Games Workshop L/Astartes: Terminator Tartaros Squad

Product Information

Chapter legends are littered with examples of a handful of 1 st Company Veterans expunging a stain on the Chapter's honour despite the risks, or selflessly sacrificing themselves in the cause of victory. Most importantly, only 1 st Company Veterans can take on the role of serving as Terminators. Recruited from amongst the most battle-hardened Iron Warriors, Tyrant Siege Terminators were expected to brave the most ferocious enemy fire without regard for their own survival -- even more so than others of their grim brotherhood, they understood the mathematics of war and were ever ready to make a sacrifice in blood to secure victory. A pair of World Eaters Legion Terminators in Cataphractii Pattern Terminator Armour in battle during the Great Crusade.

Few knew of the Lernaean Terminator Squads, though not because the Alpha Legion sought to obscure their existence, but rather because they rarely left behind any witnesses of their deeds. Clad in Cataphractii Pattern Terminator Armour chased with baroque finery and armed with Volkite Chargers, Lernaean Terminators were fearsome close assault and vanguard spearhead units against which few enemies could stand. When combined with a heavy weapons system such as a Reaper Autocannon, or the Cyclone Missile Launcher first uitilised by the Tyrant Siege Terminators, these sensors made the Fulmentarus a fearsome heavy assault unit and one that, were it not for the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, might one day have entered service across the Legiones Astartes.You can also equip your dreadnought with a helical targeting array to better shoot at planes, a havoc launcher for more anti-infantry fun, or even a searchlight so that you can ignore night fighting, which is well worth the 5 points it costs to take. In such cramped environs, where a foe cannot mass his firepower or line up his heaviest weapons, there are few foes that can withstand the brutal onslaught of a unit of Assault Terminators. Heavier weapons include the heavy flamer, the assault cannon, Grenade Harness, and the cyclone missile launcher. Normally one squad member will be designated as fire support and carry one of these weapons. [3] Indeed, only one individual was ever able to do so, and that was Corax himself, giving credence to the stories that Corax was able to slip his own shadow should he choose to do so.

When he was their leader during the slave uprisings on Lycaeus, Corax's peers insisted he be watched over by a bodyguard lest the slave overlords or some other rogue element attempt to assassinate him. While he resented this, Corax allowed it, as much for his followers' peace of mind as for his own safety.Cataphractii pattern Terminator armor has distinctive slab-shaped shoulders which house additional shield generators. These improve the survivability of the armor, at the expense of reduced mobility and speed. Cataphractiii armor can be caught out in open terrain, but its added survivability makes it perfect for holding the line during engagements at close range or within tight confines.

Grey Knights Terminators are superlative warrior whose status as an elite amongst the elite forms the heart of the Grey Knights Space Marine Chapter's forces.

Cataphractii Terminators

Some such panoplies are cobbled together from multiple original suits, kept barely functional through ill-understood maintenance rites. New suits can be made by a scant few forge worlds, but not enough to offset the extensive losses suffered by the Emperor’s forces every year. Nullifactors can at least take either a Land Raider Proteus or Dreadclaw Drop Pod if you’re taking the minimum unit of 5, so they have a way of getting to where they want to be.
