What’s in the New Assault Terminator Kit?
Each five-man assualt Terminator squad comes packed with customization options. You get:
- Six unhelmeted heads
- Five helmets
- Five tilting plates with unique designs
- Fifteen accessories, including purity seals, Oaths of Moment, and badges
On top of that, the sergeant gets extra bling with two head options, a special storm shield, and fancier tilting plates. For hobbyists who love a kit with personality, there’s plenty here to make your squad feel like true veterans of countless crusades.
Thunder Hammer Terminators
Thunder hammers and storm shields aren’t subtle, but who cares when subtlety isn’t on the mission briefing? Terminators with this setup hit like freight trains, cracking open the heaviest armor and turning elite enemies into scrap. The added Wound from their shields makes them even harder to put down, giving you staying power in the thick of melee.
For anyone looking to plant their squad right into the enemy’s lines and keep them there, this loadout is all about raw staying power.
Lightning Claws: The Chaff Clearers
Sometimes you need less “smash a tank” and more “shred the mob.” Lightning claws are perfect for turning enemy swarms into piles of plastic on your tabletop. Think of it like strapping four power swords to each hand, which is exactly the kind of overkill Space Marines excel at.
If you play against Orks, Tyranids, or any army that loves filling the board with bodies, lightning claws are your ticket to thinning the herd fast. It’s efficient, it’s stylish, and it leaves the battlefield looking like a confetti party of biomass.
The New Ancient in Terminator Armour
Every great force needs someone to carry the flag, and the new Ancient in Terminator Armour does it in style. Wrapped head to toe in the heaviest plate the Imperium can forge, this guy isn’t just waving a banner; he’s planting it right in the middle of the fight.
With his relic-standard held high, he keeps your army inspired and your opponent worried. Perfect for anchoring your First Company and reminding everyone whose side the Emperor’s on.
Crux Terminatus Battleforce
This new bundle box isn’t holding back. The Crux Terminatus Battleforce comes with:
- 10 New Assault Terminators
- 1 New Ancient in Terminator Armor
- 5 Terminators
- 1 Chaplain in Terminator Armour
- 1 Captain in Terminator Armour
- Transfer Sheet (Ultramarines, Salamanders, Imperial Fists, White Scars, and Raven Guard)
That’s basically a small First Company ready to drop straight into your army. It’s a powerhouse box for anyone starting a Space Marine force or bolstering an existing one. And yes, the name isn’t just for show; the Crux Terminatus symbol on every Terminator’s shoulder is said to carry a fragment of the Emperor’s armor.
Final Thoughts: New Terminator Assault Squad
We think the new 40k Assault terminators kit is the perfect mix of durability, damage output, and customization. From a gameplay perspective, it gives you flexible melee threats and iconic leaders. From a hobby angle, you get piles of accessories, head swaps, and decals that will let your models stand out.
If you’ve been looking for a way to add character, lore, and raw tabletop punch to your collection, this new Crux Terminatus Battleforce does the job in one go.
