Void Stalkers Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 me and a friend of mine are starting 1000 point armies, i would like to put a small squad of terminators in my army that have long range weapons, is it worth it of would it just eat up a good chunk of my list? i was thinking about replacing them with a squad of death guard and a couple obliterators Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139951-terminators-in-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Stalker Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 cheap 3 man with reaper - some folks like them ... oblits are too vulnerable to fists and lascannon fire imo ... but still, they are best HS choice and better than terminators Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139951-terminators-in-army/#findComment-1616653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blackbone Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Haven't used them myself yet, but I saw a unit of 3-4 all with combi-meltas used to great effect. It seemed to be a unit that can really threaten vehicles and can't be ignored. - Blackbone Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139951-terminators-in-army/#findComment-1616662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I use 2x3 - sometimes 2x4 Terminators with combi's and a Chainfist, as suicide DS units. They wreak havoc (pun intended) everywhere they go. They're quite cheap for what they can (often) do. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139951-terminators-in-army/#findComment-1616679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deneris Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I'd say go with the Terminators; In Apocalypse-sized games I tend to field three units of Tzeentch Termies, and the enemy has a "fun" time trying to kill them before they gut his forces. What's the theme of your force of Chaos marines? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139951-terminators-in-army/#findComment-1616892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamnothere Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 For some reason 4 man squads with 3 combi meltas and a heavy flamer keeps popping into my head. I think it comes to 150pts and can be a right nightmare.

DuskRaider Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I find Terminators are essential to a Chaos army. I use at least 1 squad of 7, at times 2 squads of 7. They can come in pretty much anywhere, they have the best armor saves, and can take all the good stuff. I highly recommend!

chillin Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I like termi's but would not take them in a 1000pt army. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139951-terminators-in-army/#findComment-1617005 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fearlessgod Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I'm with chillin on this one. I never take Terminators under 1500 points. I guess I'm old school, but under 1500 points I'd rather spend the points on the "core" of my army.... troops and heavy support. I take them in my 1500 point list and even add a Land Raider at 2000 points. Now, this is just my experience. If you want them in your 1000 point army, go ahead and get them. Have fun and let us know how you do... ~fearlessgod~ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139951-terminators-in-army/#findComment-1617017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I actually completely avoid Heavy in 1000 point games, Terminators fill that role well, especially with combi-bolters and a reaper autocannon.

I agree - would go this route like DuskRaider - but remember if you use the same 1000 pt army list all the time, your foes will figure out a way to beat it - :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139951-terminators-in-army/#findComment-1617430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
