Horus plans didn't go as well as planned. He hoped to strike Terra before anyone knew about his treachery. So now he has to fight more battles that
The Dark Compliance, which is Horus taking back compliant worlds to create an industrial base.
Solar Auxilia
The Solar Auxilia is to the Imperial Guard as the Codex chapters are to Space Marines.
Elite humans, well equipped that fight alongside the expeditionary fleets. Their leaders are great heroes and nobles. (And Forge World is making models of these guys).
The Solar Auxilia are not a defensive force like the Imperial Guard. They are meant to lead and explore, like scouts or rangers.
Knights
Define your pilot first, then equip him based on the Knights role.
Some of these Knight houses are brand new to the Imperium. Many of these houses were fighting for centuries during the Age of Strife and have very different strategies.
Split Forces
All of the Imperiums armed forces were faced with the choice of staying loyal or turning traitor. This meant some armed forces went entirely loyalist, while some went traitor. But sometimes this choice split the legions/houses/forces so part went traitor and some stayed loyal. You can also have forces that were in another part of the galaxy and then show up to find their forces have turned traitor and they are faced with a choice.
You will start to see sub-forces pop up which are not what you might expect.
32mm Bases
Forge World will move this way, but no rush and it doesn't mean anyone has to change their current models. Tony was very low key about this. Don't worry, be happy.
