, but one thing is for certain: Vulkan lives! - เกม
The Ultramarines shall be the Imperium's Shield. The Wolves shall be the Emperor's Executioners. The Salamanders will be humanity's heroes.
would that make the Imperial Fists, the Armour of the Imperium?
@@zachsmith1676 The Imperial Fists will be border's bulwark.
@@blaster23456 I think the fists are more fitting as the foundation of the Imperium being builders and all
@@whippingtoddlerthewanderer9588 its killers
Salamanders will be its Bros.
of all the Primarchs Vulcan has always been my favorites , and it's because in a world where there are no "good guys" Vulkan IS a Good person through and through , willing to sacrifice himself over and over just to protect a single person even if it's just some random hobo , not even entirely because it's a fellow human but because it's a living being who needs help
As someone just geting into the setting, THAT is the kind of character I want.
to an extent, Magnus is also a good guy, he never willingly went to the side of Chaos, He tried to warn Big E about the Truth of Horus' fate and got branded a Traitoris Extremis by the Emperor and the Sons of Russ were sent to "deal" with Magnus. As to whether Horus changed the orders from mere "arrest" to wiping out the Thousand Sons is uncertain as there were Custodes present during the Burning of Prospero and they only take orders from Big E himself.
In the way Vulkan protects the Human race, I say it this way as Primarchs and the Astartes are really "Post-Human", from threats to human life, Magnus is a "Good Guy" as he sought to protect the human race by educating them, in a sense, raise them from a primitive feuding people to a more highly intuitive people that understand what chaos and the warp is... A Scholar trying to teach a galaxy too blind to head his teachings.
(offtopic) just reading over the two previous posts I typed up, it would seem like I'd fit in perfectly amongst the 15th Legiones Astartes "Thousand Sons"
Vulkan is a Bro.
Primarch Vulkan. Blacksmith. General. Searching for a way to save the Imperium he loves. Then an accidental dose of WAAAGH radiation interacts with his unique body chemistry. And now, when Vulkan grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs. The creature is driven by rage and pursued by a holy Inquisitor. An accidental explosion took the lives of several psykers and supposedly, the Primarch's as well. The Inquisitor thinks the creature was responsible; deaths that Vulkan can't prove he or the creature didn't commit. So he must let the Imperium go on thinking that he to, is dead. Until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him...
THE INCREDIBLE VULK!!!
Genius!
I would watch the HELL out of this.
@Iron Hands Terminator he was bigger than Horus
Where is this from
@@jeffthemercenary so there’s this dope series on TH-cam called “if the emperor had a text to speech device” it’s a parody of warhammer and is honestly one of the funniest fan made parodies I’ve ever seen.
In the series, Vulkans spirit merged with waaaghhhh energy. He doesn’t act like the hulk, he just randomly talks like an ork and gives people spine shattering hugs.
I love the salamanders more than the ultra-smurfs. My favourite quote of the salamanders is "Vulkan's fire burns in my breast, with it I shall Smite my enemies"
And also they are like cuddly teddy bears past their imposing looks. And I am willing to bet that the Salamanders would make better parents.
Also I wished I gave Vulkan a BIG hug.
Salamanders are the Bros of the imperium,
He killed the Dark Eldar with hammers? You sure he didn’t just walk out and hugged them to death?
@Vulkan Primarch of the Salamanders hello my Lord.
@Vulkan Primarch of the Salamanders VULKAN LIVES!
STOMP STOMP!
Technically. Imagine a primarch hugging you. With hammers. To your face.
Vulkan, please stop unintentionally killing my sons. - Corax
@@HeleentheArcane EVERYONE IMPORTANT LIVES
STOMP STOMP
...I would like to pet this creature.

BOOOOOOOOOOOP
Do not boop that merry suicide bomber
Practically THE good guys of the Imperium, next to the Lamentors.
best primarch, best legion
Vulka nLives!
Hellz yeah
A small flame of kindness in this monstrous galaxy
Yes best Forge father
@Iron Hands Terminator Iron hands blame salamanders and raven guard for the loss of their primarch.
18:00
Mortarien: seven guards? Nice.
