Tempestus Scions, also known as Storm Troopers in Low Gothic, are the elite shock assault troops of the Imperial Guard.[1] They are trained to carry out special operations such as deep strike assaults, reconnaissance, and infiltration beyond enemy lines. Storm Troopers are the very best soldiers the Guard has to offer, being trained to the peak of human perfection, their combat skills are unmatched.[2]
Overview
Used to enact missions that the regular Imperial Guard can not handle, Scions have undergone a brutal training regime and are armed with the very best weaponry available to the Guard. Their violent potential is enhanced by rigid discipline and will carry out any order regardless of how inhumane it may be. Fully prepared to give their own lives for the Imperium, Scions are indoctrinated with a sense of obedience and duty that overrides any instinct of personal safety.[1a]
Scions are orphans who were raised in the Schola Progenium and during their time in its harsh and miserable training camps, Scions are instilled with a strong sense of loyalty to the Imperium as well as battle tactics. They are homogenized and mentally broken, then rebuilt as perfect soldiers. Many cadets will undergo mental reconstruction that erases memories of their past lives. Once their basic training and mental reconstruction is complete, cadets undergo the Trials of Compliance. This is a test of diverse nature that test how cadets can process commands, regardless of how dangerous, inhumane, or complex they may be. Only those who pass the trials may become Tempestus Scions.[1]
Once they have been deployed to the field, Scions typically use the Ryza-pattern Hotshot Lasgun and Hotshot Volley Gun. They frequently operate from Taurox Prime armored vehicles and Valkyrie aircraft.[1a]
