Solar Auxilia infantry

I was sick last week, so I didn't really update my blog for almost 2 weeks. I don't think anyone noticed, but it's fine. Anyway I've recovered and I'm now back to doing Warhammer 40,000, like the Legions Imperialis game on Saturday. As for today, I started assembling my Solar Auxilia battle group. I decided to work on the infantry first.

I originally wanted to assemble the Aethon Heavy Sentinel as well, but I had to give up on that because I already spent 8 and a half hours assembling just these 26 infantry models alone. Good lord. Either I'm getting old or these are more complicated to assemble, which I doubt. I think I'm just getting old.

Anyway, you'll notice that I said 26. That's right. I assembled a Legate Marshal, but there were more than enough leftover parts to assemble a 26th model, so I essentially did a Legate Marshal plus an Auxilia Tactical Command squad with a Marshal and Auxilia Companions. I wanted to give them all plasma guns, but the kitbashing work was a little too much for me, so I decided to just stick to the instructions and do lasrifles for the augury array and cohort vexilia guys. I'm just so done with assembling all this plastic today, I need to rest. But yeah, two lasrifle sections in a Tercio, with two HQs. I plan on doing Solar Cohort (hence the Legate Marshal), so I'm waiting for three weeks or so before I get a bunch of Veletaris Storm Sections for my real Troops. They'll be riding around in Dracosans in a mechanized sub-cohort thing. Yay. We'll see.