Manus: that is some excellent armor you have there make it yourself?
Vulken: *blush*
Lord of Drakes, respect lizard boi.
pet the lizard!
Don’t forget the Salamanders play majorly into Dark Eldar/Drukhari lore as well. They’re the chapter that breached Commoragh during Vect’s rise to supremacy.
I was gonna comment when the next primarch video on ur next video but o boi would ya look at that, VULKAN LIVES *STOMP STOMP*
dude everyone's been asking within the last week, so it was definitely time! :)
Should totally do Konrad Kurze next since it seems fitting
he's my favorite dude i fucking LOVE Kurze. that video might be so long because i know almost everything about him
Alec Adanglao :STOMP STOMP:
Wow dude, this be my favorite Primarch. a Paragon of persistency, perseverance and stubbornes, lol . thank you so much. I am learning more of 40k because of these vids!
absolutely dude! more than happy to pump out more 40k content and i plan to go more in-depth soon! :)
Hearing about all this salamander lore really makes me want to make an army of them from scratch
Seconded. Unfortunately, GW seems to enjoy juxtaposing the Salamanders' amazing lore by making them one of the weakest chapters edition after edition after edition.
If you're a lover of lore, though, I think it's worth it to have an army of them. I'd love to have the talent and resources to get my hands on some Salamanders and paint them in a way that does them justice.
Great video, but the Forgefather and the Chapter Master are separate posts in the Chapter. Tu'Shan is the current Chapter Master, he is well liked for punching a Marines Malevolent captain in the face.
hardcore messed that up, thank you so much for the correction!
What sociopath calls their chapter malevolent?
@@roaringlaughter3812 probably a chapter used by the iquisition to be assholes like minotaurs
FORGE FATHER SMASH!
He is one of my favorite primarchs and the principals of the 18th are honoreble.
did i do him justice!?
ItalianSpartacus Yes you did explained how he taught his Marines to keep their humanity same as Roberte Gullimen to his ultramarines.
The emperor wasn't exactly of "pale" skin, but... i guess when you're as black as charcoal everyone else is pale xD
right exactly hahah
Somebody else got all up into some of them test tubes.
well if you consider old night, Nocturnians forgot humanity's origins. so as far as they knew all humans had red eyes and onyx skin. so big E would have been a bizarre looking freak.
emps has that mediteranean tan
there was a candle next to his pod on Terra, I think this is what caused this!
Great work on the video, dude!
Vulkan has vied for a place in my heart as my favorite Primarch ever since the series of early(ish) Horus Heresy novels which featured the "jolly green giant" in greater detail than he'd really ever enjoyed; I love that Vulkan was shown to be such an exemplar of virtue, compassion, justice, strength & temperance -- everything that his brother Konrad Kurze will never be.
I'm quite certain, in fact, that I've deduced the (admittedly fairly obvious) reason for the Night Haunter's burning hatred for his onyx-skinned brother being tinged with such a pervasive desperation to prove that Vulkan's reputation as a paragon of valor, compassion & bravery to be nothing but a veneer which served to conceal a true nature no less vile than Kurze's own. Konrad simply couldn't endure the thought of how much looking at his kind-hearted brother was akin to looking at himself in the surface of a cracked, filth-encrusted mirror: in Vulkan's persistent greatness he saw his own failures & hypocrisies screaming back at him. As you rather observantly pointed out, I must say, it's all very "Grecian" in the way it evokes the tones of the classical Greek tragedies of antiquity (and I just can't get enough of that shit, man! 🤓).
So keep up the great work, brother! I'm definitely glad I stumbled across your channel while watching Indypride's Total War: Warhammer stuff. 🙂
dude so on point.. and i wish i had expanded more on that, but i got lost in telling the story of the lore hahah.
Thanks for watching man! so glad to have you aboard the channel :) i'll do some stuff with indy soon! we'll combine our two great nations!
The oldest I read was the Salamander who lived over 10,000 years seated in a crashed ship under a planet. But he was old and way past his time, the apothecary gives him the emperors peace and rescues his gene seed.
So that might be around the oldest a normal space marine can live.
