The Militarum Tempestus Scions Leaked For Warhammer 40,000!
March 25, 2014 by brennon
More details have emerged thanks to 40k War Zone about the Militarum Tempestus and in particular their Scions which look to be the replacement name for the Stormtroopers. See what you think of these new shots, and a few detailed ones, below for the upcoming Games Workshop faction...
I am really liking the look of these new troopers for the Imperial Guard (Astra Militarum). The alternative heads look amazing in various versions from helmeted to not and the weaponry is pretty bad ass too. The top picture in particular shows off some impressive models for a faction that has been needing some changes to infantry for a while now.
It will be interesting to see how this new codex of theirs works out and what it brings to the table. I'm assuming it's dropping the 'tanks, tanks, tanks' mentality of the Astra Militarum in favour of top notch infantry teams in their transport vehicles.
What do you think?

Do you not think they look a little like Space Marine Scouts?
The troopers are absolutely superb but that vehicle is a huge swing and a miss for me.
The apc needs it’s tracks swapped for wheels, I found some resin ones online in preparation 🙂
I’ve got into the mindset now that every GW release is more bits to make the models that I want to make. So, I’ve been examining these pics for the tiny details and I am officially excited. I’ve got plans for these babies and it’s not making Tempestus Scions 😀
The infantry models look great, but the new vehicles just don’t feel right,
but I think that’s due to the horrific blue color scheme GW have used.
A darker more militaristic paint job would suit these models so much better, and I’m sure plenty
of Imperial Guard players will be doing just that with this new range.
The vehicles look too Orky for me.
WOW, the “stormtroops” just look more badass by the minute.
The transport gets worse and worse. Are we 100% this isn’t a photoshopped p*ss take?
Huh.. so you can either take the Taurox as a BA-6 or a Katyusha.. good to know..
The new storm troopers look pretty good. I’ll be tossing them into my Grey Knight army and they’ll make a nice update to my existing troopers.
Too bad that so many people on internet simply don’t understand spirit of Warhammer 40.000 and Imperial vehicles itself…We got here a great piece of old-school with this pretty truck Taurox here…I really like it…About colour scheme – this pics present Taurox Prime – Militarum Tempestus version…on the other hand,we have less pompous Taurox for Astra Militarum,without shiny helardry and in classic military colours…so its up for you,guys…And troopers are totally awesome of course…and with all that bits…they got 17(!) unique heads for 5 models and all the options you can imagine…should I say something else?..Some great new stuffs are… Read more »
Sorry, but beret and armoured face/gas mask do not go together; it looks daft. Apart from that, I think it is a move in the right direction.
The storm troopers look really cool.Wonder how much they will cost for five models and if you can use the spare heads and parts on the normal imperial guard models?
According to the fluff, when the Taurox’s are on the move, they are followed by the Benny Hill theme…
The soldiers look superb, really like the armor on them especially.
That armored car though … yeah… abysmal is pretty close to what that qualifies as.
Too big, the scale of the doors and such is too cartoony. In general, if it were up to me I’d scrap that and start again. Maybe at best it fits the Orks … but … just insulting to the Imperial Guard.
