Deathwing - Deathwing Terminator Squads: The battle-brothers of the Deathwing take no pride in their exceptional reputation. Their absolute devotion to the Chapter leaves no room for anything but a cold and steely fanaticism, and they would advance willingly into the very maw of the Warp itself were they ordered to do so.Whether fighting in a Deathwing Terminator Squad, or advancing at the side of a Chapter hero as part of his Deathwing Command Squad, these warriors are amongst the greatest in the Imperium.In battle, these indefatigable Astartes blast apart their enemies with Storm Bolters whilst advancing into melee assault range. Deathwing Terminators feature a mix of weaponry, for both long-ranged and close combat oriented roles. While the hallmark armaments of the Terminators are Power Fists and Storm Bolters, it is typical for one warrior in the squad to carry a heavy ranged weapon such as a Plasma Cannon or a Heavy Flamer.The battle-brothers of those Deathwing Terminator Squads equipped for close combat roles as Assault Terminators might instead be armed with Thunder Hammers and Storm Shields, or pairs of vicious Lightning Claws.Terminators typically begin engagements aboard an orbiting voidship, teleporting to the battlefield at a prearranged time, often homing in on a signal from ranging Ravenwing units. By the time foes see the flash signifying the arrival of the Deathwing's Terminators, it is already too late. The Deathwing appear in a blazing hail of gunfire, as if they had begun firing while en route. They live up to their name, arriving like a sword stroke to deliver the deathblow.The constant regime of ritual, contemplation and self-denial undergone by the Deathwing scours their souls clean of impurities. They are mentally and spiritually armoured against the temptations of the Daemon and the Heretic, deaf to their lies and blandishments just as they are to pleas of innocence or cries for mercy.The battle-brothers of the Deathwing -- whether indoctrinated into the Inner Circle or not -- fight in the full knowledge that they are weapons, extensions of their masters' will, and indeed the Imperium has few weapons greater; the 1st Company of the Ist Legion might not bask in their terrifying, glorious reputation, but they always live up to it.The battle-brothers of the Deathwing pay no heed to their exceptional reputation, nor do they take pride in the respect they command from allies and enemies alike. They know that their physical and mental fortitude is merely what is necessary to discharge their duties, for they prize humble monastic asceticism and selflessness above arrogance and false platitudes.On battlefields across the galaxy, the veteran warriors of the Deathwing continue to march unflinching into the fires of war. They feel no compassion, no remorse, and no fear. Their absolute devotion to their Chapter and its secret cause leaves room for nothing else, and in wars beyond count, it has proven enough.It took only three squads of Deathwing Terminators to break the back of the Pontus rebellion, cleansing an entire hive city in the process. While hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Astra Militarum and dozens of other Space Marine Chapters had tried and failed to breach the iron-ringed defences of the rebel tyrant of Dominus Prime, it took the Deathwing under a single solar hour to end the war that had lasted over five long and bloody Terran years.Contaminated hive cities and entire rebellious planets have fallen before them, and them alone.
