It is bulky and somewhat crude, but very effective, weapon prototype that gained widespread use at the time of the Horus Heresy. The ancient Combi-Bolter is in essence two standard pattern bolters slaved to fire together. The weapon takes the form of a large silver Lightning Claw with a thumb blade and an integrated Combi-Bolter that runs from the wrist to the knuckles of the claw's gauntlet. Abaddon currently uses the Talon as one of the primary emblems of his authority over the Forces of Chaos. Talon of Horus - The Talon of Horus is a large archaic Lightning Claw, fitted with an early custom-built Combi-Bolter that is currently wielded by Abaddon the Despoiler, the greatest Champion of Chaos, leader of the Black Legion and the current Warmaster of Chaos Undivided after he reclaimed it from the body of Horus himself at the end of the Horus Heresy.However, what they were truly referred to by their master and owner remains, like so many other things about Curze, a mystery. They were given the unusual names of Mercy and Forgiveness in a typical display of the Night Lords' grim sense of humor. Mercy and Forgiveness - This pair of murderous, Artificer-crafted Lightning Claws were favoured by the Night Lords Primarch Konrad Curze as his personal weapons.Their pattern and manufacture are unknown to the Tech-priests of Mars. Named Hunger and Slake, each of these heavy gauntlet-like devices of uncertain origin combine barbed Power Blades and an inner maw fitted with mechanised Adamantium teeth. He is equipped with a pair of unique Power Weapons with which he has developed a murderous degree of skill. Hunger and Slake - Tyberos the Red Wake is the First Captain and former Force Commander of the Carcharodons Space Marine Chapter during their unlooked-for and savage intervention in the Badab War.Currently they are worn by Shadow Captain Kayvaan Shrike of the 3rd Company of the Raven Guard Chapter. They are said to be unbreakable and to easily cut through any armour. Raven's Talons - The Raven's Talons are a pair of Lightning Claws which are said to have been personally crafted by the Primarch Corax on his homeworld of Deliverance after the Istvaan V Drop Site Massacre during the Horus Heresy.They allow the wielder to cut four times instead of once with each strike, either slashing to maximise a warrior's chance of hitting the foe or stabbing deep to ensure a swift kill. Used most effectively in pairs, Wolf Claws are angled to echo the talons of the wolf. Primarily used by the savage warriors of the Space Wolves Chapter, Wolf Claws are heavily armoured gauntlets with curved, razor-edged talons sheathed in a rippling power field. Wolf Claw Pattern - Wolf Claws are a variant of the Lightning Claws used by other Space Marine Chapters.These venerable weapons are still bestowed upon the Shadow Captains of the modern era Raven Guard Chapter in recognition of the military prowess of these superb warriors, and as a sign of their elite status as Company commanders. Raven's Talon Pattern - These unique and jealously guarded variants of Lightning Claws, each a work of art in its own right, were synonymous with the Raven Guard Legion during the Great Crusade era and often bestowed as a mark of honour to warriors amongst them.This is a favoured weapon of the Sons of Corax, who prefer to strike their foes down from an unanticipated quarter with cold, hard efficiency. Hawk's Talon Pattern - The Hawk's Talon is a pattern of Lightning Claw primarily used by the Raven Guard Chapter and its Successors.It is a common weapon seen within the ranks of this feral Chapter whose Astartes prefer to get to grips with the enemy in brutal, close combat assaults. Fenris Pattern - The Fenris Pattern is a model of Lightning Claw primarily used by the Space Wolves Space Marine Chapter.Angel's Talon Pattern - The Angel's Talon Pattern Lightning Claw is the most common pattern of the weapon used amongst the Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes.Later configurations would specialise in dual claw-usage, but many still prefer the single claw for greater tactical flexibility. Early models of Terminator Armour featured a single claw, allowing the warrior to carry a ranged weapon in the other gauntlet. ![]() ![]()
