Product detailed description
| Battlefield Role | Unique Features | Difficulty | Player Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy assault infantry for Solar Auxilia, built to deliver brutal close-combat pressure and break through enemy lines. | Massive armoured Ogryns, a grim industrial look, cybernetic details, and a distinctive shock-troop role within a Solar Auxilia army. | Intermediate – the unit has a clear aggressive role, but it works best with careful timing and support from the rest of the army. | Use them as a hard-hitting assault element that enters combat at the right moment rather than exposing them too early to concentrated fire. |

Brutal Strength for Solar Auxilia
Charonite Ogryns are a fearsome assault element for Solar Auxilia – massive warriors altered for savage close-range combat. On the tabletop, they create a dark contrast to the disciplined infantry and armoured support of the army. As a hobby project, they offer powerful models full of metal, muscle, armour, surgical detail, and unsettling techno-industrial character.
How They Fit into Solar Auxilia
In a Solar Auxilia army, a Charonite Ogryn Section works well as a hard-hitting support unit for moments when you need to hold, intimidate, or crush the enemy in melee. It complements infantry formations, transports, and armoured support by adding physical power and psychological pressure where regular soldiers rely on discipline and firepower.
Why This Set Stands Out
- Adds a stronger melee threat to Solar Auxilia and broadens the army’s tactical options.
- Offers imposing models with a grim look, metal details, and a brutal battlefield silhouette.
- Works well alongside shooting and armoured elements as a close-combat counter-punch.
Where They Perform Best
- Elite infantry and tough units: Charonite Ogryns are useful against targets that need to be stopped with brute force and may be too dangerous for regular infantry to handle alone.
- Enemies pushing your line: They work well as a counter-assault unit against opponents that get too close to your Solar Auxilia firing units.
- Practical Battlefield Use: They are best used as a protected strike element that commits at the right moment. This is not a unit to expose carelessly to enemy fire, but a tool for a decisive blow where the battle line starts to break.

Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is this product suitable for beginners? | Yes, if you already have a basic understanding of The Horus Heresy and want a clearly focused assault unit. Complete beginners should pay special attention to attack timing and positioning. |
| Does it work as an expansion for Solar Auxilia? | Yes, it adds close-combat strength that regular infantry and shooting units may not provide on their own. |
| Is the set interesting to paint? | Yes, the models combine muscle, metal, armour, and surgical details, giving them a very different look from standard infantry. |
| What do I need to build it? | We recommend plastic glue, clippers, a hobby knife, and then paints and brushes to finish the miniatures. |
What to Add Next
| What Next? | Why |
|---|---|
| Infantry support | Add core Solar Auxilia units that can hold the line and create space for the Ogryns to counter-attack. |
| Transport or armour | Consider units that help them get closer to the fight or create pressure across several areas of the battlefield. |
Recommended Next Steps
