Here is a first look at the Solar Auxilia rules from Conquest.

Overview:
  • All infantry have 'disclipined fire' which allows them to overwatch with BS2.
  • 'Close formation fighting' gives +1WS to models with at least two other friendly models in base to base contact. All SA infantry have it.
  • Some super heavy tanks are Heavy Support.
  • Two armour sets.
    -Void Armour, is 4+ armour with 'Void Hardened'
    -hardened void armour, like above but with the 'Hardend Armour' rule as well
  • Lasrifle is 30" range as said before. has two upgrades
    -Collimator, makes it heavy2, and adds 6" range
    -Blast charge makes the lasrifles 18" str6 ap6 heavy1, but can not shoot next turn
    no hot-shot version, looks like that was a red herring.
  • All vehicles have 'explorator adaption' which confers void hardened and gives a 6+ invuln against blast and template attacks

    Headquarters
    • Legate Commander, is independant character with two versions, large range of wargear options.
    • Special character for loyalists, old commander brought out of retirement. can bring back units.
    • Tactical command section, 5-10 men, has bombardments, cognis sigum and other boost wargear, can take lots of special weapons.
    • Tank commander
    Elites
    • Medicae detahcment, 3-6 medics attached to any other SA infantry unit, rather cheap.
    • Rapier battery, starts with quad-multi-laser, and can upgrade other standard options
    • Orgyrn charonite squad, combat only unit, with horrid CC weapon.
      str+1 ap3, melee, fleshripper, fleshripper means any rolls to wound of a 6, are ap2, and cause instant death.
    • Enginseer Auxilia, just like the Taghmata Omnisiah version but without the specialisations. Giving them cortex controllers allows you to use a squad of  Thallax or Castallax as optional heavy support like legion list.
      
    Troops
    • Techicially only a single troop choice, its the 'Auxillia Infantry Tercio'. its made up of 1-3 'sections' any combination.
    • The lasrifle section is the 20 squad as standard, 
    • Veletaris Storm section is the volkite totting 10man squad. can swap volkites for rotor cannons or power axes (whole squad must be same) 
    • Flamer section is like storm section but only flamers, has support squad rule so need at least one of the others in the Tercio.
    • The Tercio may take 0-3 Dracosan transports, or a single aegis defence line instead.
    • Single squad sergeant maybe upgrade to a Troop Master (better statline.)
    Dedicated Transports
