Just remember that terminators are a huge target and you might be baited with them to take your focus off of bike scouts or tac squads in rhinos that quietly catch an objective. Basically, don't focus too much on them and if you have to sacrifice a unit to keep them tied up for a turn or two, do it! If you have all the vox gear for tests and or commissars you might be able to hold them off. They're death to guard armour no matter what they're equipped with. But being slow I find they can be bogged down quickly after being shot many, many times with moderately powerful weaponry.

If you feel good about your plasma weaponry, stormtroopers are great with them, but I would never go that route. Plasma just doesn't work for me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/582050.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/582050.page GMT Anyone know how to kill terminators? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/582055.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/582055.page GMT Anyone know how to kill terminators? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/582058.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/582058.page GMT Anyone know how to kill terminators?

Yep, theres nothing wrong with the tradional "AP2 Death Tank"

Although just plastering them with fire isn't a terrible option either, tends to be quite slow at killing them though. The option the pros use is sneak attack Deep Striking veteran squads with 3 plasmaguns and a plasmapistol are pretty good for this too, cheap as chips and if they get the shot off will make the termies cry... well, they would cry if their faces wheren't burnt off with white hot plasma that is!

Yeah, if its not a kill points mission simply distract them away from objectives. If they have a lot of lightning claws you can also use transports moving at speed for this too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/582269.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/582269.page GMT Re:Anyone know how to kill terminators?

They will also reliably get the charge with being able to fleet ; and then assault.

400 points of assault terms wtih Lighting Claws will die to 200 points of rough riders.

Thunder Hammers are a bit more difficult as they have a 3+ save; so be sure to shoot the crap out of them first.

Make sure that you at least screen your rough riders versus shooting.


Ugh Rough Riders are disgusting and no one plays them :(]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/582342.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/582342.page GMT Re:Anyone know how to kill terminators? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/582565.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/582565.page GMT Anyone know how to kill terminators?

Truth.

As a deathwing player, I hate fighting against IG. IG are an attrition army and terminators die to attrition. While the advice about HB/ML/etc is all fine and dandy, the humble lasgun is the terminators most feared weapon they face.

I lose more termies by rolling 1's to save against flashlights than I am comfortable admitting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/583275.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/583275.page GMT Anyone know how to kill terminators?

Min sized vet squad with max plasma little less that 100 points = 3 dead terminators provided they are no in cover and the vets get to double tap.

Storm Shield termies.... volume of fire....

With the weapons you have here, I don't know. I just don't know.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/589335.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/589335.page GMT Anyone know how to kill terminators?
Assuming 5 on 5 and no lightning claws:
The glaring flaw in Rough Riders is the one shot lance. I5 S5 power weapon or no, they should hit at best 5 times wound 4 and kill 3. The terminators should kill between 2 and 3 in return.

Good luck means you've tied up a terminator squad long enough to be able to shoot at it in your turn after a 5:1 return on points. But how many more saves would guardsmen have caused shooting? Equivalent points values skew this even further towards the guard.

There's always the option of tarpitting them with a commissar and 50 screaming LD10 conscripts at almost the same points value. You even get a wall of cover saves from those 50 bodies!

Anyway, the best thing is for your opponent to deepstrike termies at you early in the game. Have a demolisher somewhere and loads of lasguns elsewhere. They're likly to enter away from the demolisher (if they don't enjoy!) and end up in rapid fire range of your lasguns. That many shots dispatches them within 2 turns usualy. I tend to use heavy weapons fire on more suitable targets such as tanks. If the lasguns fail just charge them with a squad a turn, you can afford to loose a few points for points. If you do wipe them out in the first turn (not as difficult as it sounds) it also has the benefit of scarring the s@#[ out of your opponent and makes them think twice before sending those tactical squads towards your objective. I always back the demolisher up with at least two other tanks (a leman russ and usually hellhound). Once you have three or more tanks you give your opponents too many choices to shoot at and they either split fire doing minimal damage or concentrate meaning you loose a tank but still have a juicy cannon left to deal with power armour.

I like guard these days ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/590430.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/590430.page GMT Anyone know how to kill terminators?
S8 vs T4 causes instant death which denies normal armor saves....

No it does not. Instant Death affects multiwound models or those with feel no pain.

Zoot wrote:I have never really had any problems with terminators in any of my games, despite their 2+ armor their invulnerable save is pitiful. Never use bolters or lasguns on them as they'll just save the lot (unless you have a huge weight in numbers) on average one with die from every 6 armor saves they're forced to take (and if you cound 2/3s of your shots are going to hit, 1/2 of those 2/3s or 1/3 of those 2/3s are going to wound), so it's usually a waste of shots for me.


"Never use bolters or lasguns on them"

That is the worst advice I've ever heard regarding terminators. Especially nowadays that the majority have a 3+ invulnerable save.

If your opponent brings only one single landraider, it might be good to use every lascannon on it then the termies, but if your opponent is smart and brings multiple tanks/walkers then lascannons need to blow up things bolters cannot blow up.

Bolters and Lasguns are specifically great against assault termies. And non-assault termies aren't really a threat.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/590959.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231242/590959.page GMT
