HORUS HERESY CATAPHRACTII TERMINATORS BUILD OPTIONS - Weapons Included

[@nathanthom8176]

I got a set of 5 on eBay for £20 (including delivery) and just magnetised them. Took me while to figure out how to do it but I magnetised the shoulder pads so they can be placed on whatever arm I have magnetised on the body. I actually like that there isn't a need to buy additional shoulder pads like I did for my assault terminators.

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Nice one!

[@MurcielagoAI]

I bought a similar set of 5. I should do this as well.

[@jtrain9926]

Twin lightning claws are my fav updated weapon in 30K. Now they're +2 attacks for the pair, still Shred but gained Rending 6+. The Chainfist is also great, gaining Murderous Strike (does multiple wounds to Dreadnoughts and Automata), and ofc still cuts through vehicles like butter.

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

They look so cool too!

[@kahlelveadiltureth4216]

These are my favourite style of terminator’s! I can never decide myself which load out to go for, so I’m glad they come in packs on 10 now so I can make both!! Thank you for a great video as always :)

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Thanks for watching!

[@Rookblunder]

I built a 10 man squad (SoH) with combi-bolter and chainfists. Since I am new to 30K, Didn't know if it was good against a vehicle until I decided to do simulation runs with them against a Rhino then a Land Raider. They obliterated the vehicle in one round during the assault phase and even after I let the vehicles do their Overwatch. :) I'm glad I did this test because then I know I can build other units accordingly. Even if I only play solo anyways :)

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Nice! That's a good idea to try before you build

[@JazzToTheTwo]

I love these terminators but the shoulders are kinda weird to glue together. Feels like they dont fit super well. Idk. But yeah love these termies.

[@IDUZYOUTUBE]

Can you do a video on how to make 2 balanced lists using the box contents? I just got the box and wanted to play an equal points game with a friend as an intro to HH but I’m having trouble trying to split the box in a way that gives each player similar points.

[@paulwolf9277]

Yes im searching the net for suggestions, would ne very helpful to get some Input!

[@Flamethrower1942]

Leave the Spartan out 2 tac squads a leader each and 5 terminators that's pretty balanced if you include the Spartan use it as an objective to fight over trying to recover the tank , maybe it has some vital Intel inside it etc , personally I'd just build the entire box as one force use two tactical squads as that and then upgrade the other 2 units in support squads or heavy support squads with the weapons upgrade box sets.

[@jjmurph876]

Closest I've got is 35 point difference i think not exactly checked it yet

[@commandingofficer4693]

I tried having one army with spartan, five terminators, sword praetor and basic tac marines, which came out at about 920 points. For the other, I had two better equipped tac units, a maxed out dreadnought, and better equipped terminators, and axe praetor, coming out at 940. So I think you can use all the units.

[@alwoo1295]

Maybe you could do a presentation of how you manage all these leftover parts, how you store your completed models and how you transport. Thanks!

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Great idea! I've got them in bags mostly but the big armies I keep in small tool boxes. Will add this to the video list, thanks!

[@Digitalfiendscom]

Great video, thanks! I just assembled the Spartan and magnetized all the options...I noticed at 0:23 in this video you have a thumbnail for another video about Spartan build options. I don't see it on your channel though, just the Contemptor one. Is this a coming soon video? :)

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Thanks! Yes, the Spartan video will be up on the channel this evening.

[@emile1365]

I already have a box of these, fantastic models. I use them as alts for Space Hulk. Ordered more from TT.

[@Flamethrower1942]

Have you tried the 30k rules for space hulk , I haven't but I know there's fan rules for space marines combat.

[@emile1365]

@@Flamethrower1942 I haven't, I will have to check it out.

[@mav7547]

Hope the full list allows for the sergeant to have a power fist.

[@rorythomas9469]

It does. All terminators actually start with power weapons by default, then power fists are an upgrade.

[@OliverEdwards989]

Hey quick question for these terminators, do you have to take 2 lightning claws or can i take one and a combi bolter? Also what's your preferred loadout for them, would love to know before I build my one's!

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

I stopped playing Horus Heresy after the rules series and use the terminators in 40k now. I play them as Chaos Space Marines Terminators with combo-bolters and accursed weapon. Sorry that's not going to be helpful here.

[@OGXenos]

@@tabletopskirmishgames Hey, that's my exact plan for these! I'm making a World Eaters army very heavy on Heresy-era designs because I find them more appealing and thematic. The only problem with Cataphractii is that they don't come with a Reaper Autocannon. Did you kitbash your own or simply don't use Autocannons?

[@Ferox2121]

A bit late, but yes, you can take a combi bolter and a lightning claw. It is not a great combi though since you get 2 additional attacks if you take the claws in pairs. A single claw is usually avoided, cause then the fist or the chainfist is the better option.

[@Flamethrower1942]

Am still not sure what legion to paint my box set yet.

[@mr.potato2223]

there's a quiz?

[@1988jdc]

i am gonna magnatize the bodies so i can swap out the arms, i will either buy extra shoulder pads or 3d print spares

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Nice one!

