It was suggested I post this here. This is a suggestion for GW to make Possessed Terminators. 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 of what they could do. Please suggest other better ideas.

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

I always assumed the obliterators and the unit formally knows as mutilators were the possed terminator equivalent.

As far as this unit is concerned at its current price it’s really just a pure upgrade on a normal terminator. For just 5 points you get 2” of movement, +1 toughness, +1 strength, and a +1 damage. In addition the unit gets access to every buff in the CSM book through keywords. Probably the biggest red flag though is the access to -1 to wound relic. T5,-1 to wound, 2+ save would make an insanely durable unit.

Narratively it is a cool unit though. Kibre the Widowmaker is one of the more well known we’d possessed terminators and I’d love to see options like the possessed dreadnought form Horus heresy. The devil is going to be in the details for not making the unit just better than possessed or terminators.

See, I see it as Possessed with -2” of move, -1 Attack, and +1 Save for +10 points.
Not so worth it.

You add deepstrike and core as well though which are pretty big changes. Also I thought possessed only had 5 attacks as well?

These are suggestions that people can add on to or change to get something good. I don’t think terminators possessed should get same move or attack as possessed because of the heavy armor. However, since they are possessed, they should have more speed and attack than terminators. Options can be giving warp tainted guns. The trick as stated above is to make it more costly than regular terminators and possessed but to get enough from it that it can be an option. Adding core is the key in my opinion and the buffs from DA and MoP warrant a higher cost

Correct-but these Terminators have A4.

Core is a good point. Deepstrike, not so important with natively high movement.

Oh was looking at the champ profile on that one. I still think deepstrike is worth a good bit for some of the flexibility. Overall I think the struggle though is finding a space between possessed and terminators without making one of the three options obsolete. The option to posses a squad of terminators might be better as a single unit upgrade maybe?
