...Considering Inquisitors can call down Exterminatus on any planet anywhere in the Galaxy at any time, Comandeer whole fleets for their needs, and take control of even a Space Marine Chapter if need be, then I don't see why they couldn't take up a Regiment for their needs. In fact there are recorded cases of this.

Just one question...

Would your Inquisitor be named Angelina Jolinatia or somesuch?

Emperors Faithful wrote:Angelina whata?

The regiment is called the Ferosian Tomb Raiders. Naturally, their Inquisitor would be Angelina Jolinatia (A joke about Angelina Jolie/AKA Laura Croft )

On that note, don't forget to spend extra time sculpting the bewbies. They'll work well for distracting those opponents more on the nocturnal cave-dweller side of the human evolutionary scale, thus giving you the upper hand!

You mean the fact that they're Necrons and they want to extinguish all life and feed the life energy of every living being to the C'Tan isn't enough motivation?

Yea but that's why she's got a Regiment of worthless meatshields at her disposal. I think that Galaxy-wide Extinction and Genocide is inclination enough for an Inquisitor with a Regiment to go around pew-pew-ing Necron Tombs and then studying both the tombs and their inhabitants after the battle is over.

Now you're thinking like an Inquisitor and/or Generic Lord Commander

Liking the fluffbits. Though I still think the name should be closer, for more epic facepalming results from opponents. Something like "Liara Croft" would register quite quick and generate a good laugh IMHO.

Other than that, I really like the start of it, and how she's kind of clueless as to the Necron presence, and then suddently they open up a can of 'HOLY FETHING S**T!' on her when she gets to Feros(ia(n))

For the model, might I suggest giving her two Laspistols/Autopistols/Boltpistols and dressing her in some Camo pants and a Tank top or T-shirt, and then just giving her like a big "=I=" pendant or something? Would give her the more utilitarian, tomb raiding, "progress over perfection" look you seem to be thinking of. Plus, going down that road will give you a lot of options for female minis from non-GW lines that you can use. Because most of the female minis that GW puts out make Ogryns look attractive O.o

And Deathbot, it's because they're Inquisitors, and all Eldar base are belong to them

It's like aiming at the guy with a supersoaker in a gunfight when there are people with AK-47's and Uzi's firing at you.

Exactly! It's not that the Imperium -needs- to constantly attack the Eldar, they just do it because it's fun. It's like trying to score another goal when there's 2 minutes left in the game and you're winning by 5 points. It's completely unneccessary, it's a dick move, and it's totally unfair, but damn does it feel good

EDIT: That, and the Eldar have Eldrad. And he's just a Dick.

Like I said, unnecessary, unfair, and a dick move. Probably a waste of resources too. But that doesn't make it any less fun. Think of it as chasing a kitty around yelling "KITTYKITTYKITTYKITTYKITTY!" with your arms outstretched trying to grab it while there's a slobbering angry Rottie after you. Sure, you could stop to punch the Rottie in the nose, or jam your arm in there and flip it over, but after it took off, the kitty would be gone, and then you'd be bored again :(

Well that depends on how fast the Kitty is running, as opposed to how fast the Rottie is running. See, if I was a kitty being chased by a hostile Rottie and, say, an average 165-180lb guy, I'd be booking it like high Hell. So that guy would have to be running as fast as that kitten. Now, that kitty is going to have far more energy and speed being that it weighs e 1/15 of either of them. Now, that Rottie on the other hand could be potentially quite fat. So while it would be slow getting to you, it'd hurt when it got there (Orks, Nids, Crons for example). There's a chance you could beat it, but there's an even better chance it's just going to bowl you over and royally f**k your day

But so long as you're chasing that kitty as fast as it can run away, you should be fine.


... ...What were we talking about again? Man... I really want to chase my kitty around my house now

EDIT: Wow! I really like the mini. Still needs some GRIMDARKIFICATION to make it distinctly 40K, but the base mini itself looks great. I really don't think the face is that bad to be honest. The thing with faces is that even just moving the position of the eyes can do wonders. I thought the new Cadian Medic face would terrible, but after I painted it and positioned the eyes differently from the E'M paintjob, it looked a LOT better.

I do think you should give her a Flak Jacket or something. Right now she just doesn't look very combat ready.

Yep. MechCav or AirCav are your friends with IG. Make sure you stock up on either Tanks, or Valks and Vends. Should have enough for the vast majority of your army to ride in.

Or they could just be efficient and orbitally bonbaonbardle the piss out of the enemy and just shrug at the loss of a few thousand Guardsmen

It's a game called "Aeronautica Imperialis". It's officially done at the 40K scale. It's fun, but it's expensive as all Feth on account of most of the aircraft only being available through Forgeworld.

They'd still capture it, it would just be a smouldering PoS Besides, after months of sustained Trench Warfare, which seems to be a Guard favorite, I doubt the battle would make it much better in the end.

And yea the one thing about Armoured is, you get more bang for your buck. Definately better if you're planning on Mechanizing a whole force to go with ArmMech. Having a couple air units for support wouldn't hurt (And I imagine they'd catch some conflict with Necrons on the surface, so some AirCav helps) but for general A->B, you'll want a good supply of Chimeras with Russ support
