→Background
Standard terminator deployments come in two forms, ranged and combat. They have specialised weapons for each task and are only deployed for specific battlefield roles. All suits have built in [[teleportation]] devices which allow them to deploy anywhere although more often they are deployed used [[Land Raider]]s. Squads consist of a [[terminator sergeant]] and between 5 and 10 terminators.<sup>1</sup>
Ranged terminators, known as '''Terminator Squads''', are equipped with a [[Power Fist]] and [[Storm Bolter]]. The storm bolter can be swapped for an [[Assault Cannon]] or , [[Heavy Flamer]] and , or a shoulder mounted [[Cyclone Missile Launcher]] can also be taken. Often the power fist is replaced with a [[chainfist]]. The terminator sergeant is armed with a [[Power Weapon]] and Storm Bolter.<sup>1</sup>
Combat terminators, known as '''Terminator Assault Squads''', (including the terminator sergeant) carry either a pair of [[Lightning Claw]]s or a [[Thunder Hammer]] and [[Storm Shield]].<sup>1</sup>
