Armor Athlete Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I am designing a new IA and looking at where my DIY Chapter comes from. Looking around I saw that the Salamanders have " none known" 2nd Founding. So does this totally eliminate the possiblity of a DIY being one? I dont not think that there would be a very detailed reason as we know why there was a 2nd Founding.

soddinnutter Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 After the Horus Heresy there were barely any Salamanders left. The legion was down to a few hundred marines and they did not have the numbers to form one fully manned chapter let alone donate marines for a second batch.

Venerable Brother Pelinore Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 The Second Founding is out for the Salamanders. I think it's actually confirmed 100% in Nick Kyme's 'Salamander' that they did not participate in the Second Founding, the reasoning behind that being their nearly total destruction in the Isstvan V 'Drop Site Massacre'.

Brother Tyler Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 More to the point - the lack of 2nd Founding Successors of the Salamanders doesn't rule out Successors from subsequent Foundings. There are even a few Chapters that are suspected to be descendants from Vulkan via later Foundings. Do you need your Chapter to be from the 2nd Founding, or will some other Founding work for you? There's very little that being from the 2nd Founding gives you that you can't get from one of the other early Foundings such as the 3rd, 4th, or 5th.

Armor Athlete Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 -> VB = I remember the Massacre, I was just looking and thinking that it should seal it and say no. -> BT = Your right, I could use Foundings less then 10 and still get the same effect and still use the Sals as the founding Chapter. I was trying to connect Chapters by starting with a Legion -> GW Chapter -> DIY/GW Chapter -> then my Chapter.
