5/5 stars. Arguably some of the best terminators around.
Background.
Discipline, self sacrifice, the Promethian Cult, a singular focus, and the elites of the legion combine to make arguably one of the best units in the game. I despise facing off against full thunder hammer and storm shield set ups. And it is because of this that I really respect them.Strengths.
2+/4++ is excellent. No two ways about it.
The shields come with Drakenscale which lowers the Damage characteristic from lots of special sources. And don't forget the shield trait itself which will make them even more survivable.
Shining here is Vanguard (4) which is very impressive.
And with the Legacies update, you also have the full range of upgrades available once again.
Weaknesses.
Do you even care about Slow and Purposeful?
Builds.
5 Firedrakes, all with Forge Crafted Thunder Hammers and Drakenshields (250 points).
The naked squad. Very effective. And cheaper than the previous edition.
5 Firedrakes, 3 Combi-Meltas, 1 Forge Crafted Heavy Flamer, 2 Chain Fists (310 points).
A different build for a different purpose and can be effective, but I think basic terminators would be better potentially?
5 Firedrakes, 4 Combi-Flamers, 1 Forge Crafted Heavy Flamer (320 points).
Should be slightly cheaper in my opinion, but still a neat option focussing on fire!
