Solar Auxilia Tactical Command Sections are specialists in battlefield command and control. Led by a Captain or similar sub-commander, these expert sections facilitate the flow of orders, direct the tercios, and co-ordinate artillery and orbital operations. This vital role is mirrored by the junior Line Command Sections who lead frontline troops, while the most powerful and celebrated officers of the Solar Auxilia, known broadly as Legate Marshals, instead go to war with personal guards equipped from their private armouries.

This multipart plastic kit builds a Solar Auxilia Tactical Command Section, comprising one Auxilia Captain and four Auxilia Companions. These soldiers are clad in finely decorated void armour, and carry command gear alongside their lasrifles – the kit includes an augury scanner, a command vox, and a proud cohorts vexilla, as well as a lethal melta bomb. The Captain comes with a choice of heads, and loads of extra weaponry – a power fist, power sword, or charnabal sword, as well as a laspistol, blast pistol, needle pistol, plasma pistol, or hand flamer.

This highly versatile kit can alternatively build a lower-ranking Line Command Section, wearing less ornate armour and carrying a more austere vexilla. It can also be used to build a Legate Marshal, accompanied by four Lifewards. You'll find even more weapons for the Legate Marshal – a volkite serpenta, inferno pistol, or archeotech pistol, and a thunder hammer or paragon blade – and the Lifewards can be armed with some of their lord's spare wargear!

This kit comprises 137 plastic components, 5x Citadel 25mm Round Bases, and a Solar Auxilia Infantry Transfer Sheet containing 152 high-quality waterslide transfers. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Note that this kit includes enough components to build an additional Auxilia Companion, if you have a spare Citadel 25mm Round Base.
