Solar Auxilia Flamer Section

It's a ten men barbeque team. Talk about a Tarpit cooker.

The guys who likes to smoke some heretic asses. The Solar Auxilia Flamer Section is, as their name implies, is all about that literal firepower here. Before the Horus Heresy, these guys were in charged of dealing with the multiple nasty critters up close during the Great Crusade.

Overview

Working in conjunction with Lasrifle Sections, the Solar Auxilia Flamer Section provides close-quarters support to their Infantry Tercio. Whether advancing on lightly armoured enemies, assaulting occupied bunkers or entrenched behind Aegis Defence Lines, the gouts of promethium flame from their weapons will drive back foes far greater than them in number. They are also often employed in boarding actions, clearing corridors of ships with ease.

Given their close-combat nature, the Flamer Section all wear Reinforced Void Armour rather than your typical body armour worn by the more common Lasrifle Sections. As their name implies, these guys are decked carrying Flamers, Heavy Flamers and Hand Flamers. They can also take Rotor Cannons if needed, but that's only in situations where there is a serious need for suppressive fire.

Crunch

Rather than Volkite, these guys get to carry Rotor Cannons to pin anything you want your other forces to mow down. Of course, if you're dealing with hordes such as the Imperial Army or daemons, then you'd be better suited by grabbing Heavy Flamers for an entire block of templates. Mixing and matching is a decent idea; Pinning tests on the same leadership as long as you cause at least 1 wound and you're therefore not incentivized to max out on Rotor Cannons, while the prohibition on friendly fire can make using 20 Heavy Flamers difficult. If you're spamming Rotor Cannons purely for firepower, just take a few Lasrifle Sections.
