"Militarum Tempestus"

With the Storm Troopers being rebranded, what should be done here? My initial thoughts were to redirect Militarum Tempestus here and just have some little note about how "Militarum Tempestus" is the High Gothic name of their organisation. Wargameruk 12:42, 4 April 2014 (CEST)

I haven't seen the codex, but if Militarum Tempestus is the "official" name for all the Schola Progenium troops, then the page should be moved to that title (the same would apply with Astra Militarum, the most recent WD weekly states that Imperial Guard is the nickname the actual troops have given to the Astra Militarum so that's going to need to be reflected when the new codex is out).

I have amalgamated this page with the Tempestus Scions page moving all information over to the latter. There may still be some issues with links directing to storm troopers that I have not found yet. SmoothBoy 20:22, 21 August 2014 (GMT)

Regimental Organization

The 5th Edition Codex clearly states that Stormies belong to a specific Storm Trooper regiment, and are allocated to other regiments on a company-sized basis. They do not belong to regular Guard regiments. Page 46, paragraph 3. The latest codex is regarded as more recent canon, so takes precedence over 4th ed info on Stormies. --Rye 02:01, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Weapons

Hellguns aren't part of the IG armoury in 5th edition. How would one go about summarizing the Stormies' equipment now?--Rye 04:03, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Could we get a note about how hellguns are still used by Inquisition Storm Troopers whereas the Guard ones use Hotshot Lasguns instead, or would this be unesesarry on the point that the Daemonhunters and Witch Hunters Codexes are obsolete in the case of some unit entries?Wyrmalla 18:30, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Page 138 of DH Ascension says hellgun are also referred as hot-shots. Just like how bolter are also know as bolt guns.The N 19:54, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
