Talthus Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I have a simple question that sort of just happened to pop in to my head. Did the Luna Wolves/ Sons of Horus have terminators that weren't a part of Abaddon's Justaerin? Yah know, painted in regular legion colors and such? Just curious, and as far as I know it is never definitively stated in the novels... Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge some of the companies had their own terminators, but the justaerian specifically were just a squad; all other terminators (in the first company or not) were painted in normal legion colours.

the jeske Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 most legions used terminator armor like WWI tanks were used. single squads to support meq or armors of leaders/bodyguard. It was late in the crusade when AL got the idea that maybe it would be good to use terminators in mass own formations outside of boarding actions .

Artein Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Were Justaerins just one squad or the whole company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Mournival Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Were Justaerins just one squad or the whole company? They were just a squad, Abbadon's favoured, and the elite of the Luna Wolves, lead by Falkus Kibre (also known as the Widowmaker). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Caerolion Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'd thought the Justaerin was the term for all Sons of Horus Terminators. It certainly seems that way, given that the Justaerin are still around 10,000 years later, as they're seen in Soul Hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per example, the squad of terminators that were attached to Loken's Company during the Whisperheads Incident were notwJustaerin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctus Cornix Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Mecharius is correct, the Justaetrin was just a single squad, although the most notable of course. The only thing I would have to say in opposition, is I believe it was mentioned that all of the first company had black power armour, as mentioned in the beginning of Horus Rising. (can't confirm because I'm not at home with my book right now) I believe it is also confirmed by the description of the reaver captain and his squad, who are also mentioned to be in black armour.

I personally believe it is just Katulan Reaver Squad and the Justaerin, as they are the elites, within an elite (first company), within an elite (luna wolves), but I am also at a lack for the book since it's at home (college is almost done, so I'll be going back to my preciouses soon! ;)). EDIT: And Abbadon of course :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Caerolion Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Maybe that's where I'm getting confused. The Terminators supporting Lokens group had black armour, they just weren't Justaerin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
