I love Terminators. They terminate things the way that Arnold used to terminate things before ten too many of those Austrian jellied crullers. Despite my deep and frankly, slightly unnatural, love of Terminators, I'm tempted to suggest that you take a Tac squad. Tactical squads are obscenely good as you well know, better than most armies elite choices. Ten of them have as much reliability and survivability as a five "man" Termie squad of dastardly death dealing destruction.
Of course the Terminators will kill virtually anything they face, do so in style, and they're sexy....oh so sexy.
Still, I say Tactical Marines. I will stick to this like Lincoln's beard sticks to the underside of a Soviet era Kirov class guided missile cruiser.
