I'm thinking of using the Ghanathaar in a future mission, as the setting of Jove's descent sounds pretty cool, and I know they pop up in Rising Tempest. Are they statted? If so, is there more than one type of them, like a troop and an Elite or something? Is enough information given to make new Ghanathaar units based off of Rising Tempest's material?

Ghanathaar do have stats, but most of their shtick is based on their Psychic Abilities and their Warp-fueled weirdness. Think of them being a little like Enslavers, only sturdier…and actually quite a bit creepier. Rising Tempest plays on the assumption that the Ghanathaar are defeated, so there really isn't a whole lot to them (just one type). They are a dangerous foe, but I see them as "specialized" Elites. Without very specific encounter planning they pose very little threat to Space Marines other than pumping them full of Corruption Points, causing Cohesion Damage, and maybe making a few of them shoot each other. If you're interested in Rising Tempest solely for the Ghanathaar stuff I recommend you not make that purchase. You'd more than likely be disappointed. You'd be better off modifying a Minor Daemon and renaming it. And, fluff-wise, Ghanathaar are very anti-social when it comes to cooperating with other races…(ironically) they're xenophobic, they're mad (both angry and insane) and they want their realms/kingdom/little slice of space back, and they're not interesting in sharing the spoils.

I used Rising Tempest (Part I) as an interlude within my own campaign story arc. The Kill-Team now know of the Ghanathaar, but have not encountered any and have no experience confronting them. I'll save them for…later.

Hope this helps.

I intended on getting Rising Tempest eventually at any rate, I just wanted to know if I could use them for another scenario I was planning. Sounds like it might work, actually. It's a situation in which the Ghanathaar could pick their fights and therefore pose a threat.
