jeremy1391 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I have been thinking, how long has the Indomitus pattern of terminator armor been used? I think that at least sometime during the great crusade the terminator armor used today was created. Look at chaos Terminators, I am sure they dont have access to the same amount of forge worlds and what not that imperials do and they are basically using corrupted versions of armor used by their Imperial counterparts. So I guess my question is this, If you remove the crux terminatus from regular TDA would it be conceivable to use standard terminators in a horus heresy setting?

Inquisitor Engel Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Chaos Terminators wear a similar pattern to Loyalists now because it was cheaper for GW to make it that way. Cataphractii-pattern has been shown in the Horus Heresy art books and is VAGUELY similar to current-pattern, with bigger shoulders and a gorget. Tartaros Pattern fits I-have-no-idea-where and the current pattern was introduced... no one knows. For all the solid time-lining of power armour, Terminator armour has virtually nothing. The Forge World Horus Heresy books will clear up a lot of this, I imagine.

Raven Angel Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Overall there have been 5 or 6 different patterns of TDA. The Tartaros Pattern seams to be a mini version of the Contemptor pattern Dreadnought. The Indomitus pattern is technically the version to survive the HH and still be producible. You can find other patterns here. The Cataphractii-pattern is one of the oldest and represents the original concept drawings by John Blanch http://www.tearsofenvy.com/termi-nation/armour_home.htm All of the MKs referenced here have at one time or another been represented by a model in the SM range.

jeremy1391 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Ok so according to that website the Mark 3b terminator armor has been around since around when mars fell. So during the siege of Terra it is very possible that the loyalist defenders had these suits as well.
