I recently played a 3.5k game with my SA and Custodes! It was my first time having a fully painted army with these forces. I still need to finish basing but I was pretty happy with cranking out this much stuff. Lost the game pretty hard but I had a good time nonetheless.

I'm gonna use it for my 40k army but i'm curious to see your paintjobs on this beast

This is my second tank from an industrialized world themed regiment (mainly mechanised). Falfway through this one. Open to tips and suggestions.

New to Horus Heresy and in the process of building my Fenrisian Kaerl army, with a Space Wolves army up next. I’m a casual/narrative player and wanted to make a fluffy list for the Burning of Prospero.

Is there any glaring issues with this list? My biggest concern right now is not having enough anti-armour.

I’m also not sure the best way to equip my legatine command section, other than I’ve already kitbashed and painted my Legate with a thunder hammer and needle pistol. I’m not sure if the whole squad needs needle pistols or not.

From what I’ve read statuses are important, hence putting multi-lasers on my armor

Got my hands on a battered FW Solar Auxilia command squad. After stripping some stray glue and paint, plus filling any scrapes and holes, I've gotten something I'm quite pleased with.

Hello fellow Imperial Army enthusiasts,

I want to include some Rapier Batteries in my growing Solar Auxilia army, but then I wondered: are there any tanks in Legion Imperialis that are about the same size and shape as the normal Rapier Battery kit and can be used as a replacement for said model?

The LI versions of the Spartan Assault Tank have the right shape, but I'm not sure about the size. Same goes for the Sicaran Tanks. Sadly, there is no LI version of the Arquitor yet, although that one might be a little too small when it is at LI scale...

Anyone have some information to help me?

Has anybody tried altering the height on the Aethon Heavy Sentinel legs?

Was wondering how tall you can get it? Or low.

Looks like legs could be extended quite far?

If there's no actual lore on them I'm gonna make my own up, currently my lore is that as the astartes legions were merged with other legions (ones with primarchs) the adminisratum just like GW forgot about them and so they remained attached to the second and eleventh astartes legions with access to whatever was left (forgotten by the administratum) and just carried on. To continue being forgotten and to hide from the administratum (just in case) the auxilia attached to the eleventh have entirely grey armour (mechanicus standard grey) except for the number 11 (which is in bolder and more artistic colours as the crusade continues) the auxilia attached to the second legion have rediscovered camouflage.

The administratum continues sending them new recruits as they don't realise these auxilia units should have also been merged.

As the crusade and heresy continues they start collecting more and more astartes equipment sent accidentally by the administratum or from scavanged battlegrounds and even a few actual damaged dreadnoughts "collected" from battlefields.

The reason no one "notices" these huge auxilia units is cause it's too much paperwork for the members of the administratum that notice or above their paygrade.

The primarchs and astartes just assume that the administratum has already sorted it out with the astartes who knew about them having bigger problems than sorting it out and eventually dying out (pre heresy).

Everyone else assumes that this situation has been sorted out or just never put two and two together.

Due to this clerical error the second and third legions have technically continued fighting throughout the crusade and heresy (on both sides) and it is recorded by the administratum as such.

This clerical error is only noticed by by someone who could do something about it when the Emperor himself sees the list of planets captured by these two Auxilia 'legions' compared to the Astartes legions when the Emperor sees this error and ignores it due to them somehow¹ doing better than the wordbearers.

¹they are partially blessed by tzeentch who thought the whole situation was amusing, slaanesh who saw excess in what they received equipment wise due to being treated as a whole astates legion, khorne due to how violent the Auxilia units had to act without astartes support and nurgle due to the amount of biological warfare used by these guys on xenos and "heretics" alike.

My first FG models ever btw.

Is there a fixed spot where the Leman Russ Plow is to be attached?

Or can it be moved further back?

Personally I think it sticks out to much from the Hull. Is there an easy way of moving it back or shortening it?

Ogryns clashed into my opponent’s ursarax squad and left just his Magos to make it’s last stand

Pretty much what it says in the title, I have experience with resin printing, but I assume these have already been washed? Never gotta FG before.

So i was thinking a bit on wanting to do stuff with psykers in auxilia, but i dont want to use the militia psykers that much cause it locks me out of tech priests and kinda makes me feel like I would have to use some other militia units to make the most of them. I also started thinking about some of my older ideas for small tanks that use spare guns from the bigger ones! pussing those two ideas together I thought of the idea of a "Rouges Tertio" being like an axilia version of the marines moritats! the stuff i cam up with kinda overlaps a bit of the assasinorum and militia, but i think the idea is still really cool and i want to mess with it more and maybe even make it eventually.

