I've seen in a few places that the Salamander light vehicle is being used as a command model in a number of EpicA IG company formations. Is this correct? As I'm probably going to put in a Forgeworld order sometime soon, is it worth getting some at this point? Does anyone know if the Salamander will be a essential piece of Imperial kit in the official Guard army once the game proper gets released or if it will disappear from their list? Jackhammer |

Yes, Salamanders are necessary now and Jervis has included them with the army lists. They have a metal version worked out from what I understand and it will come packed with everything needed in a box (or big blister) set. I need to buy some too so I can get going. So far, my Jopallis have been working as an infantry-heavy regiment!  Shabbat shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |

Jimbo, Thanks for sharing. I almost forgot about that easy conversion/proxy for Salamanders. Alternatively, we could go the Tuffskull route and start cutting plasticard... Shabbat shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |

Hi! I have mixed feelings regarding the salamander, I think its one extra vehicle that wasn't needed since chimeras can fill most any slot on the IG army list by changing the weapons on it. In netepic we limited it to a command sort or vehicle, so as to give it a place. Primarch |

I forgot to add to my last post my conversion consists of a Hydra, replacing the AA weapon with one of the hatches (the one with the bolter). Looks nice. |

Love it, looks like it can take a whole detachment like a Thunderhawk but PLUS the Rhinos  ... oh can only assist my Blitzkreiging!

Blimming good point! Still.... perhaps it's void shields protect them? Or it has some kind of field? Or.... *desperately pulls at straws trying to find a reasonable explaination* |

I like it ! ?But I guess anything slung-loaded on the outside will need to be covered by power fields, but it will have a limited internal cargo load. ?The original Dropship rules in SM1 had PFs for BEVs (Jervis's term in E-A rules). ?And in SM1 all cargo was internal. ?I have a mix of Dropships (8) including the limited release G/W model, GZG and others. ?I'll be glad to add this to the fleet ! ?

Drool, I want one, but would rather see the fully finished model before I get one. Plus it is nothing like the sketch of one they had on the main Epic bit of the site....I liked that one as well! Cheers Chris |

From Jervis on the Epic:A Playtesters forum: The model isn't finished yet - Martin is going to add more surface detail, and needs to design an alternative set of clamps to hold Land Raiders. We'll probably make a third set of clamps for transporting Rhino variants with turrets such as Predators. The different clamps are something of a moot point, as I think most players will do landed versions of the model after the vehicles have moved off. | |

Cheers for posting Chris- I was interested as to how Land Raiders would fit on.. I want to see it finished too!
