Redbaron997 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I'm coming back in from 5th edition so I'm doing alit of catch up. Do Terminators no longer have the ability to move and shoot without taking a penalty? Thank you Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371714-terminator-heavy-weapons/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbringer Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 They have a -1 to shooting heavy weapons if they moved as far as i know :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371714-terminator-heavy-weapons/#findComment-5742452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Alas, Terminators have no blanket rule to ignore the penalty for moving and firing heavy weapons. Certain factions have rules to negate this penalty (e.g. Thousand Sons) but this is army-specific rather than being for Terminators in general. On the positive side, Terminators are cheaper than they have been for several editions and now have 3 Wounds so they are not a bad unit (although some Chapters can leverage their abilities better than others).

Well the Loyalist Terminators have 3 wounds, the Chaos counterpart have 2 currently :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371714-terminator-heavy-weapons/#findComment-5742461 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Unfortunately, the "stable firing platform" that terminators are claimed to be doesn't extend to heavy weapons - they do, however, always get to rapid fire out to max range, so they are stable with storm bolters at least. Even a unit of 5 puts out a fearsome amount of shots.
