Typical Terminator Squads are equipped with an array of ranged weaponry and crackling Power Fists. These armaments allow them to mow down their foes with overwhelming volleys of missiles, bolts, assault cannon rounds and roaring flames, before punching to death anything fortunate enough to have survived. Terminator Assault Squads, meanwhile, take an even less subtle route and forgo ranged combat altogether. Instead, they carve their way into the enemy with Lightning Claws and Thunder Hammers, deflecting enemy fire with their towering Storm Shields. This combination is especially effective in the close confines of boarding actions or tunnel-fighting, where a single Terminator Assault Squad can slaughter many times their number of foes without taking a single casualty.
