Chaos Terminator Weapons

Postby Culven » Mon Aug 02, 2010 8:10 pm

I am building Terminators for one of my Chaos Space Marine armies, and I am looking for input on model roles/weapon combinations. The idea is that each model has a specific role, and I will select the models appropriate for the mission/enemy/unit role when I make my army list. At the moment, I have an Icon Bearer (Power Weapon, Icon of Chaos Glory, and Combi-Flamer), Anti-Tank Terminator (Combi-Meltagun and Chainfist), Anti-MC/Tank Terminator (Powerfist and Combi-Meltagun), an anti-Tough Terminator (Heavy Flamer and Lightning Claw), and a twin Lightning Claw Terminator for dealing with enemy Assault Troops.

Are they any other role/weapon combination concepts that any of you lot would suggest?

Disclaimer: No, I don't intend to field them all as a single unit. I just want to make that clear in case any of you lot decide to tell me that the unit is going to suck at everything like some guy on another forum decided to post since he apparently couldn't be bothered to read my entire post. Of course, if you are reading this bit, I suppose it wouldn't have been an issue for you anyway. ;)

well, the TLLCs will be good against other termies, so thats that covered

can't really see a gap tbh, and in fairness you cvan't plan for everything so taking a squad with a couple of those set ups will give you diversity!

perhaps taking a couple of combi plasmas coupled with a single LC - anti MEQ plus certain death to almost all Eldar!

i play DA, and unless i take two squads of termies, which i rarely do, then i mix/match assault and regular termy squads

I have never taken a CSM terminator squad without a reaper - maybe it's just because it's such a big gun, but I do find it effective :)

I like Atuocannons, but I leave them to my Havocs. I also have fluff reasons for not taking a Reaper.

Quite like LClaws and slaaneshi icon - it upsets other marines :twisted: usually try and get at least 1 pf in and a couple of combi-meltas for tank cracking on the deepstrike.
