Terminator Armour [Great Crusade Er a]
Also known as Tactical Dreadnought Armour after the edict which
called it into creation, Terminator armour is the finest protective
wargear in the arsenal of the Space Marine Legions, affording all bur
impervious protection on the battlefield. Designed principally for
heavy assault spearheads and for fighting in the murderous confines
of space hulks, Terminator armour is based in pan on the heavily
shielded industrial gear used by the Mechanicum's Solar Adepts to
work within the blazing sun-hot interiors of plasma macro-reactors.
Several different Terminator armour patterns were developed roughly
concurrently by different Forge Worlds during the later decades of
the Great Crusade, including the Indomitus, Tartaros and Saturnine
patterns, most of which were functionally identical
