Now my guesses...

1 = No real idea, going to guess some kind of bubble effect for Leadership to represent the units trusting his/her wisdom.
2 = Reserve Roll Modifications or some kind of reroll.
3 = Better use of Orbital Bombardment ability if this Inquisitors come with that. Or perhaps a free Flamer attack?
4 = Preferred Enemy USR for a Xeno type of your choice.
5 = Personal Rerolls or Mastercrafting for attack/defense
6 = Hatred USR

Boob window . Boob window on an official artwork, for an Inquisitor . Really, GW, have you fallen this low ?

Why have Sisters as troops in the Inquisition codex when the Inquisition codex is meant to ally to the Sisters, and can ally them in anyway? Seems a bit redundant.

Because else, you can't have Sisters and Marines and an Inquisitor in the same army. Except if the Inquisitor can be taken as an HQ in a AS detachment, but it's basically the same mechanics as allowing Sisters as troops in an Inquisition detachment.

Exactly my thoughts, that picture is really quite horrid :(

I really like that pic - but different strokes

Yeah, that's a little odd for a xeno hunter to be wearing.

GW also released a female Commissar with cleavage armour, once. They're hit and miss in terms of clothing for female characters, at times.

My thinking is that either FW or the Digital Editions people miscommunicated in terms of how this will work, and gave us the wrong impression. It just seems odd to shove the Sisters in the Inquisition codex when they have their own codex. Especially when the Inquisition codex is meant to be an allies codex.

Well at least she can see where she is going unlike her male friend

Plus a lot of Inquisitors have force fields so they can wear what they like.

Lastly it looks to me like it may be reused FFG artowrk?

Maybe they will go back to to you can take X units from the following Codexes?

I don't really think it's odd for an Inquisitor to wear, they can really wear whatever they please if they want so long as they take a forcefield like they usually do.

She likely wears it to "negotiate" things better when dealing with men (and some women). If their too distracted by cleavage then they won't argue as much.

That's a huge part of the problem. The fact GW decided to show an Inquisitor who likes to wear a boob-hole. Especially when preparing for a fight (or else, why is she clutching that chainsword so tight ?

As for ClockworkZion, I'm pretty a boob-window is not the right way to impress and scare people. If you are reminding those Guards of the women they meet in brothels, that's not quite like to make them feel like you are their superior and they have to respect and obey you. Not only it doesn't make any sense, but I find even the idea of boob window to “make negotiations easier” slightly offensive, actually.

The really old school ones prefer skin-tight power armour under their Force Field, Conversion Field, Stasis Field and Refractor Field

And of course, a long-coat to finish it off with style!

I think it only looks like boob window because of the cape actually.

They don't need to dress to Impress, the mark of the inquisition pretty much says "If you don't respect this person and obey them, expect to die alongside your family."

And Zwei's post shows that they dress Eccentrically as well.

IIRC there have been some Inquisitors who dress to impress in the past, and others who dress to keep a low profile. It all comes down to the individual and what their personality type and method of operation is I suppose.

I have been slow growing an Inquisition force through my GK.

Please let the assassins be cheaper in cost and more reliable/killy. As they stand, only the Vindicare is worth a damn with the others showing up and getting shot to crap before anything happens.

I already have an Inquisitorial LRC, Inquisitorial Vendetta (Sisters of Battle Gunner!) and the bits to make an Inquisitorial Rhino. I also have Hektor Rex, Solomon Lok, Karamazov, Coteaz, and 3 other models that are counts-as Inquisitors.

My army is ready.

I wonder if we'll get normal Inquisitors, not just Inquisitor Lords, like we did in the Daemon/Witch Hunters in 3ed. That was a ton of fun.
0-3 elite choice or something, maybe even an upgrade for the standard retinue...

Non-Lord Inquisitors would be a nice touch.

I am still hoping (vainly) for BL characters to appear in it.

She's wearing her standard issue inquisitorial corset. The artwork is from Dark Heresy. I remember the guy with the hair on his face.

Ah, it's DH. Well I suppose it can be somewhat excused, then.

And if the forcefield fails? I'd certainly prefer a all-armoured torso in that situation, myself.

The Emperor Protects!!!!!

Im pretty sure it will work like this:

codex inquisitors comes out,

there will be rules for using it as a stand alone allies list, and rules for it adding on to a sisters/gk list, and then allying that sisters/gk list with something else (a la red hunters)


I really hope it buffs assassins, as they are soo cool, yet soooo under powered/over costed.

I started and inquisition force wayyyy back when, will be glad to have it back soon. what a nice treat to look forward to in november

I'm not seeing what's so horrifying about that artwork; she's wearing a dress, not "boob armour", she's not in some cheesecake broken-spine-thrusting-arse-out-90-degrees comicbook pose. Are female characters only allowed to be depicted as musclebound tomboys that wear massive armour in combat and baggy casual clothes out of it now?

Pretty much this.
- (Small) independent army, excellent as an ally, but functioning even as a primary detachment
- Rules/options to integrate in imperial army (be it SM, IG, GK or AS) in a single detachment...

While waiting... Three assassins painted (culexus,eversor, vindicare) two basecoated (callidus, second vindicare)... Ok, it's kinda the second week they are waiting just basecoated, but rl has its priorities -.-

I am still hoping we get to have inquisitors slot into the HQ slots of other armies.

Not so much a fan of the new style of artwork, I know FFG uses similar stuff, but it feels a bit generic to me, not as cool as stuff done by Adrian Smith, Karl Kopinski, John Blanche and others.

Maybe I'm just old fashioned...

It IS from the FFG.

Nobody said that. Speaking for myself, my issue with it was that an exposed torso is not a great idea for going into combat. Especially against nefarious, tricky xenos.

Xenos - they dont find humans attractive, so you could go dressed like that.
Deamons - they are trying to posses and/or take your soul, dressing doesnt matter
Heretics - they are into Daemonettes so humans dont count, dress whatever you want because you still have "only" two of them comparing to Slaneshy girls.

And as someone before me mentioned they have some very useful arcane protection.

Edit: Loyal citizen- I would really like to someone drooling over female or male Inquisitor.
