Horus Heresy 3e Review: Centurion in Terminator Armour

Warpstone Flux Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5/5 stars. Opening up the force organisation chart, and a terminator. What's not to like!

Background.

Usually accompanying the vanguard of the army, these centurions are similarly commanders and battle officers as more regular power armour centurions are. So go ahead and storm to victory by making some carefully calculated risks and weathering the returning storm thanks to that armour. 

Strengths. 

As with the regular centurion, these men also come with Officer of the Line (2) which opens up your force organisation chart. If you don't have the power armour variant, you will certainly want the terminator armour variant for this fact alone. 

Their stat line is as good as the regular centurion, but given they are now in terminator armour they get 4 wounds, and T=5 which is beautiful really. Of course, they can take Cataphractii or Tartaros armour and the choice depends on how you feel

Don't forget your Prime Upgrades either. 

Weaknesses. 

Cataphractii comes with a slightly slower movement rate, along with Slow and Purposeful (meaning you cannot pursue) which might be something to consider in terms of the trade off. The points cost is the same though. 

Builds.

Terminators have slightly less customisation compared to regular power armour, but that's all good really. 

1 Centurion, Tartaros Armour, Prime: Master Sergeant (100 points). 

Even the most basic set up is vaible. 

1 Centurion, Cataphractii Armour, Twin Lightning Claws, Prime: Master Sergeant (105 points).
Sure, you need to get where you have to be, but that's what land raiders are for. A nasty close combat centurion

1 Centurion, Cataphractii Armour, Chain Fist, Combi-Melta, Prime: Paragon of Battle (120 points).
To face off against vehicles. 

1 Centurion, Cataphractii Armour, Thunder Hammer, Combi-Plasma, Prime: Paragon of Battle (120 points).
An almost all-comers variant?
