Terminator Heavy Weapons

[Redbaron997]

I'm coming back in from 5th edition so I'm doing alit of catch up. Do Terminators no longer have the ability to move and shoot without taking a penalty?

 

Thank you

They have a -1 to shooting heavy weapons if they moved as far as i know :)

Alas, Terminators have no blanket rule to ignore the penalty for moving and firing heavy weapons. Certain factions have rules to negate this penalty (e.g. Thousand Sons) but this is army-specific rather than being for Terminators in general.

 

On the positive side, Terminators are cheaper than they have been for several editions and now have 3 Wounds so they are not a bad unit (although some Chapters can leverage their abilities better than others).

Well the Loyalist Terminators have 3 wounds, the Chaos counterpart have 2 currently :)

Unfortunately, the "stable firing platform" that terminators are claimed to be doesn't extend to heavy weapons - they do, however, always get to rapid fire out to max range, so they are stable with storm bolters at least. Even a unit of 5 puts out a fearsome amount of shots.