Dante isnt nearly that old and he feels his old age creeping in him.
Custodes seem to be as immortal as the emperor tho. And for all we know every primarch also would never die of old age, but considering how Bobby G seems to have aged I would hazard that even primarchs would have an expiration date just maybe on the order of tens of thousands of years.
Vulkan should be truly immortal, I expect a return from him eventually!
Yes Custodes is immortal but they can die like normal Space Marine
I would agree even the Grey Knights who are also of the emperer's seed still appear to age, just very slowly.
VULKAN LIVES
can't decide if i like eye to eye, tooth to tooth or vulkan lives more as far as war cries go

Vulkan is my favorite Primarch. Thank you for not leaving him till near the end! I look forward to all your 40k vids, especially the Primarch ones. Did you ever read The Beast Arises series? Vulkan has his lore added to in those books. Please do an Istvaan vid. Also my vote is for Jaghatai Kahn to be next.
dude i did not! I have to look it up... did i do the lord of drakes justice!?
ItalianSpartacus Yeah man, love your vids. It's a real treat to listen to your take on the lore even though I am pretty well versed in it myself. Vulkan has been hinted at and popping up more and more lately which makes me think GW will do something with him soon.
BOOP THE SNOOT
BEWWWP!
Jermaine Suleman no booping
Do not boop that merry suicide bomber.
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
BUT B O O P...
I could just imagine the Emperor doing every challenge he was given, with the same face as he gave to Horus slaying Sanguinius, Aka refer to the picture
Vulkan meets dark Eldar : You are not friends!
Mount death fire they really are straight to the point
no room for hyperbole in warhammer 40,000!!
So I really was more of a "Arch Warhammer" Guy . Your channel was interesting, but more a substitute, for when i waited on more of his' uploads.
Now you officially got me! Good man, love it!
My Soul belongs to you now, mightyly entertaining weaver of words!
Vulcan Lives !!!!! Absolutely the best Primarch and best legion ever !!!!
Awesome content!! I’ve been reading the Horus Heresy book series and have done a ton of research over the last year as I’ve gotten involved with the hobby! The lore is so rich and expansive and sometimes confusing, it’s awesome to see guys like you making content like this!!
I'd love to see a video about the dropsite massacre.
i shall craft it! :)
This is the Best Narrative of 40k lore in a while. Very direct, very serious but interesting and Intelligent. Great Job, keep it up! Hope we see a lot more from this Channel.
I just started watching this video: " I can't even peel an orange without sweating." I feel you there lul
I must boop this subscription button
welcome to the family! :)
Thank you so much for these videos, really explains everything.
A really amazing video here ItalianSpartacus. Vulkan and the Salamanders are one of my favorite primarchs and legions/chapters and this video does the father of the 18th and his stoic sons great justice.
YUS! i'm glad you enjyoed it dude :)
Man i love your Primarch videos. I really hope You will continue to make them.
Vulcan and the Salamanders are pretty darn cool guys. Always liked their compassion for humankind and their consideration for everyone.
Vulkan is my favourite primarch. A unique combination of power and heart.
These Primarch lore videos definitely tickle my pickle. And I would love a video of the battle and Fulgrim for next primarch!
Keep up the good work. Lovin' the primarch uploads!!
thanks man! more to come ! :D
Nice job with Vulkan, man! He was never one of my favorites, but he is interesting, and you made him even more so with your telling of his story. Just a suggestion, because I’ll be really excited to see any Primarch video you make- would you consider doing one on Malcador the Hero/ the Sigillite? I know he isn’t a Primarch, but he’s probably my favorite character from the Heresy Era. Really fascinating character, as I’m sure you know! Thanks again for the awesome video- =][=
Mark Brigandi I absolutely must. You cannot tell the story of the primarchs without the regent of Terra and agent for the creation of the grey Knights!! Glad you liked it man! :)
Him and a few other primarchs I would follow into the deepest hell holes of materium and immaterium. I am drawn to the true heroes and benign leaders in 40k who stand against the unrelenting tide of evil in the galaxy.
