Yesterday,I found this article: "20 Horus Heresy Solar Auxilia Trooper Colour Schemes and Painting Recipes All In One Place", by Vicent Knotley, from his own blog. Quite interesting and useful I think. And very handy. Some schemes are really cool. Each image per Trooper and colour scheme . https://vincentknotley.wordpress.com/2024/03/02/20-horus-heresy-solar-auxilia-trooper-colour-schemes-and-painting-recipes-all-in-one-place/

Don't ask when they'll come out. Quite a redesign over the existing 40k ones, so fair to assume they might make the jump to 28mm too.

I was looking through the latest Legions Imperialis book, The Great Slaughter, and I noticed a rather neat looking Solar Auxilia variant of the Shadowsword. At first I thought it was an epic scale model, but the details are too crisp. There is also a slight panel gap showing you also get with the standard 40k Baneblade just above the left drive wheel. Looking for evidence if these had been mentioned before I also stumbled on the card pack for the Solar Aux, which looks like it has a 30k scale Solar Auxilia Baneblade on it and again the details don't match the released epic scale models. Have these been previewed already? Or are these teases hiding in plain sight?

Due to being off work a week for surgery I've caught up on some modeling Somewhat depressingly the infantry here are less than a third of the total in my 3000pt list aha. I'm now off to lazily build 7 whole stormcast models over a weekend

Allo Continuing on with the theme of my fiscal irresponsibility behold the siege breaker I have built. I don't run siege breakers and decided to build this on a whim. Unfortunately for me the parts needed included one arm from the Sons of horus weapon set. I don't play Sons of horus ended up buying the pack for one bit. He do be handsome tho I also received all the bases I need for my solar aux infantry

Allo It is well known and spoken of amongst the clouds above that I am not a smart man Many have described me as "upright" and "lacking in brain wrinkles" Perhaps as of a result of this I decided to buy into the solar aux and also buy fancy bases Luckily I am too empty thought to have worked out how much this will cost in the long wrong but considering there's 100 infantry I expect its going to be a bad time

Hi, newbie here. Been playing 40k for a while and starting HH, honestly with the mindset of the good old guard infantry horde platoons from 6th. Not planning to go to any tournaments, just for playing with friend semi-competitive. My vision for the army thanks to how Ultramar pattern works is a Napoleonic line force (rifle sections) supported by cannons (rapier batteries) with mechanised command and thunderbolts mainly for variety, but i've always been a fan of just fielding bodies en mass. I don't have any real 'plan' for the army, sprint in the first turn and then slow implacable march is my current theory but I have two main questions about the list I guess, first does it cover enough of the bases, i've no idea what an average amount of enemy tanks looks like or how most HH lists are built? Second I do want it to be enjoyable, so is there anything i'm using that strikes you as excessive or unfair? Thanks.
