Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 Blood Angels Terminator Assault Squad

Product Information

If, for some reason, you want to be an outrageous baller and score a glamour kill which will be talked about for months after the game, you can throw the Spear, making it S 7 AP 1 One Use Instant Death, Armourbane, Wrath of Angels at 12”. Score a kill with this on an enemy HQ and you have bragging rights for life. When combined with a heavy weapons system such as a Reaper Autocannon, or the Cyclone Missile Launcher first uitilised by the Tyrant Siege Terminators, these sensors made the Fulmentarus a fearsome heavy assault unit and one that, were it not for the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, might one day have entered service across the Legiones Astartes. The standard suit of Mark II Crusader Power Armour provided excellent protection against small arms fire but not against heavier weapons, while the massive cybernetic Astartes combat walkers known as Dreadnoughts were unable to operate in certain environments, such as dense urban landscapes and heavily forested terrain, due to their sheer size and bulk.

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. Chapters can also deploy Terminator Squads via Land Raiders (5 Terminators or one squad), Land Raider Crusaders (8 Terminators), Drop Pods (each carrying 1 Terminator), and Thunderhawk gunships (up to 15 Terminators or 3 squads). Host of Angels – Excluding Dedicated Transports, Blood Angels detachments cannot have more Vehicles than units with Legiones Astartes (Blood Angels).Note: The following information is only accurate to 999.M41 and does not reflect the recomposition of the 1st Company following the Devastation of Baal and the introduction of the Primaris Space Marines. One thing I will say is that, in the other Legion Overviews I have written, my focus for these sample armies has been to have a low financial cost attached to building the army; e.g. make it so that you can use the plastic kits where possible, mixing and matching with third party upgrade kits, particularly Anvil Industries.

Some weapons have ‘Blast’ listed in their profile’s abilities. These are referred to as Blast weapons. In addition to the normal rules, the following rules apply to Blast weapons: It requires rigorous standard years of extra training to fight in Terminator Armour. Each warrior so armoured is expected to act as an example to the rest of his brethren by fighting in the most difficult of missions and performing beyond even the lofty standards of the Adeptus Astartes. The rest is, sadly, well known. Sanguinius and his Angels would join the battle at the Siege of Terra, and the Angel himself would die at the hands of his most beloved brother on the Vengeful Spirit .

With the Battle of Canopus, we conclude the first wave of the Exemplary Battles series, having covered every one of the Legions – and a massive sweep of alternative future history! In a few months we’ll be starting a second wave of articles, so fans of this format can rest assured more content is on the way. Sergeant Bavetius - A squad leader of the Veteran 1 st Company, Bavetius and his men were personally chosen by Captain Karlaen. This squad combines a talent for war with the vengeful fury instilled by the Blood Angels' gene-seed. Tempered by the leadership of their captain, they form a formidable fighting unit. Like their captain, each member of the squad is clad in ornate Terminator Armour and armed with close combat weaponry, such as Lightning Claws and Thunder Hammers. Adorned with the iconography of the Chapter, the many honours and campaign badges worn by the Battle-Brothers of Squad Bavetius are a testament to its many great deeds in the service of the Emperor. The squad also has the honour of carrying the company standard of the Archangels, which stands out as a bold statement on the battlefield.
