Terminator Armor: Worth it?

[^1Romanov77]

Last time I played this game (looong time ago) Terminator Armor was pretty much a waste if used on Avitus or the Force Commander.

I remember assault cannon being bugged, not firing...as well as the storm-bolter termies.

Does this still happens?

Also, can the FC equip an assault cannon? And is it worth it?

Chaos Rising its worth it, Not the normal game ends to quickly after getting it.

Terminators rock, youll see

Terminators are a good option for squads with lower health since they add a huge armor bonus to the squad. Not to mention an increase in damage output from Terminator weaponry, so if you have a squad that has been going down on a regular basis some Terminator armor might be a good idea.

I did primarch run with x3 terminators. But my FC had more armor then 2 of them. Only lvl 20 terminator armor really OP.

there was a lack of assault cannons in chaos rising. avitus pumping out 3k dps in a weapon from the original campaign.. way to revive this thread from 2014

I beat cr with 4 terminator suits (forced my librarian to be highest chaos) on captian.

I'm at the last mission in chaos rising and half my gear is still from the standard campaign because i havent found anything better. really suffers from the lack of repeatable missions.

Very much so. Even with the termi armor, I still was using stock weapons, just becuase they worked better. Felt kinda bs to me.

I don't know if I'm so lucky, but I've swapped almost all weapons and armors from basic game during Chaos Rising Campaign. Strange thing though - game didn't ask me about difficulty level when I've imported my team, so maybe it has something to do with difficulty level? I don't know (personally I've played on "almost" the highest level).

About terminator armors - I personally think that it's great for Commander (it's limiting his mobility (even with teleporter it can be sometimes irritiating), but big amount of armor and great addition of hammer & shield are making him really powerful. It's relatively useful for Thaddeus (generally the same reasons as for commander, although I personally used this hero quite rare). The biggest dillema is with Avitus and Tarkus - because they're losing possibility to have really useful weapons (such as lascannon for Avitus). I've eventually decided to leave Tarkus with standard armor (with melta guns and melta bomb pack it's fair enough for occasional meetings with vehicles, alternatively I'm attaching thermal gun to Davian, if I'm expecting more of those), and give the terminator armor to Avitus (with assault cannon he's great for annihiliating infantry, both heavy and normal).
