Solar Auxilia Faction Review: Army Rules

In this video, I tell you all about the Solar Auxilia Army Rules in Horus Heresy: The Age of Darkness. I walk through their unique Tercio rules and the other army rules that represent their close-formation style of fighting as well as all of their Cohort Doctrines that you can use to build flavourful and powerful forces!

Im really enjoying all your content, I've linked your channel. It's just so good, level headed, informative, insightful. Brilliant stuff. I'm using a lot of your thoughts on my current build.

Propper grim dark that they use tercios. (Just like in the civil war) Cromwell the castellan 🤣

[thesampsonite]

Loved this review! Often watched your videos multiple as they are so useful! Looking forward to the rest my good dude! Keep up the great work!

I'd love to see people conversions for feral and penal.

[LanternBearer]

Yes! I didn't expect to get it, but now it's here. I can't wait for the other parts of the Solar Auxilia Review.
Will they get release over the next days? Or will you sprinkle them in between other content?

Is there no heavy support video, theyve been fantastic but got to get my tread head on

[Lyki]

The way I understood Armored Fist, is that you could have a single squadron in a troops choice. Which means you could have 3 Leman Russ within that squadron and if you are going max unit allocation, you could have 4 Strike Squadrons in your troops, 3 in your Heavy Support, and the Command tank.

solar aux ultra pattern at full 20 sections and 10 command is 130 lads, id though medics in two

[danielbroderick]

Im making a traitor guard army for 40k so i think ill use the solar rules for this!

Looking to make an armoured fist cohort of 10 leman russes

The idea of doing an Iron Pattern Cohort really gets me going but whew the idea of paying for it at forgeworld made my wallet leap out of my back pocket & try to strangle me. On the other hand, if Forgeworld's greatest models aren't Edgar's S's Solar Auxilia guys they are the 30k Mechanicum models...

[guilliman]

Just FYI im actually building an ultima patarn force using red makers cult files my current body count is 120. Plan is 240

[Donkas]

Any chance of a superheavy review with the book and legacy units?

[lesbianmorgoth]

I really hope the militia and cults are better designed then these guys, but I don't have a whole lotta hope lmao.

Great video, regardless!

[Kmwildride]

Would love a Solar Aux army but the game seems full of ap 4 and ap 5 weapons that sound like it would make it not that fun to run a list.

[daikikiyo]

A wondering: Do you think they'll make plastics for this faction? With how expensive the current models are ($135/20 models), it's an untenable army to field with official models...

So, if you already have mountains of Astra
