Actually I can think of a reason for that. Due to the scarcity of resources (bolts don't come cheap you know, and a lot of soldier need supplying), and the sheer multitude of xenos, heretics, whatever, it is more prudent to engage the enemy in H2H combat in order to compensate for this. That, and most of the enemies are Melee oriented anyway. Automatically Appended Next Post: gh05tdemon wrote:Only in 40k are all the inquisitors either possessed evil or total ****s .

They leave that to the commisars, generally. The real-world counterpart political officers had the right to execute you for cowardice, or just about anything else..

"If you really want to know what it was like, to fight in the air in the great War, then go up to someone you have never met and who has never done you the slightest harm and pour a two-gallon tin of petrol over them. Then apply a match, and when they are nicely ablaze, push them from a fifteenth-floor window after first perhaps shooting them a few times in the back with a revolver. And be aware as you are doing these things that ten seconds later someone else will quite probably do them to you. This will exactly reproduce... the substance of First World War aerial combat and will cost your country nothing. It will also avoid the necessity of ten million other people to die in order for you to enjoy it."
