m planning to start playing inquisitor (Inspired by kaled) and im getting familiar with the rules although i have a few begginner questions

is it good to invest on both 54mm and 28mm inquisitor? i mean like ill play inquisitor in both sizes

how do i get my FLGS to play it(where im from the only dedicated players are in a GS and most of the guys there have a alot of hobbies to play,too lazy to start a new game and learn the rules or just dont actually play skirmish sized games)

Glad to hear I've inspired someone to take up the game! There are advantages and disadvantages to both scales - but personally I have no desire to play at the smaller scale. The larger models offer a huge scope for painting and converting, and even if you don't want to do much conversion work, the range of 54mm models available is so big that there should be no difficulty in creating interesting and original characters. There's no problems finding terrain that works at the larger scale - in fact most 28mm terrain works perfectly. 54mm does have a huge advantage over 28mm, especially when starting out, in that the range of readily available models encourages players to take characters that fit into the spirit and ethos of the game. Inquisitor is designed to depict the shadowy battle for the Emperor's soul, but if you play at 28mm people will be tempted to just pick a few models from their 40k army and call them a warband - which is really not what the game is about.

The best thing to do would be to build a few models, take them down to the store and see if you can persuade one person to play (or better yet, go down with a friend and start playing) - I'm sure people will start to take interest when they see what you're doing, and you can invite them to join in. This is another regard in which 54mm is a far better option as the larger models attract a huge amount of interest as they're so different to what people normally see. If you have a few models, people can play the game without having to invest time or money trying it out - and if you do your job right they'll be intrigued enough to invest in a warband of their own. The trick is to make sure people understand that Inquisitor is not just '40k Skirmish', it's very different to straight wargames like 40k and, although its narrative approach isn't for everyone, those people who like it tend to really end up loving it.

thanks alot kaled! infact ive already built a model a long time ago(when i started to take interest in INquisitor) im not sure its the right scale (its around 52-54mm scale)

i was thinking about Inq28 since i want to start playing the game already at my home and i want to get to learn more of the game first since i dont have a 4x4 table and i hear INQ28 only needs like a 2x2 table or a coffe table or something.



thanks alot kaled

Yeah, you can play a good sized game of Inq28 on a 2'x2' table - but you can play a game at 54mm on a table not much larger...

What's the model you built a while ago?
