solar auxilia traitor army

[Bythehololight]

Can a solar axilia army be taken as a traitor force?

 

The plan was to have word bearer, daemon or dark mechanicum allies with traitor solar auxilia.

In short, yes. Any force (baring Word Bearers) can be taken as a Traitor or Loyalist force.

 

Go nuts.

Basically how it works is that during list building you pick your faction first, this is either Loyalist or Traitor, then you select your army and unit from there. Right now in the rules, there is no army that has exclusively one Faction or another, though this is guaranteed to change when they FAQ Talons and officially add Daemons.

False, word bearers legion rules set them as belonging exclusively to the traitor faction, no buts or ifs.

 

But yeah, as said above, MOST armies don't have a set faction for them and can therefore be played as either traitor or loyalist force, both in the personal fluff you write for your army, AND by the gameplay rules, Solar Auxilia being one of these.

 

I believe people commonly mistake Solar Auxilia operating only as an loyalist force, or even exclusively in the sol system of terra because the term "Solar" in the tittle of the army. Drives me nuts is what that does.

Wow I missed that in the newest red book. Extremely odd since even in Tempest they could go loyal

It makes sence as word bearers were the arch traitors who fell to Chaos way before the heresy.
