If it's got a 2+ save, it can wear Terminator Armour, that's my flimsy justification for the Space Marine Terminator Techmarine kitbash. Why I built a Thunderfire Cannon? I don't recall.
Apologies for the second Space Marine build video in a row, the pile of Leviathan plastic was starting to eat away at my soul, and I didn't fancy learning all the new names of the bugs! So, a Terminator Techmarine was the obvious choice for the next kitbash.

Ferrus manus was basically wearing terminator armour with a servo harness. I think one of the big problems with 40k is that the possibility space for what could exist in the setting is pretty much infinite, but the freedom for players to engage with it outside of limited cases, is very minimal.

@OffbeatBuilds 10 ай бұрын

Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I guess I'm a bit more old-school than most, as I started playing with a group during 2nd Edition that still treated it like Rogue Trader, so there were proxies and home-brew units all over the place.

@omoroburns2172 9 ай бұрын

Perturabo was also literally wearing terminator armor (at least that's what he designates it) and apothecaries can be termies so why not techmarines.

@Bluecho4 8 ай бұрын

GW has also had a habit of deliberately hard-coding limitations to what is possible. For no other reason than because "we don't, at this very moment, sell that thing". So they make it so "that thing" does not and _can never_ exist by the arbitrary rules of the setting.

@LordCrate-du8zm 4 ай бұрын

@@Bluecho4 That's exclusively 40k. 30k gives you the opportunity to give your units whatever the fuck you want (even if they don't provide all of it in the box) and basically says: "You want a Jump-Pack Praetor with a Thunder Hammer and an Archeotech pistol? Sure, here's the rules for it. Have fun!"

@gorkamorka999 4 ай бұрын

@@Bluecho4 That is GW after the Chapterhouse lawsuit. Basically they have to have a model for every rule they publish or somebody could contest their rights to that if they bring a model to market first. No more looted wagons for Orks or any of the other fun stuff you had to convert. There HAS to be a model GW sells for legal reasons now.

@Xune2000 10 ай бұрын

In second edition I added a terminator with heavy flamer to my death company. I tried to justify it by saying he had fallen to the black rage right as they were heading out so there was no way of getting him out of the terminator armour and into regular marine armour. Some people actually let me play against them with that model. It was fun charging around the board cooking units until he was inevitably ripped to shreds in a hail of gunfire.

@OffbeatBuilds 10 ай бұрын

Hiding those that have fallen to the black rage in backline roles is weirdly logical!

Terminator Techmarine: it is such an obvious upgrade when I see it. This is a fantastic bit of work. The Kataphron kit's little servo arms are great for cybernetics and servitors.

@OffbeatBuilds 10 ай бұрын

I'm honestly amazed that GW haven't done a full suite of Terminator characters. I suppose there's the Deathwing Apothecary, but that's about it beyond the Captain model. The upside is we don't have 42 different Terminator Lieutenant models! And yeah, the Kataphron kit is a godsend for Kitbashing.

@Basil_Ghothickovitch 10 ай бұрын

You know what I'll tell you? This is brilliant. I have already come to the conclusion that for collecting, building, conversions and miniature painting, such nonsense as “current tabletop rules” cannot be a limitation. Rules flicre, miniatures are eternal. Or what? In an infinite galaxy there cannot be my custom Chapter where everything is possible? I want to say: Warhammer has long outgrown Games Workshop, they cannot stop a true artist’s creativity, because they themselves opened these floodgates!

I for one as a lore nerd believe that All space marine specialists should be able to wear terminator armor if they have the Crux Terminatus. Yes, I do include the Scout Sergeant if they have the crux Terminatus. If they want to. If the chapter dares. If they can sneak around in full dreadnought armor, all the better for them. Same with chaos, BUT, everyone in chaos terminator armor should automatically be considered champions /veterans as well, because chaos is all about upward momentum, and if you can't keep your terminator armor in battle, you don't deserve it.

Don't know what that servo skull is on about. I can think of plenty of situations where you would NEED to throw a Techmarine at a situation with the best protection possible. Removing components from a Space Hulk infested with Genestealers. Repairing a reactor leaking radiation strong enough to get through even normal marine armor. Getting a fallen Titan up and running, while the approach is under a withering hail of gunfire. Hell, Terminator armor would be useful for no other reason than the built-in teleporter.
