SoH Legionary Catulan Reaver — A Sons of Horus Legionary of one of the 1st Company's elite Catulan Reaver Assault Squads

The Catulan Reaver Assault Squads were one of the two distinct sub-formations of the elite 1st Company of the Sons of Horus Legion. Like their Justaerin Terminator Squad contemporaries in the rest of the 1st Company, they too, sported the signature black Power Armour which denoted their specialisation in harrowing actions and hit-and-run tactics. They were led by an officer with the unusual rank of Captain under the overall command of the Legion's First Captain Ezekyle Abaddon, who was also the overall commander of the entire 1st Company as well as the battle leader of the Justaerin squads. The Catulan Reavers also made extensive use of Terminator Armour, taking advantage of its additional protection and potent weaponry to hammer any opposition, though as Assault Squads they more often made use of Jump Packs and melee weapons to soften up the foe for their Justaerin counterparts to later demolish. Used in combination, these two elite formations of the Sons of Horus' 1st Company exemplified the Primarch Horus' predilection for precise and overwhelming attacks against strategic targets.

Kalus Ekaddon - Ekaddon was the Captain of the Catulan Reaver Assault Squads of the elite 1st Company during the final days of the Great Crusade and the early Horus Heresy.
