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?

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!    :;):

My mate Simon has done some conversions to create Salamanders



They are Imperial Bombard bases and Ork Buggy Gunners

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,

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.

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.
