About this deal

The Contemptor Dreadnought is a faithful translation of the resin kit that comes on two medium-sized sprues. Unlike the Venerable Contemptor Dreadnought from Betrayal at Calth, the model is fully posable with ball joints for the arms, hips, and legs, as well as movable elbow and knee joints, and two differently posed feet pieces for each leg. As their armour enables them to withstand heavy firepower, Terminators often operate in the front lines, closer to the enemy than most Space Marines in power armour, and so much of their weaponry is specialised for medium to close range engagements. Staying in the woods, these brothers have fighting styles that perfectly complement each other. Rúmil has mastered the art of defensive combat while Orophin is a whirl of blades, cutting down any who would challenge him.

The Death Guard have an illustrious history of quality leadership,* and although fancy ornamentation isn’t their groove – unless you count spiked helmets – their Praetors stand out through sheer presence and authority. Today we’re graced with not one, but two resin sons of Mortarion from Forge World. Heavy Flamer or Reaper Autocannon (As replacement for Combi-bolter for 1 Tartaros Terminator for every 5 in squad) The warriors of the Fulmentarus are equipped with Cataphractii Pattern Terminator Armour, enhanced to carry an array of targeting systems that made it possible for each to combine their fire in a highly coordinated fashion.

This specialty formation is also found amongst those Space Marine Chapters who are Successors of the original I st Legion, which are collectively known as the Unforgiven. The Deathwing's mission takes precedence over all others, even though they may be called upon to fight a wide range of foes. The Wolf Guard are the most elite Veterans of the Space Wolves Chapter, comparable in rank to a Codex Astartes-compliant Chapter's Sternguard Veterans. They are the bravest warriors of each of the Chapter's Great Companies, hand-selected by their Great Company's Wolf Lord to serve as his chosen protectors and the vanguard of his forces. In such cramped environs, where a foe cannot mass his firepower or line up his heaviest weapons, there are few foes that can withstand the brutal onslaught of a unit of Assault Terminators. Veteran Marines ( Sternguard Veteran • Vanguard Veteran • Veteran Intercessor • Veteran Assault Intercessor • Bladeguard Veteran) • Terminator Squad • Terminator Assault Squad

Following the sundering of the Space Marine Legions into smaller autonomous units known as Chapters, and the subsequent Second Founding, the Firedrakes also managed to survive, for Vulkan made certain that their legacy was maintained. Terminator armor was originally meant to replace normal power armor, however the destruction wrought by the Horus Heresy destroyed many of these suits, and the limited resources left after the war ended combined with the complexity of building and maintaining Terminator suits contributed to their increase rarity.

Nothing is now known of this time, but it is speculated that suits of powered armour were worn by the techno-barbarians that fought alongside the Emperor as He battled to bring Terra under His rule in the 30th Millennium. Over time, these suits were refined and improved, becoming the earliest incarnations of fully enclosed power armour. Most often these veteran warriors were found among the ranks of the Stor-Bezashk, the elite siege masters of the IV th Legion, and deployed to other Grand Battalions as needed to support siege and assault actions. Tyrant Siege Terminators were often at the forefront of the most cataclysmic battles of the Great Crusade. Terminators are truly amongst the greatest heroes of Mankind, bold warriors in whom the indefatigable heroism of a Space Marine is combined with the terrible weaponry and indomitable mass of Tactical Dreadnought Armour. No foe is safe from a Terminator assault, not a horde of Orks, adamantium-clad fortress or colossal Chaos Titan. The Horus Heresy Book Two: Massacre (Forge World Series) by Alan Bligh, pp. 49, 53, 57, 61, 75, 77, 102, 123, 144, 228, 232, 249

The Keshig were an elite cadre of warriors made up of the most veteran and skilled Legionaries to be found in the V th Legion who all served as the Legion's elite Terminators. Allegiance to Chaos ultimately always bred division and fractious internecine conflict no matter how powerful its worshipers proved to be. These stoic warriors' presence was quite intimidating as when not in motion they would stand uniformly at attention, still as statues. But in battle they were equally frightening, for whatever the odds, they always moved inexorably towards their target, as unerring as the automated killing machines employed by the Legio Cybernetica. Most were assigned to distant Great Crusade fleets and those who remained at Corax's side became the avatars of his carefully controlled anger, loosed only when an enemy proved itself worthy of utter destruction. Chaos Lord • Exalted Champion • Sorcerer Lord • Daemon Prince • Dark Commune ( Cult Demagogue • Mindwitch • Iconrach • Blessed Blades)
