Heresy Thursday – Smoking Hot Upgrades for the Salamanders

Can you believe we’re nearing the end of the Heresy Thursday MKVI Upgrade Reveals? By our count, only four Legions are left – including today’s Salamanders.

Of all the Space Marine Legions, the Salamanders hold perhaps the closest ties to the rest of humanity – having forged a real kinship with the people of Nocturne. This doesn’t seem to stop them from roasting and toasting their enemies with terrifying pyroclastic weapons, though.

The Legion is named after the gigantic fireproof reptiles that congregate around their planet’s active volcanoes, and their MKVI helmet upgrades evoke these fearsome firedrakes with cunning custom plating in three draconic designs. This set of 11 resin heads also contains a plumed officer’s helmet with flame motifs, and one bare head.

You can also look forward to a set of 10 shoulder pads to help complete the Salamanders’ look. These feature the Legion's draconic emblem and a subtle ridged trim. You have to expect an artisanal touch from the XVIII Legion.
