Terminator Armour

4 bytes added, 6 March
Design
Like power armour, Terminator armour is fully enclosed with life-support functions, and includes an array of sensors including radiation monitors, biological detectors and self-diagnostic [[scanner]]s. Terminator Armour also incorporates many more auxiliary systems than normal Marine power armour, including motion sensors and threat detectors.{{Fn|3}} The armour's sensorium, based upon tendril sensors, links directly into the wearer's own awareness. The sensorium allows the wearer to use a vast number of scanners and detectors without conscious thought. Sensoriums can also be linked together, allowing every squad member to see exactly the same view of the battle as his comrades, though often only the [[Space Marine Sergeant#Terminator Sergeant|Sergeant]]'s suit will broadcast pict-signals.{{Fn|3}}
Terminator armour is also notable for incorporating a [[Teleport homer]] in each suit. This technology allows the squad to overcome their suits' lack of manoeuvrability by placing them directly in the enemy's midst, though the process is dangerous and sometimes inaccurate. In other cases, Terminator squads will can also be transported into battle by [[Drop Pod]]s or [[Land Raider]]s.
