The guardsman is just overwhelmed by the fact that a space marine is casually talking to him (No orders, no scolding etc.) Salamanders truly are the emperors angels.

Scalding is going on, though.

Salamanders are kind not merciful.

See the episode with the Eldar Kids . The Malevolent Marine Couldn't sleep after that .

Kind to your allies. Merciless to your enemies. Enough to make Vulkan proud.

Funnily enough a Salamander would 100% look at the situation and unironically call it humane. Theres a common belief amongst the chapter that being killed in fire purges the spirit of corruption, therefore death by flamer is a mercy "Im going to killed you in the most nightmarish way possible to save your soul"

To add on, it's also a tactical decision in cases of Chaos Taint, as the flame purges any trace of Nurgle's Rot from the landscape.

@@Forestxavier20Ork spores as well. Come to think of it, there are a lot of mean greens out there.

Reminds me of that scene from Pariah Nexus where the zombie Kriegsman kept going on about feeling hollow and cold and then the Salamander rectified that by setting his ass on fire.

While on the one hand it is funny on the other hand promethium burns so hot it turns you immediately to ashes therefore... Let us KEEP GOING WITH THE JOKE!

Salamanders... Stay on their good side.

Flamers burn so hot that anyone hit would be immediately dead.

Given the number of truly terrifying ways to die OFF the battlefield, being burned alive is about as close to mercy as you can expect from a space marine, let alone the salamanders.

also considering how hot the flames of a salamander would be, there likely wouldn't be too much pain as your nerves would burn faster than you could feel pain assuming you were in the direct blast

We protect the smallies.

Distant cry in the background: VULCAN LIVES! (Stomp stomp)

So a murderer torturing the kill... but kind and cuddly otherwise? Salamanders are cats.😂

@@solaire2271 Cats value relationships very much. If a cat likes you, seeks to be in physical contact with you. Just their biology forces them to sleep most of the time...

Nothing more human than burning something to naught but ash!

traitors/heretics/mutants/xenos aren't people - me, your favorite salamander player.

They have a point here They ARE space marine and there main job is to fight humanity's enemy and they shall do so It doesn't matter how every chapter behaves towards normal people if they are killing our enemies its fine

Got to be cruel to be kind.
