	The '''Ordo Tempestus''', also known as the '''Militarum Tempestus''', is amongst the most rigidly codified of all Imperial organisations, for its men form the backbone of the Astra Militarum. Though the Ordo is technically a sub-faction governed by the [[Administratum\|Adeptus Administratum]], it enjoys a unusually far greater level of autonomy than the regiments that often fight alongside it much to the chagrin (and potential penis envy) of said regiments. The Ordo's ranks are primarily comprised of [[Commissar\|Commissars]] and Tempestus Scions, though they have often included specialist factions mysteriously absent from Imperial records. In every theatre of war across the galaxy, the Ordo's men work alongside the incalculable might of the [[Astra Militarum]], their elite training complementing the sheer manpower and tanks of the Imperial Guard. And yes, we are aware that if the [[Imperium]] just had the best and brightest of every world put through Stormtrooper training, they'd easily kick the shit out of any threat to tanks and tanks would kick the shit out of everything else and their mothers. Stop using common sense before a Commissar notices.

	Stormtroopers are disciplined, elite soldiers who fight without question or hesitation until their orders are fulfilled. Commissars are harsh yet inspiring leaders who ensuring that every military objective is achieved -- no matter the cost. Without the iron-willed resolution of both, the Imperium would be severely weakened in its darkest hour.

	Tempestus Scions and Commissars are remorseless and efficient killers, but these warriors are not born that way (although ten thousand years of a Darwinian galaxy may have fixed that). They are forged within the [[Schola Progenium\|Schola Progenia]] which like all things coming from this place, creates a fine batch of the Emperor's psychotic killers. Would-be recruits are sent to harsh training camps based on long-established Imperial worlds. It is these ancient facilities that are responsible for taking the orphaned offspring of the Imperium and transforming them into ruthless soldiers.

	There are two things that makes the Militarum Tempestus stand out; the first is that they are a very small (and we mean '''''SMALL'''''), elite army comprised of Stormtroopers. The second is that they have a very limited unit selection choice - seriously, they only have five/six units to choose from (only 2 of these are decent combat units), [[Derp\|they don't even have a special character,]] [[What\|hell, even the fucking]] ''[[Harlequin\|Harlequins]]'' have more unit variety than they do, and that's saying something. That said, the unit hits '''hard'''; with the standard infantry weapon being AP-2, you can put a dent in anything <strike>short of a [[terminator]]</strike> with your basic dudes, and you have [[plasma]] for what you can't. Combined with their ability to spam air power, since they have no other fast attack option, and an army-wide armor save of 4+, the Tempestus hit hard, while not quite being a glass cannon, though still kind of frail. Because of this, you have to choose carefully where you want to play. A Stormtrooper army may be nice, but they still lack sufficient armor support, artillery, and heavy weapons, which means that they are often paired up with the [[Imperial Guard]] to provide cover support. So choose wisely. [[Tl;dr]] they are Imperial [[Dark Eldar]], seriously they play like one. Focus on destroying threats to your armor so your armor can kill everyone else with impunity. Like in real life.		There are two things that makes the Militarum Tempestus stand out; the first is that they are a very small (and we mean '''''SMALL'''''), elite army comprised of Stormtroopers.
