They claim to be scions of the Salamander Chapter, which is dubious to say the least. If one thing is certain, their gene-seed has degenerated and is extremely flawed, the current generation of their chapter is the last to be able to merge with the Black Carapace. Most of their number are made up of failed serfs, not entirely astartes, but not wholly human either.Sometime in the distant past, the chapter attempted to correct this with the help of a radical group of Adeptus Biologis. This attempt left them more mutated then they were before, developing thick scales, wide jaws with rows of sharp teeth and even some grew tails. A savage hunger grips them, craving flesh like none other, seeing fallen enemies as enticing meals. Many were horrified by this result and fled into their dark jungle, becoming feral as the wild beasts that stalked it swamps. The courageous and the stoic, while surprised, remained in the fortress monastery, carrying on their duty in secret, serving the Emperor still with fervor. None remove their helmets in the presence of others and only the resident Biologis know of the truth.The Bayou Warriors are proficient in guerrilla combat, striking from unseen quarters to exploit weaknesses in enemy positions. They are a very mobile force, preferring bikes and landspeeders as their main combat vehicles. Few of their Rhinos are equipped with grav-lifters, making them excellent assault vehicles, gliding over hostile terrain (such as the swamps of their homeworld.Their single claim to fame came not from one of their battle brothers, but from their serfs, Humble Brocius. He was instrumental in eradicating the Qeevoth , a sinister species that hunted through heat. They would pick off the marines due to their nuclear power packs, strangely leaving Brocius alone. He discovered their secret, using their heat vision to his advantage by covering himself in mud, becoming invisible to them. One by one, year by year, he hunted and killed every single Qeevoth on their homeworld. When he was later picked up by a strike cruiser, he nuked them from orbit, just to be sure.
