I'm kind-of hoping that it means there will be some AoS detachment love coming soon, and then some model reveals.

The best present so far today wasn't grotmas, but the new Terminator Assault Marine Update.
Thunder Hammer upgraded from WS 4+ to WS 3+
Twin Lightning Claws attack count increased from 5 to 6
Terminatus Assault datasheet rule (each enemy unit in Engagement Range must take a Battle-shock test) now triggers at the start of every Fight phase, as opposed to each time they end a charge move.

Nice. And can still mix freely in the squad.

Terminator's stats seem to inflate every time their models do. I remember back in 3rd edition when they had NO invulnerable save, 2 attacks, and one wound.

Terminators have always been worse then normal marines in the disconnect between their lore/fluff and what they do on the tabletop. Well, maybe when they were making saves on 2d6. But for most of their lives they were just not worth the points. Things with good AP would just shoot through their armor. Basic small arms would spam shots until they rolled those 1s.
I think they are finally in a good place. The multi-wound versions from 8th+ has gone a long way to making them viable.

Takes a lot to come back from 2nd ed's 3+ save on 2D6...
