FW Solar Auxilia

That transport looks cool, I gather the Solar Auxilia are a specific "part" of the Imperial Army so there should definitely be other styles being realised eventually :)

Kierdale... Thank I for the front pic of the basi. I already wanted one but that sealed it. The new transport... I'm selling my chimeras as soon as it come out to get 2!!!!

I've gotta say the old new troops are not moving my wallet into the firing position. Perhaps some of the special weapons for a vet or CCS trooper.

I too hope for some other infantry designs in the future. As I believe WarriorFish said, some reminiscent of the RT era IG would be much appreciated. Cadians are close, but not quite.

The vehicles, however, are very nice indeed!

I quite like the Solar Auxillia, but then again, I'm  a big fan of steam punk. I think it's a fitting look for 30k and I have no problems whatsoever with a throwback to 2nd edition IG aesthetic. I also think it is always a good thing to have more variety available for Guard players.

 

That said, I'm not rushing out to get them, but nor am I rushing out to get anything Forgeworld these days. I hadn't realized how much the British Pound has increased in value as compared to the Canadian dollar until I made an (abortive) attempt at making a Forgeworld purchase recently. The cost of buying Forgeworld stuff has gotten WAY out of hand. Glad I bought my Death Korps when I did, but that force shan't be added to. Once my DKoK stuff is all painted all future purchases will be Scions and Blood Angels.
