===Orders=== Unlike their Astra Militarum version, these Tempestus forces have their own unique orders. Do note AM orders don't work on MT units, and MT orders don't work on AM units. *'''Directed Firestorm Sanctioned!''' (Otherwise known as ''First Rank, Fire! Second Rank, Fire!'') - When shooting, the ordered unit gets twin-linked. For the wins. FRFSRF is still the better command when looking for volume of fire, but whatever gets the job done, eh? Don't forget it effects all weapons in the squad, so enjoy those twin-linked special weapons/thrown grenades. *'''Autonomous Fire Sanctioned!''' - Ordered Unit gets Preferred Enemy when shooting a target. Nice enough. Handy for Plasma Command Squads. Just slap 4 Plasma Guns and 2 Plasma Pistols on a Command Squad + Commissar, Deep Strike within 12" (Thank you, Auger Array) and devour something nasty, like Termies/Termie Knockoffs. Wounding on 2+ feels even better when you can reroll the 1s. *'''Close Assault Doctrine Sanctioned!''' - Ordered unit gets Crusader for the rest of the turn. I guess if you need some goons to die, then let them die in style! If you're going to assault some space [[Tau|blueberries]] or [[Grot|Grots]], you can toss this on the squad to help ensure a sweep. Otherwise, strictly for run moves. *'''Advance on Target!''' (Otherwise known as ''Move! Move! Move!'') - Ordered unit gets Fleet. Give this order if you're going to assault with all those delicious Krak Grenades/Meltabombs, or if you're not sure you're going to make the charge on those [[Tau|Weeaboos]] with the [[Troll|Grav Drone]]. Otherwise, use the order above. Reroll your Run die, or roll two dice and pick the highest? <s>Your choice.</s> Rolling 2 dice and picking the highest is the best option. Always. *'''Suppression Doctrine Sanctioned!''' (Otherwise known as ''Suppressive Fire!'') - Ordered units firing Hot-Shot Laspistols/Lasguns can only fire one shot, but that shot gets Sniper and Pinning. Also, the unit cannot charge in the assault phase. See this order right here? Unless you're packing Special Weapons you want to do all the work, this is how you kill things tougher than you. [[-4_Str|Str 3]] got you down? How does ALWAYS wounding on a 4+ sound? How about Precision Shots and RENDING to boot? You do lose volume of fire within 9", but if you're engaging beyond that distance, accept no substitute. Probably better against MCs and Vehicles than the order below. Very nice with those Formations handing out twin-linked like candy. *'''Elimination Protocol Sanctioned!''' (Otherwise known as ''Bring It Down!'') - Ordered unit gets Rending against an enemy MC/Vehicle. You want to like this order, since it seems so nice. However, let's face facts. Your Stormies should be packing some special heat like Plasma Guns or Meltas for heavy duty targets like these. Giving them Rending is meh. Other choices (Grenade Launchers/Flamers/Thrown Kraks) getting rending is, at best, a desperation move. Sure, you 'may' be able to roll enough sixes in shooting to wreck that light vehicle, but if you're close enough to double tap with your Hot-Shot Lasguns and/or throw a Krak, then you're probably close enough to assault with said Kraks.
