‘For they shall know no fear’ & Drop Pods
These special rules are included in Codex Space Marines and also apply to Salamanders
Pious
Salamanders Space Marines are exceptionally pious, even by the standards of other Space Marine Chapters. To represent this, roll an extra D6 for any squad or character’s fall back distance, and then pick the D6 results you want in order to determine the distance fallen back.
Blaze of Glory
All Salamanders ranking officers wear specially crafted armour which contains a device called the ‘Blaze of Glory’. This device can be triggered to explode in a final suicidal attempt to take down more of the enemy. When a Salamanders HQ character, including Special Characters (not a member of a Command Squad) is reduced to 0 wounds, he may attempt to go down in a ‘Blaze of Glory’. One a D6 roll of 6, the character has triggered the ‘Blaze of Glory’ device and the power armour explodes violently. Place a blast marker on the exploding model and roll to hit other models using the rules for blast weapons. The attacks have a Strength of 4, and an AP of 3.
