Ok, here's the story. It's short but I want people's tactics-based opinion. I don't care as much about the modelling aspect in this particular case.

I am working on a SM:Terminator CC squad, with associated LR. Sometimes, given the points, I'd like to attach a Chaplain.

I have enough bits to make a power-armored Chaplain.

I do not have enough bits to make a Terminator-armored Chaplain.

I would rather spend money on other items than buying an extra model, if possible.

So, here's the question: Build the PA Chaplain and use him, or fork over the not-that-much dough for the Term. Chaplain? Will it really make that big a difference when it comes time for combat?

Will you ever field the Power Armour Chaplain and think "Damn, I wish he had Terminator Armour?"

BYE

Maybe.

But, if I model him with a combi-weapon, I could take him as Cassius for 5 less points then Terminator armor. And for that 5 less, I get a combi-flamer, bolter wounds on 2+, +1 increase to T, and FNP.

Take him as Cassius or a power armored Chaplain so you can pursue when you win a combat.

The Terminator Chaplain looks awsome though.
