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

==Building Your Army==
Consider any or all of the following:

*becoming a prostitute

*selling your house

*killing everyone in your family until you are the only one left with all the inheritance

*harvesting the organs of your friends

*investment scamming

*selling your vital organs

*cleaning your couch, and your neighbors, and their neighbors, and your grandmothers...

*first born children do go for a lot on ebay

*getting a fourth job

*selling whatever you are reading this on

*find a friend and you each put $20 in a box. Then one person buys the box from the other for $30. You both make $10! (...you must use common core math...) 

*Buy a bunch of cheaper Horus Heresy models from Forgeworld, wait for Forgeworld to discontinue them, then sell them at 5x to 10x the price you paid for them on ebay. No, seriously.

Seriously though. Start with you're preferred troop choice, either Lasrifles or Storm Sections. Lasrifles should usually have cover, Storm Sections should usually be in a Dracosian with a Demolisher cannon. Using Lasrifle Sections in Dracosians is a sure way to empty your wallet and create a pretty mediocre list in the process. Tanks are easier to come by, you can either get the cheap ones from GW (might need to persuade your community those are the right ones. Conquest shows one LR with "visible" Explorator Adaptation, so it's only logical to assume existence of ones without) or get the older-pattern krieg ones that FW sell. The former might get you sperged at for using weapon patterns that weren't around until after the heresy and the latter looks cooler but costs more money.

Another option for getting your Auxilia army:

* Unofficial models from China, Ukraine, Russia or whatnot. Saves a lot of money without losing much of a quality. When painted and mounted on official bases, not even a GW manager would be able to tell the difference.
* Problem with proxying is their equipment: while Scions make perfect Grenadiers in Militia and Cults list, they do not fulfill role of any Tercio soldier due to highly standardised Solar Auxilia suits, which is their trademark fluff-wise. To draw a parallel, it's like proxying 30k marines with Primarises (even mk7 may be used in Siege of Terra scenarios, after all): you can, of course, do it, but perhaps you're better off with empty bases  if you want to test something rather than lovingly build an army against which no WYSIWYG community will play.
*For those lucky few who have 3D Printers there are [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thatevilone/lunar-auxilia 3rd party STLs] out there for traitor Auxilia specifically, they do suffer from the standardization issue above but the fact that they're part of the traitor forces does leave some wiggle room to excuse that due to the intermittent supply lines the traitor forces suffered. However they are much much closer then Scions or other third party Alternatives.
