Solar Auxilia: Combat Force
Solar Auxilia: Combat Force delivers exactly the kind of force that makes human armies in the Horus Heresy stand out. In one box, you get infantry to hold the line, a command core to shape your army, light support walkers for movement and pressure, and a Leman Russ Strike Tank to add real armoured punch. The result is a set that feels cohesive for play, collecting, and painting alike.
The Horus Heresy: Solar Auxilia - Solar Auxilia: Combat Force
- A great entry point into Solar Auxilia with infantry, command, fast support, and a tank in one box
- A thematic mix built around disciplined human troops, battlefield order, ranged pressure, and armoured support
- An attractive variety of miniatures for gaming, collecting, and painting, from rank-and-file soldiers to an iconic Leman Russ
What Solar Auxilia represent
Solar Auxilia are elite human cohorts trained to fight with discipline, structure, and relentless determination during the Horus Heresy. They do not rely on superhuman warriors, but on drill, command, ranged volleys, and armoured backing. That is exactly what gives this Combat Force its identity: a proper military formation that wins through coordination, pressure, and battlefield presence.
Where this set fits in your army
This is an excellent foundation for a Solar Auxilia army because it covers several important roles at once. The Lasrifle Section helps establish your line, the command section gives the force structure and identity, the Sentinels add speed and flexibility, and the Leman Russ brings a strong armoured element. Altogether, it feels like the beginning of a real field force rather than a random collection of kits.
Why this set stands out
- It offers a balanced unit mix, so your army feels functional and thematic from the start
- Solar Auxilia have a strong visual identity and look fantastic in formation alongside tank support
- The box appeals to players, collectors, and painters who want an infantry-and-armour project with variety
What Solar Auxilia pair well with stylistically
- Legiones Astartes: Against the elite Legions, Solar Auxilia feel like a determined human force answering power with discipline, numbers, and armoured support. That contrast makes them especially striking on the tabletop.
- Mechanicum: Next to the cold power of the Mechanicum, Solar Auxilia feel more traditional and militaristic. They offer a classic human army style built around command, line troops, and armoured backing.
- Battlefield character: Solar Auxilia shine when you want an army that looks disciplined, coherent, and grounded in military structure. Their strength comes from the combination of troops, support units, and vehicles working together.
