I don't think GWS has the ability to either grant or revoke your ability to maintain a single printed copy of your digital media since format shifting is a recognized fair use.

All the little Timmy's I know are better with computers than 95% of the people over 30. Pretty sure this format is better for little Timmy than old grognards like most of us.

Exactly. A single copy is legit period. Which is probably why it's in the actual purchase ToA.

Didn't they just get a new Codex? In print? And a Limited Edition? And a bunch new models?

A few Inquisitor models have actually vanished, in fact. At least from the UK site.

New, or at least updated, models would be nice. Wouldn't get your hopes up, though.


Ya hopefully it will have all three ordos in there. If I really wanted to get my hopes up I'd wish for deathwatch rules.

Look at the latest Apocalypse book. There's Deathwatch rules in there.

Furthermore, my prediction based on absolutely no evidence whatsoever is that the Sisters will get a full Codex, incorporating to core Order forces, and Ecclesiarchy support (Arco-flagellants, Penitent Engines, priests, and so forth) with undoubtedly a few new units.
The =][= on the other hand will become a Supplement for all Imperial armies. Therefore granting the three Ordos Majoris, with their own little gimmicks, Assassin operatives, Orbital Strikes, Special Characters, and some interesting thematic units. Some simple special rules keeps all parties happy- I get my Witch Hunters, purists get SoB Codex.

Hmm...

A Codex: Inquisition you say?

Looking over past digital supplements, I think we're looking at two units (Inquisitors + Henchmen), a Warlord Trait Table, some scenarios, and pages and pages and pages of fluff. No real army in there.

The Damnos version. Hopefully they'll have DW that would be awesome
Damnos apparently has a datasheet for a Deathwatch strike force made from two kill-teams. No Inquisitor, though.
The necessary models (2 Marine squads and the Ordo Xenos pauldrons + boltguns with M44 targeter and fire selector) are being sold on the GW website as a one-click bundle: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod2160206a

It'd certainly be cool if the supplement would have an option for the classic Kill-team with an Inquisitor or Deathwatch Captain leading a single squad of Deathwatch Marines.

Regardless of whether the supplement works by placing the Inquisitor as an Allied Detachment, or as additional HQ choices, I don't see the problem. What armies aside from those that can already be fielded with current codices would you have looked at? Even assuming that it won't have its own rules for ISTs and DW Marines (which I hope it will), I'm sure you can easily pair the supplement with C:SM or C:IG for a similar effect.

Yeah, I have the Deathwatch book! I really only bought it for the pictures and fluff. I tried running the game with a few of my friends and it was really complicated, so I gave up. I don't really have the time to invest or enough relevant experience to get that working. I'd love to play in someone else's campaign at some point.

To be fair, they never actually said it was an army. The BL blog post is quite upfront about it only letting you take an Inquisitor and their retinue in an Imperial army.

This is a complete surprise for me, I thought that Codex: GK had killed off the Inquisition completely. I think it is great news, I wanted some Inqisition allies for my IG before GK came along and made them an elite choice in a space marine codex.

I don't even care if they don't get new models, I think the old ones are very cool. I even have a Kindle, but I wonder how the codex will look in black and white.

And we need a whole bloody supplement for that?

Once upon a time an Inquisitorial Retinue would have been an article in WD and then a free PDF on the website a few months later. In fact... it was an article in WD.

What's next? A full priced supplement for a revamped Imperial Guard High Command?



Anyway, ranting aside, I kinda want an Inquisitorial army. Back in the day I had a combined DH/WH army with nary a GK or SoB in sight. Easily one of the most fun armies I ever played (even if it was terrible on the table).

I have to admit, if it's really just the units from codex:GK, I already own codex:GK so I'm definitely just homebrewing that, there's no way I'm buying it as a separate book.

I expect the core of the book will be built around the inquisitors/henchmen in the GK book; Ward-Hate aside, it was well-written rules wise and very modular; you could do almost anything with it. Throw in a few more options related to models available to other Imperial armies with some special rules (Deathwatch, Inquisitorial Stormtroopers, etc) and you're good to go with some background fluff.

Given the subject, I don't expect this to be as a fluff-centric as the supplements; note they're not calling this a supplement themselves, and nomenclature is important for GW. I expect it to have a lot more rules than existent supplements; probably not as many as I'd like due to the restriction every entry must have a model, but how much more do they need to add to the GK mechanic to make it fun and worthwhile? Modernize the rules a little bit, add a little more flair to the henchmen retinues, give some special rules based on ordos and boom, product completed.

Therefore, I conclude, Valve should announce Half Life 2: Episode 3.

Except that it's not a supplement. It's a codex. They advertise supplements as supplements. They advertised the SOB digital release as a codex. So if we're looking over past digital only "codexes" we are looking at the sisters book, not the supplements. Which could mean an actual fieldable army. My guess is actually something similar to the previous DH or WH books as far as being able to be taken in imperial lists or incorporating them into a C:I list. Possibly with the only troop choice being Storm Troopers.

Just some random thoughts but I think it's more than a 1pg set of rules.

'supliment' is generally used to mean 'suppliments to codexes', not 'suppliments to the warhammer 40,000 rulebook'.

The plural of codex is codexes.
