The HEAVIEST Space Marines: Terminators, Gravis, and Centurions | Warhammer 40k Lore

[@KrakDuk]

WHOOAAH this is a very special episode since Terminators, Aggressors, and Centurions are some of my favorite 40k units. I really like chunky marines with like a million guns. So I hope everyone enjoys this video as much as I enjoy these chunky marines.

Terminators: When normal Space Marine can't hit hard enough. Except of Tyberos, he is for Terminators this what Terminators are for other Space Marines.

[@funnyrandomname1]

There is no tyberos only a actively moving mountain of a statue

[@Jawzah]

Expect for Tyberos terminators are very compact! I remember talking with some guy at Ropecon and ended asking where his force is on the table.. Right in the middle - all terminators -- but they might as well been purple orks as I did not even see them before he pointed them out.

[@generaljedi8691]

This entire video is justification for why I think Tyberous is the coolest space marine. He is THE BIGGEST. Biggest = Coolest

Three space Marines, one in Gravis armor, one in Terminator armor, and one in Centurion come upon a door in the travels. They go through the door in order of smallest to biggest. The Gravis walks right through the door without any issue, waiting on the other side. The Terminator squeezes through the door with some issue, waiting on the other side. The Centurion looks the door way up and down before yelling, "FELL THE DOOR!!!", and pulverizing the entire wall.

[@KrakDuk]

They don’t give em siege drills for nothing!

[@sparkythespark2322]

"The Centurion walks through the door without any issue. There is no longer a door. There is a space marine sized hole in the wall"

Watchers in the dark are the coolest guys in 40k. They scared a changeling. They smol. They protect. They equip. They have the power to put a primearch alseep and keep him alseep for thousands of years. They have an entire legion willing to protect their identity. They hate chaos.

[@ZethranOverwatch]

I listened to the terminator section with Ciaphas Cain's reaction to a genestealer ripping that armor apart in mind.

[@michaelsolomon3496]

Always, any time I hear anyone say anything about space hulks, or how tough Terminator armor is, my first thought is ALWAYS that pure strain genestealers can cut through terminator armor like warm butter

[@TacticalMetalhead]

I think it's funny how Gravis was supposed to replace Terminators, but Terminators kept selling so GW updated them

[@Memelord1117]

Nothing was going to replace that.

[@knightpal1545]

I would have rioted if it actually did. Terminators are awesome.

[@aidan-h3p]

I like to think that terminator armour can survive both re-entry and its own terminal velocity relatively unharmed, so if teleportation isnt an option, terminators can always open a window and jump out of the battle barge to land on some heretical skulls.

[@aidan-h3p]

@maltheri9833 eh, it isnt the most realistic, but the rule of cool is the coolest rule of all.

An interpretation of Centurion that I like is that it functions like a psudo vehicle. Charging fortified positions and, upon crushing, the marine exits and has fresh armor and ammo ready to go.

What I liked more in first born heavy weapons marines is that their powerpacks also doubled as heavy bolter ammo pack linked to the bolter itself via ammo belt...instead of small box mag that looks it would carry like maybe 40 bolts max(is soo small)...and some cable conected to the grip(da faq) - mind-boggling for me

[@slyllamademon2652]

40k battlesector has the Aggressors you are so fond of in it, they also have Assault Terminators as a DLC unit that you can buy for like $2. They can deep strike teleport after round 2, but recieve a 35% damage penalty because they can get behind things and get a 40% damage and accuracy bonus and an increased crit chance that I don’t know off the top of my head.

[@Wasssup3232]

The Scarab Occult Terminators from SM2 really knock home how tough and fast terminators are vs games like space hulk. The one with twin Kopesh swords RUNS FASTER THAN THE VANGUARD to beat your ass. Also 6-7 las cannon headshots and they still dont die

Man, the terminators in 2nd edition 40k were ridiculous. They had a 3+ save that was rolled on 2d6 added together. Only a double 1 would fail without penetration. The assault cannon had 3 sustained fire dice and rerolled jams, so was averaging 5-6 shots per turn, in an edition where most things got 1, _maybe_ 2. These shots were at strength 8, with D10 damage (yes, D10. It was nuts.) It would melt any non-vehicle unit it shot at, to the point where a single assault cannon was one of the best dreadnought armaments available. I love 2e

My favorite terminator armor suit has to be the one worn by the chapter master of the space sharks, tyberos. Dude used modified dreadnought plate to make it fit him and is equipped with his custom melee weapons. Hunger and slake which are the holy trinity combo weapon of lightning claws, power fists. And chain blades. Why choose between a power and a chain weapon when you can have both! 😂

I'm so happy they made Gravis armour a thing. It's so cool.

[@kemarisite]

6:02 "more armor of lower quality", we've seen this historically in warships, albeit in the other direction. As warship armor in the 19th century progressed, it went from basic iron to basic steel, then face hardened Harvey steel with nickel, and finally to face-hardened Krupp armor with the addition of chromium. At each step, the same level of protection could be achieved by thinner (and therefore lighter) plates. For example, 10" of Krupp armor might offer the same protection as 12" of Harvey armor, 15" of compound armor, or over 20" of basic iron armor. If weight wasn't an issue and the cost of fabrication was dramatically different, then a thicker plate of lower quality armor could make sense.

My first 40k army was the Death Wing. An army of all terminators. I sucked at playing them because being an absolute noob meant I didn't know how to play them to their strengths.

Tactical Drednaught/Terminator Armour is just cool.

I LOVE MY GRAVIS BOYS. On the table top while having a worse save than my termies that t6 stat really makes enemy infantry wound rolls harder so I don’t have to make as many saves. Sure a 4+ invuln is nice but some days the luck of the dice just isn’t on my side.
