All of the other Heresy transfers are, plus not appearing on the pre-order form I think pretty much confirms they are.

Urauloth Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Huh. That Spireguard colour scheme is the exact red and ivory the Auxilia models in the Crusade black book are painted in, which I assumed were Nightwatch. I wonder if we'll get an official colour scheme for them in the next batch... I hope so. Other than that, these all look great. Love the way the tanks look in these plates.

The "Old Hundred" are specifically named as Imperial Army Regiments which is NOT what the Solar Auxilia are. I can't see these two things being conflated when they are there to be utilised as separate lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightSilver Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Wonky instructions aside, now I have the models in hand, the kits are really lovely. Although the bayonets look like they will last about 10 seconds in a regular carry case..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I figure if my rifle section finds itself in combat it's unlikely to live long enough to use them anyway. Built the aethon today. Was sceptical when looking at the parts but turned out to be a nice build. Looking forward to doing the second now.

utahraptor232 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The boxes are here! Only built a single Russ turret so far but I can confirm its a tight fit and a very nice build. Will be providing a height comparison with some (actually upright standing) Krieg and Cadians in the coming days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had snippets of Arkadian iconagraphy from as far back as when Solar Aux were first introduced in Conquest. 1ncarnadine 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrindur Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 (edited) Sprue pics (only the new ones): LR Assault tank sprue (others are the same as the Strike version) Spoiler Malcador (other sprues are the same as the Dracosan and the LR front weapon sprue) Spoiler Velataris Storm Section Spoiler The Velatari sprues are completely split between bodies on one sprue and weapons on the other which screams Vanguard Section with Rotor cannons and Flamers in the future to me. Also maybe an upgrade sprue for Velataris Command Sections?

utahraptor232 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 34 minutes ago, Matrindur said: Velataris Storm Section Beautiful sprues! Finally, some good axes to admire! On another note, I've so far built one Russ and one Legate mockup, headswap is imminent. Importantly I was well prepped with Standard and Thin Tamiya cement and an X-Acto knife, this could've been way different with Citadel glue in a needle. , The Russ an incredible kit, everything locked together nigh perfectly, and enough gaps only to count on one hand. Maybe half a hand. The tracks were a slog, not much more than your standard Russ, but a slog. I am a youngin with good eyes and good hands and there were lots of little pieces where I could tell "If I had any less steady hands this would be a nightmare". Everything was keyed but it was still a bit nerve-wracking sometimes, be warned especially if you're an older hobbyist. The Legate on the other hand was dreadful, and it makes me a bit scared doing the rest of the infantry. Primarily, the shoulder pads are fiddly, even with indents in the armor for them. This may have been my bad due to not clipping enough of them away to fit properly, and also the pose as you can see, but they were still small and unwieldy. I would highly recommend tweezers along with your basic Warhammering supplies if you get this box. Otherwise, great kits, great scale, great looks, will be excited to get these on the table. skylerboodie, Noserenda, El_Dicko and 1 other 2 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Yeah I built a sergeant the other day and I used tweezers for the shoulder pads. I half considered just leaving them off. How are people planning to build their infantry for painting? I’m really agonising over it haha. I dunno whether to just fully build them because part of me really can’t be bothered with sub assemblies on infantry like this, but I dunno if I’ll really regret it when I come to paint them. Or whether to leave the arms off. Nice to see the axes for the Velataris Section do actually exist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd planned on leaving them and the helmets off to paint separately. If they're a pain to fit I'd probably rather do that before there's a risk of ruining a paint job...

Fire Golem Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 The only pic I’ve seen of the Veletari with axes, from Vincent Knotley’s bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/vincentknotley.bsky.social/post/3koe653peet2x They look good I think, probably better than with the guns. skylerboodie, Noserenda, Marshal Mittens and 6 others 1 8 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corswain Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Sooooo...... none of them are up for pre-order in Australia - did I miss something? The community article doesn't say anything about delays that I can see. No * like usual. Not next to any Heresy stuff anyway. Edit: Todays pre-order article states delayed. Something must have changed in the week between article releases. Edited March 23 by Corswain Update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just hitting my fellows with a coat of grey seer and getting Leadbelcher on the armor, then doing the rest of the detail work. Heads might be worth leaving off but that looks to be about it, nothing else would be particularly hard to reach. I did put the tracks on my Russ after all, so why not? I think if you can get them vaguely socketed into their little hole and lying on top of the arms, which will be easy with most poses, they should be fine and secure. It was that pose with the lifted arm that gave me particular trouble, and that was my fault again. Fire Golem 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly, oddly goofy. I showed some friends my 20 current axelads this morning as they were talking these previewed lads over. "Look how they massacred my boys. Those heads, dude, my god." was the first unsolicited joke from one of said buds.

utahraptor232 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Built my first sprue of Lasriflemen to completion, and I have a few more thoughts and pieces of advice to share: 1. I walked into it planning to have to write down the "real" numbering for each rifle arm, and I thankfully didn't get far. The first two I did I marked down and the rest were correctly numbered. Arms fit nicely, and so did pretty much everything else. 2. Shoulder pads still are a pain. I took them one at a time still, making sure they had a connection to the arms. Right now the full models are in the drying process so we'll see how it worked out, but it should be alright. 3. Looooots of overlap and complex parts, enough to scare me a little bit thinking about painting. Starting from a basecoat in the voidsuit color and working up seems to be the way to go, going over the armor in your armor color and so on and so forth. Working down from armor to voidsuits would be wayyyy too much of a hassle. Loquille, skylerboodie and Aarik 2 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Do we think the chances are pretty good of getting the Aurox in plastic? I figure probably, but I’m a little bit worried that they’ve started teasing Mechanicum already, maybe there isn’t much left for Solar Auxilia.

Marshal Rohr Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 The only things left for Solar Auxilia are the Aurox, Vanguard, Carnodons (maybe), Malcador Weapons tanks, Rapiers, and Ogryns. That’s a decent amount of trickle releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
