minionboy Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 So I wanted to share a unit that I've had a fair bit of luck with lately: 5 Chaos Terminators: 5 Combi-plasmas, 1 Power Sword, 1 Chain Fist Occasionally, I throw on VoTLW, if I have the 15 points to spare. This unit is under 200 points and has paid for itself just about every time. Has anyone else had any luck with some similar units? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nehekhare Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 what kind of powerweapons do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 That does look good, though I admit I would usually put mark of Tzeentch on them :P I'm also interested in what power weapons you give them, I'd be tempted to give them a mix of power axes and mauls, possibly dropping the combi plasma on one and giving him a pair of lightning claws. What kind of units have you been using them against? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggnuggath Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I have been using a unit like that. I gave them a chainfist, 2 mauls and 2 axes. I think they have played a useful role so far and alleviate pressure from my obliterators and marines. I certainly think cheap and cheerful is the way to go with chaos terminators.

*Furyou Miko Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I love chaos terminators. Their lack of storm shields means they are the perfect target for my Exorcists. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurfalypse Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I really like this unit setup. Gonna have to try it out and see if it fits my play style. As far as odd types of units being run, I sometimes use a large unit of CSMs (14-20 strong) with Mark of Khorne, Plasmaguns, Icon of Wrath, Bolt Pistol, Bolter, CCW, VotLW and just go to town. When I run them they tend to fair very well, though I have gotten away from it lately with the Daemon allies I have been sporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minionboy Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks for the feedback guys. Personally, I run 3 Power Axes and a Power Sword on the sergeant, though I might swap him out for an axe soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 2 ax 2 mace 1 sword 1 fist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nehekhare Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'd run them exactly like that. If only they were scoring, I might spare the points (hint: they are in HH). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I run mine with 3 maces and 2 fists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtoof Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Quick related question. Assuming I want to take a unit of terminators all with combi plas, the champion has to pay the points out of the wargear list rather than the unit entry as he is not a 'chaos terminator', am I correct?

chillin Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 3 swords, 1 axr, 1 fist (sometimes 2 axes dedending of what else I hav going on, but usually 1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dakath Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I run my 7 man squad with 2 Chainfists, 2 Swords, 2 Maces and an axe. I do need to convert them to get combi-plasmas. For some reason I completely spaced that combi-plasma was even an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 This is crazy... but units of 10 maybe? Obviously only in bigger games, but either a nice 10 man unit, or 2 smaller units would be a serious problem for your opponent, as with their firepower they would be dangerous to pretty much everything. I'm just sad I gave 2 of my terminators reaper autocannon, is it so hard for GW to make it decent and not horribly overcosted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 10 are too big . you could run something like this. 2x8 termis 1xhuron 3x3oblits 2xdrakes 2x20 cultists 1x5csm plasma gun kind of a brutal if you roll 2+ on number of infiltrating units , there is no chooser , not too many drop pods/necron gunlines/IG carparks/av13-14 builds and go first.

Mr.darkness Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 So do you guys just walk up the field? stick to cover? deepstrike? LR? I haven't had much luck with walking terminators in other armies, but maybe I should give it a go again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 you walk. LR are crap for chaos and puting <5 non SS armed terminators in to one is a lot less efficient then puting the same points in to extra terminators. ah and if your looking for a good army , then no non of the elite choices are worth taking before you max out FA/hvy and troops and if you do max out those your hiting over2k+points and get double FA/Hvy slots to fill up before you can think about elites.

Ammonius Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 So do you guys just walk up the field? stick to cover? deepstrike? LR? I haven't had much luck with walking terminators in other armies, but maybe I should give it a go again. Remember, a 5++ save is the same as the cover save you would normally get in 6th. If your opponent has the correct tools to gun down Teq, you aren't any more safe in cover (unless, obviously, you are breaking LOS completely or have some 4+ or better terrain on the table) so you may as well march in a flying V down the field :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minionboy Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 I deploy my plasmanators based on my opponent. If I need to castle up against them (like against nid big bugs), then I deploy them with the rest of my army, but if my enemy has a lot of anti TEQ firepower, then I'll reserve them so they aren't hurt before they deliver their payload.
