I am new to space marines, I was/am a nid player.

I have started a salamander force for something different based on what I know about them I like the fluff.

There is so much info out there for space marines I don't know where to start in finding out more about the chapter.

Can anyone point me in the direction of any books, novels that are good reads about the salamanders.

Thanks]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692731/8692027.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692731/8692027.page GMT Salamander background - where to start http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692731/8694599.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692731/8694599.page GMT Re:Salamander background - where to start Sadly, there are also just about the only books written about the salamanders in the 41st millennium, so you don't get a second option on some of the more iffy bits. As long as you know enough about the general lore to not get swept away by some of the more improbable things, you'll enjoy it. I certainly did.

Otherwise, they have a few heresy books about the salamanders. Sadly, those are also controversial with a few odd points.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692731/8694966.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692731/8694966.page GMT Re:Salamander background - where to start

Thanks both. Will check out that book series, suppose you can remember what it's called?



I'd start with the heresy books. "Promethean Sun", "Vulkan Lives" and "Deathfire". If you like Salamanders, you'll be set. Otherwise I'd avoid them, since they're not very good in my opinion.

After that check out the "Tome of Fire" series. It's set in the 41 millenium, like the guys said. Kyme is also working on a new series, set right after the first trilogy. First book was called "Salamanders: Rebirth". It's pretty good.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692731/8698608.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692731/8698608.page GMT Salamander background - where to start http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692731/8698991.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692731/8698991.page GMT
