Salamander (2004 Edition)

Salamanders are giant, predatory amphibians that inhabit the swamplands and estuaries of the jungles. They are swift-moving creatures on both land and water, and voracious hunters. Within their bodies is an organ that produces a fiery venom, and the Salamander is capable of launching a burst of the highly corrosive, flaming liquid. Salamanders have a vicious temperament, but despite this they are sometimes captured and raised by Skink handlers who use them to hunt the larger creatures dwelling in the jungles. It battle, Salamanders are directed toward the foe, though so aggressive are the creatures that they need little encouragement. Indeed, it is often the case that the Skinks must restrain them to prevent the Salamanders from launching themselves straight into the enemy! A Salamander Hunting Pack is a Rare unit choice in a Lizardmen army. It consists of one Salamander and three Skink Handlers. They may be fielded in regiments of 1-3 Hunting Packs.
