GodEmperorOfMankind Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hi guys, I've got a set of Dark Vengeance Terminators I'm converting to Heresy/chaos termies,I'm planning on getting some more as they're so cheap, to make at least one 10man squad, possibly another 2 squads. http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg586/clarkus-maximus/2013-05-05134456_zps97740fcf.jpg My question is how should I load them out? Currently they have fists, as shown above, should I leave them with the fists, or convert them with mauls/axes/swords/claws? If so, what percentage of what? Also, combi bolters, combi weapons or volkite chargers? cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275003-terminator-loadout/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJL Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 well the internets would say small squads with all combi meltas for tank busting. i take mine with 2 combi meltas, reaper atuocannon, 2 power mauls, 1 lightning claw and 2 power fists. seams to do fine.

Tenebris Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I find three things almost mandatory when you field chaos terminators. First, one chainfist as a base, you never know when you have to face enemy armor, second, our power weapons are free thus make them power axes, AP 2 is too good to skip, third, MSU is perhaps the best way to field them. Cheap, cheerful and expendable. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275003-terminator-loadout/#findComment-3364735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 It depends on how you want to use them. Deepstrike heavy armor killers need to be as cheap as possible since they drop in, fire once and then eat incoming fire that wipes them out. 3 terminator models: 3 combi-melta or 2 melta 1 plasma. If you want an assault squad in a Land Raider -- well I would try to talk you out of it but if it is what you want -- 5 models: 1 CF, 2 TLC, 2 Axes If you want a mobile firing platform to deepstrike in, take out a target and stay in the back to harass and hold, 6 models: Reaper, 2 X combi-plasma, (c-bolters for the rest) 1 CF, 2 axes, 3 single LC. This is the only unit that would be on the table and not locked in combat for more than one shooting phase so it is the only one I would spend points for a reaper AC on. Or you could just go with a mix of whatever looks cool. Unlike some loyalist armies, chaos terminators are not key elements we build a list around. Just be frugal with their cost and they will do OK.

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 cheers for the replies guys, I'm making the units mainly for my 30k Iron Warriors, but figured I'd give them a loadout for 40k use as well. guess I'll look at some combi melta and power axes.

Danny Cyanide Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Heresy power fists are only 5 points! It's a good deal, so I'd leave fists over axes... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275003-terminator-loadout/#findComment-3365688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
