WarriorFish Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 It's time for this topic to return again as FW is back again with more Solar Auxilia treats! Solar Auxilia Veletaris - volkites and reinforced void armour, seems like they're sort of veterans. Extra bonus points for the name :P Solar Auxilia Leman Russ Incinerator - twin-linked volkite demi-culverin goes pyew pyew pyew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 * Martian Death Rays don't go pew per pew. It's more exotic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cod Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Either way these do look very nice. Very nice indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Ooooh, new Leman Russ! That cannon would make a great counts-as Executioner if nothing else. I don't know the rules for the Volkite weapon it has, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I can't help but think of the Dead Space games when I see the vets. They, along with the tank, look amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Ooooh, new Leman Russ! That cannon would make a great counts-as Executioner if nothing else. I don't know the rules for the Volkite weapon it has, though. I too know nothing of volkites. I was thinking it could be a counts-as Eradicator, but an Executioner would be cool too.

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I love those Solar Auxilia models. Would make awesome carapace vets. Alas no $ and no time. Maybe in 5-10 years when my Scions and BA are done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guinness drinking dwarf Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Dam you FW, just when I'm trying to cut down on my resin/plasic crack habbit!!!! I have always wanted a guard element to support my wolves, and with these new models it could be the start to a beautiful friendship. (until the wife finds out, haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger9gamer Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Ooooh, new Leman Russ! That cannon would make a great counts-as Executioner if nothing else. I don't know the rules for the Volkite weapon it has, though. basically it's a 5 shot battle cannon that is ap5 BUT it's twin linked and any unsaved wounds it causes generate extra wounds (so 3 unsaved wounds = 3 more rolls to wound on the unit. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 That sounds very potent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 According to t'internet, it's S7 AP5, with about 5 shots and also being Twin-Linked, it seems to basically be a better Exterminator with a fun rule for a few extra Wounds on hordes. Still think the Eradicator or Punisher are better anti-Horde weapons. Also it has a freaky 45" range, breaking the "multiples of 6" rule." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 This weapon is an affront to the Omnissiah with it's breaking of the sacred rule of 6! No wonder it didn't survive into the 41st Millennium :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking no, but it could be fun. Unfortunately, it is only the first set of unsaved wounds that cause another automatic hit. Consecutive unsaved wounds from that do not cause more hits. But still, the ability to destroy a ten man squad without super cheesy weapons is too hard to resist. VOLKITES FOR THE VOLKITE GOD!!! Oh and I hear that lord Marshalls are the bees knees. Any tips on running them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Another update from FW, a flamer section if you missed the announcement: Solar Auxila Flamer Section. They look dynamic and should be quite potent on the table top with so many flamers. Looks like the Auxilia is shaping up quite well! I wonder what's next? Perhaps a plasma section or something different? I'm hoping for some additions that could function well in existing Guard armies but we shall see!

CoffeeGrunt Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 The idea of a group of 10 Plasma Gun-wielding Guardsmen tearing apart Riptides fills me with pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There won't be a plasma section if they are just building everything from Conquest unfortunately. To look forward to you have a Velatari Storm Squad with power axes and another Storm Squad with rotor cannons (look awesome but not great stat wise rotors). After that you have the cybernetically augmented Ogryns :P with power claws that can grant instant kill when you roll a 6 to hit (think the enemy has to fail a toughness test or something) and after that there isn't much left infantry wise other than the Command Section and a Lord Marshal.

WarriorFish Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Oh well, maybe the Ogryns might be interesting but I'm sure there will be more Guard stuff in the future too :) Velatari better be awesome models with a name like that though!

Reyner Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 The Veletaris (spelling wrong, my bad) are already out: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/SOLAR_AUXILIA_VELETARIS_STORM_SECTION.html They are the heavier guys with the martian death rays - It'll be cool to see the power axe versions though :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I was hoping they might look a little like their namesakes, I'm disappointed now I see they're guys with guns. Thanks Reyner, I have no choice but to send you to 3 months hard labour for making a Commissar sad. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them without pity or remorse :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
