Arkadian Janissary - 4621st Cohort Solar Auxilia

[MolotovKraken]

Andy: My Lasrifle Section and Dracosan Heavy Transport are drawn from the 4621st Solar Auxilia Cohort, one of the ‘Arkadian Janissary’ cohorts. These units have an association with the III Legiones Astartes, the Emperor’s Children. I’ve intentionally kept the colours in line with my Legion force, but stayed away from too much ornamentation as I’m sure the haughty sons of Fulgrim wouldn’t be too keen on their mortal auxiliary forces competing for attention!

Arkadian ‘Janissaries’ ​

The Arkadian 'Janissary’ were once drawn from the highly militarised populations of the bastion-hives of Arkadia. Though originally clad in armour of gunmetal grey and undersuits of dark grey, several Arkadian cohorts have pledged themselves to the service of the III Legion – the Emperor’s Children – and taken to bearing the Tyrion purple of that legion as a token of their loyalty. It is notable that the Arkadians have never been formally inducted into the service of the III Legion, and have never been counted in the ranks of the Legiones Auxilia, making the relationship somewhat unilateral.

• Armour: Iron Warriors and Xereus Purple
• Cloth: Dawnstone
• Decorative details: Ironbreaker
• Gun casing: Abaddon Black

Three tanks bearing the standard Exertus Service Grey with vertical bands of purple and black. All bar a handful of Arkadian cohorts are counted among the Traitor ranks, and in the latter days of the galactic civil war many bore the icons of the Ruinous Powers upon their hulls.
