SALAMANDERS Warhammer 40K More Evil Than You Think ⬟⬟⬟ The Salamanders are known as the most humane Space Marines — protectors of civilians, brothers of humanity, defenders of the weak. But that image hides something darker. They burn worlds with flamers, erase cities during the Great Crusade, and commit acts that would be considered war crimes by any standard. Even Vulkan himself crossed a line — a moment that still stains the Chapter’s legacy. They are still heroes. But they are not innocent.
