The Devastator Terminators were another experiment in power armor augmentation. By fitting twin-linked weapons to housings similar to those of the Cyclone missile launcher system, an awesome new Tactical Dreadnought armor had been created. Terminator Devastator squads count as one Heavy Support choice on the force organization chart.

Options:Up to four Space Marine Terminators may have one of the following: Cyclone missile launcher +20 points, twin-linked heavy bolter +20 points; twin-linked lascannon +45 points; twin-linked multi-melta +45 points; twin-linked auto cannon +30 points; twin-linked plasma cannon +45 points. These heavy weapons replace the model’s power fist.

The Terminator Sergeant may have additional equipment from the Space Marine Armory.

SPECIAL CHARACTERS

MORDRED, SIEGE-CLASS DREADNOUGHT
	Points	WS	BS	S	Front	Side	Rear	I	A
Mordred	165	4	4	6(10)	13	12	11	2	1

Brother Mordred has been reclassified as a Siege class dreadnought. He must be used as described and cannot have any additional equipment.

Wargear: Walker; twin-linked lascannon, pounder, smoke launcher, head shield

SPECIAL RULES

Pounder: The pounder has replaced the dreadnought’s close combat weapon. It consists of solid, hemispherical weights powered by pumping pistons, allowing Brother Mordred to punch his way through walls and gates. In close combat, it allows Brother Mordred to attack at Strength 10, ignoring armor. Against buildings, it is only a matter of time before the pounder breaches the strongest walls. In the first Assault phase that the siege dreadnought is in base contact with the wall, roll a die. The wall collapses on a roll of 4+. In the next turn, the roll drops to 3+, then to 2+ for turn 3 and later.

Head Shield: When attacking a large wall or fortification, Brother Mordred is just as vulnerable as anything else to attacks from above. To combat this, a large, moveable adamantium shield, much like a dozer blade, has been fitted over his top. Against any attack from defenders above, Brother Mordred gets a 4+ invulnerable save. This save only applies to weapons fired from above. No adjustment is made for attacks from the front, sides, or rear.

Cumbersome: Brother Mordred is much slower than his lighter counterparts due to his heavier armor. He always counts as if he was moving through Difficult Terrain, in the same way as Orks in Mega Armor.

Heavy Armor: Not only does Brother Mordred’s armor provide him with superior protection against penetrating hits, it is also structured to take massive amounts of damage and keep going. Brother Mordred ignores all Crew Stunned results.
