salamanders in 5th

so, ummmm, yeah, I was looking on warseer at some of the rumers for the new marine codex. what they're saying about the new salamanders special character is nuts, even though he's 200pts+

-crazy-ass gauntlet that fires as a twin linked hvy flamer and counts as a CC weapon
-some kinda salamander hide cloak, not sure what it does, but its prolly akin to the adamantine mantle (ignore instant death) or gives him a better save, maybe even +1T
-a power spear that gives him +2S
-from what I gathered, the space marines are losing chapter traits, but gaining something like doctrines, called combat tactics, and this guy gives you the salamander themed ones for free
-all flamers and melta weapons in the army become twin linked for free
-all thunder hammers are master crafted for free

hopefully this stuff is true, it makes me smile a lot

there are a lot of other interesting SM rumers on warseer, it sounds like they're getting even more broken to me (like one rule where they can choose to pass or fail Ld tests, another where they can just leave CC at anytime like hit and run), you guys should check em out if you don't feel like waiting till sept/oct

Rumours are just that. Rumours, I'll be waiting to see it to believe it in the fall.

true, but most of the rumers you and mike told me about that you saw on warseer for 5th were true.
