Malleus Terminator Armor

Malleus TeRMinaToR aRMouR Tactical Dreadnought armour is more commonly called Terminator Armour. Inquisitors who don this armour become hulking defenders of the Imperium. There is no fi ner personal protection anywhere in the Imperium and the Inquisitor who maintains a suit of Terminator Armour for his personal use is not someone to be trifl ed with on the battlefi eld. Each suit of Terminator Armour is crafted by one of the most skilled Tech-Priests for a specifi c user. While the suit can later be adapted for another user, the process is extremely involved and can take years. Crafting a new suit of Malleus Terminator Armour can take decades. Each is given a distinct name and some even notice small quirks—a personality of sorts. Terminator Armour incorporates all the systems of standard power armour with several upgrades. Superior actuator and stabilization systems allow for Heavy and Mounted weapons to be fi red one-handed. This also provides the Auto-Stabilised Trait and grants +30 to Strength instead of +20. The autosenses are part of a sensorium, which provides the same capabilities as an auspex. Terminator Armour’s heavy layers of protective alloys can defl ect even the heaviest bombardments. In addition, the built in refractor fi eld on the Terminator’s shoulder plate serves as a ward capable of turning aside attacks from power weapons, melta fi re, and even the baleful energies of the Warp. This protection provides a slightly better chance to emerge unscathed as a Refraction Field (see page 72) with a Protection Rating of 35. This fi eld does not overload under normal circumstances. The massive frame of Terminator Armour is not without limitations. A Terminator cannot tun, and the wearer suffers –20 to Agility and cannot dodge (but may still parry). Furthermore, in order for the Terminator’s frame to properly support, aim, and interface with weapons, they must be affi xed by special couplings. Arming Tactical Dreadnought units is a laborious and sacred ritual that may only be performed by high-ranking Tech-Priests with the proper ceremonial accoutrements and facilities. The weapon confi guration may not be changed under other circumstances. Any Daemon striking a character in Malleus Terminator armour with its natural weapons takes 1d5 points of damage ignoring Armour and Toughness. Terminator-Compatible Weapons Termiantor Armour has a sturdy wrist mount that adds the Auto-Stabilised trait to any ranged weapon attached to it. The Following weapons can be used with Malleus Terminator Armour; Any Combi-weapons, Power Weapons, Power Fists, Nemesis Force Weapons, Thunder Hammers, Storm Bolters, Incinerators and Psycannons.
