TH/SS ternies are priced about right. Terminators as standard are overcosted, so getting 45 points worth of goodies for 10 pts and making them more resilient against Ap2 weapons is a bargain.

Not as good as other options in the book, but they are fair

They need to 40 points for the TH/SS. Otherwise I'd just be able to run 3 Assault Centurions, with Melta Guns and the Veteran upgrade, for 200. Why both with the Terminators at that point?

I think people like Hammernators more because they can at least stand up to AP2 and AP1 fire. They're still just as weak as regular Termies vs small arms, but they're much more durable against things like plasma, melta, and grav guns
