Although the Tactical Dreadnought Armour project was conceived first and
foremost for the use of the Legiones Astartes, it was inevitable given
the success of Terminator armour that its principles could also be
adapted for Legio Custodes use. The first pattern developed was what
became known as Aquilon armour. Advancing yet further upon the
Cataphractii Terminator armour patterns, the Aquilon pattern takes into
account the enhanced physique of the Legio Custodes as being able to
bear more weight and strain than even a Space Marine, and so is fitted
with additional integrated power systems and capacitors which make up
for some of the limitations of the origin pattern. This allows for the
Cataphractii Terminator armour’s famous durability to be retained in the
Aquilon pattern, but with a degree of speed and manoeuvrability the
former lacks.
This multi-part resin kit contains the components necessary to assemble 3
Legio Custodes Aquilon Terminators with Infernus Firepikes. Sharing
much of their components with the standard Aquilon Terminators, they are
noticeably more complex-looking than standard Tactical Dreadnought
armour, with additional integrated power systems and capacitors adding
detail to the model. They differ from the standard Terminators in that
each is armed with an Infernus firepike and Solerite power talon. 3
different helmets are included, with 1 bare head option. The
breastplates, pauldrons and top plates are detailed with Imperial
iconography, and there are 3 plumes, made up of 2 different designs.
This kit comes as 31 components, and is supplied with 3 50mm round
bases. Rules for fielding these models in games of The Horus Heresy are
available in The Horus Heresy Book Seven – Inferno.
