The Oppo: Bonehead's Lost, Damned and in all likelihood Disappointed

Definitely snag the Salamander Scout.

 

I love my two Tallarn Scout Salamanders. They are fun to use. I always put 'em in reserve to take advantage of their Legends outflank rule.

As you can see, I like to outflank Salamanders with sentinels for added firepower.

Nice painting on those salamanders, commander! Also, that's a lot of autocannons. Hard to dislike that many big guns on a flank.

I think you've got the names twisted, Doctor- the Mari are the regular traitor guard, the white ones are the Kur. 

The theme of the Yantar is light infantry- so only very light vehicles like the tauroses for them, Gnasher. It's a light tank, but the salamader is still an actual treads-and-all tank so it's off the cards.

I kind of like the salamander for the Mari armoured; a scout vehicle that's still a tank, to emphasise their general heavy feel.

Meanwhile, I think the good doctor has the same thought as me about the white traitor guard; they're assault troops, basically, nasty up close. The Mari are regular heavy infantry and armour, and the light infantry role is filled by the swarming cultists. I'm toying with the idea of making them mechanised, but I need a vehicle that's not a chimera for them. Not sure I like the taurox. Valkyries do fit the Star Wars storm troopers feel, but they seem a bit too good for traitor guard.

Yep, I did get the names reversed - I think the salamander would be great for your actual Mari.
