Special Rules

Only First Company. These rules are to be used only with Terminator forces, otherwise the force becomes too unbalanced. Unless the Terminator component is at least 1,500 points, no allies may be taken.
Deep Strike.  Any Dreadnought or Terminator unit not associated with a Land Raider may deep strike if the mission allows it.
The Fell Lord.  The army must be led by a Chaos Lord.

Armory

Terminator Armor. Terminator armor, in addition to the abilities conferred in Codex: Space Marines, also confers an invulnerable save of 5+.  In addition, they may move and shoot twice up to 12" or once up to 24" with rapid fire weapons.
Power Fist.  When wielded by a Terminator, power fists can be set on several settings.  A powerfist can double the Strength of the attack, but the user attacks last.  Alternatively, the power fist can be turned off, meaning the Terminator attacks as if it had an extra close combat weapon (ST and I of the user, +1A, armor saves allowed).
Power Weapon.  A Terminator using a power weapon gains +1A.
Spiky Bits.  Terminators may choose Spiky Bits at +5 points (See Codex: Chaos Space Marines for rules).

Chaos Lord (1), Sorcerer, Greater Daemon: See Codex: Chaos Space Marines.  The army must be led by a Chaos Lord.  Note that the points value does not include the cost of Terminator armor.
