Brother Vidius Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'm doing a Terran regiment aligned to the Imperial Fists that accompanied Sigismund and Camba-Diaz to Mars!

Reyner Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Mine will likely be Ultramar based SA - works well with my planned armies :P Calth survivors, Polux and his surviving fists from the Contrador battle and meatshields allies for my loyalist Iron Warriors. Hehe. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301859-so-whose-doing-solar-auxilia/page/2/#findComment-3918025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 "Solar Auxillia" is a funny way to spell "bullet sponge". Technically it's on my list of things, making my Death Korps as stand-ins. Of course my Korps have been in the "I have a Chimera and nowt else" stage since 2012.

Marshal Rohr Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'm saving the Krieg for the normal auxilia list that is supposed to come with the Calth book. The SA models are beautiful and I've got some interesting conversions planned for them.

heron Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I have to admit I jumped right on them, mainly because they seemed like ideal allies for Questoris Knights (i.e. lots of bodies potentially packed into each force org slot), but I could see swapping them and having the knights be the allies. So far, I have one veletaris section and a lasrifle section. I like the part in the background that the SA are often part of Rogue Trader expeditions, so I have been modelling and building mine to reflect more of an explorator fleet contingent rather than a heavy tank army. I still want a Dracosan (or two), but I'm using my elites for techpriest auxillia and Thallax for the heavy support, with a few Arvus Lighters thrown in to really make it feel like a void-based force. Modelling is in progress for my Marshall, who I am buiding as a Rogue Trader captain. Still a little bit of clean up work to do, but I like how he came together. I should have him and the first veletaris section done soon.

Stormborn Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thinking about it, was hoping to use some dust tactics guys but as they're as tall than a terminator might look a bit odd. currenttly pondering if I could use SA to represent Squats in 30K. I'll have to keep an eye on my bits guys see what they have in the way of SA bits.

Millicant Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 The Solar Auxilia have been added to my long-term plan for my Heresy build-up. Specifically a void-based assault force to work with my various Zone Mortalis Astartes forces. I'll be adding in some Thunderbolts (one is about to commence painting) and Arvus Lighters. As an added bonus, the aircraft will act as excellent terrain pieces for my Zone Mortalis hangar bay.

God-Potato of Mankind Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I caved like a Chilean mine at Warhammer Fest and immediately bought a Lasrifle section. They're still sitting in their bag. I'm wary of how teensy they are compared to the various Legion forces I've been assembling :D Plus I have no idea what colour to go for. They will be, of course, accompanying my Salamanders though. I just do not want to do green for them, I want them to contrast with my Sallies. I guess a purpley-pink Auxilia would be proper contrast, maybe dark purple fatigues.

Emperor's Furor Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 I can't decide whether to have the bayonets on their back, the lasrifles or just leave them off.

God-Potato of Mankind Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I'd suggest attaching a secondary lasgun underneath. Stormlasguns. Why do the Astartes get to double-up on their guns and not us mortals??
