Terminator Armor

Lore & Background

The source does not provide specific lore about Terminator Armor's life support systems, void compatibility, or psychological impact. It states that Space Marine Terminators are first company veterans who have earned the right to wear Terminator Armor, which makes them more powerful and resilient but slower than regular Marines. Terminators are normally used in close quarter battle environments. They were originally only used in Space Hulk-type scenarios, but later rules allowed their inclusion as a small/elite part of a Marine army on the open battlefield.

In Their Own Story

The source does not provide a narrative story about Terminator Armor. It only describes the game Space Hulk, where one player takes the role of Space Marine Terminators, superhuman elite soldiers who have been sent to investigate a space hulk. The Terminator player has a variable number of command points available each turn, and Terminator pieces excel at ranged combat but are weak in close combat. Terminator pieces move slowly and have few action points.
