I'm seeking some clarification here as a lot of the info I find is very contradictory...

1) I've read that the Soul Drinkers (SD) have no Terminator Armour (as Captain Karraidin had the only one and he was killed), is this true?

2) I've read that the SD are Orbital Assault specialists, so am I correct in thinking that in game terms they would arrive via Drop Pod Assault and that the only vehicle support they would have would be Land Speeders and Dreads in Drop Pods?

I ask this as I want to build a SD army before they rebelled against the Imperium. I might build a post rebellion army, but without Sarpedon as I really do not like the image of a Marine Librarian/Chapter Master having Spider legs.

In relation to your first question, ye its true all the rest of the suits of terminator armour was destroyed as they sided with the dead Chapter Master during the 1st Chapter War.

As for your second question yes in game terms the army would be mounted in drop pods and Dreads in drop pods at least until a landing zone could be secured im not sure about land speeders but in fluff terms if you we’re doing a Soul Drinkers army they were boarding specialists, so it would be more likely they would use boarding torpedoes and Thunderhawk gunship’s.
