Need Help Constructing a Salamanders Army

[Lathe Biosas]

I haven't built a space marine army since 5th edition and that was a Dark Angels Ravenwing/Deathwing force.

 

So, I've decided to try to build a fun Salamanders army. But before I start buying a bunch of models and shoulderpads, I thought I would run the list by you first.

 

Thank you for any advice you can share.

Apothecaries are terrible. You'll either want a Librarian to give the Infernus a 4++ or the Lieutenant for free Fall Back + Shoot. 

 

The best use of Immolator though is a Jump Captain with Vanguard Vets or the Gravis Captain.
