Horus Heresy Review: Auxilia Medicae Detachment


Background
These guys are the Solar Auxilia analogues to apothecaries in the Space Marine legions. Outside of combat, they function to keep the mortals assigned to them alive, and preferably disease free, thereby serving a vital role in any army.

Strengths
Their strengths are completely analogous to space marines: they gift feel no pain to any unit that they join.

Weaknesses
To be blunt, they can only join four different types of unit and troops. But this isn't so severe to make them useless - on the contrary, purchasing several of these guys is exactly what you should be doing given how cheap they are!

Overall
Rather than provide builds (which are very limited to say the least), I will simply put it like this: the Solar Auxilia army needs these guys in place with key units. Don't try to save points by not having them on board. Purchase them. End of story!
