GrandMagnus Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hi, I was just wondering if there are any news about the Imperial Army for the Horus Heresy? Or will the Solar Auxiliary be the equivalent? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297975-any-news-on-the-imperial-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Solar Auxilia is the Imperial Army for 30k. At least its the Imperial Army found around the Solar System.

Anvilarium Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Solar Auxilia is the Imperial Army for 30k. At least its the Imperial Army found around the Solar System. Thats not entirely true.. The Solar Auxilia are aggressive explorers whose remit is bringing planets into the Imperium through conquest. They are based on the Conquisitors / 19th Century Colonial armies who enter an area and secure "peace through superior firepower". The Solar Auxilia are led by individuals whose whole intent is to be made hereditary governors of the planet they conquer - they are often Terran nobles but could equally be Rogue Traders. The soldiers themselves are Terran scum. Often the Solar Auxilia have their own Exploratory fleets but may be attached to Legion forces. So theres a number of differences between the Solar Auxilia and your standard Crusade-era Imperial Guard.

Russ Brother 92 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 By the gist we've been getting from the FW team is that aside from the SA we may well have difinitive models and rules for at least a few other Human-based armies (Propserine Spireguard, Regiments of Ultramar, Word Bearer's aligned cultists etc.) and also the possibilty (though may be less likely to get specific models for these) of a generic 'Imperial Army' list.

depthcharge12 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Lol the Solar Auxilia pretty much sounds like the USMC of today... To quote Wellington: "They are the scum of the earth, but what fine soldiers they make!"
