4/5 stars. A great way to escort Auxilia friends!
Background.
Sometimes the legions decide to incorporate some mortals in their strategies. They might be a way to earn favour with mortal forces and bring honour to them. It might be the case that the mortals have gained a ceremonial honour. Perhaps they are bringing extra forces to simply bolster their own. In all cases, an Overseer from the space marine legions is put in charge of them on the battlefield.
Strengths.
As Master of the Auxilia, your Overseer can join a Solar Auxilia Unit without causing any reduction in Leadership or Cool. This is very nice. The Overseer also brings his WS=5 and BS=5 to the fore and has Fear (1) to boot which is impressive.
Weaknesses.
I wish this unit had access to opening up a new slot in the organization chart without having to have a brand new detachment of Auxilia - this is a flaw compared to Second Edition.
Otherwise the unit is pretty cheap overall and a sporting way to bring Fear to the table.
Builds.
Overseer with hand flamer (90 points).
Cheap and cheerful really. Add a vexilla to taste and you're good to go really.
Fundamentally though, you will need to decide if you want to be static (usually yes for an Auxilia gun line), or have a bit more movement (in which case a vexilla and/or melta bombs start to look attractive). Take the maul or lash according to which miniature you have purchased realistically.
I'm gutted that my conversion is no longer playable. Hence from now on that weapon shall be a counts-as bolt pistol - eek!
