It looks like it's 10 euros more, so it may be the same price/slightly higher, depending on region. As @darkhorse0607mentioned, if the US price list is accurate, then it's the same price in USD, and may be the same for Canada/Australia/etc. Edited February 26 by WrathOfTheLion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matcap86 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) So sprue shots on the new article: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/02/26/solar-auxilia-kit-focus-building-the-finest-human-infantry-in-the-galaxy/ Confirms just 5 bodies it seems which isn't great. Also our first look at the backpack which is a hefty downgrade in detail from the original resin ones. Seems like they took inspiration from the Genestealer Neophytes on this one. Jam packed with extra bits though. And the command group. Which is not a seperate unit but an upgrade sprue. Also explicitly stating that's where you get a Legate from: Edited February 26 by Matcap86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcomet Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Good that they downgraded the detail. Xanthous and Lazarine 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahraptor232 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Disappointing that the sprue is for both Tactical and Line Command sections, I was hoping for a fancier-looking Tactical command at a later date. Otherwise, the sprues look great, love to see that the Blast Charger attachments are separate, and a good few swords to pick from.

Fire Golem Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Honestly I’m a little bit nervous about painting these even with the downgraded detail. MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noserenda Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I quite like how much they are overcompensating for the weird lack of Bolt pistols with soooo many pistols on these sprues :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matcap86 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I'm only now realising why the new plastics are throwing me off sillhoutte wise: They added a lamp to one shoulder and removed the reinforced ridge on one side making a much more asymetrical look. I do hope that's an optional bit or easily removable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Marshal Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) So they finally made their minds up about it being a dual-kit for both Line Command and Tactical Command. I have to say, I'm surprised. I think the kit works fine for a- well, Line Command Section, but it is a notable downgrade from the resin kit, especially the Legate/Lord Marshal. I know sacrifices were inevitable going from resin to plastic, but the resin Tactical Command just oozed character and with their lack of talking about it being a dual-kit until now, I fully expected a standalone plastic Tactical Command which more closely resembled the resin one. You: The Guy She Tells You Not To Worry About: Worth mentioning they've referenced a new unit coming in Bacon-Gammon at the bottom of the article, "you can also promote them to a personal Lifeward Section, entrusted with the Legate Marshal’s safety (and their spare weapons). You’ll soon find rules for these personal protectors in The Battle for Beta-Garmon." How exactly these guys are meant to differ from a Companion Section is anyone's guess.

WS5/BS5, Retinue and Cohort Vexilia/Command Vox? its the tac-com section, without any of the gear they can take, quite dissapointing, as for lifewards, i'm guessing its probably a retinue which will be just a companion squad, possible with more weapon choices, but otherwise the exact same, I'm not expecting much.

Marshal Rohr Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) If the command section is meant to represent Tactical and Line Command Sections that a huge kick in the balls. Unless there is a special weapon sprue coming for the companion options it’s pretty useless. On the bright side the weird magazine nutsacks are optional!
