Salamanders (or Barbed Razordons) and their handlers fight in mixed units as Skirmishers. In close combat, the Salamanders (or Barbed Razordons) always form the first rank, with the handlers formed up behind. The unit may not be joined by characters.

Missile hits and impact hits are randomised as follows: roll a D6, 1-4 hits a Salamander (or Barbed Razordon), 5-6 hits a handler.

Although the Salamanders (or Barbed Razordons) are not classed as Monsters, if all the Skink Handlers are slain, then the remaining Salamanders (or Barbed Razordons) must take a Leadership test, and if this is failed, roll on the Monster Reaction table.
