Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Imperial Guard (section)

====Militarum Tempestus====

*'''Militarum Tempestus Command Squad:''' Deepstriking Command Squads. Similar to the Cadian and Platoon versions, every model can be kitted out for a specific role/utility, but they can also only take one of each gun, locking you out of Melta spam. See the [[{{PAGENAME}}#Regimental|Regimental]] section for more discussion of Command Squads in general, including Attaches.  Note that you ''can'' take Attaches, and they'll deep strike with you just like Bodyguards, but Bodyguards have Militarum Auxilla, which is why they don't block Scion Troops - Attaches have no special rule, so an [[what|Officer of the Fleet to buff your Valkyries will shut down your ObSec]].
**The Command Rod gives him access to Prefectus Orders (but he can only order other {{W40Kkeyword|Militarum Tempestus}} units, and doesn't increase the number of orders.)
***The Prime is so modeled as to not have any melee weapons (that dagger is [[Tau|suspiciously]] [[Bonding Knife|purely ceremonial]]), and since you'll want to replace his pistol to take the Command Rod on the Prime, his only [[Derp|weapons are grenades]].
**The fact that he can only issue one order shouldn't really matter, but it does. Ideally, you ''shouldn't'' be spreading your Scions thin and should all have them close enough that the one order will bounce off, and close enough to the Command Squad to proc '''Drill Commander'''.
**BUT! Placing Scions in deep strike means [[Derp|going a turn without orders]], and placing the Command Squad in a Transport has its own issues: since Orders are issued in the Command Phase, your Scions all drop in after Orders have been issued. The '''only''' exception is for those jumping out of a Valkyrie/Taurox: Officers who disembark can then issue their single order, but this order ''can never benefit from Regimental Tactics/Bounce''. Because of mandatory order of events, Valkyrie disembarking always happens before Reinforcements arrive via Deepstrike. And no, you can't pop out of the Taurox after moving, only [[Armageddon Steel Legion|Mechanised Infantry]] and affiliated Kasrkin can do that.
**The best thing about this squad is they can take an Ogryn Bodyguard that can Deep Strike along with them. The entire unit gets '''Look Out, Sir''', but the Ogryn provides the entire unit with T5 until he is removed.  Same trick works with Attaches (Ordnance/Fleet/Astropath), but they'll break your rule letting you field Scions as Troops.
