Gorgon is actually it's own unique pattern.

Thus far in all the updated lists, indomitus hasn't been an option, just tartaros and catphractii, this is as of book 6, so don't hold out hope of having an option for the standard termy armour.

Spoiler:

"terminator armour
(Great Crusade & Horus Heresy Era, Updated Rules) – CAL page 91
The rules text for this entry is replaced with the following update:
Terminator armour features a powerful support exoskeleton and internal energy supply, but pays for its unparalleled protection with bulk. A
model in Terminator armour has the Relentless and Bulky special rules, and is not able to make Sweeping Advance moves unless otherwise
specified. They also may not be transported in Rhino APCs. Terminator armour affords a 2+ armour save and a 5+ invulnerable save. Depending
on its particular pattern, Terminator armour may also confer additional rules and abilities to its wearer.
If a unit has the option of taking Terminator armour but does not specify a particular pattern, such as the Legion Terminator Squad entry, its
pattern is that represented on the physical models used, and only a single type of Terminator armour may be chosen for the unit when included in
your army.

Cataphractii Pattern Terminator Armour:
One of the first issued Tactical Dreadnought armour patterns, the Cataphractii suits were even more heavily
protected than their contemporaries, with slab-like ceramite pauldrons housing additional shield generators. This design has the unfortunate side effect of
overstraining the armour’s exoskeleton and slowing the wearer dangerously, however. This difference led to the pattern’s declining use with some Legions at the
outbreak of the Horus Heresy.

In addition to the effects and rules listed previously for Terminator armour, models in Cataphractii pattern armour cannot make Run moves or
Overwatch attacks. In addition, their invulnerable save is increased to 4+. Models which join a unit in Cataphractii armour may themselves not
make Run moves or Sweeping Advances while with the unit, but may make Overwatch attacks as normal for them. If a unit is joined by a model
in Cataphractii armour, the unit is prevented from making Run moves or Sweeping Advances while the model is with them.

Tartarus Pattern Terminator Armour:
This was an advanced pattern of Terminator armour developed late on during the Great Crusade in parallel
with the Maximus pattern power armour, and was considered a technological masterwork. Tartarus armour is more streamlined and power efficient than its
predecessors, making it more agile and providing short bursts of additional speed when needed, but was also more difficult and resource intensive to manufacture.
Regardless of this, it had become one of the most widely circulated patterns issued in the decades before the outbreak of the H
orus Heresy.

In addition to the effects and rules listed previously for Terminator armour, models in Tartarus pattern armour may make Sweeping Advances in
combat unlike other patterns of Terminator armour. If a model with Tartarus pattern armour is joined by a character equipped with a different
pattern of Terminator armour or vice versa, this ability is lost.

A note on unique and variant Terminator armour:
If a unit is described as being equipped with a particular additional variant of Terminator armour,
such as the Gorgon Terminators of the Iron Hands, or as wearing a personalised and unique suit, such as the armour worn by the Primarch Horus, the rules for
this armour will be provided in the unit’s description and should not be inferred from elsewhere."

By this FAQ's changes, wouldn't indomitus be a 3rd (the generic), while cataphractii and tartarus both being 2 other forms? I'd have to wait 'till I get home to dig in the rule book, but I don't recall any forced armour other than on named or special units. Not that it means much, but a similar sentiment seems to be common on /tg and 1d4chan.

@Formosa But wouldn't the FAQ be our most up-to-date legion army list rule source? Maybe an Email to Forge World to get the info from the source?

@ OP Well, if you're worried about speed you could always try your hand at a spartan or land raider? If you get Perty he (and his squad, if I recall correctly) can deepstrike.

Until it is Updated the CAL and the FAQ are the most up to date rules for anything not specifically Called out in book 5-6 and the legions army list.

As such you have 3 choices.
Indomitus pattern: No frills armor with standard termi saves. (No sweeping advances and so on)

Tartaros Pattern: Extra Special rules making it faster.

Cataphractii: Slow and steady and more durable.

Every entry thus far reads "Terminators" with the option to pick Cataphractii at a different cost. The Indomitus and Tartaros cost the same but must be modeled appropriately for their special rule to take effect.

That different cost of "Free"

Terminator armor entirely depends on how you model it. Except in the case of Terminators that specifically say which pattern they have, IE; Grave Wardens, Lernean, Gorgons, Red Butchers.
