A Salamander Command Vehicle

History

The Salamander is a fairly common varient of the Chimera, providing a rugged and flexible design which can be altered easily to the needs at the moment.

In the 41st Millennium

The Salamander Command is built with extra communications equipment built in and is used as a combined HQ/transport vehicle. It is often used to transport staff around the battlefield. Each vehicle has a dedicated comms officer trained to use the highly advanced communications equipment.

The combination of high speed, good protection and advanced comms-equipment means the Salamander often finds roles outside of HQ units. Often they are used as artillery spotters and Commissars have been known to ride in them. They can also be used to tow equipment if Trojans are unavailable.

  • Vanaheim - standard pattern, built in multi-spectral surveyor (provides magnification, tracking and night vision equipment)
