Changes

Tempestus Scions are the elite fighting force of the [[Ordo Tempestus]], a quasi-independent agency within the [[Administratum]] that also includes [[Commissars]].{{Fn|1e}} By virtue of its members having been recruited from the [[Progena]] of the [[Schola Progenium]], their [[Regiment]]s are made up of soldiers from worlds throughout the Imperium. {{Fn|1c}} {{CMS}}While individual Regiments are routinely deployed for independent actions, it is also common practice for individual companies or battalions to be sent to war zones and from there have individual Scion squads join [[Imperial Guard Regiment]]s as required.{{Fn|1cCME}}

Although comparable to Scions, Grenadiers are fully part of their regiment, having been recruited into the regiment at the time of its creation along with the rest of the Guardsmen. Those individuals who prove themselves to be superior soldiers are given special training and equipment that can be equal to a Scion and formed into their own squads. Unlike Scions though, Grenadiers do not deep-strike or infiltrate, instead fighting alongside their fellow Guardsmen.{{Fn|5b}} Grenadiers often make up part of the ranks of the more elite and shock oriented regiments, most notably the [[Death Korps of Krieg]].{{Fn|5f}} {{CMS}} These guardsmen are highly respected by their regiments and are often sent to where the fighting is at its thickest.{{Cite thisCME}}

===Steel Legion Storm Troopers{{Fn|5c}}===Much like the Death Korps Grenadiers, the Storm Troopers of the [[Armageddon Steel Legion]] are fully part of their own regiment and homeworld. {{Fn|5c}} The only noticeable difference is that they are instead split into '''"Divisions"''', this allows them to assist different companies of regular guardsmen during high-risk missions or on important campaigns. '''Steel Legion Storm Troopers''' pride themselves on being their regiment's finest soldiers, and whilst distant from regular guardsmen, they are still shown a great deal of respect within the Legion, whose rank and file members rightly consider them to be the "best of the best". Steel Legion Storm Troopers are armed with powerful Hellguns that are attached to notably heavy, thrumming power generators. They are also known to wear the Legion's iconic re-breather masks and don thick, ochre coloured trench-coats over their Carapace Armour.{{Fn|22}}
