Hannibal Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Hi all, I just noticed that Abaddon can be fielded in 30k as a special character in a Sons of Horus Traitor legion. Well, I just wonder which color scheme such a force would have. On the FW website Abaddon and the Justaerin Terminators are painted in the same colors as the 40k Black Legion (black armour, bronze trims, red shoulder pads) while the colors schmeme for Sons of Horus seems to be that kind of green-blue. Therefore I wonder which color scheme I should use if I´d like to run a force led by Abaddon.

BadgersinHills Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Justaerin and Catlan Revears are painted in the First Company colours, so is Abaddon. Any not from the First Company wear the green.

battle captain corpus Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Yeah, as First Company Captain he wears the black. All of the 1st company wear black, the Catulan Reavers (I think?) are described as wearing black in Horus Rising also. This is Luna Wolves era also. Abaddon and an elite army would look fantastic and I’ve seen some great projects out there! Keep us all updated!

Marshal Loss Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 The other posters are correct: Abaddon should always be wearing black. To add to this, if you want to theme your Sons of Horus around the late-heresy, you can base the scheme more off the Dark Compliance example shown in Book 6: Retribution. As the heresy went on the Sons of Horus added more black & gold to their scheme (Bligh said it reflected their growing arrogance & role as the Warmaster's Praetorians; the green darkens, they add more black, and the bronze turns more into a royal gold). So you can have first company with black & red combined with regular companies mixing black & green. This is also a subtle homage to the original scheme of the Sons of Horus in the earliest ever lore, where they all wore black. bluntblade and Sandlemad 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363475-an-army-led-by-abaddon-which-color-scheme/#findComment-5512547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Slaves to Darkness mentions Aximand's "War Clan" all wearing helmets with gold-dipped skulls for faceplate, so I imagine that Abaddon's own would feature extensive customisation. Though only the Justaerin. Catulan Reavers and the Death-Marked are First Company and would wear all black.
