Cool report. Played Salamanders for years and starting a new drop pod army from scratch soon. Curious if there's anything you'd change about the army after this match?

The stormtalons didn't perform very well due to very good jink saves from my opponent, and Vulkan died horribly 2v1 to bargelords with mindshackle scarabs... But some AA is necessary when everything is a 12-24 inch melta guns and Vulkan is obviously an allstar just for his mastercraft melta rule alone.

I would probably change the Chaplain into a Captain for the extra wound, since he gets a free reroll from mastercrafted making zealot kind of "meh". Since he has teeth of terra he always wants to break off and fight troops alone anyway.

I have won 3/3 games I've played with this mass melta for tanks and lots of bolters for infantry list. 12 objective secured units is great and while I was getting slaughtered because those bargelords are insane, normally marines hold their own a lot better.
