New Terran units have been spotted in leaked scans from a Swedish gaming magazine, Super Play. The new units have already been confirmed by Karune on the Battle.net forums (scroll down). We have the scans and the translations:

Marine:

It wouldn’t be StarCraft without them. They are the backbone of the Terran army, after all.
Planetary Fortress:

The Terran HQ can be upgraded to a Planetary Fortress. It’s a HQ with a large defensive weapon on top.
Thor:

The biggest new boy is called Thor, named after the Thunder God. A guy like this can take down an enemy base on its own.
Sensor Dome:

With this building, the Terran can see enemy units on the map, even if they are moving in undiscovered territory.
We’ve already seen the Sensor Dome in a screenshot from the game (click for big):
Ghost:

Yeah, they’re back.

Viking Fighter:

Say hello to the Terran’s own Transformer. The Viking can transform from an air fighter to a mech. Convenient if you’re flying and you run into anti-air defenses.
Supply Depot:
New in the Terran base is a building that can pack itself up and submerge below the surface so that your units may pass over it. It works well as a first line of defense in the early stages of the game.

Nothing new in this section. Note the new weapon of the Dark Templar:

That’s it for now. We hope to hear more about these units from Blizzard themselves soon, and see some in-game action!
