The Solar Auxilia is an elite fighting force that relies on the weight of numbers, both in infantry and heavy armour assets, to grind their opponents down. Their equipment and fittings are as well suited to fighting in the void of space as they are on planet surfaces, fully sealed against the environment, no matter how harsh.

If you want to hold the line to protect the Emperor or join the march to overthrow him, this box is the perfect way to start a new Solar Auxilia collection – or expand an existing army – and save money compared to buying the kits individually. You'll find a Lasrifle Section, excellent at holding objectives and controlling the battlefield with numbers. A Tactical Command Section leads them into battle while speedy Hermes Sentinels outflank the enemy. A mighty Leman Russ Strike Tank provides the heavy firepower, forcing your foes to keep their heads down with constant barrages.

This boxed set builds 28 multipart plastic miniatures:
– 1x Leman Russ Strike Tank
– 2x Hermes Light Sentinels (which can alternatively be built as Hermes Veletaris Sentinels)
– 5x Tactical Command Section members (which can alternatively be built as a Legatine Command Section or Line Command Section)
– 20x Lasrifle Section Auxiliaries

The miniatures in this kit are easy to customise. The Lasrifle Section miniatures can be fielded as one large unit, or two smaller ones of 10 Auxiliaries, each with their own optional Auxilia Sergeant, Auxiliary with vox interlock, and Auxiliary with auxilia vexilla. The Sergeants can be armed with your choice of laspistol, blast pistol, needle pistol, volkite serpenta, plasma pistol, or hand flamer, and a power fist, power sword, or charnabal sabre. Each Auxiliary's lasrifle can be upgraded with an optional bayonet.

The Tactical Command Section builds an Auxilia Captain, armed with your choice of laspistol, blast pistol, needle pistol, volkite serpenta, plasma pistol, or hand flamer, and power fist, power sword, or charnabal sabre. The rest of the squad have options to take a command vox, augury scanner, and cohorts vexilla. They can also be used as a Line Command Section or Legatine Command Section, whose Legate Marshal can be armed with volkite serpenta, inferno pistol, archaeotech pistol, laspistol, blast pistol, needle pistol, plasma pistol, or hand flamer, and a thunder hammer, paragon blade, power fist, power sword, or charnabal sabre.

The Hermes Light Sentinels can each be armed with either a multi-laser or a Hermes grenade launcher. They can alternatively be built as Hermes Veletaris Sentinels with additional armour and your choice of heavy flamer or a volkite caliver.

The Leman Russ Strike Tank can be armed with one of four turret weapons – a battlecannon, twin lascannon, gravis autocannon, or vanquisher cannon with a co-axial mounted heavy stubber. You can also choose from five different hull-mounted weapons – a heavy bolter, lascannon, autocannon, multi-laser, or heavy flamer. There's an optional hunter-killer missile, searchlights, and dozer blade, along with a pintle-mounted heavy flamer, multi-laser, or heavy stubber. There is also a cognis-signum to upgrade to a Command Tank, and an optional flare shield if you choose to do so.

This kit comprises 790 plastic components, 2x Citadel 60mm Round Bases, 25x Citadel 25mm Round Bases, 2x Solar Auxilia Infantry Transfer Sheets each containing 152 high-quality waterslide transfers, and 2x Solar Auxilia Vehicle Transfer Sheets each containing 180 high-quality waterslide transfers to customise your miniatures.
