Horus Heresy: Solar Auxilia Velataris

The option to build them with volkite chargers or storm axes is a nice touch, and the void armor details are sharp enough that they paint up quickly without feeling plain. Ten troopers in one box is a solid starting point for a command squad.

The reinforced void armor really sells the elite feel, and swapping between volkite chargers and storm axes was surprisingly painless. Ten troopers gives you plenty of options for a themed squad, and the detail on the shoulder pads is crisp.

I finally got these built, and the void armor detail is sharp enough that the trim pops with just a base coat and wash. The mix of volkite chargers and storm axes gives me enough options to run two distinct squads from one box.
