Hi guys quick question for you. I just got hold of 2 squads of terminators for my deathwing army. My question is the terminators have a 2+ save. But with the shields do they get to roll twice to save them?

No. Storm shields provide an invulnerable save that can be used in place of your normal armor save - generally if you are denied your normal armor save due to AP 1 or 2 weaponry, power weapons of any sort, and what have you.

That is, unless Dark Angels have a special rule SPECIFICALLY stating otherwise.

Ah right that makes more sense

If you read the DA wargear section, you will see that terminator armor does indeed give you a 2+ armor save, however if you take a storm shield it gains a 3+ invulnerable save, so in saying that, if a weapon denies your 2+ armor save (power weapons, AP1/2 etc) then you will be able to take your 3+ invulnerable, which is why they are so awsome

Yup, this. ^_^
