Horus Heresy 2e Review: Solar Auxilia Valdor Tank Destroyer Squadron

Warpstone Flux Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4/5 stars. Others may disagree, and might be right to, but I like this one!

Background.
The neutron laser is a relic from the dark age of technology of the Imperium. Each Valdor tank is therefore something of a unique treasure and expensive to produce. Named for the golden boy, this tank was rolled out to the Auxilia primarily and is still a comparative rarity. 

Strengths.
It is a mobile neutron laser beam! You get ordnance 2 at S=10. It will be killing things. And that my dear reader is the entire point of this tank and I'm not sure I need to write much more in the strengths other than I like the aesthetic of the tank as well!

Weaknesses.
Its a Malcador chassis. Would prefer AV=14 on the front like a Leman Russ, but we can't have everything. 

Builds.
Valdor, Sponson Lascannon, Flare Shield (290 points).
A mobile neutron laser beam, with a las cannon for luck, and a flare shield to take the incoming shots. I'm not taken with the pintle weapons overall, but the dozer blade and hunter killer missile can be taken to taste.
