Once a skilled physician of the nobility of Agathon, by the time of the Horus Heresy Aevos Jovan had been condemned to execution for years of secret research into medical techniques forbidden by Imperial Law. In the aftermath of Ireton MaSade’s military coup, Jovan was offered amnesty by the Lord Marshal in payment for service in the ranks of his Solar Auxilia forces. Watched closely by medicae staff who were as in awe of his abilities as they were suspicious of his motives, Jovan embraced the blood and carnage of the battlefield as a new theatre for his unmatched skill in repairing rent flesh and ravaged organs.

An instrument of Jovan’s own unique design, incorporating what was rumoured to be xenos technology in its construction, the phase lancet was not only able to cut and cauterise with astonishing precision, but also disintegrate matter to a precise micro-volume inside a living body without piercing the flesh directly. The lethality of the device when used to defend its operator in extremis was as insidious as it was effective.

A complex device that only Aevos Jovan truly understands (or has the skill to make use of), the auto-gurney is equipped with servo-cutters and medical augury scanners that allow intricate operations to be performed on the battlefield by a small team.
A Model with this Special Rule allows Recovery Tests to be made in the Morale Sub-Phase, but is automatically Removed as a Casualty if it is ever the only Model in a Unit.While the medicae orderlies who accompany Aevos Jovan may not share his exacting medical skills, they are highly trained at stabilising wounded Auxiliaries on the battlefield such that they may yet return to future battlefields.
Models with this Special Rule can give a version of Expendable (X) to Solar Auxilia Units.Some weapons cleave flesh with ease, inflicting terrible wounds that no mortal toughness can resist. Though of less use against armour and steel, such munitions are capable of tearing bloody holes in the ranks of advancing infantry and stalling any attack in its tracks.
With a Weapon that has the Rending (X) Special Rule, there is a chance that a Hit Test may result in an automatic wound.Compact and deadly, pistols are ideal weapons in close quarters. They lack the sheer range of larger weapons, but can be brought to bear with impressive speed and are no less deadly than their larger counterparts.
A Model may attack with two Weapons that have the Pistol Special Rule.Some weapons trade precision for indiscriminate destruction, high explosive impacts that can devastate a wide area. From artillery shells to high energy blasts, such weapons are popular tools of destruction on the battlefields of the Horus Heresy.
Attacks made with the Blast (X) Special Rule use a Blast Marker to determine how many Hits are caused.This class of grenade contains only a small explosive charge, and is intended primarily to disorientate and distract the foe while closing on a fixed position.

Designed to be carefully attached to a target and blast precise holes in the thickest armour, these cumbersome devices are ill-suited to open war. However, when a vulnerable target can be isolated in battle, there are no better tools for piercing its protection.

The Solar Auxilia Trait is used in the following Solar Auxilia datasheets:
Infantry units include all types of foot soldiers. Infantry are fairly slow moving, but can cross almost any terrain and make the best use of cover to avoid enemy fire.
Infantry is the most basic Type, and is applied to most Models in the game. A Model with the Infantry Type uses the Core Rules without modification, gaining neither benefit nor penalty. Models with the Infantry Type may Embark and Disembark upon Models with the Transport Sub-Type.Poison is a subtle weapon, relying not on brute strength to bring harm to the foe, hut on its own insidious bite. Though some consider it a dishonourable tool, there are many that are willing to make use of it in the name of victory.
A Weapon with the Poisoned (X) Special Rule has a chance to cause a wound regardless of the target’s Toughness.The crack of the sniper’s rifle or the burst of heavy artillery, both signal a sudden and indiscriminate death and send infantry scurrying for cover. Such weapons are meant as much to pin the foe in place as to kill them, breaking up advancing ranks of troops and shattering defensive formations.
Weapons and other attacks that have the Pinning (X) Special Rule have a chance of inflicting the Pinned Status on the Target Unit.| Ranged Weapon | |||||||

Whether forsaken as oathbreakers or simply deemed beneath their superiors’ notice, there are some warriors for whom death offers neither glory nor honour.
A Player scores less Victory Points when they destroy a Unit that includes only Models with this Special Rule.An instrument of Jovan’s own unique design, incorporating what was rumoured to be xenos technology in its construction, the phase lancet was not only able to cut and cauterise with astonishing precision, but also disintegrate matter to a precise micro-volume inside a living body without piercing the flesh directly.

The Loyalist Trait is used in the following Solar Auxilia datasheets:
Among the warriors and war machines of the Horus Heresy there are many whose names are known throughout the galaxy. Such heroes, prototypes and icons are rare, and though their power can tip any battle in their favour, they can only be in one place at a time.
The following Rules apply to all Models with the Unique Sub-Type:Some warriors are renowned not purely for their skill at arms, but for the specific skills they bring to the aid of their fellows. Such warriors move among the ranks as they are needed, taking up position to use their abilities to the greatest advantage amid the shifting tide of battle.
The following Rules apply to all Models with the Specialist Sub-Type:Some specialists are trained in field medicine and carry specialist equipment, from a simple satchel of bandages and pain suppressants to the complex narthecium devices carried by Legion apothecaries. If able to tend to the injured in time, such warriors can be returned to the battle, enabling them to fight on.
This Special Rule determines the difficulty of any Recovery Tests made due to other Reactions or Special Rules.A complex device that only Aevos Jovan truly understands (or has the skill to make use of), the auto-gurney is equipped with servo-cutters and medical augury scanners that allow intricate operations to be performed on the battlefield by a small team.
A Model with this Special Rule allows Recovery Tests to be made in the Morale Sub-Phase, but is automatically Removed as a Casualty if it is ever the only Model in a Unit.While the medicae orderlies who accompany Aevos Jovan may not share his exacting medical skills, they are highly trained at stabilising wounded Auxiliaries on the battlefield such that they may yet return to future battlefields.
Models with this Special Rule can give a version of Expendable (X) to Solar Auxilia Units.
