Salamanders Forgefather Backpacks

Every squad looks different from behind, and that is where a backpack swap does most of its work. These are power-armour backpacks sculpted in the idiom of the Sons of Vulkan, a Chapter of artisan-soldiers as much at home at the anvil as on the firing line, whose wargear tends to carry the marks of the forge. The register is heavy and hand-worked rather than parade-issue: kit that looks maintained by the warrior wearing it instead of handed out from a depot. They are conversion parts first and foremost, a way to lift a unit of generic proxy marines out of the box-standard silhouette, or to single out the one model who keeps everyone else's armour running. Anyone assembling a fire-themed 28mm force, kitbashing across ranges, or quietly replacing a backpack lost to the carpet will find a use for them.
