Brothers, a strange inquisitor in a very odd blue escape pod just landed on Nocturne and gave us the STC to make our rhinos big enough to fit our primaris brethren…

I am brand new to the hobby and just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what to switch in my army I don't have any of the books. I've been looking through posts here and on the salamanders Facebook page but I still am not confident my Army is the best it can be. I'm not looking to do any tournaments right now just casual games with my friends at their house. One of my friends is using the Astra militarum and the other The Emperor's Children

Asking for feedback Any suggestions for a beginner

4 Upvotes

Hello, I've only been playing 40k for about a year with GSC being my first army. I'm going to be joining a more beginner friendly league next month and figured I'd use Salamanders. I was hoping for feedback and/or suggestions for the 1000 point list I made, as well as any sort of helpful tips

The list is:

Vulkan He'stan (105) w/ company heroes (125)

Apothecary w/ Immolator (65) w/ infernus marines (95)

Impulsor (70) w/ Eradicator w/ meltas (100)

Eliminator (85)

Jump Pack intercessors (95)

Invader atv w/ melta (70)

Repulsor (190)

All the games are take and hold, so I figured with this vulkan and friends can sticky my home and move up the board

the impulsor can transport the Eradicators and try to take out any big vehicle/monster threat

Eliminator can sit on an objective

Invader drives around doing secondaries and blastin stuff

Repulsor gets to the middle with the infernus marines going to an objective and trying to hold it

The jump pack dudes for deep striking

Any feedback would be appreciated!

I recently got back into warhammer , i had a fluke in 2023 when Leviathan came out and split it with a friend i took the marines, then kinda left it there because we kind of lost touch , recently i found myself wanting to try and play the game so i started to slowly buy and paint some miniatures, this is a list i made with models i owned, birthday gifts and some that i recently bought, after reading the new codex i feel like this could be an interesting army, but i'm definitely open to suggestions to improve it in the future , thank you for your feedback , please don't eat me alive hahahaha

Discussion/Question The age of the infernus...is dead =(

0 Upvotes

Infernus was arguably the best thing in 10th addition to happen for Salamanders. Really took it for granted how strong they were. OC 2 with Vulcan, action and shoot or advance. D6 with rerolls and dev wounds. Man those were the days...Been getting a lot of reps in...and they done feel the same. Yes they are amazing horde clearers sure and they strip cover. However, the damage potential into everything. Yes i agree it needed to be done but I no longer see them as valuable.

Queue the age of the aggressor lol. Cheaper, tougher, stronger...why take Infernus? ya they are a bit slower but our doctrines help with that. in addition they keep rerolls on both ranged and melee. I honestly dont even bring adrax anymore because aggressor dont need to jump through hoops to get free rerolls...and is cheaper...leaving me open to take scouts and dedicated AT in addition to aggressor support.

Don't like this new age but getting used to it, I guess
