The Tempest Bolter is the middle child between the storm bolter and hurricane bolter.

Whereas the Hurricane Bolter is a set of [[Dakka|six twin-linked Bolters]], the Tempest Bolter seem to be a set of four Bolters (Or Bolt Rifles) linked together in a similar configuration, albeit far more compact and modulated. Although this means that the Tempest Bolter has a lower rate of fire, could carry less ammunition and has a lesser range, it also means that it is much easier to maintain, less bulky and provides more accurate fire.

The Tempest Bolter is the main secondary armament of the [[Gladiator Tank]], specifically, the Gladiator Reaper. Although all variants of the Gladiator Tank could swap out one of its secondary weapons with the Tempest Bolter, the Reaper seems to complement this weapon the most due to its layout. On a more interesting note, due to how compact the weapon system is, it is unknown how it dispenses the build-up of heat, because other than the barrel, there seems to be no other way for the weapon to vent out excess heat.

Crunchwise, the Tempest Bolter complements ''very well'' with the Twin [[Heavy Onslaught Gatling Cannon]]s. While the primary Twin Heavy Onslaught Gatling Cannons deal with hordes at range, the Tempest Bolter cleans up the stragglers at close range. All in all, the Gladiator Reaper is a literal [[Imperial Guard|mobile wall of guns.]] More details on its statlines could be seen in its profile down below.
