{{GreyKnightsPortal}}[[Image:Grey Knights Terminator SquadGKTerm.jpg|thumb|right|300px|A Grey Knights Terminator Squad{{Fn|2}}]] '''Grey Knights Terminator Squads''' are made up of between two and nine [[Grey Knights Terminators]] and one [[Brother-Captain]] armoured in [[Tactical Dreadnought Armour]]. They are armed with either a [[Storm Bolter]] and [[Nemesis Force Weapon]] or with a [[Thunder Hammer]] and [[Storm Shield]]. They may also take one [[Incinerator]] or [[Psycannon]]. They are also sometimes seen using the psychic power [[Holocaust]].As there is no doctrinal restrictions on the types and numbers of weapons carried, it is rare for two Terminator Squads to bear exactly the same weapons configuration, the Grey Knights have always favored efficiency over organizational mandate.{{Fn|2}}
Grey Knight Terminator Squads are designed to get into the thick of the enemy and eliminate the strongest and most central figure of any daemonic horde. When that happens, the link between the [[warp]] and [[real space]] is likely to be destroyed and any [[daemon]]s will retreat to the warp, removing much of the strength of traitor armies. They tend to go in after [[Grey Knights Squads]] have secured a beachhead and finish the job while the other Grey Knights hold back the enemy.
Usually a rarity in most [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]]s, Tactical Dreadnought Armour is so plentiful in the Grey Knights that nearly the entire Chapter can don them. Yet formidable though the armor in, to combat the [[Daemon]]s of [[Chaos]] a different breed of warrior is required. Grey Knight Terminators rarely operate a standard line of battle, usually instead concentrating their attacks and carefully picking a prime target. As a result, Terminators often choose to teleport straight into the heart of battle, catching their enemies unaware in a storm of firepower and blades.{{Fn|2}}
