WolfLogic Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 If you were given the ability to make GW/FW create a new Fast Attack option for the Solar Auxilia what would you come up with and why do you think it fits with the army? My personal thought is a Legion Outrider Squad equivalent or a 2 to 3 man ATV that fields heavy weapons. I’m not sure what weapon options it would have besides plasma guns and maybe melta guns. I’m not sure Bolters would fit even though it would make more sense than lasrifles or a multilaser Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377766-creating-a-solar-aux-fast-attack-option/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTrans Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Armoured Sentinels. Would love some form of heavily armoured Rough Rider squadron, but thats definitely wishlisthing.

OttoVonAwesome Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I'd go oldschool, really really old school Jetbikes and jump troops. Right back to Rogue Trader.

sarabando Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 mini sentinals/ rough rider hybrids 3-12 men on mechanical Ostridge style steeds Aarik 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377766-creating-a-solar-aux-fast-attack-option/#findComment-5916157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astartes Consul Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Completely off the wall / full creative freedom option? Grav Weapons Platforms. Something like the Eldar weapons platforms (do they still exist??) but obviously Imperial. A nod to the Solar Aux's status as an elite formation with historical links to the Solar System & Terra and therefore access to some Old Earth and pre-Imperial tech. Unique. Cool model. A bit more sensible? Scout Armour / Armour Cars. Designed on cut down Aurox or even Dracosan chassis, the same way a Sabre is a shrunken Sicaran Venetor. Or maybe something open-topped, like a Salamander but harder hitting and obviously styled differently.

Noserenda Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Sentinels or Landspeeders would probably be my first choice. That said some old school Guard jump troops with double pistols would be awesome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377766-creating-a-solar-aux-fast-attack-option/#findComment-5916169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Sutek Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Jetbikes or horses. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377766-creating-a-solar-aux-fast-attack-option/#findComment-5916598 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Mk I Landspeeder originally had a guard crew as an alternative model, I'd also give them Vincent Blackshadow bikes and Bullock jetbikes. Guard also had jump packs at one point.

Agramar_The_Luna_Wolf Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Jump infantry and/or Sentinel like unit(s). Another option, I think, is a fast vehicle, like an elysian tauros assault vehicle or a light tank. I don't see solar auxilia using gravitic vehicles like a Speeder. Too "expensive" for them.
