The Militarum Tempestus, also known as the Ordo Tempestus,
forms the elite backbone of the Astra Militarum,
serving as its special operations units.
Primarily comprised of Commissars and the special forces troops
known as Tempestus Scions,
elite special forces trained from their youth.
Deep strike assaults, reconnaissance, infiltration, sabotage,
airborne and orbital insertion are just a few of the special operations
to which they are tasked.
Tempestus Scions are divided into distinct categories:
The more common Grenadiers,
defenders of their homeworlds.
The Storm Troopers;
armed with their trademark Hot-shot Lasguns, Hellpistols
and highly-protective Carapace Armour.
The Catachan Devils;
seasoned jungle fighters that are deadly in close combat.
The Kasrkin;
elite Cadian Shock Troops and the ultimate defenders of Cadia.
And the Kill Squad Troopers;
when extreme prejudice is required.
