Algoroth Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 After reading Titanicus and Mechanicum, I decided my long-unpainted Reavers would be in Legio Tempestus colors. Our club is running a Superheavy Battle table at Games Day Toronto this year, and I wanted to add some Loyalist reinforcement to my Khorne Reaver. In progress: http://www.ido-photography.ca/40k/temp1.jpg If anybody knows of a reference to Tempestus heraldry, please share. I've scoured Mechanicum to no avail, and don't have a copy of Titanicus at the moment. I want to do banners and such, but can't really if I have nothing to put on them :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Lego Tempestus is the Lego seen most in the Epic 40K and Epic Apocalypse art. They have a deep green color scheme as seen on the Epric Warlord box set. Another source is the Warhammer monthly comic book story arc "Titan".

Do you have any page specific references to allow easy verification of that? I don't mean to appear confrontational, but I've seen threads about Tempestus on other forums where all the supposed sources turned out to be either non-existant or else referred to Tempestor.

Tempestus was described as having cobalt blue armor plates throughout Mechanicum. Tempestus is also the Legio already on Orestes before Invicta arrives to supply aid in Titanicus.

jeffersonian000 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Sorry, I was thinking of Invictus, not Tempestus. Invictus is the Legio in the "Titan" comic storyline as well as in Titanicus, and has the deep green color scheme seen on the Epic 40k titan model sets. I was confussed.

Algoroth Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hey, it's OK. Sadly, that means I'm back where I started. I'm tempted to just use Tempestor heraldry. Their scheme before they turned traitor was very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where was Lego mentioned? ;) I'd say they would have lightning around the armour, in reference to 'Storm'/'Tempest'. Not sure about the Logo however. Check Bell Of Lost Souls for a transfer sheet. They do alot. Actually, they only have Tempestor. Sorry B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same Legio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algoroth Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Not the same Legio, since Tempestor turned traitor, and Tempestus remained failthful to the Imperium. As it so happens, Dan Abnett was at GD Toronto, and I had an opportunity to speak to him on the subject of heraldry. His reply, after confirming he and Graham McNeil had collaborated on the Legio, was: "We intentionally left that part blank, to make it easier to model." So, there's officially no official heraldry :P I had him autograph the carapaces of my Tempestus Reavers instead, I say that makes them very official :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Whoa! The Legio Tempestus! I just read Mechanium, and love it! --Spoiler Alert-- Didn't they get wiped out in the defence of Magma City though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassakov Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Nope. Elements of them were destroyed, including the first God Machine but some survived on different worlds. Think of it like the Istvaan Loyalists - bought to within an inch of annihilation, but a few survived and rebuilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read Mechanium, and love it! --Spoiler Alert-- Didn't they get wiped out in the defence of Magma City though? Only a small portion of Tempestus was on Mars at that time for retrofit/repair, the bulk of the Legio's strength was still out in the field. The fact that their Mars presence (and one can assume, their Mars HQ) was eliminated doubtless led to their re-locating to Orestes by the time we see them again in Titanicus.

Algoroth Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 I sprayed black, basecoated Necron Abyss, highlighted 1:1 Necron Abyss:Mordian Blue, painted the trim Chainmail, washed the entire beast Badab Black, re-highlighted the blue with the 1:1 mixture, and did a final highlight of Mordian Blue. Make sure to post pics, we'd all love to see the end result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algoroth Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 That's a Legio Tempestor Reaver one of the Fly Lords from Bell of Lost Souls took to Adepticon for the Gladiator tourney. Note the Eye of Horus on the top banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Angel Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 It appears at the moment the colors are the same. As both Legio are in fact named the Storm Lords; Legio Tempestor may be renagades of Tempestus that sided with the warmaster and Fabricator General. Its kinda in Limbo after the book.

Other than BOLS, I can't remember ever seeing Tempestor as a Chaos legion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than BOLS, I can't remember ever seeing Tempestor as a Chaos legion. Both Tempestor and Magna acquired their "Legio" names with Codex Armageddon wherein they were both loyalists, but both the Storm Lords and Flaming Skulls had previously been traitor titan legions in the original Codex Titanicus in 1989 (before titan legions had faux-latin names).
