The “Sons of Vulkan” are a fan-created chapter of Space Marines in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. They are known as a successor chapter to the Salamanders, a prominent chapter in the Warhammer 40k lore. The Salamanders themselves are characterized by their black skin and red eyes, a trait caused by their long exposure to the intense radiation and high gravity of their home world, Nocturne. They are also known for their exceptional craftsmanship in weapons and armor, as well as their unwavering sense of honor and loyalty.
The Sons of Vulkan share many traits with their progenitor chapter, embodying the Salamanders’ principles of honor, craftsmanship, and a strong commitment to protect humanity. They often carry flamers and melta weapons, which are a hallmark of the Salamanders, reflecting their affinity for fire-based weaponry.
In terms of appearance, they would likely bear the distinctive Salamanders’ emblem and may incorporate volcanic or dragon motifs into their armor to symbolize their fiery heritage and their connection to Vulkan, the Primarch of the Salamanders. They would also exhibit the unique physical traits of their predecessors, adapting to the harsh environments similar to those of Nocturne.
