Editing Chaos Terminator (section)

===Eighth and 9th Edition: Enhanced Termicide===

Termies got buffed 2 wounds per model, combi bolters are rapid fire 2, other combi weapons are no longer one shot and both profiles can be fired simultaneously. Oh, and they can charge after deep-striking (tricky needing to make 9" on 2d6, but still). Truly, everything got a buff in this edition eventually, but termies are still better than most other choices due to their versatility. They don't really need any stratagems to make them playable and their pretty scary when they are used on them; they don't require synergy with the rest of the army but can synergize rather well with them, especially with Termie Lords or Sorcerers.

9th edition is still up in the air but given that CSM now have 3 attacks base, it's not hard to imagine termies getting an upgrade as well. So far, they're slated to get 3 wounds and attacks, putting them in line with everything else in the elites slot. It seems that termicide might get reined in a bit as there will be limits as to how many of each combi-weapon can be taken per 5 termies.
It's worse than we thought; Combi-Weapons have been limited to what's in the box, same with powerfists and chainfists. Every other melee weapon is now an “accursed weapon” akin to a power sword. What this means is that[[derp| Terminators now have less customization than their loyalist equivalent while having less power to kill anything in close combat, since all melee weapons share a profile as a Power Sword.]] The Chosen got the same problems too,[[fail| turning 2 of the most versatile units in Chaos Space Marines and making them useless to many situations.]] We waited 2 years for this?
