Cataphractii Terminator Armour

[Just_Me]

Now that I finally got my hands on my copy of Horus Heresy: Betrayal I will be building myself a crusade/heresy Death Guard army. I LOVE the Cataphractii Terminator models so I will be using at least one unit of them. What I am struggling with is whether to give my Praetor a suit of regular terminator or Cataphractii armor. On one hand it's a slightly cheaper way to get a 4++ save (plus looks AWESOME), but at the expense of being able to run and a slightly shorter charge and consolidation. I don't often find myself running my characters as it is (I'd rather shoot for some extra damage potential) but do the penalties to mobility out way the protection? Is Cataphractii armor a viable option from a tactical perspective for characters who can get the 4++ other ways?

If he's going to be joined to the Cataphractii squad, wouldn't he have those limitations anyway? So you'd be losing nothing by just going for Cataphractii armour.

You make an excellent point. The Slow and Purposeful rule applies to all models in a unit if one has it and attaching the Praetor to a Cataphractii unit or Cataphractii command squad would make a very durable hard hitting unit. Plus they would look really cool while doing it...
