Changes

Today Terminator suits are highly prized by their [[Chapter]]s and kept in a constant state of repair and renewal. Although the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] still maintains limited production of Terminator suits,{{Fn|3}} the rate is so slow that often a "new" suit is cobbled together from refurbished parts salvaged from the battlefield. This explains the sometimes disparate and ragged look of Terminator squads. Indeed, as time marches onward the knowledge of how to fabricate some of the more complex pieces becomes an increasingly faded memory in the decrepit minds of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and "reverse engineering" is an all-too-common science in the 41st millennium.{{Fn|5}}

The '''Thule Decimation''' of 728.[[M40]] is one of the most noteworthy examples of the use of Terminator armour. Six entire companies of [[Grey Knights]] were equipped with Terminator armour, including suits that had been requisitioned from five other Chapters. The assault was mounted with such haste that there was no time for repainting the suits. The Grey Knights were forced to attack in the colours of six different Chapters and, apparently faced by six Chapters of Marines, the defenders surrendered within three hours. One in ten on the planetoid city were subsequently executed for their part in the rebellion.
