Solar Auxilia Tactica

[Orichalcon]

Hey folks!

 

Getting into 30k, and one of the two starting points I have at my disposal is a bunch of Auxilia stuff I found in my closet.

 

I have:

 

2 Lasrifle Sections

2 Storm Sections

1 Command Section

 

What should be my next steps for getting started?

 

Also, one of the things I've been looking to get that's been eluding me (and killing me, honestly) is the Auxilia Medics, which I can't find anywhere.  I'm trying to go genuine FW for everything if possible, but the scarcity of that's been demoralizing.

It's been a little while since the last post - and I thought I'd follow Orichalcon's to see if anyone had worked from a smaller sized list (say, for Centurion/ZM) and built something larger from that? I've been really tempted to possibly use an allied Solar force with a view to potentially expand (because of the models ). I've seen very few armies of this type in the wild, so thought even despite the current situation it might be a good idea to get an idea of what people have previously been using, and go from there for some possible builds?

 

Any thoughts welcome!

Sadly, flamer sections are support squads, they require a tax of one lasrifle team (not Veletaris), not just any non-flamer squad.
This should be amended for ZM, but it's going to be a while until FW revisits the list.

[Marshal Vespasian]

Ah well. Putting in one or two lasrifle sections to open doors wont hurt.

[Chaeron]

Some great initial thoughts, thank you! I think it sounds as though building round a couple of Tercios then allows for the flexibility whether in ZM or as a core for a larger list. I think long-term then going as mechanised as possible would be very fun... 

 

Time to get my thinking hat on!

Shouldn't we start a new thread for second edition?

I believe we're all waiting for Slips, since it seems the  mods make the dedicated threads or somesuch. 

[Slips]

Nah, theres nothing stopping yall from doing that; I just did it for all the legions at 2nd Launch since I was able to create and deploy 20+ threads in one go, more or less but if you want an Army Tactica thread and its not yet made, feel free to make it yourself.
