Catulan Reaver

A Sons of Horus Legionary of the 1st Company's elite Catulan Reaver Assault Squad

The Catulan Reaver were one of the two distinct sub-formations of the elite 1st Company of the Sons of Horus Legion. Like their Justaerin contemporaries in the 1st Company's other elite squad, they too, sported the signature black armour which denoted their specialisation in harrowing actions and hit-and-run tactics. They were led by an officer with the rank of Captain under the overall command of the Legion's and the 1st Company's First Captain Ezekyle Abaddon. They also made extensive use of Terminator Armour, taking advantage of its additional protection and ability to smash aside any opposition. Used in combination, these two elite formations of the 1st Company exemplified Primarch Horus' predilection for precise and overwhelming attacks against strategic targets.
