NOVA Open Previews – Space Marine Terminators Fire Up the Teleport Homer and Prepare for Rapid Ingress

Space Marine Terminators are the heavily-armoured heroes* of the 41st Millennium, indestructible interstellar knights fighting the good* fight against the alien, the witch, and the heretic. And with the recent release of Warhammer 40,000: Leviathan, they’ve been dragged punching and bolter-ing into the Era Indomitus with imposing new sculpts.

Seven hulking new Terminators have already zapped into the fray in the launch box – a squad of five monopose veterans, accompanied by a Librarian and Captain – but we want more…

Terminator Squad

…and more we shall get! These five multi-pose, multi-part Terminators are in scale with the push-fit squad found in Leviathan, but come with a whole bunch of extra options. The classic Terminator arsenal is all present and correct – storm bolters, plus a power fist or chainfist for every model, a heavy flamer or assault cannon, and a shoulder-mounted cyclone missile launcher, on top of a great big bundle of aesthetic options.

Note that this set does not contain options for Assault Terminators – the current kit will remain available for the time being.

Chaplain in Terminator Armour

Complete the “classic three” of Terminator-armoured characters with this imposing fellow! Armed with his crackling crozius, inspiring litanies, and a storm bolter or relic shield, he adds 1 to your squad’s Wound rolls in melee, on top of granting them Feel No Pain 4+ against mortal wounds.

In short, this guy is a powerhouse when attached to a squad of Terminators.

Captain in Terminator Armour

The Terminator-armoured Captain from Leviathan is an epic hero, striking a suitably fearsome pose atop the severed head of a defeated hive monstrosity – but he wields only one of the wargear loadouts available to a Space Marine officer of his station. 

This new Captain in Terminator Armour is a multi-option kit who can be equipped with a combi-weapon or storm bolter and a relic sword or relic fist, to really make him your own. There’s also head options, and he has the choice of whether to wear a tabard to battle or not.

All three sets will be available to pre-order soon. In the meantime, why not see what else has been revealed at the Nova Open?
