- £41 for 10.

Usually forming part of the Solar Auxilia’s Infantry Tercios, Veletaris Storm Sections also serve as the Household Retinue of commanders and Lord Marshals. When doing so they often bear ceremonial power axes which, whilst finely wrought, are suitably deadly in battle. The elite of the Solar Auxilia, who are themselves the best of the Imperial Army, they are considered second only to the Space Marines of the Legiones Astartes in combat.

Consisting of 10 models, this unit is equipped with power axes and encased in reinforced void armour.

The Veletaris Storm Section with Power Axes is a complete multi-part resin kit that makes ten models. It includes ten 25mm round bases.

Ace, more recruits to join my pile of grey Solar Auxillia! I wish I could think of a good scheme to get them going.

[Chris*ta]

I like them a lot.

I like the fact that they manage to look a bit more techy than most 40K, but also like medieval knights. And I'm especially a fan of the subtle eagle's head in the axe blades.

For someone who has the book, what are their rules actually like? They have power axes and a 4+ save, but what actually makes them good/interesting/the worst thing GW's ever wrote? (Delete as appropriate.)

[Mr Mystery]

Think Stormtroopers and you're not a million miles away.

And totes on the aesthetic. I love how it's clearly industrial equipment repurposed, but repurposed with care rather than just as a makeshift.

They also make fantastic Naval Ratings for any 40k era ship to ship boarding actions.

Yeah I love the Industrial look of them. These guys totally belong at an industrial gig. Hell, id totaly wear gear like that to a FLA concert. May have to get some lol
