huh. i didn't really pay attention to that entry existing.

i think in practice the only thing that changes is that you can use them as your mandatory troops if you're PotL but...only bring two troops choices? is that happening a ton? you either get to use indomitus in small games or can get two more scoring terminator units. that's good (better?) but i don't know if it sounds insane

Holy poo poo they’re rereleasing Aevos Jovan and the missing auxilia rapier teams. Jovans currently rarer than hens teeth and costs a fortune if you wanted him. I just paid far too much for a complete auxilia transfer sheet, I wonder if that’s coming back too.

in my 1e recollection, a lot of the consul upgrades couldn't select terminator armor options. did they do away with that? none of these consul options say they can't select terminator poo poo. am I missing something?

The power armour, cataphractii, and tartaros centurions are all different unit entries and each one has a list of which consul upgrades they can take.

edit: for convenience, Master of Signals, Vigilator, Pathfinder, Moritat, Praevian, and Armistos are the upgrades that cannot be taken with terminator armour essentially.

ah okay, that's what it is then. thank you

does it make sense to run tanks in squadrons in smaller games? my understanding is that the entire squadron has to target the same unit, but what exactly are you supposed to be shooting with a squadron of like...Typhons or even kratos that makes sense?

i've been messing around with some white scars and i have a question about the ebon keshig row - it's says all units consisting of infantry or whatever must be given the kharash and fnp 5+ special rules. am i misreading this and they just mean that all units consisting of infantry get those rules?

are we finally getting rotor cannon veletaris???

like I said before, currently every model that has the reinforced void armor is OoP. they're almost definitely moving those to plastic, in this scenario

it really is great to see how far this stuff is coming. i remember buying dracosans when they launched, and after a bunch of back and forth and replacement parts, customer service told me the tank just couldn't be loving assembled. it was insane

The space marines also have four weapon kits, though -- the special weapons box; the heavy weapons box with volkite culverins, lascannons, and autocannons; the heavy weapons box with heavy flamers, multimeltas, and plasma cannons; and the heavy weapons box with missile launchers and heavy bolters. We also have reason to believe there will soon be at least one more added, with plastic melee weapons. I think it's entirely possible GW will fill out some of the gaps in the Solar Auxilia gear loadouts by putting out one or two of those for 'em, and that might be all they "need" as such.

Maybe they could do resin bodies for the heavy void armor the way they did resin bodies for the Necromunda Orlocks when they realized people didn't want all their Orlock gangers to be dudes. Make 'em compatible with plastic reinforced void arms. All that said, I just noticed that the Solar Auxilia Flamer Section resin kit is still in the store, so that hypothetical upgrade sprue for the Veletaris Storm Section to let them make Veletaris Command and Vanguard Sections might be a long time coming.

we have seen plastic veletaris and the resin models have been OOP for quite a while

I'm talking about these.

I know we've seen plastic Veletaris. What we've seen is a plastic Veletaris Storm Section with volkite chargers and storm axes, which I've been talking about. My point was, there's a good chance we'll see a kit for the missing Veletaris Vanguard and Command Sections, possibly as an upgrade sprue to the plastic Veletaris Storm Section...

...but for the other Solar Auxilia troops that are getting plastic kits, their resin kits went OOP a while before the plastic kits were announced, and this resin Flamer Section kit -- which in Heresy 2nd edition is a loadout option for the Veletaris Vanguard Section -- is still in production now (albeit currently out of stock). That suggests it might be a while before we see upgrades for the Veletaris Storm Section to turn them into bodies for the other reinforced void armor options.

fwiw, the flamer section that has a kit is the infantry tercio one, not the veletaris one. the heavy flamer is a new option, like you said, and the flamer section is one of the first SA models they released. i’m sure they gave them the heavy flamer option just to pad out the upcoming upgrade sprue

Hm. Point.

...weird. Is it just me, are the only Solar Auxilia regular-rear end non-reinforced void armor unit in Liber Imperium who can even take flamers the Tactical Command Section and the Companion Section? There's no Flamer Section anymore at all.

i hadn't even checked, but yes. maybe they'll be back in the campaign book, but that is very weird
