Forgeworld: Two New Imperial Tanks!
Step right up and take a gander at the newest machines to grind the enemies of the Imperium into dust!
Many Solar Auxilia Cohorts maintain their own mobile artillery batteries, favouring a class ideally suited to their particular battle doctrines. Among the most common types used by the Solar Auxilia is their variant of the Basilisk, which is substantially different to those utilised in the wider Imperial Army and other fighting forces of the galaxy-spanning Imperium.
Firing from long distance, the Basilisk can lay down a fearsome barrage ahead of the advancing ranks of the Solar Auxilia. Its hull, derived from the Solar pattern Leman Russ, offers enhanced protection from enemy weapons and can equip a pintle-mounted weapon such as the ubiquitous multi-laser, adding a close quarters defence capability should enemy infantry advance too near.
The Solar Auxilia Basilisk can be fielded in Artillery Batteries as part of a Solar Auxilia army in Horus Heresy games. This kit includes an optional Solar Auxilia gunner with pintle-mounted multi-laser. The rules for this model and the full Solar Auxilia army list can be found in The Horus Heresy Book 4 – Conquest.
Many Solar Auxilia Cohorts maintain their own mobile artillery batteries, favouring a class ideally suited to their particular battle doctrines. Among the most common types used by the Solar Auxilia is their variant of the Medusa, which is substantially different to those utilised in the wider Imperial Army and other fighting forces of the galaxy-spanning Imperium.
Whilst it does not have the huge firing range of the Basilisk, the Medusa loads even more devastating shells than its sister tank. Its hull, derived from the Solar pattern Leman Russ, offers enhanced protection from enemy weapons and can equip a pintle-mounted weapon such as the ubiquitous multi-laser, adding a close quarters defence capability should enemy infantry advance too near.
The Solar Auxilia Medusa can be fielded in Artillery Batteries as part of a Solar Auxilia army in Horus Heresy games. This kit includes an optional Solar Auxilia gunner with pintle-mounted multi-laser. The rules for this model and the full Solar Auxilia army list can be found in The Horus Heresy Book 4 – Conquest.
