The '''Salamander Command Vehicle''' is an [[Imperial Guard]] vehicle based around the same chassis as the [[Salamander Scout Vehicle]], the [[Chimera]]. It is equipped with better command and communication equipment and are often used by [[Armoured Fist Company HQ]]s in order to keep up with the formation while commanding an operation.

==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. ==Forge World Variations==*[[Vanaheim]] - standard pattern, built in multi-spectral surveyor (provides magnification, tracking and night vision equipment) ==Regiments known to contain Salander Command Vehicles==*[[Cadian 98th Armoured Regiment|98th Cadian Armoured Regiment]] - Luxor Uprising*[[Krieg 1st Heavy Tank Company|1st Krieg Heavy Tank Company]]*[[Catachan 146th Regiment|146th Catachan Regiment 'the Red Cobras']]*[[Mordian 3rd Heavy Tank Company|3rd Mordian Heavy Tank Company]]*[[Valhallan 28th Armoured Regiment|28th Valhallan Armoured Regiment]] - Belatis IV Campaign ==Armament and Upgrades==The Salamander Command is armed with a hull-mounted [[Heavy Bolter]] and [[Heavy Flamer]], which can be upgraded to another [[Heavy Bolter]].
