			Unfortunately, such enhanced protection begins to run up against the limitations of human technology. No matter how many servomotors compensate for the weight, baseline humans lack the necessary implants to seamlessly maneuver in Reinforced Void Armor. As such, your average Veletaris suffers in open spaces due to the excessive bulk of their wargear.

	No sane human being would get into a firefight with a Space Marine, but the Horus Heresy made for an insane time period. As such, the Auxilia had ample access [[Volkite Charger]]s and [[Flamer]]s.

	A bulked up version of Void Armor. The Reinforced variant makes an unaugmented human almost as hard to kill as a [[Space Marine]], thanks to its extra protection from [[Flamer]] style weapons and most long-range explosives. These were worn by [[Solar Auxilia Veletaris Storm Section\|Veletaris Storm Sections]] and [[Solar Auxilia Flamer Section\|Auxilia Flamer sections.]] This creates the implication that Reinforced Void Armor was meant for close-quarter firefights. With the number of Xenos who love running headfirst into the battle lines or ambushes in dark corridors, ~~an enhancement of~~ Void Armor isn't a bad idea.		A bulked up version of Void Armor.

With the number of Xenos who love running headfirst into the battle lines or ambushes in dark corridors, up-armoring Void Armor isn't a bad idea.

			Unfortunately, such enhanced protection begins to run up against the limitations of human technology. No matter how many servomotors compensate for the weight, baseline humans lack the necessary implants to seamlessly maneuver in Reinforced Void Armor. As such, your average Veletaris suffers in open spaces due to the excessive bulk of their wargear.

	No sane human being would get into a firefight with a Space Marine, but the Horus Heresy made for an insane time period. As such, the Auxilia had ample access [[Volkite Charger]]s and [[Flamer]]s. This would make it absolute hell for anyone without a defense comparable to [[Terminator_Armour\|Terminator Armor]]. Yes, Volkite. Too-rare-to-be-standard-for-Astartes volkites. Yes, at this point one-fifth of the Imperial Army were Solar Auxilia. Don't think about it, heretic. By the time a loyalist or traitor got themselves close enough, most of his buddies were turned to ash or simply vaporized. Even if an enemy could survive long enough to close the gap, that enemy would be easily vaporized by the nearby allies of whoever was getting attacked in the first place.
