The biggest question for me is can any of these relics be used by a character in terminator armor. I like vanilla marines but I also usually run a squad of termies and I usually put my an HQ choice in there with them to add some extra attacks to the squad. However, if you can’t take the shield or the burning blade or the fancy chainsword then I guess I will just keep using my old commander model with a huge powersword as a counts as thunderhammer.

The only one (or two) that doesn’t suck is the standard, 65 points for Hatred, morale re-rolls and assault bonuses is reasonable. The problem is it just makes the Chaplain even more worthless and redundant.
The chainsword might be good, I just can’t remember what rampage does. That will make or break it really.
The big problem is they all cost far too much and their averages suck. The storm bolter can’t kill one MEQ on average. The Burning Blade is worse against MC’s than the power fist, which costs half its price tag. Initiative is irrelevant as most MC’s strike first and against those that don’t they probably don’t pose a realistic threat anyway. The armour costs 4 times that of a storm shield, and its only useful attribute is the 2+ invulnerable, which only comes into its own if you have the ridiculously expensive Storm Shield too. At that point you’re paying enough points to buy another HQ entirely, or a special character.

Which is absolutely worthless because if you’re not as far away as possible the profile becomes sucktastic.

is that really worth 60 points? especially seeing as hes probably already got a 2+ armour save, youre basically paying for that twice.

The ranged weapon would be great with a Terminator/Bike Commander as it would synchronize well with those units. Personally, I’m excited for the Burning Blade. Price and risks aside, that weapon looks awesome!

very strong relics … ok, the ranged weapon is crap as always. But the shield with 2 melee weapons, ap2 + 3 Strength at initiative .. pair that with the shield and you couldn’t care less about the possible str 4 ap 2 hit.
The chainsword is good too and cinematic as you put it, worth a pick not only for fluff reasons imo. Pretty decent armour, who cares about the 6++ when the HQ’s got iron halo anways. I know scriptors don’t have it, but when you take a scriptor, you should autoinclude tiggy anway.
Poor DA, they got all the crap relics, and they don’t even have a terminator weaponlist …
