More formally known as Tactical Dreadnought armour, Terminator armour is the most impervious plate ever conceived by the Imperium. The ancient technologies required to maintain its bonded ceramite plating and fully electromotivated exoskeleton are highly mysterious and restricted. Terminator armour is precious for another reason. One shoulder pad on each suit bears the Crux Terminatus, within which it is said there is a fragment of the Emperor’s own armour. To be trusted with such a treasured relic is a great honour, and is the truest statement of the warrior’s skill, courage, honour, discipline and fortitude.
