The Horus Heresy: Legion Tartaros Terminator Squad
Legion Tartaros Terminators are an iconic elite unit for Legiones Astartes armies, combining the authority of Terminator armour with a cleaner and more mobile-looking silhouette. On the battlefield, they feel like veteran warriors sent where the fighting is fiercest, making them ideal for players who want a force with real presence and elite character. From a hobby perspective, this is a highly appealing set for painters and collectors thanks to its broad armour panels, Legion styling and the strong visual identity of the Horus Heresy era.
The Horus Heresy: Legion Tartaros Terminator Squad
- Elite Terminator infantry for Legiones Astartes armies in The Horus Heresy
- Tartaros armour combines the imposing look of Terminators with a sleeker, more agile profile
- A strong pick for players, collectors and painters who want iconic heavy infantry with real tabletop presence
Veteran Terminators in Tartaros armour
Tartaros Terminators represent elite Legion warriors equipped for the most dangerous engagements. They bring the unmistakable prestige of Terminator armour while offering a more elegant and dynamic visual impression than bulkier variants. That makes them especially attractive to hobbyists who want a unit that looks imposing on the table, fits naturally into a wide range of Legion themes and still feels versatile enough to justify its place in an elite army list.
Where the unit fits in your army
This unit works especially well in armies that want a visible elite core capable of supporting the main advance or holding important ground. Within Legiones Astartes forces, it fits both highly thematic Legion collections and more flexible builds that need a powerful infantry element with prestige and battlefield weight. It is also a strong addition for collectors who want models that reinforce the identity and status of their chosen Legion.
Why add this unit to your collection
- It gives your army a recognisable elite element with real authority, presence and battlefield character
- It offers a strong mix of gaming value, collector appeal and rewarding painting potential
- It suits both thematic Legion projects and broader Horus Heresy forces looking for an elite infantry anchor
Where this unit stands out most
- Against elite infantry: Tartaros Terminators feel most at home in hard-fought engagements where durable veteran infantry is needed to contest important areas and challenge other elite units.
- In central battlefield pressure: They are particularly effective in games where controlling the middle of the table and forcing the opponent to respond to a tough, prestigious unit matters more than sheer numbers.
- Overall battlefield impression: This is a unit for players who enjoy advancing with confidence, applying pressure and building their army around elite models that feel valuable both in the game and in the display cabinet.
