my roommate is space marines an was vaguely read in his friends wargear book about terminator "honours".....it's +1 attacks, is this for every space marine equiped with terminator armour??? or honours gaurds???

any help is appreciated...

sorry if this sounds stupid or has been discussed...i know nothing about them....

**Red_Lives**

Its outdated wargear. No such item exists in the current 5th edition codex.

**Mr.Tangent**

Thx man.....i'll let him know.

Like Red_Lives has already said, it's not particularly relevant any more, however it was effectively a piece of wargear that granted +1 attack, meant to represent important space marines who are entitled to terminator armour but weren't wearing it, but the bonus was built into terminator armour already and the honours couldn't be used to give somebody in terminator armour a further bonus attack.

Black Templars and Space Wolves might have some form of it.

**Gwar!**

Space Wolves don't, Black Templars might, not sure

**Drudge Dreadnought**

Black Templars do. It used to be a piece of wargear you had to purchase, now it comes automatically. This is why Sergeants in the latest codex have 2 attacks. The second one is from the built in terminator honors. It is also why all terminators have 2 attacks base.

It used to be that having terminator armor automatically gave +1 attack. It doesn't anymore. This is annoying, as it ends up penalizing ICs who put terminator armor on as they lose their extra attack for their pistol.
