1st Captain Abaddon of the Justaerin

[esinhorn]

I decided to start using the Max-Mini shoulders and you know what.

There are shoulderpads that work very well for the 1st captain.

I hope they make some new batches soon especially the one with the straps

The other 4 Justaerin will be in the classic straps for the most part.

I would like to do 5 close combat and 5 with ranged.

Remember when you paint him that the Luna Wolves / Sons of Horus Termies wore black armour.... A lot of people screw that up and paint it white.... which is WRONG.

Actually color depends on which fluff you use.

1)Luna wolves wore white.

2)Sons of horus wore some shade of green.

3)Black Legion as they are now wears Black.

4) If for any reason someone feels it should be different then they should go with it and have fun so long as they can either justify it fluff wise or acknowladge it aint accepted cannon.

 

My reference is page 21 of The Horus Heresy collected visions

But the Justaerin were always black as were the Catulan Reavers(1st company Jumpack assault unit "1st in last out")

[lee265]

Your right of course I misread the post above me. Not all the tactical drednaught armour of the legion were Black though though just the Justaerin. I remember that bit now from the books. However the option to paint it however looks the best is still my favorite even if its less fluffy.

In the hope of making my first post useful, some pertinent quotes:

 

Horus Rising, page 22:

 

Loken magnified his view, resolving hundreds of

white-armoured figures pouring through the smoke and

chop-fire. At the front of them, the dark figures of First Company’s

foremost Terminator squad, the Justaerin. They wore polished

black armour, dark as night, as if they belonged to some

other, black Legion.

 

Horus Rising, page 360:

 

The Astartes formed two unwavering

blocks of white figures, rigid and still, their front rows

a glossy black line of Justaerin Terminators.

 

Galaxy In Flames, page 60:

 

Abaddon and Aximand stood to

one side. Both warriors were armoured, Abaddon in the glossy

black of the Justaerin, Aximand in his pale green plate.

 

Emphases mine.

Great model so far. Oh, btw Abbadon isn't of the Justaerin, they're just his favoured unit; the Leader of the Justaerin is Falkus Kibre.

[esinhorn]

Yes you are technically correct.

In game terms Falkus is the Sgt and Abaddon the the attached HQ B)

[Lady_Mournival]

bit of obvious trivia, whoever answers first gets a cookie: What's the nickname of Falkus Kibre?

[Pcm979]

It's either "Fally K" or "Widowmaker".

[Lady_Mournival]

It's either "Fally K" or "Widowmaker".

Widowmaker is correct; congratulations, you won a metaphorical cookie that really stands for the reward of knowledge.

[esinhorn]

Falkus is the next one I do.

[Lady_Mournival]

Falkus is the next one I do.

Can't wait, Falkus was always one of the characters they never delved into that you wanted them to.

[Thanatos73]

Very nice work, I really like the Maxmini shoulder pads. I wish those were out when I did my PH Wolfguard Terminators, they look much better than the Dreadnought leg armor.

[esinhorn]

That they do look so much better than dred shins,and dred shins look damn good too mind you.

But here he is basecoated

[Captain Juan Juarez]

The Widowmaker even gets a mention in Soul Hunter.

[Vissah]

Its pretty simple the First Compagny of the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus wears black armour the rest white/green.

 

Anyway nice looking model Im building a Horus with the same eye on his chest and the part with the wire looks really good mind if I steal it ;)

[Lady_Mournival]

Abbadon and Falkus look great; can\t wait to see Falkus painted.

[Sons of Horus]

give the Widowmaker a helmet please :lol: both models look superb though :tu:

[Sons of Horus]

actually only Abaddon was mentioned having a topknot not the entire Justaerin :cuss

[Pcm979]

Actually, a lot of Terminators were depticted as having topknots in the Collected Visions... On their backpacks, oddly enough. :cuss

[esinhorn]

I plan to put them on thier helmets but you are right the artbooks have them on top of thier shoulders.
