Well, thanks to FW, there are now (2) Salamander Special Characters:

-Fan Favorite --> Vulkan
-New Entry --> Master Harath Shen

Pretty exciting.... and it has me thinking of FW based Salamander army list already:

HQ
-Vulkan
-Master Shen

EL
-8 TH/SS Assault Termies
-Ironclad with Drop Pod Heavy Flamer
-Ironclad with Drop Pod Heavy Flamer

TR
-2 x Tac Squad

FA
-Caestus Assault Ram (CAR)
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Prod...F/c/caestus.pdf
-2 x Land Speeder with MM/HF
-2 x Land Speeder with MM/HF

HS
-Land Raider Achilles
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Prod.../a/achilles.pdf
-Land Raider Achilles

----------------
*Vulkan/Master Shen/Terminators ride in the CAR, all have FNP due to Shen
*Tac Squads ride in Land Raiders, drive around and seize objectives, pop tanks
*Ironclads drop in and disrupt
*Land Speeders pop vehicles/flame infantry

Oh! Cool, a HQ Apothecary.

My only concern is that there are no techmarines to repair the Achilles--- that would make this army INVINCIBLY cheesy.

i'm holding out to see ashmantle before i redo my sally list. i think i heard he's hq, which would make me inordinately happy given i'm fluffily dreadnoughting my master of the forge. it would be worth losing vul'kan just for the aesthetic, to me.