Vulkan the biggest strongest(physically) kindest primarch. I feel like the emperor of man kind gave Vulkan all the best genetics. The perpetual gene, hes wolverine and cannot die. The most physically strong of all the primarchs.
I just got this recommended, after I read The Beast Arises. You should check in on that story, there is a volume dedicated to this primarch your video is about.
I know! I have to get the series! i'm so back logged though, i just haven't been abel to get around to it ! :(
Simply the best, nothing is better then the salamanders.
I know this is a old video but thank you for telling the story non the less.
Thank you for watching :)
Dude I love your videos. Doing a great job here.
thanks man!! :)
Please add a link to the battle of Istvaan V video, it’s truly one of my favourite moments in the HH due to its significance. Love the videos dude!!
Another stellar video Sparto 👏👏👏 'BRUTHAAAA' (Brotherly forearm clasp) BRUTHAAAA!!!
DEWWW ITTTT!
Best bros of 40k confirmed! Tag team with the Salamanders any time!
Nice work man!
Campaign vid with maps would be dope! my pickle is tickled as you say sir.
While I appreciate the flattery and don't mean to nitpick, but I am not the Chapter Master. Tu'Shan is the big boss, I'm in charge of the 1st Company.
Edited for spelling, armored fingers don't like touchscreens
You r my favorite 40k lore TH-camr
Good stuff! Been waiting so long!
i know! i'm so sorry!
Favorite legion, still working on my army but love their rule and lore.
Great content as always!
Great stuff. Vulkan lives!
Oh HELL Yes I would the idea.
great video.i can't wait for your video of the dropsite massacre.
yeah i gotta get balls deep in that! :D
great idea to do a detail video of the battle
i just keep touching in on it with every primarch and it'd take 30 minutes to go into alone because there's SO much detail in the book Fulgrim!
HE ABSORBED SOME A DAT WAAAGH ENERGY THEM GREEN-SKIN BOIZ ARE ALWAYS ON ABOUT!
OH ZOG
Real question. Will his armor hurt me much if I get hugs?
Vulkan love hugs!
Great video!
This is my favorite loyalist legion
1000 sons being my favorite traitor legion
Same
Since there are 9 trials, and all the other greek references, one might call them "Herculean" tasks. Hmm...
That tickles my pickle, let’s get into it
In all seriousness thats a really awesome story about Vulkan. 40K lore is great
lets have a tickle fight and get to it!
lmao I got a good chuckle from that part in the video
The best primarch hope to see him soon
Awesome video--thank you!!
Definitely. Dropsite video would be good one.
In my opinion Vulkan's lore is a reference by Greeks myths.
Odyssey
Prometheus ( humanity, fire and constant resurrection)
Atlas ( a world in his shoulders)
The resurrection in Nocturne remind me to Christ resurrection , three disciples, three legionaries.
Thanks for the vid sir.👍🏼👍🏼
My favourite chapter!
Dude is one of my favourite primarchs right off the bat when getting into 40k I would love for him or Russ to come back. Won't complain if it's the lion either
Love the map campaign idea!
i'll see if i can do it proper justice!
He is by far my favourite Primarch. So damn cool and can't wait for his return. Thanks for making these videos and making sure they contain so much in depth content. Been working through the primarch videos and love them all. Can you recommend the books that contain Vulkan and tell this story in it's entirety? I know it must be covered in multiple books but an idea would be amazing
Oh man.. So he has his book Vulkan, it's great.. But the book Vulkan Lives is amazing. It's one of the better ones that highlights him and is really intense
@@italianspartacus is the Vulkan book his one in the Primarch series? I've ordered that one and will read that one as it seems to be the earliest in the timeline in terms of his story.
Great, I'll get Vulkan lives as well! Thanks for the recommendation and keep doing the fantastic work you are doing on your channel!
Good work.
Konrad Curze tried to kill Vulcan really REALLY hard with a FORK
Awesome video.
I can picture Vulkan and Emps just standing there making small talk while holding anvils over their heads (which was probably like holding baskets for them)
This. Is. Awesome.
Vulkan, the most underrated Primarch.
he tried REALLY HARD. With a fork.