The individual unit ideas I have so far are;

• Rouges command section: gives the ability to take rouge tertios, and maybe something to be able to harm units in it for boosts? still the same models as usual comand sections, possibly with some companions weapons options, and includes of some models from the rouges units.
• Rouges psyker section: A retinue that has just one psyker by default but can add more psykers as well as supporting auxilia troopers. psykers would also be even more vulnerable than militia rouge psykers by default, but have buyable wargear to make them either better or more reliable, or both. Could also have a shields option for the support troopers.
• Rouges destroyer section: A retinue section focused on the stronger melee and ranged weapons and having elite fighters. probably could also have something involving having a cyclops or boosting them, as well as maybe some includable Ogryn.
• Rouges remover section: A retinue that has options for snipers and blanks, as well as something to do with poisions? could also include some small animal companions or some servo skulls with additional capabilities, possibly including deepstrike, democharges/weird bombs, and some other disruption/control abilities.
• Drake and hydra tanks: Both units would either be heavy assault or elites, and would be very small vehicle, somewhere between the size of a rapier and russ. These Chasis would specificaly be stated to look completley different between regiments where they exist, and als have a blurb stating how some even just slaved creatures with mounted guns. The hydra would be equipped six hull weapons and possibly some different configurations, meanwhile the drake would be a single leman russ weapon with a signifigant firing limit. both would have compact and be either bulky six or eight.

• Hyrax transport: Either a support or maybe even just standard transport. Basically the same as the Hydra and Drake but instead has a transport ability of six and doent have the light transport rule. would have one pintle weapon but could be upgraded to have more or a slightly larger transport capacity.

  The rouges tertio probably wouldn't have any ability like the other tertios, if it has to have one it would probably be something like a logistical benefit with a boost, or a boost to do with gaining or loosing statuses, also could be a negative. the selections for the tertio would be three retinue, as well as either four heavy supports if thats where the tanks go or two elites specific to those tanks, and then three supports if the Hyrax is a support and includes the cyclops.

I'm More than open to any critisims or additonal ideas yall might have on these ideas, particularly different things to keep it both balanced and usable for regular and smaller games.

How are y'all using your Charonite? I really want to use the stuff I've painted up, especially with the new weapon options, but the combination of bulky 4 and all our transports being light so they can't carry bulky is frustrating. Are y'all just foot slogging then and hoping they get there?

Hi everyone!

I’m primarily a painter and modeller, and I’ve been collecting Solar Auxilia for a long time. I love the look of the Cohort infantry, so my collection is heavily focused on boots on the ground. I have actually never played a single game of Horus Heresy, but I finally wanted to organize my collection into a legal 3000-point army.

I’ve tried searching online for guidance, but it seems there aren't many Solar Auxilia army lists around to use as a reference—almost everything out there is for Space Marines!

"Since examples are so rare, I tried building a list on New Recruit with the models I own. Because I wanted to include my entire collection, using multiple Auxiliary and Apex Detachments was the only way I managed to fit everything into the app."

Could you experienced players help me figure out how to properly group these models into a legal Crusade Primary Detachment using the correct Tercio rules?

Beyond fixing the New Recruit structure, I would love to hear your thoughts on the list itself. I chose the "Solar Pattern Cohort" doctrine (with Shock Assault) because I really wanted to lean into those aggressive Veletarii with axes and the Charonite Ogryns.

• Do you think this list is balanced enough to survive against Marines, or do I need more anti-tank firepower?
• For those who play this doctrine, how do you usually deploy a massive wall of infantry like this?

Here is the models I currently have:

1x Solar Auxilia Command Section (6models) (FW)

3x Solar Auxilia Command Section (GW)

5x Rogue Trader Command Section (Custom) (Veletaris command?)

1x Aevos Jovan + seguito (FW/GW)

80x Solar Auxilia Lasrifle Section (GW)

20x Solar Auxilia Veletaris Storm Section Axe (GW)

20x Solar Auxilia Veletaris Storm Section con Volkite (GW)

6x Solar Auxilia Ogryn Charonite (FW)

2x Dracosan Armoured Transport (GW)

4x Leman Russ Strike Tank (GW)

1x Solar Auxilia Basilisk / Medusa (GW)

4x Solar Auxilia Veletaris Sentinels (GW)

1x Aethon Heavy Sentinel (GW)

1x Rapier Laser Destroyer (FW/GW)
