The Vindicator Anvil of Prometheus and Predator Nocturne are frequently deployed in support of the the 4th Company, and have been used by Vulkan He’Stan’s expeditionary forces on a number of engagements.

Anvil of Prometheus has been lovingly maintained by its crew for generations, and the magma-and-salamander emblem on its siege shield is meticulously repainted after every battle.

Nocturne is the preferred chariot of Honored Forge-Brother Kro’Nes, the 4th Company’s chief techmarine.  Not content to sit on the sidelines, Kro’Nes is famous for leading his tank column directly into the heart of battle. Nocturne is a sort of legend among the Salamanders, having been crippled on the battlefield a score of times, and each time revived by Kro’Nes and his techmarines.  Kro’Nes is also notorious for leaping from his stricken vehicle to engage enemy forces hand-to-hand rather than allow them to further ruin his beloved Predator.  Despite the amount of firepower it has absorbed, Nocturne is rebuilt and repainted, returning like a phoenix again and again.
