Salamander Doctrine:

• Whilst in the Tactical Doctrine, when resolving an attack made with a flame or melta weapon by a model with this ability, add 1 to the wound roll.

Salamander Stratagems:

• Flamecraft 2CP: In the Shooting phase, pick a Salamanders unit. Until the end of the phase, when a model in that unit shoots a flame weapon, it automatically does the maximum number of attacks.
• Rites of Vulkan 2CP: Use at the start of the Movement phase if the Tactical Doctrine is active. Until the start of the next battle round, whenever you shoot a Rapid Fire or Assault weapon with a SALAMANDERS model, an unmodified wound roll of 6 causes the AP of the shot to improve by 1.
• The Crucible of Battle 1CP: In the Shooting or Fight phase, when a SALAMANDERS unit from your army is activated, add 1 to their wound rolls for attacks they make until the end of the phase. 
• Strength of the Primarch 1CP: Use at the start of the fight phase on a SALAMANDERS unit in your army. Until the end of the phase, add 1 to the Strength of models in that unit and when you roll an unmodified roll of 6 on your wound rolls, double the damage of their weapon for that attack.
• Immolation Protocols 1CP: Use in the Shooting phase on a SALAMANDERS unit. Until the end of the phase, all their flame weapons become Pistol type.
• The Fires of Battle 1CP: Use in your Shooting phase or your opponent’s Charge phase when firing Overwatch with a unit. Pick a single model. When you shoot a flame or melta weapon that phase with that model, unmodified wound rolls of 4+ cause an extra mortal wound on top of their other damage
• Self Sacrifice 2CP: Use this at the start of your opponent’s Shooting phase and pick a SALAMANDERS INFANTRY unit in your army. Until the end of the phase, enemy unit can’t target any other INFANTRY units that are within 6? of the selected unit unless that unit is the closest enemy unit to the firing unit and visible to it.
• Rise From the Ashes 2CP: Use when a SALAMANDERS CHARACTER dies to have them stand back up with one wound on a D6 roll of a 4+ at the end of the phase. You can only use this once.
• Relentless Determination 1CP: Use this at the end of your Movement phase on a unit that didn’t Advance. That unit counts as having remained stationary until your next Movement phase, and if it has a damage table, double the number of wounds it has remaining when determining its profile.
• Vengeance for Istvaan V 1CP: When you fight Word Bearers, Iron Warriors, Night Lords, or Alpha Legion, you can re-roll hit rolls in the Fight phase.
• Exemplar of the Promethean Creed 1CP: Give your non-unique Warlord an additional Warlord trait. Can’t be used to give someone a trait that you’ve already given a model in your army. 
• Stand Your Ground 1CP: Use on a SALAMANDERS INFANTRY unit in any phase if it’s not a Servitor and didn’t Advance and it’s being chosen as the target of an attack. Until the end of the phase, when you make saves against attacks with a damage characteristic of 1, you get +1 to your armour save (not invulns)..
• Master Artisans 1CP: Give a Sergeant one Special Issue Wargear.
• Born Protectors 2CP: Use when your opponent declares a charge at one of your Salamanders units. Pick another Salamanders unit that isn’t in combat and is within 12? of the unit being charged. It can fire Overwatch at the charging unit too. Also, if the charge is successful, that unit can perform a Heroic Intervention and move up to 2D6?, ending up closer to the enemy unit that charged and not within 1? of any other enemy units..
