Editing Warhammer 40,000/6th Edition Tactics/Imperial Guard (section)

==Non-Supplements based on IG==
===Militarum Tempestus===
The first official minidex (it is not a supplement) to spring from the Astra Militarum. Like the Legion of the Damned or Inquisition "codices" it's sparsely populated, <s>but unlike those armies does not give a secondary allied detachment so with these guys it's all or bust.</s> 7th edition rules fix that. Loses almost everything from the main codex though but allows you to take Tempestus Scions squads as TROOPS, Commissar Lords and Tempestus Command Squads as HQ, Tauroxes and Valkyries are FAST ATTACK. Thats it, nothing else. Drops Vendettas for some reason.
*What it's really good for though is dataslate formations, since two come with the Codex, so it gives you scoring Scions units that don't take up Elite slots like they would in an Astra Militarum army.

====Tactics====
Hey, do you like Dark Eldar? Ever wanted to go Imperium for some odd reason? Then the Militarium Tempestus is for you, son!

On paper, the Militarium Tempestus has the ability to strike hard and fast, and with AP3 shooting at BS4, anything short of Space Marine Terminators need to beware them, and their ability to Deep Strike is just icing on the cake. However, Tempestus armies depend upon having a plan and executing it successfully - and if the plan works, you'll have cut the enemy off at the head. If it fails, then a 4+ Armour save and a squishy Toughness of 3 will mean the enemy's retaliation will cripple you - and you do not have the numbers of the IG or the reliable saving throws of the Space Marines to balance this out.

Playing these guys in short is like playing as Dark Eldar - if you can strike hard and fast enough, you will cripple your opponent. However, if you screw up anywhere, it is you who will screw yourself over, so be careful.

On a side note, team up with Inquisition or Grey Knights for Inquisitorial Stormtroopers.
