Crux Terminatus Battleforce: Unboxing & Review

Crux Terminatus Battleforce 2If you’re the kind of hobbyist who refuses to be caught off guard when the next edition drops, magnetizing your new Terminators is basically mandatory.

The Crux Terminatus Battleforce is packed with big chunky armor, oversized hammers, and claws sharp enough to make a Daemon Prince nervous, and with a few well-placed magnets, you can futureproof the lot.

Terminators MagnetizationRob went with 3/16-inch-by-1/16-inch magnets for most of the work; small enough to hide, strong enough to keep your weapons from drooping mid-battle. 

Terminators Unboxing 2Start with a tiny pilot hole using a thumbtack, then drill carefully with a pin vise or a motorized Wow Stick. A little patience here means cleaner fits later.

Terminators Magnetization 2A dab of super glue and Insta-Set accelerator will lock your magnets in place. Spin a magnet stack to seat them flush, and double-check the polarity.

Once cured, you can swap between Thunder Hammers, Storm Shields, Lightning Claws, or Storm Bolters, even!  

Terminators New sizeNow, let’s talk size. These new Terminators aren’t just reposes; they’re beefier in every dimension. The legs are thicker, the torsos broader, and they stand nearly shoulder-to-chest with a Primaris Marine.

Terminators UnboxingGrab a few extra shoulder pads from upgrade sprues or 3D prints to keep each loadout ready to go, and maybe keep the heraldry pads separate for painting. When all’s said and done, you’ll have modular Terminators that can flex any weapon loadout, any meta, any era, and look great.

Is The Crux Terminatus Box Worth It?

Terminator Ancient

In terms of raw value, the new 40k Crux Terminatus Battleforce has it! With almost $100 in savings, you’re basically getting two of the characters inside for free, so if you need everything in the box, this is a great way to get a force on the board quickly.

However, there is an issue with the box. It’s the first place (aka paywall) to get the new Assault Terminators or Ancient, so let’s just hope GW doesn’t allocate it heavily. 

How Many Points Is This?

We would guess the Space Marine Crux Terminatus Battleforce points are somewhere around 800

What to Buy Next?

New Terminator Librarian

The new Battleforce gives you plenty of armored muscle, but it’s all Terminators all the time. Grab a squad of Intercessors to snag objectives and hold the field, then add a tank or two for some ranged punch to soften targets before your hammer bros arrive.

If you want to lean into the First Company vibe, a Librarian in Terminator Armour makes a perfect support piece. 

Final Thoughts From Us: Crux Terminatus Battleforce

Assault Terminators Thunder Hammers 2This Battleforce isn’t just another box; it’s a straight shot of Space Marine vibes, packed with Terminators, heroes, and plenty of hobby extras. Whether you’re starting fresh or adding to an existing collection, this set lays down a solid foundation and leaves room to build out the rest of your force.

Grab it while you can, because this is an amazing box for new players to start their army or veterans to grab a bunch of new minis.