[@mrdelaney4440]

10 lightning claws and a spartan, any space marine going against that has just gone in front of a threshing machine mate.

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

🤣

[@richardhowells5804]

So to run a Sargent with the same spec as the squad for harmony it costs double the reg guy points? Do the Sargents chainfist or powerclaws have better stats because he's more important??!! Presumably no, so extra charge for bullshit reason.

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

I haven't been playing it since I did the how to play series. I use all the models for a 40k army in the end. Hopefully someone can answer your question here.

[@FrankWKing0815]

Lee , Lee !!!! Wait , show us the Minis in Near !!!! I have a thing in my face !!! Lol

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

🤣

[@thehonestaspy102]

Great video, random question, do you think its important to play the same legion in 30k as 40k? I play Blood Angels in 40k but was hoping to try Rogals Sons for 30k

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Thanks! I think it' good to mix things up and try a different legion. I'm going Dark Angels for Horus Heresy and my main army for 40k is Astra Militarum. I'll also be using the 30k Dark Angels army as the core of a Chaos narrative army for 40k. I talk about that in my recent video "Fallen to Chaos".

[@mr.potato2223]

I might keep them as blood angels so you can use the HH models as part of your 40k army

[@tschriv]

Are these different from the box released previously?

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

I'm not sure about that. I think these are the first ones released in plastic, though. The most recent box set of just the Cataphractii Terminators should come with more build options too.

[@tschriv]

@@tabletopskirmishgames I know we got plastic Cataphractii back in the Betrayal at Calth boxed game, just wasn't sure if these are the same models, or something new.

[@balkenkreuz2063]

Are those the same as the stand alone kit? If so, do they come with all the weapons and options?

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

I'm not sure. Looking at the new Dreadnought, I'd say there could well be more options in the stand alone kit.

[@balkenkreuz2063]

😐 that's a bummer.

[@BarelyDecentProduction]

Really hope GW would sell those terminators and dreadnought separately in the future, got no money to buy the whole bundle

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

I think they will

[@99Plastics]

Literally just anounced the dreadnought with even more option than in the box.

[@emile1365]

The Terminators have been around for ages.

[@BarelyDecentProduction]

@@emile1365 GW ain't selling them no more

[@emile1365]

@@BarelyDecentProduction then in that case you could A, get them 3D printed B, get them via recaster or C, get them from a third party seller, unless GW has been dumb enought to do a full recall. The last option is they would be undergoing a reboxing, which I would suggest they would be available again soon.

[@connorwright26]

What is the best way lore wise to build these as the sons of horus?

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

I'm not all that clued up on the Sons of Horus lore, but I will ask a man in the know and get back to you!

[@connorwright26]

@@tabletopskirmishgames amazing! Thank you so much. I've just started HH with the box set. And I've been so flustered with all the choices 😆 and even how to play them..but horus and all his spikey troops are so cool!

[@paulofreire7520]

Great review 👍🏻

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Thank you!

[@radeadcool]

Could you use these as a Cataphractii Command Squad?

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

I'm not sure but will be taking a look at the army book next week so will check.

[@Stuteba]

Yes and no. Weapon wise, yes. But no banner so... Conversion will be needed.

[@hopefulmonster]

How easy would it be to magnetise them?

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

The arms would be easy to magnetise, but the shoulder pads would also have to be magnetised and that would be fiddly I think. A lot of work, but with some 1mm x 2mm it's doable.

[@hopefulmonster]

@@tabletopskirmishgames maybe get some of the 3d printed legion specific ones.

[@nathanthom8176]

Already did it yesterday and not to bad. I put a 2x1 magnet between the two levels of the should pads and then drilled holes on the arm joint and on top of the shoulder and it worked fine. Took a bit of extra work but at least I didn't have to buy extra shoulder pads like I did with my Assault Terminators.

[@raymondwright5996]

So, are two 5-man squads better or one chunky 10-man squad? I’m thinking of running three 5-man squads…

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

The datasheet that comes with the box set only gives the option for a 5 man unit. I haven't seen the army books yet, so they might give the 10 man options. I like the smaller 5 man units anyway.

[@raymondwright5996]

Thanks. The Liber Hereticus states: A Legion Terminator Cataphractii squad may include: -Up to 5 additional Legion Cataphractii +30 points per model

[@daemonprinceazriel9113]

Lol. What your telling me is my 30k Emperor's Children will be able to be used in 40k

[@eccone]

Cool!

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

🥳

[@tmontgomery7592]

I have to be honest, I'm rather surprised how much smaller these are to regular terminators.

[@OGXenos]

They aren't smaller at all. In fact, they're actually the third largest Terminators currently. Only the updated Primaris Terminators and the super bulky Deathguard Terminators are taller.

[@CMTechnica]

They’re not smaller than normal terminators

[@Nikusarusan]

i mean, you can just say what terminator squad they are in 40k, base size is the same and anyone who objects is a clown, really
