they could staple two unicorn halfs together and tell us that the new codex too, but thats not how it will turn out.

I stand by my statement, and find it funny that now you say im prbably right, but you just take issue with how sure I am, as opposed to "citation required" type foolishness.

it is the way they will do it, because its the onlyway they can do it..

"army X can take inquisitor unit y in stead of {whatever} as their warlord"
is pretty open ended, there are a lot of ways GW could enact that "rule" I am simply stating how it will work, not the vehicle it uses to get there.

I do know that allies will not be the vehicle that puts an inquisitor HQ in almost every army, it will be a rule along the lines of the one I have posted.

where did i say you are probably right? because I said you may not be wrong? I"m saying we don't know, and I asked Digital Editions for clarifacation so that we might actualy KNOW, not speculate because FW said one thing...

**easysauce**

only other rumor I have heard thats not on here,

that INQ might get access to vortex grenades,

take with a grain of salt that one though.

back OT,

what wargear are you guys looking forward too?
personally I think all the xenos tech, and relic stuff like vortex grenades, the emperors tarot, null rods will be fun to play with.

they do seem to be diggin up lots of older inq stuff to put in here it seems.

definetly a full dex, thats been true for a while, so I think people are going to be quite suprised at how much is in it. should be on par with sisters for codex selection.

Spoiler:

Infact a bit of the Empire stuff can be good for inquisitors

I'm a bit slow, I can't seem to find that model on the website.

I really hope inquisitore get something to shut down all those psychic buffs in the game. If anyne can get some stop psykers, it is them

I fully expect null rods to be in this dex,

emperors tarot was rumoured to be back in too (though likely as warlord trait not wargear)

vortex grenades,

lots of xenos tech stuff along the lines of what valeria has,

Look through the pics, to get him single though you need to go to bit sites

Ok, GW, bring out a good Eisenhorn Mini and I´ll be your slave again!

**Azreal13**

I wholly doubt I'll buy any more GW models to fill out my warband, I now enjoy hunting out alternate minis from other makers for "counts as" too much.

I bet there'll be some awesome minis out there for all the henchmen types once I start digging.

Pleased this will hopefully give me an excuse to buy some of those Eisenkern troopers too!

QFT! He was one of my favorites from the old game, and it would be really fun to be able to field him in 40k.

My prayers have been answered. This keeps getting better and better.

Woah wait, Inquisitorial Land Raiders have Fire points?

That appears to be a link to the rule, not an indication that they have them. That'd be hilarious if they do though.

That's what I'm saying though, why link the rule if they don't have them? It'd be incredible

**pretre**

I dunno, someone check C:SM and see if they have them there.

Who would be the most likely allies for Eisenhorn? Because, fluff-wise I guess it would be Guard but this would be a great excuse to roll Sisters or GK.

I'm not sure that the SoB or GK would really approve of his pet Daemon.

I would say that Guard are a better fit, yeah. More easilym cowed by his authority and less uptight than the SoB or GK.

Yeah, Sisters are probably out - but GK have their own Daemonhosts, don't they? I don't have the book but vaguely remember butthurt about that. I could be mistaken.

GW Digital replied that they have 0 Fire Points

As long as I can use a cool model to represent a nails Inquisitor, run some of those Eisenkerns as troops and bling the feth out of a land Raider or Valkyrie, I'm happy.

I'll overlook any slightly...less good (or unbalanced) options for now.

Led by Daemonhost Ace, Frank "Crazypants" Nhillaarhotep. The ladies want him, the men want to be torn asunder by a thousand screaming warp ghosts.

This codex, along with some other convenient events, is going to get me playing 40k again incidentally, after not playing a game in about eight years.

**Vaktathi**

I'm really interested in this book primarily for the Stormtroopers, I really want there to be ST's as troops, and I'd really like for them to be re-imagined. The current IG stormtroopers are naff for anything other than min/max suicide DS melta squads on any sort of consistent basis, I'd really love to see an actual *stormtrooper*-esque unit in the classic sense as an IG equivalent to something like Sternguard where they can shoot and fight above notably above their "normal" counterparts but aren't so specialized that you send them only against one type of target.

**H.B.M.C.**

We ain't gonna get "Inquisitorial Storm Troopers". I have this on very good authority.

I don't think we'll get any new models from this, but I am hoping that we get the full spread of transport options - Rhino, Land Raider, Chimera, Valkyrie, Stretch Hummer, Tyranid Malefactor, etc. - just to show that Inquisitors can get whatever car they want!

And I think it's pretty clear that you'll be able to take an Inquisitor in your primary detechment, otherwise the Red Hunter FAQ doesn't make sense. It's an Occam's Razor situation; we don't know for certain, but of the two options (cannot take in primary and can take in primary) it is the most likely/simplest choice.

**Mr Morden**

IIRC they have already said no new models....

Hopefully lots of SC's

Eisenhorn would be cool - prefer Amberley but he would do

This makes me sad, and very curious as to why the **** not

**swampyturtle**

I can now use my warbands in a official codex and not have to use them as count as in my IG list? consider me sold!

**motyak**

If that Eisenhorn thing turns out to be just a paragraph of fluff with no model/rules involved...

Burn them, burn them all!

**Azreal13**

For clarity, are we saying "there will be no such thing as Inquisitorial Stormtroopers" in that they won't have the unit ported over from the IG codex, or are we saying "there will be no such thing as Inquisitorial Stormtroopers" in the sense that they won't exist in the Codex either functionally or nominally?

everything that I see says that we absolutely WILL get Inq stormtroopers, not new models OFC, but they will be in there.

**H.B.M.C.**

I'm saying that the book might include Storm Troopers, but the concept of "Inquisitorial" Storm Troopers (ie. a specific standing force of Strom Troopers that are part of/work for the Inquisition) won't be there.

When he says that, he says it from a place with a better view than you, he sees much further.
