Hello all. What do you think of another Chaos Elite choice. I believe it would be a big hit for Chaos Players and a money maker for GW. Here is my example.

Chaos Possessed Terminators 10 Power

38pt per model.
Possessed Terminator
# 4-9 M7” WS3+ BS3+ S5 T5 W3 A4 LD9 SV 2+

38pt per model
Possessed Terminator Champion
# 1. M7” WS3+ BS 3+ S5 T5 W3 A 5 LD10 SV 2+

If this unit contains 6 or more models, it has a power rating 20. Every model is equipped with: hideous mutations.

Weapons: Hideous Mutations 0pt
Range: melee Type: melee S user AP -2 D2.

Abilities
Let the Galaxy Burn
Daemonkin: Models in this unit have a 5+ Invulnerable Save.
Fearsome (Aura) while an enemy unit is within 6” of this unit, subtract 1 from the Leadership Characteristic if models in that unit.

Terminator Armor Terminators in this unit have a 5+ Invulnerable Save (Redundant with Daemonkin, but could help if something ignores Daemonkin Invulnerability)

Warp Strike During deployment, you can set up this unit in blasphemous reserves instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you do so, then in the reinforcements step of one of your movement phase you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9” away from any enemy models.

Faction Keywords: Heretic Astartes,< Legion>, Traitoris Astartes, Chaos.
Keywords: Daemonkin, Daemon, Possessed, Infantry,Terminator, Chaos Terminator Squad.


* This makes a Melee (possessed) Terminator Unit. Keeps Core so both Dark Apostle and Master of Possession can target. Loses Chaos Marks just like Possessed.

If GW wants to be more creative: they can create Warp weapons like the following example.

Wargear Options:
Each model can replace one Hideous Mutation with a Warp combi-bolter 5pt per model

Warp combi-bolter Range 24” Type Rapid Fire 2 S4 AP -2 D1

This sounds like an awesome idea. We know from the lore that Terminators can be possessed, like in the first Black Legion book where one possessed an entire squad. I also think that they should be able to take Chaos marks. The decision by GW to not let Possessed take marks utterly baffles me, as Daemon Princes are required to, and actual Undivided daemons are somewhat rare.

This belongs in Proposed Rules, not General Discussion.

As for the unit itself...

It's Possessed with -2" of movement and -1 Attack in exchange for a 2+ save. At +10 PPM.
I applaud the restraint on not making them excessively bonkers, but if this was a unit, I don't see myself taking it.

100 Points (the difference between 280 point 10-man Possessed unit and a 380 point Terminator Possessed unit) is a LOT, especially when you're losing movement and damage output.

It just doesn't feel unique enough. Maybe if they have some really cool bought mutations.

I mean, that should just be options IN GENERAL for Daemonic units. It shouldn't be restricted to Terminator Daemons.

Actually terminators have a 5” move so it’s a +2 move in Terminator armor. With a bonus in S and T and A. So technically you are getting a 2+ armor save. and +2 movement at a cost of 5 points.

I hear what your saying comparing to possessed but they are terminators yiu can’t give them M9 and if you think getting a 2+ save and faster terminators is not worth 5 points. I’d like suggestions. Because I think this wound be great for GW to do.

Please make suggestions. Who knows GW might take it under consideration

Mutations should be something like a random table that you roll on each game, but after rolling you can add or subtract 1 from the roll so you can basically pick from 3 random mutations. Or you roll randomly for free, but you can pay X points to add or subtract from the final roll, possibly something you can pay multiple times to get more than 1 plus or minus.
