Terminators - Terminators: Terminators are Space Marine Veterans who have earned the right to wear Tactical Dreadnought Armour, better known as Terminator Armour. They are their Chapter's greatest infantry assets, each essentially serving as a walking tank.Tactical Dreadnought Armour combines the technological developments of power armour with the sealed environmental suits designed for starship crews that work in highly unstable or corrosive environments such as inside the high pressure casings of Plasma Reactor shields. It can even withstand the colossal impact of high speed orbital micro debris.Terminators are always members of the elite 1st Company of a Codex Astartes-compliant Space Marine Chapter.All suits of Terminator Armour have built-in teleportation devices which allow them to deploy anywhere on a planetary surface via a so-called "deep strike," although more often they are deployed using Land Raiders. Terminator Squads consist of a Terminator sergeant and between 4 and 9 Terminators.Every Space Marine Chapter maintains a number of suits of revered Tactical Dreadnought Armour. Terminator suits are the pinnacle of armoured protection available to a Space Marine. Each is all but impervious to small arms fire and can even withstand the merciless onslaught of anti-tank weaponry or the titanic pressures of teleportation through the Warp.Terminator Armour, created just before the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, is incredibly rare. Space Marines hold it a great honour to be permitted to wear such a suit in battle, and it is only to members of the Chapter's elite 1st Company who have earned the status of Veterans that this honour is granted.It requires rigorous standard years of extra training to fight in Terminator Armour. Each warrior so armoured is expected to act as an example to the rest of his brethren by fighting in the most difficult of missions and performing beyond even the lofty standards of the Adeptus Astartes.Boarding Tyranid-infested space hulks, launching teleport deep strike attacks behind enemy lines, assaulting enemy Titans and spearheading combat actions upon Death Worlds; these are the missions undertaken by Space Marine Terminators.Terminators are truly amongst the greatest heroes of Mankind, bold warriors in whom the indefatigable heroism of a Space Marine is combined with the terrible weaponry and indomitable mass of Tactical Dreadnought Armour. No foe is safe from a Terminator assault, not a horde of Orks, adamantium-clad fortress or colossal Chaos Titan.Terminators are near-invincible, unstoppable and never yield. Terminators combine centuries of experience as Astartes with some of the best armour and weapons in the Imperium. Terminators often spearhead the Space Marines' attacks, blowing apart the enemy at range, before getting in close and crushing them in a final, ruthless assault.In the Era Indomitus of the 41st Millennium, both Firstborn and Primaris Marines can serve as Terminators. Not even Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl was able to improve upon the ancient and sacred Indomitus Pattern Terminator Armour. Any Space Marine Veteran can earn the right to don a suit of Tactical Dreadnought Armour, so veterans of the Tyrannic Wars and the Indomitus Crusade alike are clad in these suits of revered ceramite.
