Editing Chaos Terminators

Chaos Terminators are the more EVILER and more SPIKIER counterparts of the trusty [[Terminators]] of the [[Imperium of Man]]. Sometimes known as Tuskies or Elephants due to their odd but pretty cool placement of tusks on their helmets (Whether they got them from hunting down space elephants or grew them naturally from the [[Warp]] is unknown). They are grizzled veterans who fight wearing the widespread Tactical Dreadnought Armour of the [[Chaos Space Marines]]. 

==Overview==

The weapons combinations available to Chaos Terminators combined with their fearsome armor make them terrifying opponents to fight against. While not the swiftest of troops as the are motherfucking Terminators, they can (Like their loyalist counterparts) use a [[Land Raider]] to travel across the battlefield to positions which their weaponry will make the best impact. Otherwise they can teleport through the use of arcane technology or sorcerous powers. Often they appear ready to strike, giving their foes little chance to react.

Chaos Terminators stand in high respect to the Chaos gods. Many of them are [[Chaos Champion|Aspiring Champions]] although often the only way to acquire terminator armor is to [[Sindri|kill the previous owner.]] They usually form the bodyguard of the highest ranking leader or Champion and are often seen enforcing the will of the Champion. Often they abuse their position, intimidating other members of the warband, while many simply see them as a vision to strive towards, one day assuming the mantle of Terminator themselves.

Sometimes, these Terminators may even by a [[Chaos Lord]] all by themselves. Seeing as how protective Terminator armor really is, it would be of no surprise that a good majority of Chaos Lords adorn themselves in Tactical Dreadnought armor since they are the second most protective thing next to immortality given towards [[Daemon Prince|Daemon Princes]].

The standard Chaos Terminator armament is a Combi-Bolter and a Power Weapon which can be upgraded to either a Power Fist or Chainfist. In addition, Terminators may also take a Reaper Autocannon or Heavy Flamer in place of their Combi-Bolter. The Combi-bolter itself can be configured to function as either a Combi-Meltagun, Combi-Plasma Gun or Combi-Flamer.

They can also be equipped with a pair of Lightning Claws for close combat.

==Types of Chaos Terminators==

Chaos Terminators comes in a variety of colors and flavors just like their loyalist counterparts. This is seen in the following:

===Chaos Indomitus Terminators===

The most common and widespread Chaos Terminators and the most obvious. Similar to their loyalist counterparts, they are the most adaptable of the Terminators and are by far the most twisted looking due to the majority of Chaos Terminators wearing this particular piece of armor. Chaos Indomitus are known for their notable tusks which has become an icon for Chaos Terminators. This is where the nicknames come from.


===Chaos Cataphractii Terminators===

{{clear}}
During the Horus Heresy the Traitor Legions fielded units clad in Cataphractii armour just like their loyal brothers. They offer the most protection and are thus, the toughest of the Terminator suits and is able to take immeasurable punishment before suffering mass systems failure. They where armed with Combi-Bolters, power fists and grenade harness, but also had access to Chainfists, Lightening claws, heavy flamer and power swords. Like their Tartaros cousins, they aren't as twisted as the Indomitus due to their rarity and lack of exposure from the Warp.

===Chaos Tartaros Terminators===

{{clear}}
During the Horus Heresy the Traitor Legions fielded units clad in Tartaros pattern Terminator Armour, just like their loyal brothers. The most advance and most mobile of Terminator suits, the Tartaros are surprisingly fast and can initiate a brief but surprising burst of speed to catch their enemies off guard. They where armed with combi-bolters and power fists, but have also access to Lightning claws, Chainfists, Reaper Autocannons, Plasma Blasters, heavy flamer, grenade harness and Volkite Chargers. Like their Cataphractii cousins, they aren't as twisted as the Indomitus due to their rarity and lack of exposure from the Warp.

===Scarab Occult Terminators===

AKA Rubric Terminators or the Sekhmet. Scarab Occult Terminators were once the finest psykers in the [[Thousand Sons]], bodyguards to [[Magnus the Red]] himself. Like their brothers, they where affected by the Rubric of Ahriman spell and turned into dust. Now they stride into battle at side of their sorcerous masters. Clad in ornate armor, they are armed with Khopesh blades and Inferno Combi-Bolters. The unit has also acces to Heavy Warpflamers, Soulreaper Cannons and Hellfyre Missile Racks. The Sorcerer leading his unit also wields a Force staff.

===Blightlord Terminators===

''See Main Page: [[Blightlord Terminator|Blightlord Terminators]]''

Blightlord Terminators serve as the disease-ridden elite of the [[Death Guard]]. They are bloated with disease and a myriad of parasitic organisms that spread a miasma of death and decay around them. They are so bloated with filth that their mobility has crawled to a snails pace; even regular [[Plague Marines]] can outwalk them. Despite this, they are orders of magnitude more tougher then even regular Chaos Terminators and their status of being below a [[Deathshroud]] in rank is not to be underestimated.
