Grey Knight Mark 3
So important are the tasks assigned to the Ordo
Malleus that no expense is spared for their equipment. All the
latest technology is lavished on their Terminator suits and their
appearance reflects this. The wrist-mounted Stormbolter is a new
design enabling the hand to be free to grasp the long Nemeis force
weapons. The bulk behind the shoulders is again reduced with further
advances in heat-sink technology, and a side-effect of this is
that the head has more scope for movement. The veterans who wear
this armour are all psychers who need the utmost protection from
enemy mages. Thus a Terminator version of the Grey Knight’s
aegis “jousting” helm is employed. The flanged-edged
shoulder pads are a design common to Marines in the Inquisition’s
service, including the Ordo Xenos’ Death Watch Chapter.
Notes & Sources:
The penultimate addition to the Terminator
family, these Marines are the shape of things to come. The stoic
poses of previous incarnations are gone, with the use of larger
bases allowing more dynamic leg positions. It remains to be seen
if any Ordo Xenos or Hereticus Terminators will emerge.
