==Organisation== The fundamental level of an Auxilia force is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tercio Tercio], so called for being composed of up to three sections (squads), and three different types of squads are available to them. This can lead to a lot of fun as one basic Lasrifle Tercio can throw down 120 shots as 36" Heavy 2 Lasrifles to literally melt one side of the battlefield in a hail of energy fire. On the other hand, Veteran Veletaris Tercios usually consist of three squads of ten veteran troops equipped with short-range weaponry such as the [[Volkite Weaponry|Volkite Charger]] or [[Flamer]]s (or even power axes). Furthermore, with Tercios counting as one troops choice in the FOC, the ''elite few'' of the Solar Auxilia can outnumber even the horde armies of the Imperial Militia. Being 30k's Stormtroopers, they have lots of nifty tricks and items, like alternate lasgun power settings, enhanced snapshots, hold-my-hands-for-WS4 formations and damn good morale (rerollable Ld10!) with the right conditions. Oh, this being 30k they lack 40k Stormtrooper's weakness in the vehicular department, as the Solar Auxilia can bring a wide assortment of ''Super-Heavies as mere Heavy Support choices'', and have access to a tank commander that can ride said Super-heavies. Those were the times... To add even more [[awesome]], some of Solar Auxillia troopers were hanging around since the beginning of the [[Great Crusade]] at the time of Horus Heresy. The regular "tour" had a length of at least 30 years, and after that one was given a choice: either to leave and continue their life as a very wealthy (and potentially noble!) person on some new-compliant world, or to be furnished with anti-aghthaics and medicae treatment to expand their lifespan. Should I say such procedures are available only for the richest persons in the grim darkness of 40k? As it stands, they only have <s>one</s> two characters, "Lord Marshal Ireton MaSaad", a retired badass who wins through sheer old man strength and comes with the best colour scheme (Warplock Bronze and green) to date, but is a little lacking in the rules department; and Surgeon-Primus Aevos Jovan, the mortal version of [[Fabius Bile|Fabulous Bill]] but loyal, interestingly spared from execution by the intervention of MaSaad himself. Not to fret, there is a wealth of options to customize a generic leader for whatever role, even able to go toe-to-toe with the champions of the [[Space Marines]], although a Lord Marshall is arguably better served as a force multiplier with a command squad to push this train into the station.
