A Salamanders army may be joined by Chaplain Xavier. If you take him then he counts as one of the HQ choices for the army. He must be used exactly as described below, and may not be given any additional equipment. He can only be used in a battle where both players have agreed to the use of special characters.
Wargear: Bolt pistol, crozius arcanum, rosarius, Terminator honours (bonus included above) and Vulkan's Sigil.
Special Rules
Vulkan's Sigil: Lord Vulkan, Primarch of the Salamanders, had a personal icon in the form of a blacksmith's hammer ("For he smote the Emperor's enemies as a hammer striking an anvil"). Vulkan's Sigil bears this icon and is said to have been carried by the Primarch himself as his badge of office. It is therefore a potent religious artefact for the Salamanders Chapter and counts as a holy relic. It affects all Salamanders Space Marines within 12" when it is revealed, instead of the normal 2D6".
Independent Character: Unless accompanied by a Command squad, Xavier is an independent character and follows the Independent Character special rules in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
Command Squad: Xavier may be accompanied by a Command squad, see the special entry in the army list. Note that Xavier and his Command squad count as a single HQ choice.
