Militarum Tempestus Final Review


I love the Militarum Tempestus, but as a standalone army it is sub par.  The orders they get are good, but without senior officer, you are significantly limited in actually getting to use them.  They have no real AA for dealing with FMCs, and no way to deal with really strong units.  The army does excel at MSU and cutting through most armor saves, but with weakly armored vehicles can struggle to move about and stay alive.  Deep strike helps, but risks your army being tabled before coming in.  In short, they are fun and cool looking, but without allies struggle significantly.

Fall of Cadia: Castellans of the Imperium Detachment


Continuing off of yesterday, I'm going to continue looking at the Castellans Detachment, with a specific focus on Miltarum Tempestus and why it helps this army out so much.  MT is not a bad army per say, but due to exclusion of a few units, one in particular, and lack of senior officer, the army has significant weaknesses that need to be addressed to play in the current game and stand a chance.
