Quick, Simple Solar Auxilia - With 14 Paints! [How I Paint Things]
Long-awaited in plastic, the recent release of the Solar Auxilia for The Horus Heresy sees some of the coolest infantry from Games Workshop hit stores in years. What can I say? I love the slightly old-school, submariner look to them. They're kitschy retro sci-fi in a way that seriously suits the 30/40k aesthetic really well. So if you're looking to put these guys on the table in support of your Legiones Astartes, or as up-armoured Astra Militarum, here's a simple method to get all those little bits and pieces done with a minimum of fuss!
