Nice article! You have some neat tricks in there

Thanks! I've been getting a number of requests from people via PM asking about how to play Salamanders, and I thought that having all my basic answers written down in one place might help some people out.

you forgot that this is a pretty viable tactic too http://www.wobblymodelsyndrome.com/comic-36.html

Decent tactica.

Thanks! I'm thinking about writing a second part, with more focus on tactics as opposed to list-building.

Your article contains very nice points. The best thing about the article each and every thing is mentioned sequence vise no confusion in any case.

Very good sum up !
As for comments, I notice that the inquisition part of the GK, or the inquisition stand alone codex is not mentionned. In a DP heavy army, it can add very cheap scoring units to stay on backfield objectives while your main force will be dropping on the head of your opponnent. It also add an increadibly price efficient HQ (vanilla inquisitor or Coetaz) that can roll with your marines.

For beginners (like me) i'd also add a "standart" 1500 points army list to give an idea on the point balance you're recommanding.

All in all, great article !

Good stuff!
