The 40k Militarum Tempestus Hit Pre-Order Status
March 29, 2014 by brennon
Games Workshop have posted up the pre-orders for the Militarum Tempestus Imperial Guardsmen and the Altar of War mission book. See what you think of these new Stormtroopers...
You can get your hands on the codex which allows you to field an entire force of these elite soldiers alongside battle scarred Commissars. The box of troopers allows you to make Scions and the Scion Command Squad. Bringing the men to battle is also the Taurox which still needs those tracks lengthening for ease of movement over rubble terrain.
Altar of War brings together a collection of 63 missions for you to fight for a variety of different factions in the Warhammer 40,000 world including...
- Space Marines, including Sentinels of Terra and Clan Raukaan
- Dark Angels
- Imperial Knights
- Eldar, including lyanden
- Tau Empire, including Farsight Enclaves
- Tyranids
- Chaos Daemons
- Chaos Space Marines, including Black Legion.
...so something for (mostly) everyone.
Will you be ordering?

To me the helmeted Stormtroopers look like they’ve all dressed as Starlord from Guardians of the Galaxy. Not necessarily a bad thing
i think the mini’s look great, apart from the truck thing :/ think i might have to get a box of these guys 🙂
I would love to start an army of these guys, but i can’t help getting the feeling that they would be overpowered by all other armies, even with the support of a Valkyrie or two!
This looks GW’s take on an MRAP
sigh they need to shoot the legal team in the face
oh let rebrand somthing after 25 years so we can copywrite it the fan wont mind .. and let make them look like shit from warhammer
Too “steampunk” for me man.. I’m out.
Is this codex Storm Troopers or is it supposed to be Imperial Guard?
Spider-pig

Does whatever a Spider-pig does.
Stormtroopers look great and hark back to oldschool 40K as well.
Now we have 3D colours, The Ice Cream Delivery System looks terrible rather than really terrible, so I guess that’s something?
Can someone explain how the bloke in the turret avoids kicking the driver in the head every time the turret rotatates? or is he legless and the whole lorry his powered wheelchair?
Right-hand Drive. (GW being British) @maledrakh
I think the models look great, I’ll probably have these become Inquisitorial Henchmen.
The vehicle will probably see more time as an Ork Looted vehicle I would imagine.
The infantry models range from “quite nice” (the standard troopers) to “poor” (the command squad). The APC is laughably ugly and uninspired. I can find better looking stuff in a regular toy store.
I still have a strange urge to paint ti taurox black with a red stripe down the side and shout out the line “If you have a problem…Etc
I’d like the vehicle if it had wheels (six or eight) instead of those short tracks.
@ jazznazz, this is Codex : Strom Troopers, the new Codex : IG is out in a week or two.
As to the mini’s, I like the new Stormies, the basic Taurox is growing on me, the Prime is the one that gives me headaches because of the un-necessary bling and the stupid side weapons behind the doors.
The troopers are great and better than I thought at first. Just wish the APC was the same. The small track sections make it look dumb. But the silver lining as @number32 pointed out this would be a good base for an ork looted tank.
The APC looks like an armored dump truck with tracks. Maybe that is the look they wanted with STC construction, but it just looks like a toy truck with stuff stuck on.
The troops look good, the truck don’t an armoured ice-cream van even has guns covering the doors.
If they put wheels on it they may as well have just called it a mastiff
It looks too current to be 38,000 years in the future
Id be tempted to use the taurox as a valhallan snowcat with the right paintjob
Sorry to be the one to talk about price but £42 for one unit of 10 models that will probably be wiped out as soon as the shooting starts. Who is paid to come up with the stupid tank,Apc things. What a waste of what could have been a good Army, with a bit more thought put into it.
The troops look quite nice. The truck thing is truly terrible though.
I think the truck with a shed load of stuff from my bits box and rugged wheels swipped from my lads toy 4×4 would look awsome, kind of like a 40k armoured car, not sure thats the 40k look though and to be frank if im paying the cash i want my model to be mostly complete, not have to finnish it off for them, so its a thumbs down from me.
And 42 quid for ten models is taking the piss, so im out on that also.
The skulls are in desperately short supply.
I hate the truck less now I know these aren’t Imperial Guard. It’s still bloody awful though.
