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.

    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?

    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.

    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...

    Also nothing to shoot back with. So yeah its a no fun army unless you go for hordes of infantry, which can be strong but again painting 200 bodies is not that appealing.
