Traitor Mark 3b
During the Horus Heresy a number of
the Adeptus Mechanicus warehouses on Mars fell to the traitor
legions. They pillaged the stock rooms and were able to
equip many hundreds of traitor legionnaires with the latest
weapons, ammunition and equipment. Their main aim to secure
suits of the new Mark 6 standard Space Marine armour that
had just rolled out across the Imperium, for its use by
loyalists was giving them the edge in combat. The traitors
were surprised to come across a new version of Terminator
armour – the Mark 3b. Hence these suits found their
way to the trenches on the backs of the Chaos followers.
The thousands of years that these vanquished troops have
spent under the influence of the Chaos gods in the Eye of
Terror has warped their armour into strange and twisted
parodies of its former shape. The all too frequent addition
of gruesome trophies further distorts their appearance.
Notes & Sources:
The Mark3b traitor types are one of the newer
additions to the Terminator range and Chaos Undivided types have
appeared as hard copies. They are encrusted with detail and their
spiked trophy racks and tusks make them highly distinguishable
from the Loyalist suits. All the weapons have been re-designed
with the addition of chains, daemonic faces and Chaos sigils covering
their surfaces. As yet no Power specific hard copies have been
produced - the graphic is after an illustration of a Khornate
Cult Terminator.
