Were the Justaerin just one squad of terminators in Abbaddons first company OR were they all the terminators in Abbadon's first company?

I belive the Justaerin were all the First Company

I believe they were just an elite squad of first company.

defintely only part of the first company , as there is a reference in the first two books to the assault company of the first company(i know , awful grammar)under ekaddon.

Wow how did you do the shoulder pads??

I though that abaddon wore the lilvery of the luna wolfves, or the Sons of Horus, not the smae as his company. Ah, I gotta read the books again!

Not usually a fan of this style of termi (the Preheresy kind ), but I think you've pulled them off well. Abby looks quite cool, and props on the dread topknot (from the avatar, right?)

- Salvage

EDIT: Whoops, didn't realize this was threadnomanced! Props all the same ...

Can I get a date check on this thread..? Tastes stale...

Even still, I'd love to know how he did the shoulder pads too...

Any chance the level of Threadnomancer was high enough to summon the originator?

(Please?)

Ask and you shall recieve.
Thank you very much for all the kind words.
The dread topknot is really an abaddons topknot built up with g/s
(the original one looked like a turd hat)
Abaddons shoulderpads are drednought shinguards
I used thin plasticard to make the shoulderd of the regular termies
Here is a small tutorial I made
http://www.pa-sy.com/hhccg/images/justaerin.jpg

All you need is some plastcard that is not that thick
You can even use the blisterpack the figures come in
here are pics of my templates the bolter is for size comparison


you take the trapazoid and wrap it arond your paintbrush to get the curve and use a combo of plastic and crazy glue to attach the big end of trap and put it on the termie.it may take a few to get it right.

now with the rectangle use your clippers to cut out a notch like you see on the figure below

The Pre-heresy suits had leather straps hanging down where I have chains
but you can g/s or cut out plastic strips like I did on the tabard.
leave a little lip on it uncut to ease in glueing to the shouder pad
A finished shot





and glue this piece on top of the trapazoid like you see on my marines above.
once dry trim off excess and you should be done.

The more I see of these guys the more I like them. They really have the feel of terminators but are different enough in appearance that it makes you stop and look twice.

I don't care if this thread is 10 years old, I love these guys. Eisenhorn, PLEASE continue to update us on these materpieces that you are creating.
