Managed to get an Armourcast Eldar Tempest grav tank through a trade but I cant find any game stats for it anywhere, can someone help me out?
Cheers, Mick

I'd say proxy as a Scorpion Super Heavy, though I'm not sure that the physical model is big enough. Failing that, I'd say make a data sheet for Apocalypse.

Bell of Lost Souls made a data-fax for the Tempest. Check their website.


btw to Bell of Lost Souls: great job on the data-faxes

I've got one of them as well, and I just use it as a Scorpion for apoc games.

I've got an old 3rd ed datasheet for it somewhere, and will eventually get around to 5th ed-ing it up or doing a proper apoc sheet for it (using ALL of its guns).

To my knowledge there is no BoLS datasheet for a Tempest.

Just use the Scorpion rules. It is all but identicle.

The hull gunports are now just vanes for the holofield or some such, the stock Tempest has a twin linked pular and a twin linked shuirken cannon. as the secondary mount looks rather poor and chunky anyway it is no great loss to replace it.

I am replacing mine with a bubble canopy, once I find a transparent bottle top the right size. The secondary weapon can go underneath, like with all the others.

I like my Tempest, it is far stockier than a Scorpion, which makes it a far more practical model. Scorpions take up far too much room, get in the way of terrain and your opponent cannot scatter a shot off one without rolling a bucket of sixes.

The Tempest appears small but its clearly a super heavy, its footprint is only slightly less than a Baneblade. It looks small because its low to the ground. Once you put it on a short flying base - you will need to rig one up, and also plate over the underside - then it looks as impressive as it ought to be.

Cheers everyone, will use as a Scorpion, for now...
