Indefragable Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Quick questions: A) Militarum Tempestus Platoons can receive Orders from a Company Command Squad/Platoon Command Squad, correct? B) The only way to get the MT-specific Orders is by using one of the two MT-exclusive Formations from the MT Codex, correct? Thanks for the clarification.

WarriorFish Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 You are correct yes. Stormies taken as part of an Elite slot for a Guard army function as part of the army, and they don't have access to the Stormie specific orders as they're part of the C:MT book. I'm sure someone with the books to hand can clarify page numbers and wording for you :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323733-militarum-tempestus-orders/#findComment-4436794 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure someone with the books to hand can clarify page numbers and wording for you I have ideas for an Inquisitorial Stormtrooper force, but I don't like the cost (real world and points-wise) of the MT Formations. Getting 4x Hot Shot Volley guns with Ignores Cover seems pretty scary to me.

WarriorFish Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 The Stormie start collecting box is nice, a great way to kick off a collection (mandatory plug for online resellers for further savings here). I got the box to give me a good number of models to get going with and may get a second at some point in the future C:MT was one of the test beds for the "minidexes" so suffers a little in that GW wasn't trying anything too bold and it was all a bit new so I'm hoping for some deserved buffs in the future. They'd got nicely with the Inquisition for some great lore opportunities. Definitely an army for the aggressive and bold general - who dares wins indeed Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323733-militarum-tempestus-orders/#findComment-4437090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Antaeus Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 The AM orders are better, anyway. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323733-militarum-tempestus-orders/#findComment-4437205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandwen Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 You can take a cad from Militarum Tempestus. The scion command squads and commissars are both hq's. Oh, and the sniper order they have is wonderful on str 3 shooting.

Kontakt Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 The AM orders are better, anyway. Yes, but also no. The MT orders are better suited to some situations and the AM orders to others. Personally, I feel the MT orders are better for a "standalone" force, though I covet the order to ignore cover available to the regular guard.

Master Antaeus Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Personally, FRFSRF and the one that lets you shoot then move. Scions are vulnerable anyway, there's no sense adding insult to injury by leaving them in deep strike formation. Bonus points if you deep struck them near a chimera with an augur array and then issued the order to shoot and scatter from the same.

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 MT's got some ok orders, though the AM ones certainly outshine them. MT's orders in general are less focused on the lasguns, and more so on improving MT's ability to do stuff. It's sad that this is the case, since those MT orders had the potential to be really good. All in all, Scions are somewhere between Stormies and Vets. Too crappy to be stormies, too good to be vets.

Correct, but just be aware that you can't issue Codex: Astra Militarum orders to Codex: Militarum Tempestus units and vice versa if you were thinking of doing that for some reason.
