Has anyone got a list of loyalist/traitor SA cohorts?

Im amazed there isnt more to them in the Core book.

Im after a list of Cohorts showing which legion (if thats how it worked) they were affiliated with mainly.

There isn't even a clear picture of a SA infantryman in the book to use as a guide to what bits to paint as what.

Best I have found is just aggregating the info from the HH black books, as so;
Notable Solar Auxilia Cohorts
1st to 10th Solar Auxilia Cohorts (the "Saturnyne Rams") - The original Solar Auxilia Cohorts constituted from the elite Saturnyne Ordo.
41st Espandor Solar Auxilia Cohort ("Espandor High Guard") - A much renowned cohort that took part in the Battle of Calth.
178th Solar Auxilia Cohort (the "Gate-Keepers")
187th Solar Auxilia Cohort (the "Death's Heads")
204th Solar Auxilia Cohort - A notable Solar Auxilia Cohort raised from the Manachean Commonwealth.
216th Solar Auxilia Regiment (the "Titan-killer") - A regiment that defended Nyrcon City during the Battle of Beta-Garmon.
222nd Calth Solar Auxilia Cohort - A sub-cohort that defended Platform Principia-Veridia 27/K during the Battle of Calth.
255th Calth Solar Auxilia Cohort ("Calth High Guard") - The 255th Calth Solar Auxilia was raised in late 001.M31 primarily from the Erud Provincial Militia of the Imperialis Auxilia, the best of the province's yeomanry being converted to the "Solar" template, and trained and equipped for void and exploratory warfare. During the Calth Conjunction, the 255th was deployed across several key orbital defence platforms protecting Calth Near-Space, the Main Ward Sub-Cohort being assigned to the defence of Platform Elipsia-Veridia 09/Q. They valiantly defended these orbital defence platforms during the subsequent betrayal by the traitorous Word Bearers during the Battle of Calth.
322nd Nexxas Solar Auxilia Cohort - This cohort sustained heavy losses in during the failed conquest of worlds in the Xersinia Prohibited Zone.
905th Solar Auxilia Cohort (the "Ash Scorpions") - Veterans of a dozen ferocious war zones, the discipline of battle had turned these infamous Feral Worlders into a lethally-effective fighting force. Raised from the fearsome tribal warriors of Lethe, the 905th Cohort was known for its aggression and dedication, and earned numerous battle honours in pacification wars across the Coronid Deeps before its final, glorious sacrifice at Port Maw.
933rd Solar Auxilia Cohort (the "King-Makers")
1023rd & 2774th Obed Cohorts - The Solar Auxilia forces who valiantly defended the beleaguered world of Numinal during the initial invasion of Traitor forces of the Cyclothrathine Mechanicum. Though they ultimately failed to halt the invasion, they splintered into a resistance guerrilla force, which used their expertise in the swamps and semi-aquatic terrain that dominated Numinal to their advantage, terrain that was anathema to the Mechanicum's heaviest combat units. As a result, the Cyclothrathine forces were entangled in a continued campaign of opportunistic assaults and sabotage which required further deployments to counteract, slowing their plans of attack elsewhere in the region. This forced the recall of Archmagos Yelav Draykavac, Cyclothrathe's principal warlord, from another campaign in order to deal with the violent upswing in resistance and civil unrest. With the help of Loyalist forces from the Agathean Cohorts and Imperial Knights of Houses Orhlacc and Hermetika, the Obed Cohorts played an instrumental part in driving the invaders from their world.
1522nd Solar Auxilia Cohort (the "Lord Marshal's Own") - This much-honoured cohort fought at the vanguard of the 60th Expeditionary Fleet for many years, before finally breaking the stalemate at Agathon and bringing the world to Imperial Compliance. Claiming Right of Conquest, Lord Marshal MaSade occupied the world and replaced its ruling aristocracy with his own officer corps. For an entire generation, the force served as a household army to the MaSade dynasty, Iraton MaSade himself still thriving thanks to rare and costly life-prolonging treatment until the 1522nd was reconstituted to confront the forces of betrayal sweeping through the Coronid Deeps.
2333rd Solar Auxilia Cohort (the "Iron Hearts")
6629th Solar Auxilia Cohort - A notable Solar Auxilia Cohort whose elite Veletaris units retained Volkite Weapons as their preferred weapon of choice, which would prove more effective than any other tactical armament against the Traitor Legiones Astartes the Loyalists would later face during the Horus Heresy.
6633rd Solar Auxilia Cohort - The 6633rd was one of many Cohorts deployed at Manachea that fought in the eleven-day Battle of Hive Ilium. Anticipating the need to conduct Expeditionary warfare against xenos remnants across the region, these units were founded according to the Solar template and were granted the right to bear the blue and yellow livery of the Ultima Segmentum Armada Imperialis.
Agathean Cohorts - Since their world of Agathon was brought into Imperial Compliance during the Great Crusade, it became a highly organised and productive Hive World, with an overriding military aesthetic to its culture. Its sizable standing military, the Agathean Cohorts, bore direct lineal descent to the Solar Auxilia, and acted to dominate the Coronid Reach region as the standing Imperial defence force.
Arkadian Solar Auxilia Cohorts - Numerous Cohorts were raised from the trans-Solar Hive Worlds of Arkadia. The 278th Solar Auxilia Cohort is one of these notable "Head-hunter" Cohorts.
Carak'tak "Scarborn" Cohorts - Solar Auxilia Cohorts raised from the Feral World of Carak'tak, this savage force entered into legend as the only non-Legiones Astartes force to survive the Khrave onslaught at Perdition's Gate.
Cthonian "Headhunter" Cohorts - Solar Auxilia Cohorts raised from the savage world of Cthonia. "Headhunter" Cohorts combined the savagery and élan often found on such warlike worlds with the discipline and firepower the Solar Auxilia was rightly famed for, forming a truly deadly combination. The Cthonian Headhunters would go on to accompany the 63rd Expeditionary Fleet of the Warmaster Horus. The 142nd Solar Auxilia Cohort is one of these notable "Head-hunter" Cohorts.
Cthonian "Jackals" Cohorts - Solar Auxilia recruited from the people of the Sons of Horus' homeworld of Cthonia, but judged unsuitable for Legiones Astartes conversion. During the opening years of the Horus Heresy, they were installed as Port Maw's garrison. Beneath this shadow, the hives of Manachea became little more than vast slave-camps run by those natives who had pledged themselves wholly to Horus and who now competed with each other to prove their loyalty by enforcing the brutal quotas demanded by their distant and merciless overlord.
Shoar "Skull Taker" Cohorts - Raised from the Feral World of Shoar located in the Grail Abyss, its hardy and brutal native population lived lives locked in unremitting tribal warfare. Formidable physical specimens and able fighters, the Shoar were inducted in large numbers into the Imperial Auxilia, forming several "skull taker" cohorts attached to the 7th and 60th Expeditionary Fleets, and it is believed several intakes were sent to Terra to determine their suitability for Space Marine Legion recruitment with unknown outcome before civil war was to shatter the Imperium.

I honestly think it would be better to create a 30K section for Dakka, being that its now four games and could probably thrive on just Heresy and Legions alone.

Casual gaming, mostly solo-coop these days.

Just been searching and found this, shows which expedition fleet went with which Astartes legion and if any Army or Solar Auxillia was with them.

Been looking specifically which SA units (and the colour scheme) fought with Emperors Children mostly.
