Thanks, I was getting weird security certificate errors with those other two pictures.

Forget that, guard will be able to fit divination in a primary detachment. Not to mention we will be able to have almost every imperial force represented on the table at one time. Inquisition, Admech, marines, navy and guard.

THAT would look cool.

Same here. Its like it was planned for sisters release before inq release....I'm excited. Burn heritics!

Will Sisters Units be able to get in it though? Even Battle Brothers can't ride in each other transports...

If we can though, well, finally(!) a delivery mechanism for the Repentia!

Well, if they are allies, no. If they allow them to be warlords in the primary detachment somehow yes. Although, we still have no idea how the attachment thing will work. The only thing we're holding onto is the weird way that Red Hunters are worded.

**Hulksmash**

Yeah, if it's just they become your warlord then it's not as cool. But we'll just have to see in less than 2 weeks

**Shandara**

Yay for pre-orders on digital products again.

**Happygrunt**

Here is a crazy thought; There is tons of artwork of inquisitorial Valkyries, so do you think it might be possible for the Inquisition to get Valkyries as dedicated transports or fast attacks?

IF it happens so we might actually see how they will be changed for the rumoured guard codex as well.

Or more likely they'll get the same profile, which will be changed on release of the new guard dex.

It reads like you'll be able to take the INQ ally and make the ally be your warlord... (just in reading the blog)

The rules in this book allow you to add the agents of the Inquisition into any Imperial force (as well as fielding them, begrudgingly, alongside the armies some of the less belligerent alien races), or field them as an army in their own right.

The main focus is very definitely on the individual Inquisitors themselves, with every Inquisitor now having access to a bewildering array of options, wargear and armour, making them one of the most customisable characters in the galaxy (as it should be).

There are also plenty of ways to represent your Inquisitor’s alignment to a particular Ordo, from weapons, unique Inquisitorial relics and three Warlord Traits tables for Xenos, Hereticus and Malleus Inquisitors.

Speaking of Warlords, this codex allows you to have an Inquisitor leading your Imperial forces, even when he isn’t part of your Primary Detachment (would you argue with an Inquisitor about who’s in charge?).

Of course, Inquisitors rarely travel alone. Instead they bring with them experienced warriors and specialists, not to mention their pick of the best transports from across the Imperium.

This is great way to represent your Inquisitor’s own particular field of expertise. Will you have a radical Inquisitor leading ethereal squadrons of Daemonhosts, or an experienced alien hunter with a pack of Jokaero Weaponsmiths in tow? Of course, you’re welcome to mix the two if you like (but we can’t promise that your space-ape and possessed monstrosity will play well together).

You’ll be able to pre-order your codex this Saturday, both as an interactive edition for iBooks, and as an eBook edition for your phone, tablet, computer and eReader.

Join us next week, when we’re going to take a look at the next supplement for Codex: Space Marines – ‘Clan Raukaan’ of the Iron Hands.

Thanks for reading!

Thanks for the find - sounds pretty much exactly what i was hoping for, so color me excited !

Right, but if that was the whole of it then the Red Hunters thing wouldn't work with SOB. Since you can't have two different allies.

The only way that the RH thing works is if you are allowed to take inquisitors as part of your primary AS detachment.

or if FW plans on making changes

I asked them (digital editions)directly, i'll let you know if they answer me

**ClockworkZion**

As soon as I can get everything for the preview together I'll be posting it all on Talk Wargaming like I did C: AS. No point in only the iPad users being the only ones to see the stuff afterall.

The Question to Forgeworld
I had a question concerning the newly released PDF for "SPACE MARINE CHAPTER TACTICS FOR SIXTH EDITION WARHAMMER 40,000".

For the section that addresses the Red Hunters on the that states the following:
"By this Seal: When using the Allies Matrix, all models in
the Red Hunters detachment count units from Codex: Grey
Knights and Sisters of Battle as Battle Brothers so long as an
Inquisitor is also present in the allied detachment."

Sisters of Battle (now known as Adeptus Sororitas as in the new codex release) no longer have an inquisitor in their codex and haven't since they were part of the Witch Hunters codex. Can you please clarify how a sisters of battle/adeptus sororitas is suppose to be able to take the Red Hunters as allies if they cannot take an inquisitor in their army list?

The Response via Forge World
Thank you for your email. The Chapter Tactics update is fully up to date with the current codex's and is in fact future proofed. All we can say is that it is correct and the Red Hunters Chapter Tactics will make sense at a later date.

Doesn't say how it works... I asked them directly if we would be able to put INQ hq in a slot on our normal army. or if they were able to be warlords from the aly slot... as there could be several ways to do things...

**pretre**

Yeah, we've known about that answer for weeks now. Thanks though.

Unless they give you the ability to take TWO allied detachments, there is absolutely no way to have Inquisitor army, Battle Sisters army, and a Red Hunters army together all at the same time, thus the Red Hunters chapter tactics that lets Red Hunter Space Marines ally with Sisters of Battle if the Sisters are led by an inquisitor would make no sense if Inquisitors could only be a separate detachment, warlord of the primary or not. Therefore, the likely rule is that Inquisitors are allowed to be crammed into any Imperial army as additional units instead of an entire separate detachment.

No. People still think you need an e-reader. We should just add it to the title of each digital thread. 'You don't need a fething e-reader'

Im really interested, how do I not need an E-reader?
I mean I have a Nook, but it is very tiny

Get a program that reads ePub and Mobi. Adobe Digital Reader for PC works fine for ePub. Calibre works for ePub and Mobi.

Guys, what's the deal with those priests? Do they always seem to carry a hammer? Is that picture from the black library site how they are supposed to look? Someone mentioned they are from the Sisters (an army I have never seen). How do they function in that army?

I have all of that, but carrying around a codex in my phone is a bit annoying.

Priests carry a variety of weapons. Hammers are just one of them. They generally come stock with Chainsword/Pistol in most armies.

Sisters Priests use hammers right now for the delicious synergy with Smash.

Okay, so print it out from your computer or send it to Kinkos/Office Max/etc.

**hotsauceman1**

Damn, Im dumb....
Know any good Epub readers that allow you to print? I dont have one that does

**ace101**

Been watching this thread for a while, and now i'm sold: I want this. Any ebook readers for a computer I could get a hold of?

Calibre allows you to convert ePub, Mobi to PDF, which is then easy to print.

Personally, I used Calibre to convert to PDF and then FoxIt to edit the PDF to take out the stuff I didn't care about.

edit: And before anyone asks, no I will not provide you with any of my end results.
