I had a thought - in the fluff, we hear quite a bit that Imperial Fists favored Indomitus terminator armor during the heresy, and it absolutely true that the VII Legion has quite a few toys to play with when it comes to vanilla terminators, but after reading Praetorian of Dorn I had a brain-blast in terms of a new Imperial Fists-specific terminator squad. I'd love to get your input! Also, apologies in advance if this isn't the right place for this - mods, please feel free to move if needed! -- Imperial Fists - Huscarl Terminator Squad The elite warriors of the Primarch Rogal Dorn’s personal bodyguard, Huscarl Terminators were equally at home wading into the thick of battle with sword and shield as they were overseeing the fortification of the Imperial Palace in the days leading up to the Siege of Terra. Huscarl Terminator Squad - 270 Points WS 5 / BS 4 / S 4 / T 4 / W 2 / I 4 / A 2 / Ld 8 / Sv 2+ Huscarl Terminator Castellan WS 5/ BS 4 / S 4 / T 4 / W 2 / I 4 / A 3 / Ld 9 / Sv 2+ Unit Composition – 4 Huscarl Terminators, 1 Huscarl Terminator Castellan Unit Type – Infantry Wargear – Indomitus-Sol Pattern Terminator Armour, Vigil-Pattern Storm Shield, Power Weapon Dedicated Transport – A Huscarl Terminator squad numbering five models or less may take a Land Raider Proteus or Phobos as a Dedicated Transport.

When paired with a Vigil-Pattern Storm Shield, the armor provides nigh-impenetrable defense while still allowing Dorn’s chosen to fight unencumbered. Indomitus-Sol Pattern Terminator Armour confers a +5 invulnerable save and makes any model equipped with Indomitus-Sol Pattern Terminator Armour count as having assault grenades for the purpose of resolving charges. Unbreakable Defense – A Huscarl Terminator or Huscarl Terminator Sergeant may re-roll failed invulnerable saves of 1 when in base-to-base contact with at least two other models from this unit. Praetorians of Dorn – A Huscarl Terminator squad may be chosen instead of a Command squad as a bodyguard for any Terminator armor-equipped Praetor of the Imperial Fists (or the Primarch Rogal Dorn himself). Huscarl terminators must always be modelled/painted to be visually distinct from standard Legion Terminator models when used in this fashion.
