SOLAR AUXILIA OGRYN CHARONITE SQUAD (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/SOLAR_AUXILIA_OGRYN_CHARONITE_SQUAD.html) £65.00

130331303413035


Building on the already massive frame of an Ogryn, Solar Auxilia Charonite squads have been biochemically and cybernetically altered using ancient technologies, possibly of xenos origin, that have been deemed unholy by the Mechanicum. The result is a creature that will blindly follow orders, but which at the touch of a button will become a savage and near-unstoppable brute.

With the Ogryns' hands and forearms replaced by a brutal collection of mechanisms known as Charonite claws, which amplify their already fearsome strength, Ogryn Charonite squads can rip through armour plating with ease, devastating their foes in the brutal confines of boarding actions. It is little wonder then that as the wars of the Horus Heresy became ever more ferocious, Loyalist Solar Auxilia commanders increasingly turned to the creation of Charonites, particularly when facing Traitor Legiones Astartes and the forces of the Dark Mechanicum.

This is a complete resin kit which includes enough components to make three Ogryn Charonite models. The rules for using Ogryn Charonite Squads in Solar Auxilia armies can be found in The Horus Heresy Book Four - Conquest.

These models are available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Friday 13th March.

£65.00 for three (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/SOLAR_AUXILIA_OGRYN_CHARONITE_SQUAD.html)

The price is a bit steep, £130 for a full squad but I still must have some.....

The models are just awesome, don't really fit any current 40K aesthetic but certainly look good for 30K. :)

I think they look a lot nicer than the 40k Ogryns personally. Glad there is an option for all of them to have the gasmask heads too as I'm not too keen on that exposed face head personally. Really like the Solar Auxillia range in general though.

not very keen myself, but the detail and idea is impressive regardless.

I'm with Kirsten on these. They are well sculpted but I just don't like them and certainly wouldn't buy them.

I'd be a lot more into it if they all had those rotary saw weapons - I find those 4 and 3 pronged claws to be pretty dull.

Ogre Marines. There's an idea! ;) I am loving the Solar Aux though, but not too sure about these big fellas. The look may grow me maybe.

I like the aesthetic.

Much like the Solar Auxilia, it's one of necessity turned functional.

I can easily imagine these guys starting out as mining and dock gangs, and their tools later adapted for war.

but how do they pee ?

In. Their. Pants.

I mean, they're still Ogryns.

Perhaps the pee gets recycled somehow and used as some kind of fuel or oil, the gasmasks do have those tubes too.

Ha ha.
Ya know, they'd compliment a DKoK army nicely now that I think of it. Nice dark color palette. Hmmm... Yet another project idea that I might get round to in a few years or so. 😜
