Hello,

I'm just coming back to the Hobby for the first time since playing in 4th edition where I played Daemonhunters.

They seem to have gone now, but looking at the rules I believe I can field some Inquisitors to lead my Battleline Units if I play Imperium, so probably going to do Marines as I did Grey Knights before.

I've decided I want to create a Space Marine custom chapter as a successor chapter of the Red Hunters, but likely using a Yellow paint scheme.

Do any of you have any suggestions on some cool models or kits that come with cool Inquisition themed things that I could use to make them more unique, but that are on a Primaris scale? I really like the bigger models.

I'm planning at the moment on kit bashing some Grey Knights, Sword Brethren, a Leviathan Lieutenant and Castellan Crowe (who I think is the only big Grey Knight?) to create my Chapter Master, a Captain and two Lieutenants.

Specifically I'm looking for some good suggestions for Inquisitors if anybody has them. I hate the model with the inferno pistol and would really rather not use it. Back in the day there were some cool ones with big swords in metal but they all seem to have gone. I want the army to be as WYSIWYG as possible so that I can go to Tournaments again so I can't do anything like converting actual Marines as Inquisitors only have 4+ saves. I was thinking maybe using some Kaskrin as the base with Sisters of Battle backpacks, or maybe Female Inquisitors and using converted Sisters for them?

I got rid of all my old models and it seems all the metal stuff is gone never to return, so please let me know if you have any hidden gems or suggestions and I'll check them out. I'm also presuming "Force/Power Weapon" and "Close Combat Weapon" are deliberately left ambiguous so I can use anything that isn't a specific thing like a Power Fist/Thunder Hammer/Lightning Claw and it'll still be fine presuming I paint the blades differently?

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

There's always the Deathwatch upgrades, though rumor has it this summer the Inquisition is going to get a major focus and a new set of upgrade sprues feels plausible. There's a lot of good 3D print stuff out there though if you just want to go that route.

(who I think is the only big Grey Knight?)

Yes. Potentialy next edition GK could get a model line update, and then there could be more up sized models, but I doubt you want to wait for 3+ years to start building and painting stuff.

You could use GK weapons on primaris bodies they do not scale bad. If you like the esthetics of the shoulder pads/helmets etc you could add those too. The GK terminator pads should fit aggresors.

W. Artel and Wargames exclusive have a fair number of good looking Inquisition models, but I'm not sure about the scale creep, because 40k models started to get bigger in 8th, and I'm not sure that the competition has kept up.

Has everything gotten bigger or just the roided out primaris?

Wait, Castellan Crowe got Primarisised?

New Termies are bigger that old; Newcromunda is bigger than Necromunda 1. Plastic Sisters are bigger than metal.

Greyfax, Draxus and Cartovolnus seem to be pretty big, but I haven't side by sided them with other models yet. There's a rumour about a new Coteaz coming, and if they ever do make an Eisenhorn series, you know we'll get him in plastic too (and probably a McFarlane or Joy Toy sculpt too).

Coteaz would be good for you because he's Malleus and wearing bulky power armour. It might be a bit of a wait.

It is also an unconfirmed rumour at this point, though Valrak is usually pretty reliable.

the eldar weapon one that shots indirects and double taps with custodes guard is a gigant next to a GK, and Greyfax is taller then a GK termintor. Including the newest Valdus one from the same triumvirates sets as her. All the 8th and later updated models are gigantic comparing to older models. Cadians and plastic SoB make old metal marines looks like children.

One/two of my favorite Inquisitors is the "Big Hair" female Inquisitor that released alongside the 3rd ed Witch Hunters codex (I think). She had at least two versions, one with a crossbow and one with an inferno pistol. You can isually find one o ebay. Great models.

I have the Inferno pistol version- giving me a total of 4 Hereticus Inquisitors- Greyfax, Karamazov, the Lady in Question, and a Puritan with plasma pistol in his left hand and elegant, pointing powerfist for his right- he's the only painted one, and Karamazov isn't even fully assembled because I'm painting sub assemblies. They'll be coming soon though.
