So why do the Salamanders have little to no confirmed successor

Literally niggers.

>>54871403
I was under the impression there were issues with aspirants literally growing scales and other scaly mutations

>>54871403
because they are a borderline literally who chapter but aren't even who's enough to be the choice of contrarians

>standard successor: ultramarine
>standard successor but less mary sue: imperial fist
>I want to be prettier successor: blood angels
>I want the dark angels but with different colour successor: dark angels
>I want my successor to not be like the others: raven guard

Isn't there geneseed secound worst from usual ones? Only worse is space wolfs (Which is sad as salamancers are only nice space marine chapter)

/tg/ literally worships them, so they're plenty popular.

The (new) lore explanation is that the one famous successor they had was quashed due to [REDACTED] and even now they keep that secret locked away. Also, Istvaan 5 victim legions generally suffered from jobber syndrome and GW neglect.

Even since the Istvaan evening in Horus Heresy, they lost a lot of marines so that they could't afford to form successor chapters.

It don't help that their recruting method is pretty slow (Because they must also learn craftmanship that also take time).

this question could be asked for the iron hands and white scars also.
