Legiones Astartes – Tyrant Siege Terminator Squad
- Tyrant Siege Terminator Squad 300 pts
Tyrant Siege Terminators are the vanguard of any Iron Warriors siege breaker formation. Clad in thick Cataphractii plate and spitting a relentless hail of high explosive missiles from their carapac-emounted rocket launchers, these implacable warriors are fortress-breakers of unparalleled skill. The bleak spectacle of these warriors wading through storms of lasfire and shell, stoically smashing apart any obstacle before them with chainfist and krak blast, became synonymous with Perturabo’s wrath unleashed. Recruited from amongst the most battle-hardened Iron Warriors, Tyrant Siege Terminators are expected to brave the most ferocious enemy fire without regard for their own survival – even more so than others of their grim brotherhood they understand the mathematics of war, and are ever ready to sacrifice in blood to secure victory. Most often found among the ranks of the Stor-Bezashk, the elite siege masters of the IVth Legion, and deployed to other Grand Battalions as needed to support siege and assault actions, Tyrant Siege Terminators were often at the forefront of the most cataclysmic battles of the Great Crusade.

Tyrant Rocket Launcher
A compact rocket system, based on the design of the cyclone missile launcher, the Tyrant launcher is capable of delivering overwhelming salvos of unguided rockets. The Iron Warriors value the sheer firepower of the Tyrant system over the more controlled destruction of the larger Cyclone system.

Omni-scope
A sophisticated cogitator-slaved optical scanner integrated into the modified Terminator armour of the squad’s Siege Master, the omni-scope allows for precise targeting solutions to be formulated in the blink of an eye. With weapons slaved to this device, the Tyrants of the Iron Warriors are deadly combatants on any battlefield.
A unit that includes at least one model with an omni-scope ignores all the effects of Night Fighting, and when a unit that includes one or more models with this special rule makes the Interceptor Advanced Reaction, the reaction does not cost the controlling player a point from their Reaction Allotment. This does not allow the unit to make more than one Reaction per Phase, but does allow the controlling player to exceed the normal three Reactions limit in a given Phase.Relentless warriors are strong of arm – nothing can slow their implacable advance.
Relentless models can shoot with Heavy or Ordnance weapons, counting as Stationary, even if they moved in the previous Movement phase. They are also allowed to Charge in the same turn they fire Heavy, Ordnance, or Rapid Fire weapons.Whether due to intense training, indomitable armour or blind madness, some warriors will keep advancing no matter the firepower directed at them.
A unit that contains only models with this special rule ignores modifiers to Leadership when making a Morale check or Pinning test – except those caused by the Fear (X) special rule or the Corrupted and Anathema Sub-types. If a unit has both the Fearless and Inexorable special rules, it uses the rules for Fearless instead of Inexorable.R | FP | RS | AP | D | Special Rules | Traits |

An auxiliary weapon system fitted to Terminator armour, the grenade harness unleashes a barrage of fragmentation bombs at the foe as the Terminator charges.
A unit that includes at least one model with a grenade harness makes attacks at its normal Initiative Step during an Assault after it has successfully Charged through Difficult Terrain or Dangerous Terrain, but still suffers any penalties to Charge rolls imposed by Difficult Terrain or Dangerous Terrain when resolving a Charge through Difficult Terrain or Dangerous Terrain.This datasheet has Heavy Support Battlefield Role. Full list of Legiones Astartes units sharing same Battlefield Role follows:
One of the first issued Tactical Dreadnought Armour patterns, the Cataphractii suits were even more heavily protected than their contemporaries, with slab-like ceramite pauldrons housing additional shield generators. This design has the unfortunate side effect of overstraining the armour’s exoskeleton and slowing the wearer dangerously, however. This difference led to the pattern’s declining use with some Legions at the outbreak of the Horus Heresy.
Legion Cataphractii Terminator armour confers a 2+ Armour Save and a 4+ Invulnerable Save. In addition, a unit that includes any models with Cataphractii Terminator armour may not make Sweeping Advances.| A Note on Unique and Variant Terminator Armour: If a unit is described as having a particular additional variant of Terminator armour, such as the Gorgon Terminators of the Iron Hands, or as wearing a personalised and unique suit, such as the armour worn by the Primarch Horus, the rules for this armour will be provided in the unit’s description and should not be inferred from elsewhere. | ||
