Delve into the New Space Marine! Why Assault Terminators

Before anyone else. Don't wait...Pokwarhammer (Pok Warhammer) Serve Straight to Your Screen! Delve into the New Space Marine! Why are Assault Terminators and Crux Terminatus Boxes a Must-Have in Your Army?

Hello friends of the Warhammer 40,000 universe! I can tell you that the coming of this new Space Marine ripple is very exciting, especially for those who are passionate about the cool, strong, and icons of the Terminator armor. Today, I'm going to analyze everything about the newly released items as simple as holding a teaching hand. Ready and go!

Overview: Why is this coming important?

First of all, you have to understand the context. In the 10th edition of Warhammer 40k, Games Workshop has "Upscaled" for many units of Space Marine. The old models we've seen for a long time will be smaller. In this new era, they make the models more proportionate, buzzy, and formidable. At the launch of the 10th edition, we saw a regular Terminator in a new scale in the Leviathan box, which fans love.

So the release of Assault Terminators on this new scale is something everyone has been waiting for and guessing for. It's to complete the Terminator line-up in a new era.

Delve Into 1: The Stars of the Show - Assault Terminator Squad

This is the hero of this event! Assault Terminators are the most brutal melee units of the Space Marine. They will teleport down the middle of the enemy circle and use a hammer and a shield or a lightning claw to tear the enemy.

Design and Models

All-New Kit: Let me repeat, this isn't just an upgrade kit from a regular Terminator box, it's a completely redesigned kit that gives you a different pose and a more dynamic look.

The two main alternatives to assembly:

Thunder Hammers & Storm Shields: The classic look of the tooth-piercing unit. Most shields still have a square design similar to the original, but the Sergeant has a slightly larger and more luxurious shield. There are a variety of poses, either swinging the hammer, setting the shield forward, or walking bravely.

Dual Lightning Claws (Dual Lightning Claws): For people who like attack speed and infantry surge rips, the claw design is still similar to the original, it has 4 blades, but looks slightly more rounded and modern.

Details and customizations: In 1 box (usually sold in 5 increments), there are a lot of customizations:

6 types of hat-less heads and 5 types of hat-wearing heads (with half a hat, also cool)

5 Tilting Plates with 2 Special Designs for Herders

15 other accessories such as Purity Seals and symbols

Remarks: There is an opinion that the Storm Shield should be made a little bigger to match the new scale, like the shield of the Bladeguard Veterans, but overall it is considered that Games Workshop is doing very well. Just taking a great design and expanding the scale and sharpening is a win.

Tabletop Gameplay

In the game now (10th Edition), the Assault Terminators are extremely durable, with Toughness 5, Wounds 4, and Save 2 + values, where having Wounds 4 and Storm Shield makes them very resistant to weapons with Damage 3.

Thunder Hammers: This is a much more popular option than today because of its high strength and ability. Devastating Wounds makes it a good deal with units or vehicles even harder to hit (Weapon Skill 4 +).

Lightning Claws: 5 attacks per head (because they are twin-linked), fits a lot of infantry clearance.

Although the status of the Terminator as a whole is not yet "very good" for the typical Space Marine army because it has a relatively high price compared to its capabilities, the coming of this new box may be a sign that Games Workshop may be adjusting its rules to boost future sales.

Delve Into 2: The New Character - Terminator Ancient

"Ancient" in the 40k universe is the standard bearer of the army. His role is to inspire his fellow fighters on the battlefield.

Design and Models

The waiting model: The 10th-generation playable Terminator character has been reworked. Only this Ancient is still an old model. The key is that the plastic old model comes from the Blood Angels Assault Terminators box. The symbol of the chapters is too obvious. It's great to have a new, neutral model like this.

Details: The model comes with a large flag with two eagle symbols, armed as a Storm Bolter, and with a Power Sword tuck at the waist. There are 4 different heads to choose from. Both full hat, half and no hat.

Table Play

Ancient is a very pleasant supporting character when inserted into a Terminator unit:

Increase Objective Control (OC) Value: He gives + 1 OC to every model in the unit he leads. This is very important because the Terminator, despite the fact that it has a high OC value per unit. Having Ancient allows this unit to capture the target area much better.

Buff when the unit is damaged: If his unit has a lower number of models at the start of the game, it will get + 1 to Hit (Batting), and if it is below half, it will also get + 1 to Wound (Damage Easier). For a tough unit like the Terminator that has a low chance of being shot but not dead at all, this ability is very likely to be used.

Delve Into 3: The Big Box - Crux Terminatus Battle Force

This is a large box that combines all the new items for sale before the first place. The name "Crux Terminatus" comes from the symbol on the left shoulder of every Terminator, which is believed to contain a fraction of the Emperor's armor.

What's in the box?

This box is packed with the famous Terminator:

10x Assault Terminators (The newest, can be optionally assembled as a shield hammer or double claw)

5x Terminators (Regular Firing Squad with Heavy Weapons like Cyclone Missile Launchers and Heavy Flamers)

1x Terminator Ancient (New Character)

1x Terminator Captain (Leader Character)

1x Terminator Chaplain (Melee Attack Buff Line Character)

3x Teleport Homers (small piece of model used to place on the battlefield)

1x New Pattern Transfer Sheet for Ultramarines, Imperial Fists, Salamanders, White Scars and Raven Guard Chapters

In total, there are 18 military models and three characters (Teleport Homer is not counted as a combat unit, but as a base model).

Value Analysis

Advantages:

The theme is clear: it's a box specifically for Terminator lovers.

Complete New Stuff: Get Assault Terminators and Ancient Before Anyone

Discounts: Combination box purchases usually get about a 30% discount compared to split purchases, which is the standard of boxes like this.

Points in a lot of games: In total, there are about 775 points in the game (this may change), which is the core of the army.

Disadvantages:

A little too many characters: If anyone already has a Terminator Captain from the Leviathan box or has a Chaplain, a re-acquisition might not feel worth it.

Model Number: For a high-priced box, getting a real unit of 18 models might seem a little less for some.

Is this a Christmas box?

According to sources, this isn't a Christmas Battle Force box, meaning we might be able to see another Space Marine box at the end of the year.

Epilogue summary for new players

This Crux Terminatus Battle Force box is a great place to start. If you're the one:

Love and Fanatics in Terminator: This Box Gives Everything About Terminator in a New Scale

There are no Terminator characters yet: getting Captain, Chaplain, and Ancient in one box is considered complete.

It wanted to create a "First Company" -themed army: a regimental composed primarily of veterans and Terminators.

But if you already have a lot of Leviathan Terminators, or a repeat of the character, waiting to buy a split-box Assault Terminators might be a better choice, which is expected to be sold after this big box for about 1-4 months.

Hopefully this intense analysis will be helpful! Welcome to the Warhammer 40,000 world. The coming of new models like this is one of the pleasures of this hobby. There's always something to ask you!
