Terminator Armour or Tactical Dreadnought Armour is among the heaviest of all armour in the galaxy. It is a full body suit worn exclusivly by the Space Marine Terminators. It affords the best protection, and also gains the most respect, for anyone wearing this armour must be a hero among men.

The armour itself is massive and bulky, and as such has a full skelital structure of fibre bundles and adamantium rods. It is made of heavy gauge plasteel and ceremite plates which form the external surface.

Due to its massive size and strength, the heaviest weapons may be used without impeding performance. Missile Launchers and Autocannons are wielded like a man would hold a lasgun or bolter.

Only a few of the oldest magi on Mars know how to produce suits of terminator armour, and as such those in use are kept meticulously for centuries. Only the most elite of Space Marines may wear this armour, especially due to its age.

Standard terminator armour comes with an integrated storm bolter and power fist, both of which require a lot of strength to use effectivly.

However, due to their weight, they are slow to move and fight, and so specialise at ranged combat. With their power fist, they can easily defend themselves in combat, although they will strike last.
