Everything was pushed back by two years in that incarnation, I guess.

I gotta replace Terminator 2 with the Skynet Edition. It's the longer version, and... everyone knows about this. I feel like this can comfortably be called the Judgment Day timeline seeing as how this is the longest version of Terminator 2. We can just argue that every timeline branches off of this version on June 9th, 1995.

Also, I feel like The Terminator: Hunters and Killers could be in the Tempest Future War timeline just due to publishers, but honestly, I have no idea. It's fine where it is, I guess.

Also, in theory, I could include RoboCop on this timeline... I'm not sure I want to right now, but I could.

They can be added in due time, I'm sure.

Oh sorry! I remembered wrong. I meant 1986!
terminator.fandom.com
1986
Hiro Tagatoshi was born in the year 1986. In T2: Rising Storm, John Connor remarks the original Judgment Day happening "fifteen years ago". Since the story takes place in 2001, this makes Judgment Day happens approximately in 1986 instead of the 1997 as mentioned in the film Terminator 2...

And which comics also need adding in?

I'm aware of every comic, so I wouldn't worry. Probably just a Terminator 3 adaptation comic.
Terminator zero Could fit in Sarah Connor chronicles? In Sarah Connor chronicles the Judgment day occurs?Well, they confirmed that all the films are canon to the Terminator Zero animated series.
'Terminator Zero' exclusive first look takes the sci-fi saga to Tokyo
'Terminator Zero' creator Mattson Tomlin gives EW an exclusive first look at the Netflix anime series, which goes back to the horror vibes of the original films.ew.com
The show is standalone and doesn't directly connect to anything, but if you want a suggestion for how you should start your personal Terminator order, I think I have a suggestion.

That can start you off, I think. From here, I'd just try and make whatever connections seem reasonable.
Im making a Terminator timeline for my fanfic Will be something like This :
2029- Dawn Of Fate or Resistance ( i dont which fits Best)
1984 - Terminator
1995- Terminator 2
1997- Terminator Zero
2007-2009- Sarah Connor chronicles

Terminator Zero has Judgement Day occur in 1997, so if you want to fit it in linearly and not through multiple timeline resets (which adds in Terminator 3-6 too), then I'd suggest this.
Timeline 1
2027 - Terminator: Dawn of Fate
Timeline 2
2045 - Terminator Zero
Timeline 3
2022 - Terminator Zero
Timeline 4
1997 - Terminator Zero
2029 - Terminator: Resistance
Timeline 5
1984 - The Terminator
1995 - Terminator 2: Judgment Day
2027 - Terminator: Dawn of Fate
Timeline 6
1984 - The Terminator
1995 - Terminator 2: Judgment Day
2007 - Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Really, though... Terminator Zero is canonically connected to all six films, which is supported by the RPG referencing Judgment Day going from 1997 (T1-2) to 2003 (NOW Comics?) to 2004 (T3-4) to 2011 (TSCC) back to 1997 (Genisys?), as well as the creators literally saying the other films are canon.

For a fanfic, I would recommend just picking a timeline that fits you best as being 100% in line, then adopt elements from other timelines as much as you like to show that they happened.
There's no reason why some of Terminator Zero's events couldn't have happened in a reality where Judgement Day didn't happen in 1997.

In Sarah Connor chronicles the Judgment day happens ?like There is a big War or anything like that?

Technically it happens in 2011, pushed back from 1997 during T2. That's the start date, and the future war in that show lasts between 2011 to at least 2027.
That's the timeline in which the time travellers come from (though some of them come from slightly different JD 2011 timelines)... but the show ends with John Connor going forward in time to the future war, meaning that Judgment Day was never prevented and it still happens in 2011 in the shows timeline, where John Connor disappeared between 2009 and 2027.
Ok Thanks!!
