Because that is just god awful

What has been seen can never be unseen.

Any word yet on who is writing the codex?

My only reservation is the bit about "inquisitor and his retinue in any Imperial army" which kinda implies that it won't be a stand alone list. Not a big deal though, probably fluffier that way.

I understand your reservation, but this honestly excites me a lot.

I want nothing more than to replicate Jaq Draco and retinue from the Inquisition War trilogy into my Marines. I also plan to convert Captain Lexandro D'Arquebus as well.

Excited.

I really hope we get rules for Deathwatch. Sternguard rules are not quite good enough as DW fill-ins for me.

They've said there are no marines in this codex at all. They have hinted that Deathwatch may be getting something in the future.

2 most likely Dakka reactions:

1) Cynical outraged response about being gouged for yet another supplement.
2) Happiness that the Deathwatch will be getting some official rules.

I think with Deathwatch it'll lean more towards the second, people have been wanting that for so long that it getting its own special treatment would make them happy. I mean some will disagree, but I think the majority of people will support them getting their own focused minidex

Did I miss some exciting time when Deathwatch weren't just another iteration of "And these were the most elitest of all the elite marines. Remember that time when we told you how awesome that last group of marines was, well these guys are ten times better than them."?
They just seem like a marine army for people that hate painting marines, but hate painting lots of maltese crosses even more.

Nope, for a throw away WD article they've gone pretty far.

Heck, I remember when they first teased them in Codex Armageddon (a one-liner to the effect of The Ordo Xenos has sent 5 kill teams) and was SO DISAPPOINTED to find out they were just more marines.

But the RPG has gone some way towards fleshing them out and there is something cool about an all-star marine unit drawing from all chapters.

Why can't it be both?

As Kyoto said, there's a lot more to Deathwatch these days. They're not just "more elite Marines".

As long as they have a good way to make a BS 4, 4+ save model with hot-shot lasguns or something close I'll be happy. Making acolyte versions with crappy BS is not a good way to try and win games at the moment. (in my experience anyway)

I am really just hoping for a breadth of options.

I believe this will be a stand alone codex, probably a weak one but one that will be amazing as an allie and work with imperial factions.
I'm hoping that Ward or Rob aren't writing it.

It'd be nice if they took some inspiration from Dark Heresy to give us two "levels" of Henchmen.

Acolytes could be the basic ones (WS3 BS3) and then Throne Agents could be the higher quality ones (giving us the BS4 troopers to make approximate Stormies).

I didn't expect this.

I can't wait to see what will come in terms of heavy infantry, seeing as the inquisition (not just grey knights type inquisition) get landraiders.

Well it's not just that they can get Land Raiders. Technically Inquisitors can get whatever they want. It's what I liked about that "By the authority of the Immortal Emperor" rule from the DH/WH Codices.

Im just wondering how it works with aliens. I mean can you ally the inquisition with them?

What about a width of options too? Then you can have a codex with a full width and breadth.



I'll stop now.

Well the Allies Matrix has Templars as best buds with the Eldar, yet the give the cold shoulder to the Sisters, so it could be anything.

I thought that was the "No girls allowed" Policy f not allowing girls in your club.

Noooo, my moneys

There's a few possibilities here, one would be we're getting something more like IG vets, a much more flexible and interesting unit than ISTs. Or they're getting renamed to something cooler like "Inquisition Enforcers" which also cuts the ties with IG Storm Troopers.

I would still lay good odds on there being some sort of IG 4+ save unit.

Arbites? Hopefully? Maybe? Probably not?

Oh god that would be so full of win... but no.... I forsee everything having a model already for all this codex units, save possibly henchmen.

Arbites have had three sets of model releases that I'm aware of...

so true,

wild guess here,

but I think that SOB, GK, marines, IG will get access to the INQ codex with little to no restrictions,

tau, eldar, orks probably have some restrictions and negatives to taking INQ, like no ordos xenos or something,

no go on DE< nids<chaos><necrons>

dsyartes, where are the releases? last one I saw was the necromunda arbites, and they are OOP for a while now.

I like the wall.......

The wa\y they seem to compose the Ally Matrix it could be anything and likely to be as much at odds with the fluff as possible

I am guessing:
Battle Brothers: Eldar and Tau - must keep making them better.............Marines - its just come out so need to keep sales flooding - see previous.
Allies of Convenience: Chaos Demons,
Desperate: Grey Knights and Sororitas as they are specifically mentioned as being assocaited with the Inquisition.
Come the A: Imperial Guard - they are not allies but conscripted......

Well, Jokaeroes are part of the Inquisition now, with no explanation given.

And all are discontinued.

I chuckled. Yeah, sounds plausible.

The Jokaero are in because they're extremely useful. They're very good at creating high-quality technology, so the Inquisition likes to keep them around to acquire said tech.

The Jokaero are in because they are considered like the grox. Grox are aliens too, but they are very well accepted. Because they are considered unintelligent animals. Like the Jokaero.

Tau are also excellent at technology, as are Eldar and Necrons and in a way Grots. But somehow Ordo Xenos does not like their presence

Tyranids are also considered unintelligent animals. But somehow Ordo Xenos does not like their presence either.
