So which Terminator is better. Personally i think there all built to acomplish specific goals (Like survive for a long time or hit harder faster). Now i want to know what you guys think.

Bad poll, Falchions are utterly lame melee weapons to give GKs of any kind. The best overall winner is the good old TH/SS.

Take into account any BT player worth their salt runs their Assault Termis with a TH/SS and LC combo, and 9/10 times with a TDA Chaplain with various armory options. Out of an LRC with AAC. On a charge that is probably going to flatten the other guys on the list.

I use option 4 with Vulkan, and I've had...just glorious results with them.

Agreed, if you wanted to do a match up, the Grey Knights should be 2 hammers, 2 swords, and a warding Staff.

I still say the th/SS terminators will win in CC but for all around usefulness the Grey Knights win out because they keep their ranged weapons.

DA will win not because of the actual unit capabilities, but because they are the new bandwagon codex.

I have 2 DV boxes, and I voted TH/SS even though I think DWK are better in combat. Happy?

This is a bad poll, you can't compare BT Terminators with Lightning Claws and Furious Charge from 5th edition to units in sixth, main reason in 5th Lightning Claws ignored armour saves. Not to mention I5 and re-rolls to wound.

For all intents an prepossess the only reason i said 5 ed was because of the changes that happen the FC and Preferred enemy not because they ignore all armor saves and to the rest of you yes i admit i wasn't thinking it out when i said Falchions so from this post on yes it'll be a hammer instead.

SM with TH/ SS are so deadly and economical.
