One just off the top of my head - Emperor's Bulwark 1CP:
Use this strategem when a unit of terminators is the target of a shooting attack. This unit of terminators gains +1 to their save and reduce all incoming damage by 1, to a minimum of 1 for the remainder of this phase.
Or - Priority Termination - 2
CP
Use this strategem at the end of the movement phase, after any reserves have been placed. Select a model within 12" of a unit of terminators. During the shooting phase the terminators may shoot at that unit twice. During the assault phase the terminators may reroll charges against that target. The terminators may not shoot or charge any other units unless the initial target has been destroyed.
Both these strats would be fun, but we need a solution that doesn't cost
CP too. If they're only worthwhile when you're spending
CP on them, then they're still not worthwhile.
Those are pretty great Strategems for someone who wants to use termies!
That said, if people complain about +1 to wound, look at Custodes; 4 wound terminators obviously work really well. So instead of making everyone else the same as them, bumping 1 wound isn't that big of a deal for all
TEQ's that aren't custodes... they still won't be
AS good, but they will be better. I really think Deathwing needs a lot of work, though.... custodes is exactly what that army should be.
