Chaos Terminator - Wargear: As any Space Marine in service to the Emperor will recount, a suit of Terminator Armour of any of the known patterns is an ancient and sacred artefact to be reverently maintained.The armour is massively bulky and contains a full array of fibre bundles and adamantium rods to support the heavy-gauge plasteel and ceramite plates that form the outer carapace.Legend has it that the Crux Terminatus emblazoned on each suit's shoulder incorporates a fragment of the Emperor's own blessed armour. Each Chapter can muster only a hundred or so of these suits, and not all of their systems are properly understood, as their workmanship is from a bygone age. Nonetheless, those Veteran Astartes given the honour of wearing one of these masterpieces to war are the most formidable foot soldiers in the Imperium.The war suit worn by a Chaos Terminator, on the other hand, is as corrupt and twisted as the Traitor within. Where once Imperial insignia were emblazoned upon its pauldrons and greaves, leering death's heads and the Eye of Horus now stare accusingly at those brave enough to look upon them.Spiked trophy racks protrude from massive shoulders, the skulls of the enemy a barbaric testament to their wearer's martial prowess. Helmets have grown into bestial masks that sprout great tusks and razored horns, many of which have fused directly into the skulls of their wearers.When twinned with the stomping, heavy gait typical of all Terminators, these adornments conspire to give the impression of a slab-muscled, predatory hulk searching for its next meal.The wargear of Chaos Terminators varies dramatically, including weapons taken as trophies from slain foes, and arcane equipment carefully maintained since the Horus Heresy. Chaos Terminators usually use ranged weapons, typically a Combi-weapon of some type such as a Combi-bolter, and a chainaxe, Power Maul, Power Claw, Power Axe or other powerful close combat weapon.This deadly combination of devastating anti-personnel firepower and clout in close quarters fighting makes a Chaos Terminator a deadly and highly-feared opponent. Some of these Chaos Space Marines carry heavier and more powerful weapons such as the double-barrelled Reaper Autocannon and the terrifying Heavy Flamer to provide supporting fire for their comrades.Other Chaos Terminators enhance their abilities in close combat and wield a pair of Lightning Claws with which to carve up an enemy, or use a Chainfist for cutting through armoured vehicles and starship bulkheads.A Chaos Space Marine wearing Terminator Armour of any of the known patterns can move and operate with remarkable freedom and agility considering the sheer mass of the actual armour, which provides as much protection as an armoured tank hull.Chaos Terminators are not the swiftest of troops when it comes to reaching the enemy's battle lines. To counter this, they often employ the use of a Chaos Land Raider as a transport vehicle that can smash open the fortifications of the enemy. This allows its murderous passengers to reach the foe without having to first navigate the fierce bombardments so often arrayed against them.Much like their Loyalist counterparts, Chaos Terminators can also be teleported directly into battle from the vaulted halls of their warships using arcane technology dating back to the time of the Great Crusade, though they are as likely to use potent Chaos sorcery for such a strike as they are ancient science.The sudden appearance of a unit of Chaos Terminators within the enemy's headquarters has spelled the bloody end of many a protracted campaign.
