Editing Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Militarum Tempestus(7E) (section)

===Melee Weapons===
Please just skip this section. Yes, your Tempestor has decent melee stats. But like Dark Eldar, your melee trappings are not nearly as important as your shooting power. Unlike the standard Guardsmen who can combine these with weight of numbers, your tiny MSU army of Scions don't have that kind of staying power so the Assault phase is usually not recommended. Still, if you think it's worth it, take a look.
*'''Power Weapons:''' Comes in standard Sword, Maul, Axe and Lance forms. Honestly, if you're looking here, you should probably grab an axe. At I3, you're probably striking last already (Except against Tau, Non-Mark of Slaanesh Cultists, Imperial Guard or Sisters of Battle) and having S4 and AP2 will serve you well. Power Mauls on Tempestor Primes work decently for finishing off a tank if the Meltas can't get it--but then, a Plasma Pistol for the same cost may serve you better.
*'''Power Fist:''' 25 points. Skip the fuck out of this, you can afford a full Plasma Gun and Melta Gun instead.
