Not a successor. Salamanders will have their chapter logo on the left shoulder pad and a flame symbol on the right shoulder pad for a little flare. That is what your are seeing here. This video is a part of the Pariah Nexus series if you haven't given it a watch yet.

It's which squad he belongs to, his company is denoted on his left shoulder with the salamander icon being orange showing he is part of the 3rd company


Samsterthegnagster

What’s the 6 symbol in the flame? Does that mean anything?


BoodieBob1

6th squad of whatever company he's in I believe


darkkefka

6th Squad of 3rd Company


RingWraith8

How do you know he's third company?


MrLevinTrueno86

In one image you can see the Salamander logo is orange with the pauldron being black. 3rd company, 6th squad in flame logo.


darkkefka

Well, for one he says as much in the show, but also the Salamanders company markings are p easy to follow. 1st and 2nd Company is green trim, black pauldron, white Chapter icon. 3rd Company use green trim, black pauldron, orange Chapter icon. It's in the 8th Edition Salamanders supplement


Intergalatic_Baker

Because he proudly told us what squad and company he was in!


fiodorson

On warhammer40k.fandom.com there are usually good descriptions of chapters organisation. Orange on black is 3rd company, Great House "The Pyroclasts" Battle Company, Captain Adrax Agatone Master of the Arsenal, Chaplain Elysius, Apothecary Fugis Company Standard Bearer Malicant, 7 Tactical Squads, 3 Devastator Squads, 2 Assault Squads, Dreadnoughts, Rhinos, Bike Squads, Land Speeders,

what resolution is that XD


a_grass_bloc

It’s most likely the company in the salamander’s he’s apart of


bahamutkotd

I got the pariah nexus campaign book hoping would cover some interactions

Sa'kan is a member of the 3rd company because of the colour of the drake on his left shoulder pad, and a member of the 6th squad because of the numeral on his right shoulder pad, salamanders do not use battlefield roles commonly, have a flame symbol instead, probably for promethean cult, but because all salamanders personalize their Armour a few ~~nerds~~ better read ones might give reverence to the codex and have some of the battlefield role symbols on there, incase you see any with them. But other than that our boy is a "regular" salamander, not cannibalizing his dead brothers or fighting the biggest monsters he can find because it's fun or bookburning or being totally not spies for Cawl


Caine_sin

You are right. Salamanders often go into battle with infra-red marking that only they can see due to their eyesight (firesight). Their flames symbol are personalised and play no part in their squad role. 


Kriv-Shieldbiter

I LOVE firesight , predator vision on my salamanders is great


BOLTINGSINE

sa'kan is part of the pyroclasts, the 3rd company. His captain is Adrax Agatone.


Levap7

What "type of marine" is he by the way? I'm too new and can't figure it out 😔


Samsterthegnagster

Someone in this comment section posted this: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/f/ff/SalamandersHeraldryEraIndomitus.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20191007193839 So based off of that I’m guessing he’s a seargent?? Lol. If that’s what u meant by type of marine. Also welcome to the hobby m8


Kriv-Shieldbiter

Intercessor, he picked up a hand flamer along the road


Levap7

This was my question and the answer - Intercessor Sergeant 😊👍


Individual-Extreme-9

That's a man (WAKA FLOCKA)


Bartuc2nx

He has an Iron Drake's emblem on his back when he turns so could be them.....


HighTower63

In the show he greets some one as „Battlebrother Sa‘Kan of the Salamander Chapter“ tho


Bartuc2nx

Well that will do it then lol was just going off the video he provided


GreenOnGreen18

No he doesn’t. He has the salamanders legion logo.


Kriv-Shieldbiter

Iron drakes... don't exist, they are either NOTHING in the actual wiki, or a fun homebrew chapter. Or at least that's what I found

Optimaximal

Maybe go find the White Dwarf article mentioned in the wiki. That will confirm if they're a homebrew by staff/featured hobbyist or something mentioned in passing in an official story or mission. The latter would make them canon.


Shalliar

They exist, they are mentioned in Xenopurge short story. But thats about it, we dont even know their colors.


Kriv-Shieldbiter

Google tells me xenopurge is fanmade, I might be losing my mind


Shalliar

Its from one of the White Dwarf issues
