If the Adeptus Astartes are the pinnacle of the Emperor’s vision for martial superiority, then a Space Marine in a hulking suit of ancient Terminator Armour is the top 1% of that tiny elite. Bigger and badder than their power armoured battle brothers, these iconic heroes of the Imperium stride into the fray with an untouchable swagger.
Space Marine Terminators have been a mainstay of Warhammer 40,000 for almost 35 years, of course, but with the Imperium facing an extinction-level threat from Hive Fleet Leviathan, the High Lords of Terra realised that it would be up to the best of the best* to lead humanity’s desperate defence.
Terminators are drawn from a Chapter’s 1st Company, Space Marines who have proven themselves in battle time and time again. They can be veteran warriors who have fought for the Chapter for centuries or Primaris Marines who have joined more recently – either can wear a suit of Tactical Dreadnought armour if they’ve earned the right. Their armoury includes storm bolters, power fists, and the monstrously powerful assault cannon pictured here.
For now, let's enjoy some of the details on this latest iteration of a stone-cold classic suit of Tactical Dreadnought armour.
While Terminators are the official poster boys** of the new Warhammer 40,000, they are by no means the only Space Marines dispatched for some interstellar pest control, so stay tuned to Warhammer Community over the coming months for all the news and reveals as they arrive.
