Grey Knights Terminators are clad in sophisticated [[Aegis Armour|Aegis]]-protected [[Terminator Armour]]. While fundamentally similar to the Terminator suits of the other Chapters, but are further augmented by warding sigils and blessing unguents. They also boast the Crusader-Pattern helms from ancient [[Mk III Power Armour]], allowing the wearer with even more protection than a typical [[Indomitus Terminator|Indomitus-Pattern]] Terminator helm.{{Fn|2}}
Each Terminator is 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 restriction on the type and number 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 organisational mandate.{{Fn|1}}
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. Terminators 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.
