Editing Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Solar Auxilia (30k) (section)

===Dedicated Transports===
*'''Dracosan Armoured Transport:''' If Space Marines can grab Land Raiders en mass in the old days, then so can we! Instead of being the dakka-happy Chimera players are used to, the Dracosan focuses instead on sheer resilience, being a '''5'''HP 13/12/11 tank on a ''Malcador chasis'' with "only" a TL Lascannon for a weapon. This resilience can be further upgraded with Armoured Ceramite to give the finger to melta (at least from the front) and a ''Flare Shield'' to modify the Strength of frontal attacks by -1, Blasts and Templates getting a -2 instead, effectively becoming AV14 on the front (you were saying, melta?). Explorator Adaptation is a great boon to your default transport, being Void Hardened and conferring a 6+ invul against Blasts or Templates, while re-rolling failed Dangerous Terrain, therefore making the Dozer upgrade redundant. If you want it to never stop for any reason, you can also add an Auxiliary drive. It has Extra Armour by default, though lacking any firing points and having only one weapon means it's kinda disappointing. To upgrade its firepower it can buy a pintle-mounted heavy flamer/multilaser, as well as ''two'' HK missiles. This beast can comfortably carry 20 models, being the only thing that can transport a full Lasrifle section. Can't transport Bulky-or-bigger models, though, so sadly it's unavailable for Ogryns, who need a transport the most.
**Oh you want some serious dakka? Then swap its Lascannon for a freaking ''[[Vindicator|Demolisher cannon]]'', becoming a Land Raider Ares of sorts. This cuts the transport capacity down to 10, but who cares? Marines take normal Vindicators. [[Cheese|Yours carry troops]], are stronger and cost ''no FOC slot''. So bring those with scores of Leman Russes to make THE mechanized infantry list you've always dreamed of. Running this up your enemy's face (bonus points for Outflanking them) is the best way of fielding [[DISTRACTION_CARNIFEX|Flamer sections]] and quite handy for Veletaris, though the costs go up very quickly, with the transport being more expensive than the squad and all.
*** Emphasis on cost. It might give you a big boner to slap on all the upgrades and defy the universe to fuck with you but you have pay for that and it's not like you are transporting [[Deathstar Units]] of assault terminators or something. Household retinues with axes is the more expensive unit that you will ever put inside. You're in an environment where super heavies and destroyer weapons are common so perhaps it'd be wiser to just take what you need not try to get into a dick swinging contest with a titan. 

*'''Auxilia Arvus Lighter:''' The Arvus is a flittery little thing, holding 12 models, but nothing else at a bone-stock price of 75 points. It does get a rather ''broad'' list of upgrades and weapons, which might give it survivability, but with Rhino stats it's not going to really go that much once it unloads its squad. Best kept mostly cheap and used to Deep strike 10-man sections, namely Flamer, Veletaris and HOUSEHOLD squads, and use the extra space to add a Medicae. So it functions like the Auxilia version of a flying Rhino/Drop Pod with good options, but the points cost is too high to make it disposable, so use it to place something nasty where your opponent is most vulnerable. If you do take any weapons on this, twin-link them! It's only 5pts more.
**Looking at the weapons, there's not much point getting the multi-laser, due to the low rate of fire and the fact that an autocannon does the job of light vehicle hunting much better. Select from the Auto and Lascannon based on whether you want it targeting light or heavy armour respectively. Picking Hellstrike missiles is also a good option since the thing isn't going to live through more than two turns 
**Hilariously, this thing can get a freaking [[What|Flare shield]]. It can become a rather sweet ride for your Lord Marshal attached to a Household + Medicae unit. When you need speed rather than slow-moving tank, 120 pts for a Deepstriking AV12|11|10 ride that ignores Crew Shaken/Stunned on a 4+ and has a 4++ save against missiles that has all the boons for being a flyer doesn't sound so bad. Or keep it "cheap" at 100pts, to attack the enemy's attention with a flying TL Lascannon after you drop your squad.

*'''Aurox Armored Transport:''' model shown on Horus Heresy Weekender (03.02.2018). Looks absolutely gorgeous. A Rhino analogue, 35 pts, 11/11/10, 3 HP, Explorator Adaptation, Heavy Stubber, that can and should be replaced with Multilaser or heavy Flamer for free, 2 Fire Points, 10 models Transport capacity. Sure, it's no Dracosan, but it's nice to get a transport that costs less than <s>50 points</s> the very squad you're transporting.
