If you’ve been itching for new options in your Legion’s heavy elite slot, this is the box to pay attention to.
These Saturnine Terminators don’t just look intimidating—they’re a customizer’s dream and a rules-tweaker’s playground. Let’s break it down like a proper heretic-hunting vet.
The Loadout Breakdown: Six Models, Tons of Firepower
At the core, each Saturnine Terminator carries two main weapons—one strapped to each arm. The standard setup out of the Liber Astartes or Liber Hereticus is a plasma bombard paired with a disruption fist. That combo alone hits hard and looks brutal.
But this is Heresy, so options abound. You can swap the plasma bombard for a twin heavy disintegrator, or double up on plasma instead. The disruption fist can either stay put or be traded out for another ranged weapon. Want a little spice? Bolt a particle shredder onto the fist and watch melee become a blender.
Better yet, the box doesn’t skimp on gear. You’ll get:
- 6 plasma bombards
- 6 twin heavy disintegrators
- 6 disruption fists (each with optional particle shredders)
That’s enough to fully kit out two squads of three in any configuration you like. Yes, even the plasma spam build.
Preferred Loadouts: Pick Your Flavor of Destruction
You’ve got three main squad styles, depending on how you want to play:
Plasma Supremacy is all about indirect fire. Think three Terminators with dual plasma bombards, bombarding from behind a wall like cowards—glorious, flaming cowards. Barrage means no line of sight needed. Sit back and delete targets while sipping recaf.
Heavy Disintegration is high-risk, high-reward. Equip three Terminators with two twin heavy disintegrators each, and you’ll turn tanks into slag and infantry into vapor. You do have to expose them to enemy fire, so positioning is key.
Multi-Role is the balanced route. Run two with disintegrators and one with a plasma bombard. Everyone gets a disruption fist with particle shredder for melee punch. This squad holds objectives, counters deep strikers, and won’t fold in a fight.
No matter the loadout, your enemy is going to feel the pain. These aren’t support units—they’re mainline dismemberment specialists.
Personalization: Bits, Poses, and Heads Galore
Let’s talk customization, because GW really went all in here.
The kit comes with 12 heads, split into four unique designs. You can run uniform squads, or mix and match for that rag-tag just-out-of-the-drop-pod look. Spiked heads scream traitor, while bionic eyes lean into sniper overwatch veteran territory.
Posing is top tier. The arm joins give you great flexibility, and each disruption fist has open and closed hand options. You’ll never feel like you’re fielding six clones—even running multiple squads, you can vary the look significantly.
That Saturnine Praetor is No Slouch Either
If the Terminators weren’t enough, the kit also includes a glorious Saturnine Praetor. This isn’t just a basic squad leader—it’s a proper centerpiece for your elite command cadre.
You get two distinct poses: one heroic foot-on-rock stance and one aggressive forward stride. The kit also includes two styles of tabards and lanyards, a Saturnine concussion hammer (with two heads), a war axe, four unique heads, and even an optional cloak. If you want a character that screams “my wargear is older than your civilization,” this is it.
Final Word: You’ll Want to Play with All the Loadouts
This box doesn’t just give you options—it begs you to try them all. Whether you’re a loyalist or a traitor, this kit fits beautifully into your force. The modularity, the aesthetic, the raw firepower—it’s all here. And it’s only going to get better once we see the full rules in the Liber Astartes and Liber Hereticus.
So if you’ve got plans to purge, defend, or rain orbital death on your foes, Saturnine Terminators are the way to do it—with style, flexibility, and a whole lot of plasma. Stay tuned, because tomorrow we’re going to find out exactly how they play on the table—and from the look of it, they’re going to hit like a grav train.
