Product Information

The few brave Adepts within the Adeptus Ministorum who suggest that all of this is a waste of good talent are reminded that these trials are essential to wean out the truly remorseless from those haunted by doubt. Besides, there are always thousands more orphans delivered into their hands each standard year -- such losses are hardly of import. Contents: 1 Master of Possession (HQ), 10 Chaos Space Marines (Troops), 2 Greater Possessed (Elites), 1 Venomcrawler (Heavy Support), 2 Obliterators (Heavy Support) Tempestus Scions, and the Commissars that lend discipline to their ranks, undergo the same exhaustive training regimen within the Schola Progenium, yet they fulfil very different and highly specialised roles in battle. Chart depicting the structure and organisation of the various organisations of the Imperium of Man. The most secretive of all the organisations that recruit their agents from the Schola Progenium is the Emperor's Holy Inquisition. Powerful beyond measure, the Inquisition takes only those who excel physically, mentally and spiritually. Though these prodigies join the ranks as Acolytes under the province of a more senior Inquisitor, the canniest and most capable of their number will become Inquisitors in their own right.

The records of the most glorious of these wars are relayed to each Schola Progenium as a lesson on what it means to be a Tempestus warrior. The Ordo Tempestus commands the finest human soldiers in the galaxy. Its disciplined ranks boast not only the elite Scions of the Militarum Tempestus but also brutal Commissars. Descended from the very best and bravest of the Imperium’s noble bloodlines, these exceptional warriors are called upon to to perform the toughest of missions in humanity’s darkest hour.When this iron determination and tactical autonomy are wedded to the Tempestus Scions' specialist abilities and lauded martial discipline, the resultant formations are dependable beyond all reasonable expectation. Having trained and developed in the same environment, each is aware of the other's strengths and will instinctively respond the same way in a firefight. Like most 40K factions, there are many ways of theming a Guard infantry army. You might want hordes of expendable infantry fixing bayonets and dying like heroes, you might be a complete tank nut who wants to paint as few troops as possible, or you might be keen to do an elite force of special forces Tempestus Scions. The thing is, all of those things are doable but not exactly beginner friendly (because they involve, respectively, a horrifying number of dudes to paint, dire board control, and a silly degree of system mastery to be effective). Because of that, I will henceforth assume that you are building the classic, balanced force. Military exercises with live ammunition are conducted in the harsh landscape surrounding a Schola Progenium or on nearby moons. Cadets are often expected to endure solar days in the wilderness with little food or instruction, and limited weaponry with which to combat whatever violent fauna roams the planet.

This book dramatically expands what you can do with some extra rules for making your own regiments, using tank aces, and adding loads more depth to your elite option for core troops: the Tempestus Scions. For more info, see our rules breakdown on the Guard stuff from this book here. Note that everything here will likely be rendered obsolete when the 9th edition of the main Codex comes out.Amidst the trials and challenges, the Drill Abbot will constantly assess and reassess as to who will make an excellent Tempestus Scion, an excellent Commissar, or who would be better suited within the Adeptus Terra.
