Epher Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I managed to procure a Tempest. I got a chance to field it and managed to imobilize a Predator on the first round it was fun while it lasted. So here is the question... Ravenwing squad can take a Land Speeder from the Ravenwing Support Squadron. The Tempest is not listed there. Forge World rules state that the Tempest is a Fast Attack choice for the DA. Can I attach a Tempest to my Ravenwing Squad or do I have to use another FA slot in my FOC?

3DJutsu Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 As tempest are not ravenwing support squad and since they have a specific codex entry it would take up a FA choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 But you can take three Tempests in the one FA slot so get spending :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Belial Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Rules lawyer in me says they take up another slot, but I think you may be able to get away with it in another squad if you ask permission from the other player. I've not seen one fielded so I would let it through mostly out of curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I would say they are a slot of their own (although you can get a squadron of them in one slot). If you have Sammael then they may well be worth a try for the interest value if nothing else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Sheol Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 And the Tempest LS can be easily converted from the regular LS Too so they are worth a try! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epher Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 I thought that they would take up another slot but I figured it was worth asking. I think I will have to field it a few more times but a part of me thinks it would make a sweet Sableclaw conversion since there are cheaper ways to get missile launchers and assault cannons on the table. The nice thing about it is that the missile launcher is twin linked and on an anti-air mount but there is already threads on the viability of the Tempest.

Jolemai Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 You could always ask Forgeworld. For what it's worth, in the past they have responded that their Land Raider patterns can be taken as Dedicated Transports for Terminators (and BA Troops with their previous Codex) so you never know.

SvenONE Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'm hoping that with the eventual codex or supplement/formation etc that the support squadron is re-tooled a little, the addition of the 2 extra slots is a little underwhelming. The LSV quite honestly should be able to be brought in a squadron, but if the tempest was a chassis that you could bring within it, I'd be all for it. Tempest is a great concept for a landspeeder.

Isiah Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 It takes its own slot as there is no mention of it in the Codex as being part of any other unit. I love the models -- always have. It's about time they saw a bit more love. Best of luck with it. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
