Veteran of the First Company
More formally known as Tactical Dreadnought armour, Terminator armour is a marvel of technology that enables its wearer to survive anything, from the stresses of teleportation to earth-shaking artillery bombardments. So equipped, Terminator Squads can appear in the midst of the foe or stride unstoppably across the field towards them, firing their weapons all the while. Terminator armour is precious for another reason. One shoulder pad on each suit bears the Crux Terminatus, a sacred cross-shaped icon sculpted in relief. It is said that within it is a fragment of the Emperor’s own armour.
