Editing Solar Auxilia Veletaris Storm Section (section)

==Crunch==

The elite stormtrooper analogues, all given BS/WS4 and reinforced void armour, including the Heavy sub-type to help resist templates and blasts. Section sergeants can all take heavy void armor, giving them a 3+ save. The entire Tercio besides the Vanguard Section gets Volkite Chargers as part of their standard loadout, which gives them a good means on handling MEQs. They also lack the Close-Order sub-type, making them less of a juicy target to burn alive with templates.

However, you can swap them out with their choppier brothers with Storm Axes so you aren't stuck with mere CCWs. Storm Axes are +2S AP2 Unwieldy (so you're at WS4 S5 AP2 like Power Axe MEQs); they're Two-handed, but you have no pistol/CCW so you don't care. Each Veletarii only has one attack, but they compensate with Murderous Strike (6+), giving them a fighting chance against 2-wound TEQs and most characters. The main problem, of course, is whether it's bright to build a melee squad in this list to begin with, which depends on the Cohort Doctrine you have.
