Finally, following the release of Codex: Adepta Sororitas earlier this month, we are very excited to announce the next digital exclusive codex.
(drumroll……..)

This November, you will be able to download the brand new Codex: Inquisition.

A full codex, packed with background and artwork on the forces of the Imperium’s most secretive and powerful organization. You’ll soon be able to field an Inquisitor and their retinue in any Imperial army in games of Warhammer 40,000.

We’ll be releasing more details on this book through our Facebook page as the date approaches, so make sure you’re signed up to follow us.
In fact, once we reach 5,000 likes, we’re going to reveal the full cover of the book (so get your friends to sign up to if you want to see it) Here’s a little snippet.

Didn't see that coming!

Nobody ever does...

Definitely interesting.

Seems to kind of be like a supplement with a fair bit more substance, or am I misreading that?

I'd say your spot on, looks like it can supplement any Imperial army. Not sure if it will also be standalone.

From Faeit earlier:

The Question to Forgeworld
I had a question concerning the newly released PDF for "SPACE MARINE CHAPTER TACTICS FOR SIXTH EDITION WARHAMMER 40,000".

For the section that addresses the Red Hunters on the that states the following:
"By this Seal: When using the Allies Matrix, all models in
the Red Hunters detachment count units from Codex: Grey
Knights and Sisters of Battle as Battle Brothers so long as an
Inquisitor is also present in the allied detachment."

Sisters of Battle (now known as Adeptus Sororitas as in the new codex release) no longer have an inquisitor in their codex and haven't since they were part of the Witch Hunters codex. Can you please clarify how a sisters of battle/adeptus sororitas is suppose to be able to take the Red Hunters as allies if they cannot take an inquisitor in their army list?

The Response via Forge World
Thank you for your email. The Chapter Tactics update is fully up to date with the current codex's and is in fact future proofed. All we can say is that it is correct and the Red Hunters Chapter Tactics will make sense at a later date.

**Azreal13**

Yep , could be interesting, quite exciting actually, and would be an interesting modelling project.

My only reservation is the bit about "inquisitor and his retinue in any Imperial army" which kinda implies that it won't be a stand alone list. Not a big deal though, probably fluffier that way.

**Kanluwen**

I don't think it will be standalone.

The way it reads suggests it is purely a supplement, talking about how you can field "an Inquisitor and their retinue in any Imperial army".

**pretre**

I like how this is out of nowhere. No one had this one predicted. Digital Releases, not only keeping things under wraps but also previewing. GW, take note!

**Nafarious**

Hmm that might be interesting indeed. Maybe I will start an inquisition army with completely non-gw models. I have been waiting for an excuse.

**FarseerAndyMan**

Im glad i hung on to my Inquisitor models...making an allied detachment for my I.G. could now be realistic...

Except that it sounds like (from little we know) that it is an add-on to an existing. So you could make an inquisition ally with completely non-gw models.

**Fafnir**

Would have totally bought this if it was a standalone boxed game, as was rumoured earlier. But this isn't worth getting back into 40k for.

I don't think that rumor had anything to do with this. It was really specific and, apparently, completely off base. Unless they plan on getting a boxed game out to go with a supplement, which is really unlikely.

Oh, I'm aware, but I've got 5K or so of Marines to add on to!

**squall018**

Yeah, this is probably where the whole Inquistor box game rumor came from. Oh well. Boxed game would have been cool. This is neat I guess, but just another book to buy with probably not alot of new rules.

**pretre**

Depending on what they do for rules, the DF troopers may be pretty awesome for Storm Troopers. Also, RH, if they ever actually happen.

Aaaannyways. I'm guessing we'll get Inquisitors as Battle Brothers for all Imperial Factions. With a selection of units (Inquisitor, Inq Lord, Henchmen Squad) that you can slap in.

**Jefffar**

I am not surprised, given how Grey Knights are being treated as a Space Marine army in a lot of ways now. I expect when we see the GK codex the Inquisitors, Henchmen and Assassains will be stripped out and the focus will be on the Knights themselves.

I guess this is the flip side of removing the Templars as a more or less Independant codex.

It does make me wonder what will happen with Wolves and Blood Angels. Will they turn be independant Imperium Codexes or are they joining the Black Templars as an add on to Space Marines. Right now I say they will stay Independant, but I could see GW making a mint off of having 1 SM codex and then a supplement aimed at each of the most famous chapters.

**derek**

Could we finally see some real background on the Ordo Xenos (that isn't just rehashed stuff on the Deathwatch)? Because I've been waiting for that since way back in 3rd edition when they cancelled the last Codex in the Inquisition Trilogy.

I'm okay with this. Heck, GK would be a supplement as well.

**Jefffar**

Derek.

That would indeed be cool to see. Though since this will likely seperate the Inquisition and the GK I don't think that the Deathwatch will be here. We might see a future supplement though.

**Hulksmash**

From the way the Chapter Tactic reads I'd say it's more likely the book is just basically new units (i.e. HQ or Elite or Whatever) that take that spot in an Imperial Codexes force org. Otherwise you still wouldn't be able to allie in Sisters with your Red Hunters since the allied slot would be the Inquisitors in the first place.

That said i'm actually kinda pumped about this. My hope is Inquisitors and retinues and a few new units. Not many, like an HQ Inquisitor and a single elite, single FA, and single HS units. Either way this sounds hella cool but I'm trying to temper my excitement based on previous supplements.

Granted this sounds like something completely different from the current supplements. Or it could be similar to the Tau book which actually gave us a few characters and that might be it.

Still, super cool.

**Godless-Mimicry**

So I guess this is what the Inq28 rumours actually were caused by?

**Oaka**

Perhaps they'll allow some of the more radical inquisitors to ally with xenos armies?

Actually, good call. I forgot about that. So probably slot them into your existing army. Hmm. That might not be bad.
Take an Inqusitor, Assassin, Henchmen. Cheap scoring for everyone.

**Grinshanks**

To be fair to GW the are advertising it as a FULL codex and, to date, have always made a distinction between when announcing a codex and a supplement.

They are also saying it is the second digital exclusive codex. So I'm expecting something similar to the Adepta Sororitas in regards to the amount of content (units and fluffwise).

Just my two cents.

**pretre**

That would be huge (if they copy AS) since they had pretty much a 50% of a codex worth of content.

**Hulksmash**

It's starting to feel like 3rd Edition again. But better because it's all available online and I don't have to find a white dwarf. 6th edition 40k is probably the most excited I've been about 40k (excluding prices) since I was in Highschool (over a decade ago).

**Lord Solaar**

Wait a second, anyone read this:
http://natfka.blogspot.com/2013/10/revealing-future-of-40k-inquisition.html#more

What if this isn't allies, but something that can be included in any imperial army in the primary detactment?

*edit* yea nevermind someone beat me too it as I was typing lol

**Squidbot**

nobody expects the Inquisition!
