Terminator armour is also notable for incorporating a Teleport homer in each suit. Sensoriums can also be linked together, allowing every squad member to see exactly the same view of the battle as his comrades, though often only the Sergeant‘s suit will broadcast pict-signals. The sensorium allows the wearer to use a vast number of scanners and detectors without conscious thought. Terminator Armour also incorporates many more auxiliary systems than normal Marine power armour, including motion sensors and threat detectors. The armour’s sensorium, based upon tendril sensors, links directly into the wearer’s own awareness. Like normal power armor, Terminator armour is fully enclosed with life-support functions, and includes an array of sensors including radiation monitors, biological detectors and self-diagnostic scanners.

On the left shoulder of every Terminator suit is displayed the Crux Terminatus badge – those worn by Terminator captains are said to contain a piece of the Terminator Armour the Emperor wore when he fought Horus during the final battle of the Horus Heresy External adamantium ribs help support this weight, while the inclusion of suspensors help the suit carry heavier support weapons. This extra armouring provides a level of protection that is far superior to normal Marine armor not even a Krak missile will penetrate the suit’s breastplate. It also contributes to the immense weight of the suit, making the wearer less maneuverable and slower. Plates of heavy plasteel further armour the ceramite sections, especially on the front of the suit. Like power armour, Terminator suits have an outer shell of ceramite-bonded plates powered by electrically-motivated fibre bundles. The scarcity and expense to maintain Terminator suits means they are available only to the elite troops from the veteran companies of the Space Marine Chapters. Terminator Armour or Tactical Dreadnought Armour is the toughest and most powerful form of personal armour humanity has ever developed, used in Terminator units. Alright Loremasters, today we learn the sacred origins and patterns of Space Marine Tactical Dreadnought Armor – the Terminators.
