Whoo! This is actually amazing news! Finally I can have inquisitors without those bloody Grey Knights! I hope Inquisitors can now get an invulnerable save too. I'm really exited, they better not feth this up.

**katfude**

Yay, let's poop on Codex: Grey Knights some more. Here, everyone, use all of GK's toys against them!

We’ve reached 5,000 likes, and that means we can now reveal the new cover for Codex: Inquisition.
Feast your eyes on this awesome new piece by Marek Okon.

Look how cool this guy is!
He could not be more Warhammer 40,000 if he tried: he’s got the sword, he’s got the boltgun, power armour, purity seals, bionics - the whole package.

We’ll be posting more details on this codex over the coming weeks right here on Facebook so stay posted.

- Eddie

PS: We actually reached 5,000 likes last night at about 23:00, but I was asleep, sorry.
Thanks for waiting!

Would be odd if he wasn't, considering he's based off a Citadel miniature released a decade ago! This totally proves we'll get new minis alongside the codex!

Pretty cringey text. File that alongside the "Why are you even reading this? Go buy it and come back!" gak from the main store page.

**Shandara**

So shiny you're supposed to ignore anything else. Just LOOK at how cool he is.

**Verses**

Eh, I thought it was quite a cool picture, and I've been liking the general style of this whole Digital Editions page.

**Redemption**

3D rendered codex art? That's a first, isn't it? It's cool, but I think I prefer Raymond Swanland's art on the 6E hardcovers so far; the 3D art makes it look more like it's from a video game.

**Bonde**

I think it looks great, and it's a good rendering. IMO it's better than a lot of the other 6th edition codices, but that might be because I simply like the Inquisition more.

**Troike**

Yeah, I think that the artwork's pretty nice. Fits right in with the Inquisition. Seems like they're pretty strong with cover art in general, right now.

Considering this seems focus on groups of models that can be added to any Imperial force, would it be outside of the realm of possibility that this Codex might be released with a few models along with it?

The models already exist.

I was going to get all snarky about the lack of Henchmen unit models but then looked in the Grey Knight army section of the website and saw there was a Box of plastic henchmen that I never realised were there.

What a fool of a took I have been...

I think it's a tongue-in-cheek comment on 40k style - "Look how cool this guy is!

Shame he only has one skull really

Where? I'm not seeing any plastic henchmen boxes.

Also, noticed that the Australian site still has all of the Inquisitors on it. We actually lost quite a few, on the UK site. It'd be nice if this ~~codex~~ supplement brought them back.

Good lord, I'm gullible. Or my sarcasm detector's on the fritz. Anyway, y you do dis

**Squidbot**

You people really will bitch about anything. The community person/people responsible for posting this on the FB page is supposed to try and generate excitement for upcoming products. Chances are all they're allowed to work with right now is that image, so yeah, that's what they focus on.
And it IS a cool picture. The text seems like an excited young player drooling over a new 40K image.
None of us has ever done that, right?

**Vain**

Sorry Troike and Bull0.
That was just some Aussie on Aussie snark that I couldn't resist when HBMC declared that the models all exist.
As your excitement shows there isn't any dedicated and non-converted options for Henchies just yet.
I just thought this would be an awesome time to release them if some had been made (and possibly peeked at)

TL;DR = There aren't any magical plastic henchmen models on the Australian site, well at least not yet.

**angelofvengeance**

I prefer the cover art from the previous codices. 3D rendering is great n all but there's something to be said for the other recent releases.

**Bonde**

Actually if the only thing they do is allow you to take an Inquisitor and some henchmen without having to mention Codex: GK, that is good enough for me!

**Shandara**

And without being forced to take Coteaz just to have them as troops.

An allied inquisitor with henchman (frateris) for my Sisters, please thanks.

**Squidbot**

It would be nice to get a model for Valeria.

**wowsmash**

Eh was cool tell I saw it was digital only. I don't own a tablet and I'm not buying one just for GW over priced idex. Since I csnt drag my pc along with me and all the local shops have a requirement of a physical codex. No copies allowed then it makes no since to buy it.

You're allowed to print a copy out for personal use. If you want it, it's just a matter of converting it to a PDF, maybe doing a bit of reformatting, and printing it. There, physical copy.

Or just accepting books are going that way. You can get a Kobo e-reader for £30.

Anyway, I am so excited about this. Hopefully this is a sign of the future. Perhaps a stealer cult one, maybe minor races or something else if this goes well. All the stuff we saw months ago as a supposed allies supplement.

**Troike**

No. Not everybody wants to spend money on a tablet just for carrying around wargaming rules. It's simple enough to turn them into physical copies if you so desire, and BL allows for allows for this in its terms and conditions. Alternatively, one can be patient and wait for an eventual physical release. Either way, there's no need to buy a tablet for these just because GW likes digital stuff.

**Hulksmash**

I like the art. I'm really excited for this.

Im curious to see if the =I= special characters are in the book too and how close these rules will be to the GK ones

**Squidbot**

Eisenhorn and Ravenor please, k, thanks, bye. (Yeah, I know).
