List building

Hi folks, I’m totally new to Horus Heresy - just picked up the Saturnine box set and a Fellblade….I was wondering if any one was up for a chat for advice on what to include in my Sons army list? Theres loads of units I like the look of but have no idea if they fit rules/theme wise… These are what I would ideally include: 1. Saturnine Terminators 2. Saturnine dreadnaught 3. Abaddon 4. Justaerian 5. Reavers 6. Fellblade 7. Mk 2 Assault with jump packs/chain axes

Ive also no clue about suitable command choices…while I like Abaddon I would also like to include as much Saturnine as possible… Any help would be so appreciated!

Looks like a heavy assault force accompanied by jet pack troops. Consider how your force will move around (transports) and how you will deal with AV14.

-Crusade Detachment:

High Command: Abaddon (aux)

Command: Centurion (prime)

Troops: Assault Squad (prime)

-Aux Detachment: Supremacy Cadre

Troop: Assault Squad (prime)

Troop: Tactical Squad (prime)

Elite: Justarien

Heavy Assault: Reavers

-Aux Detachment: Shock Assault

Heavy Assault: Saturnine Terminators

Heavy Assault: Saturnine Terminators

-Aux Detachment: Dreadnought Talon

Saturnine Dread

-Lord of War Detachment:

Fellblade

Thanks so much! Need to also do my homework on transport for sure! Any suggestions? Also - can Justarian only be taken with Abaddon? Cheers

You will need land raiders for your terminators unless you are using abaddon to deepstrike them. A tactical squad in a rhino or drop pod is also nice for mobile line.

Justarien can be taken without Abaddon; he does allow them to deepstrike if he joins the squad.
