[[Image:TalonOfHorus.jpg|thumb|right|220px|The Talon of Horus]]
The '''Talon of Horus''' is a large [[Lightning Claw]], fitted with an early custom-built [[Storm Bolter]] that is wielded by [[Abaddon the Despoiler]]. It ==History==The Talon of Horus was originally built by the [[Dark Mechanicum]] for [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]] shortly before the start of the [[Horus Heresy]], but was taken up by Abaddon after his master's death and the reclamation of Horus' body from the hands of the [[Emperor's Children]] following the [[Battle of Harmony]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}
==Appearance==
The weapon takes the form of a large silver lighting claw with thumb blade and integral [[storm bolter]] that runs from the wrist to knuckles of the gauntlet. The ancient bolter fires to the same effect as a modern storm bolter. Two belts of ammunition are fed into the weapon from the right side and howling faces of daemons cover the casing ejectors.
