GhostMalone Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 So I thought I'd be the first solar auxilia log for this forum. http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-11-12162322_zps1645fcd0.jpg http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-11-12162200_zpscba2fa82.jpg the start of a new project Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299171-the-214th-expedition-fleet-solar-auxilia/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostMalone Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 They're actually a pretty simple yet solid set to build, my one and only complaint is its not a highly versatile kit and conversions for the rank and file are limited.

I will be a close follower of this.

GhostMalone Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 How limited ? out of curiosity . Each figure has a designated Las rifle and there's only 2 sprue for hands which are for the vox and squad Sgt. Can't really mix n match unless you completely carve out an arm and re sculpt. Hopefully they release a command squad and the flamer vol kite kits have extra Armour so won't look right on the Las section Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299171-the-214th-expedition-fleet-solar-auxilia/#findComment-3860911 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemon2027 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hmm, was hoping to mix in some other 'guard' kits like Death Korp and Vostroyan (yeah I'm setting myself up for some trouble with the Vostroyans) to make some really distinct regiments.

The big thing is the hands are like industrial gloves bolted onto the cuffs bare hands don't really size up but it's worth a try. I'll post the rest of the minis as they are built. Next up is my navigator Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299171-the-214th-expedition-fleet-solar-auxilia/#findComment-3860952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'm sure I will figure it out. Looking forward to seeing the navigator. What's the paint scheme going to be on the SA?

GhostMalone Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Dark bronze copper for Armour fatigues will be a light olive and gloves boots most likely leather Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299171-the-214th-expedition-fleet-solar-auxilia/#findComment-3860982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Sweet sounds cool. Can't decided if I should go for camo with mine of black and grey spec op style.
