They are actually EXTREMELY similar to their progenitors in the Salamanders. They have extremely similar rituals to the original Salamander legion in which they simply swap out burning hot flames for frigid frozen water, their rites follow the same outlines. Also just like the original Salamander Legion they are permitted to coexist with their homeworlds residents and care plenty for civilians in a way truly honoring Vulkan. Pretty much everything about them is Salamanders with water red rather than something completely different or foreign from their original Legion

The only reason they’re not my first army is because my buddies main army is Salamanders and I wanted to battle him with a whole different army.

Your exposure of our Cousins is grand enough. Hail Vulkans sons. It burns in all our hearts

Eating 3 square meals a day may work when you’ve little time, but a healthier lifestyle can include several smaller meals. Making the banquet all the more special. Thank you for sharing with us, Brother Baldermort, as always. I recommend pairing a Soulful Drink in the future.

I love imagining the way these marines fight on the battlefield, like a cross between Raven Guard and Space Wolves. Lying in wait for weeks, stalking, tracking, following the largest most fearsome enemy they can find, waiting until it's isolated and vulnerable before ambushing all at once with a mix of long-range precise bolter shots and savage animalistic melee attacks. Like a sea monster silently following a lonely vessel under the waves until reaching out its long tentacles to crush and tear its prey to pieces and drag it to the dark depths. A perfectly calm, still night interrupted by the sudden chaotic violence of a predator making its strike. It's so terrifying to think about, I love these guys.

Would love to see a Black Dragons video at some point, dunno if there's enough for a full sized video, so they might be a good fit for these bite-sized video's.

Mmmm you start with a open question.... What's next? Salamander successor... I would call for the Black Viper. I choose them for my primaris chapter. Mysterious and deadly... You know that your work on Dorn made me bought and build a full pre heresy mk4 army with leviathan and contemptor, and so much more... Thanks to make me discover my true self... Son of Dorn. Your Sigismund was really hard not to enjoy. Looking forward for your next post. Thanks for the Krakeb. Learn something new today

I read a story about the dark krakens fighting Tyranids underwater in White Dwarf, right after I got my SSI divers certification, and I've been waiting for someone to cover them in a video! Thank you Baldermort!

I do agree that whilst I seriously dislike how Primaris were brought in and how their units work as a whole and what they sort of represent (especially with upscaled firstborn), it is nice having some opportunities for successors that were not previously there

Love me a Baldermort biscuit o lore. Hopefully we get a full box of lore biscuits to dive into.

...Different lives but same kind of mentality as the Salamanders with an added 'ATTACK BIGGEST THING!!!' mentality? I like!

Yes more sons of nocturn! GLORY TO VULKAN!-Artellus Numeon The salamanders were always my favourite Legion during the grate crusade and I love how their love of humanity spreads across a larger area (not that I’d like to admit) thanks to the Codex Astartes...

Would love to see one about the Black Dragons.

I do love these vids on these new lesser known chapters! I'd suggest the Iron Hands successor 'The Knights Of Byzantium' but theres not a lot of lore on them...gorgeous burgundy and gold colored armour though, I must say.

Always love to see a video and learn about a new chapter. Would love to see something about the Iron Snakes, Flesh Tearers, or Sons of the Phoenix.

The Dark Krakens are currently my first Space Marine Army I've been paying taken working on for a little while now. Been learning how to do some stuff with green stuff and neon illuminating paint to match the bioluminescence found on their fortress monastery. And trying my best to recreate their named Chaplin and named librarian

Baldermort calls this a biscuit, brain sings 'if you like alot of corpse starch on your biscuit our cult' to the tine of a 90's advert.

Truly, out of all the Primaris successor chapters, these sons of Vulkan have to be amongst my favorite. Not only for their color scheme and almost entirely opposite homeworld in comparison to their progenitor, but the fact they still fight with the fury and passion of Vulkan, they haven’t forgotten they serve humanity as much as they do the Emperor.

You're far too underrated sir. Out of all the Warhammer lore channels you're by far the best, adding such depth and quality to your videos that I'd say only Leutin can barely match up to you. Keep up the incredible work Baltdemort, I wait anxiously for these big projects you've been working on. Good day to you sir🙏

Disciples of the Flames or the Black Dragons would be great chapters to look at. The disciples aren't technically a chapter but they were a very interesting offshoot from the Heresy era salamanders and went on to save a forge world and turn some iron warriors. Very good episode as always!

A successor that I’ve loved Simse their recent introduction has been the Bringers of Judgment, a Dark Angles successor that will exterminates planets if even one person on them has been seen as a heretic. They also look cool with gold and white

If you're looking for a unique chapters might I suggest the Obsidian Jaguars that were recently created? They have a short story in Psychic Awakening, a few pages in white dwarf 457, and a few mentions in Warzone Charadon and Warzone Octarius.

I like the concept, carcharadons do a similar voidy theme- but the face mask screams heresy to me, what with the perversion of the holy human form and whatnot. Plus- tentacles. Also- DO LAMENTERS!
