Horus Heresy 2e Review: Solar Auxilia Companion Section

Warpstone Flux Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4/5 stars. Solid and flexible.

Background.
These men and women are the bodyguards of the commander. Or perhaps the sledgehammer of the elites of the army that regularly accompany him or her. Or perhaps simply experienced veterans regardless of how they are decked out. In all cases they have their choice of the gear available from the stores of the army and are not afraid to use it. 

Strengths.
The flexibility of builds here is the absolute key to why these sections are going to be taken regularly. Sure, the WS=5 on the Adjutant is very nice and should be taken advantage of, but the unit can be constructed in many different ways. 

Weaknesses.
T=3.  

Builds.
Companion Section, Vox Interlock, Auxilia Vexilla, Adjutant with Power Fist (85 points). 
A baseline to build upward from. The vox is almost an auto-take, and the vexilla is always good. 

Companion Section, Vox Interlock, Auxilia Vexilla, 5x plasma gun, Adjutant with Power Fist (135 points).
A plasma wall of death build. Exchange for melta guns to taste for a small add on points cost. 

Companion Section, 10 members, Augury Scanner, Vox Interlock, Auxilia Vexilla, 4x Power Weapon, 2x Flamer, 2x Plasma Gun, 1x Grenade Launcher, Adjutant with Power Fist (225 points).
The balanced, and large squad to match your Command Section?
