*The '''[[3rd Company (Salamanders)|3rd Company]]''', known as the ''Pyroclasts''. Even amongst a Chapter noted for its use of [[Flame Weapon]]s, the 3rd always endeavours to close with their foe and unleash purging fire. As such, they are the Chapter's foremost answer to entrenched enemies. They also have the grim duty of purging populations condemned as heretic or [[xenos]] sympathizers. They are always careful to balance the Promethean Cult's teachings of protecting the weak with Vulkan's noted pragmatism.
*The '''[[4th Company (Salamanders)|4th Company]]''', known as the ''Branded''. The 4th are the most closely tied to the Salamanders [[Reclusiam]] and admittance to the Company is a recognition of the Battle-Brother's faith and commitment. The 4th practices [[Brander-Priest]] rituals to an obsessive level, with nearly their entire body save their face becoming adorned with various brand-oaths. Tactically, the 4th specializes in close combat and short range firefights, often battling with a large number of [[Chaplain]]s.
*The '''[[5th Company (Salamanders)|5th Company]]''', known as the ''Drake Hunters''. The 5th has a reputation of destroying large enemy constructs and alien horrors. Its members specialize in slaying the salamander drakes of Nocturne. As a Reserve Company, they rarely fight together but instead are used to reinforce other companies during campaigns. In battle, they favor favour acting as mobile weapons platforms instead of static defense and use a large amount of [[Dreadnought]]s. They also make extensive use of attack craft and heavy gunships.
*The '''[[6th Company (Salamanders)|6th Company]]''', known as the ''Flamehammers''. Unlike many reserve companies which consist of [[Fire Support Squad]]s and [[Battleline Squad]]s, the 6th utilizes fast-moving transports alongside its heavy firepower. The 6th is usually the first Company in which new [[Battle-Brother]]s are first transferred after finishing their time as [[Scout]]s.
*The '''[[7th Company (Salamanders)|7th Company]]''', known as the ''Sons of Nocturne''. The Warriors of the 7th consist of [[Vanguard Space Marine|Vanguard]] and [[Scout]] troops. The 7th has slow and exacting standards for a [[Neophyte]] to be promoted to full Battle-Brother.