Great video. For the Imperium and it's people.

There are 2 juicy infor for folks who love salamanders.
1) salamanders are prone to localised their protection for specific humans territory (before their great crusade). Salamanders will learn to acknowledge protection of Imperium is protection for all mankinds.
This probably will change when we adress the actual imperium had strayed far from emperor's vision & Vulkan resignation from the frontline, a declaration of "imperium has enough generals". So, Salamander will had to ponder the idea of imperium is actual representation of humankind.
2) People comment Salamenders are slow in thought and pondorous in tactical decisions compared to other SMs.
It reveals Salamanders think beyond the war. They emphasize the consequence of war and long term effect of any war.
As a result, Salamenders aslo prone to engage in suicidal battle, impossible siege warfare and large casualty.
“Cute “baby” primarch gestation pods...”
Didn’t you say in the Sanguinise video you find babies just creepy, like a spawn of the devil and disturbing to you...???
And when do we get Corvus and Lorgar (who did nothing wrong til Girlyman razed Monachia!!) and the rest of the Primarchs?
Absolutely. I hate babies like I hate bees.
Khan is next! And soon!
ItalianSpartacus our of honest curiosity, why do you hate babies?
Do it do it that campaign would make a great video
I thought they release primarchs on popularity basis. But seeing leman russ is one of the popular one, I can't understand why release of Magnus does not trigger his release into 50k time line.
exactly! leman russ is like.. king when it comes to primarchs.. bobby-g is just ssafe one because ultramarines are so prolific
Everyone knew where rowboat girlyman was, sitting on a throne in a stasis field for 10,000 years on macragge. He's also the perfect leader for the imperium.
Russ is my favourite but he's not a bureaucrat. He's a warlord. If he came back he'd just take the space Wolves on a massive crusade of murder forever
I'm new to the 40k universe, but from what I've seen. Vulcan is my favorite primearch and the salamanders are my favorite marines. They are everything I aspire to be. The they strength of body, mind, skill, and character.
Definitely tell us about the spacemarine battles in depth.
i shall :)!
*BRUVA FREN INTENSIFIES*
Good video... Wondering Why are none of the 40k Lore Channels covering sanguinous?
i can do him next ;) he's one of my favorite primarchs as i play Blood Angels
Would love a video on Perturabo or Alpharius next
noted! :) i'm taking them all down
I can't look at Vulcan sounding like a big jolly green giant
I think I've now found my favorite Primarch/marines!
hahah right? it's a lot more epic sounding than you would otherwise believe ;)
yes we want maps we want pictures we want more keep up the great videos
hahah thank you man! :) glad you enjoy it!
4:56 Feats of Strength you say? The celebration they had wouldn't be called "Festivus" by any chance, would it?
Youve gotten mixed up early on in this video with how the people of Nocturne look. It's actually only the Salamanders Space Marines that look that way as a result of their genetic ties with Vulkan. This (supposedly ) due to exposure to the odd radiation that Nocturne's star produces having an effect on the marines Gene-seed (I've not yet read the Primarchs series Vulkan novel yet to see if Terra-born Salamanders are decsribed as still having the defect).
It is stated though in the Salamanders novel series by Nick Kyme that Salamanders initiates go through a stage of reverse vitiligo. Also a Salamander named Dak'ir becomes scared from a plasma burn covering one half of his face, it burned away the skin pigmentation there causing him to consider the duality of himself looking half transhuman and half mortal (suggesting that he looked that way before his initiation into the Chapter).
as normal as a tyranid to the face is. hahaha! most epic line ever
back with the primarchs! woot woot!
MORE TO COME!
Point of clarification. The forge father Vulcan he'stan is not the chapter Master. His role as forge father keeps him busy all over the galaxy, and he can requisition pretty much anything he needs but captain Tu'shan of the first company serves as chapter Master and Regent of nocturn. Because "Vulcan lives" it is all sorg of done as a leading in his stead sort of way.
The reason why I really love vulkan is he is a living cure for depression and scuide like scp 999 if a guardmen wants to kills himself then vulkan comes fast as a ork motor vehicle to hug the guardmen sadness away
