HORUS HERESY: SOLAR AUXILIA BATTLEGROUP
The Solar Auxilia is one of the many factions within the expansive Horus Heresy setting of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe. They represent a highly disciplined and well-equipped human military force that served the Imperium of Man during the Great Crusade era, which precedes the galaxy-spanning conflict known as the Horus Heresy.
In the context of the tabletop wargame, Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness, the Solar Auxilia are a playable faction known for their elite infantry, armored vehicles, and reliance on advanced technology. Players can field Solar Auxilia units alongside other factions, such as the Space Marines or the Imperial Army, to recreate battles from the Horus Heresy storyline.
A "Battlegroup" in this context likely refers to a collection of Solar Auxilia units that can be deployed together on the tabletop. These Battlegroups would typically include a variety of infantry squads, support units, and vehicles, forming a cohesive force that can engage in battle against opposing armies.
The exact composition of a Solar Auxilia Battlegroup can vary depending on the preferences of the player and the specific ruleset being used. However, typical units that might be found in a Solar Auxilia Battlegroup could include:
- Infantry: Veteran infantry squads armed with powerful lasguns and supported by special weapons like flamers or grenade launchers.
- Vehicles: Armored transports such as the Dracosan or the Triaros Armoured Conveyor, which can ferry troops across the battlefield while providing fire support.
- Support Units: These might include artillery pieces like the Medusa or Tarantula Sentry Guns, which can provide long-range firepower to support the advance of the infantry.
- Special Characters: Named characters and officers who provide unique bonuses or abilities to the Battlegroup, such as Lord Marshal Karros or Centurion Deacon Ryza.
Overall, a Solar Auxilia Battlegroup offers players the opportunity to command a formidable force of well-trained soldiers and advanced war machines as they battle for the fate of the Imperium during the turbulent times of the Horus Heresy.
