[[File:Terminators 10th.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ultramarines Terminator Squad ([[10th Edition]])]]
'''Terminator Squads''' fight with the standard armament of a [[storm bolter]] for ranged combat and a [[power fist]] or [[chainfist]] for close combat. The storm bolter can be swapped for an [[assault cannon]] or [[heavy flamer]], or supplemented with a shoulder-mounted [[cyclone missile launcher]].{{Fn|5a}}
===Terminator Assault Squad===

'''Terminator Assault Squads''' are oriented toward close combat. To maximise their effectiveness, they swap their standard armament for a pair of [[Lightning Claws]], or a [[thunder hammer]] and [[storm shield]].{{Fn|5f}} They often battle in close quarters, such as spaceship boarding actions or in the lower levels of a [[hive]].{{Fn|3}}
===Terminator Command Squad===

Essentially a [[Space Marine Command Squad]] equipped with Terminator Armour, a '''Terminator Command Squad''' squad consists of one terminator sergeant and three to nine terminators. The terminator sergeant is armed with a power weapon and storm bolter and the rest are armed with power fists and storm bolters. Some swap their storm bolters for [[assault cannon]]s or [[heavy flamer]]s or keep them and add [[cyclone missile launcher]]s, and some swap their power fists for chainfists, especially when boarding actions are carried out. A Terminator Command Squad may include a [[Company Ancient]] and/or [[Company Champion]], similarly clad in Terminator Armour. Naturally, their [[Space Marine Captain|captain]] may accompany them, similarly clad.{{Fn|2}}
