Proposed rules for Cult terminators, based on Cult troops in current codex.
formatted as option for Chaos Terminators unit.

Berserker terminators +9pt/model
Get Mark of Khorne, Furious charge, WS5, Fearless
Options: can exchange twin-linked bolter for chainaxes for free.
Any number of models may be upgraded to champion for +5points per model.
(cost calculation: MoK +3pts, Furious charge, WS5, Fearless costs 4pt per model for Berserkers, I make 4*1.5=6 because it’s better for terminators, 3+6=9pt/model).

Thousand sons terminators +15pt/model; +30 points per unit (champ becomes sorcerer)
Get Mark of Tzeench, 4+ Invulnerable save (becomes 3+ with MoT), Fearless, Inferno bolts for twin-linked bolters and Veterans of the long war. Champion becomes Aspiring Sorcerer with Force weapon instead of Power weapon.
Options: rank-and-file terminators cannot take any options except Icon of Flame. Aspiring Sorcerer can take .Gift of mutation and ranged weapons as champion (essentially exchange his twin-linked bolter for combi-weapon for +7 points)
Any number of models may be upgraded to Aspiring Sorcerer for +35points per model.
(cost calculation: MoT +5pts, veterans of the long war +3pts, 5+ Invulnerable save, Fearless, Inferno bolts costs 7pt per model for Thousand sons, I keep it 7 because it’s marines get +2 to invulnerable and terminators only +1; it robs terminators of crucial combi weapons options. 5+3+7=15 pt/model).

Plague marine terminators………+15pt/model
Get Mark of Nurgle, FNP, Fearless, Cloud of flies (blight grenade equivalent)
Options: can exchange power weapon and/or twin-linked bolter to Poison (4+) weapon for free.
Cannot take ripper autocannon, but can take 1 heavy flamer for every 3 models. (like plague marines cannot take long-range heavy weapons but take more special weapons than basic CSM)
Any number of models may be upgraded to champion for +5points per model.
(cost calculation: MoN +6pts, FNP, Fearless, blight grenades and poison weapons cost 9 pt for plague marine, I keep it 9 because terminators don’t get poison out of the package; 6+9=15 pt/model).

Noise marine terminators………+7pt/model
Get Mark of Slaanesh, Fearless
Options: exchange twin-linked bolter for Sonic Blaster for +3 pt/model.
Cannot take normal heavy weapons, can take Blastmaster instead,for 30 points.
Champion can take Doom Siren for +15pt in addition to normal options.
Any number of models may be upgraded to champion for +5points per model.
(cost calculation: MoS +4pts, Fearless cost 2 pt for Noise marine I make 2*1.5=3 because it’s better for terminators; 4+3=7 pt/model)

They look good to me. My only problem is that I think the blastmaster on the Noise marine terminators is too pricey in pts, I would consider 30 instead of 300.

Looks good. I'm all in favour of more options.

Thousand Sons look absurdly powerful though. I'd up their points by 5 to make it fairer. 3++ invulnerable and a 2+/3++ model with AP 3 weapons.

Other than that, I especially like Knorne. It'd be cool to see Chaos assualt terminators that aren't just TH/SS or twin LCs.

My bad, fixed it.
