Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus ™ Terminator Boost Guide

To maximize Badge income during the Terminator Boost event in Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus ™, deploy high-durability Terminator units to choke points on the map while supporting them with mobile ranged units and healers.

Deploying Terminator Squads for Badge Farming

Terminator-armored characters—such as Arjac Rockfist, Death Guard Terminators, and Black Legion Terminators—serve as frontline anchors during the boost event. Their high health pools and defensive capabilities allow them to absorb heavy incoming damage without requiring immediate rescue.

Using these units effectively reduces squad attrition during stage clears, allowing you to secure Badges needed for character skill progression in other modes like Guild Raids and Arena.

Positioning and Mobility Limitations

While Terminator armor offers superior defense, it comes with a mobility penalty across the hex grid.

• Movement constraints: Low movement speed can delay arrival at capture points or timed objectives.
• Range limitations: Melee specialization requires pairing with long-range or high-burst damage dealers to clear distant enemy threats.
• Healing efficiency: Because Terminators possess deep health pools, percentage-based healing abilities provide greater effective health recovery than on standard infantry.

Squad Roles for Boost Event Nodes

Execution Sequence

1. Anchor the frontline early: Move Terminator units into bottleneck hexes to block enemy movement paths.
2. Engage high-threat melee targets: Force high-damage enemy melee units to hit your Terminators rather than fragile allies.
3. Clear objectives with secondary units: Use lighter infantry or ranged attackers to capture hex points and deal burst damage from safety.
4. Reinvest earned Badges: Apply farmed Badges directly to key character passive and active skills to prepare for future difficulty spikes.
