See title. I mean normal chapters, not the militant branches (GK and DW). Just curious to add some primaris backup for an inquisition strike force, but not sure what chapter to go with - I initially thought minotaurs but if there are any other options I'd like to know before I paint them up

Thanks in advance!

The Red Hunters.

It is known their entire chapter is under the influence of the Inquisition. The book The Emperor's Gift has the entire chapter serve an Inquisitor Lord of the Ordo Malleus.

The Grey Knights and Death watch are technicly Marine chapters!

Red Hunters serve the Inqusition no matter what. GK have considered killing some of them....

and if the RHs serve the inqusition no matter what, the Red Hunters proably already HAVE killed inqusitors.

Red hunters, grey knights, deathwatch.

All work closely with inquisition. All chapters can be compelled to work with them but they are some of most directly, or directly in the inquisition chain of command.

The minatours are high lords private force not inquisition.
Ad mech. I'm not sure if they have one...

Red hunters sound perfect
Much more appropriate than minotaurs - they were more because I fight a lot of marine armies, so I figured it would make sense for the big I to requisition some marine killers. But I like the idea of red hunters a bit more.

Thanks guys

Minotaurs and Space Wolves have both been used to kill Marines (Space Wolves may have killed one of the lost Legions as well). Grey Knights have also been known to participate in killing chapters (Relictors come to mind, though they never got all of them).

And Red Huners are indeed cool. They get mind wiped regularly (makes you wonder if their combat role is assigned along with their name after each wipe) and the old CT they had let a number of units equal to the turn number gain a special rule once per game.

I see Minotaurs as serving the High Lords of Terra than the Inquisition.

There not inquisition. They work for the high lords, there not inquisition solely. And they sure love no divided loyalty

Compel is too strong a word for it. It's more akin to putting forth a formal request for military aid. Fortunately for the Inquisition, that request is usually to do with killing aliens, daemons and heretics, something Marines are all too happy to do regardless of who's asking.

I wouldn't call the relationship between the Space Wolves and the Inquisition friendly. They can work together but they hate each other.

Exorcists Chapter






http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Exorcists

The Exorcists are a Space Marine Chapter with a very dubious founding history. They were formed as a successor chapter of the Grey Knights[6] at the end of M35, or early M36, in the Thirteenth Founding (The Dark Founding). They have a somewhat worrying creation as they were test subjects for a new form of Daemonhunters. On the subject of the creation, a single communication remains, and was sent from a Genetor-Major of the Xenobiologis core, named Lauram Clelland.

The Black templars are commonly working with the Inquisition. Their particular way of organisation and vast numbers have been put to use by many an Inquisitor. They're famously the only chapter to accept the Ecclisiarchy teachings so relationship with most Imperial organisations naturally come easier for them.

True... But some are more happy to keep the inquisition at the a good arms length.
And not every chapter wants to invite the inquisition that close.

I'm surprised that there's not been expanded fluff as much as them working with sisters, cardinals and others.
Probably if inquisition, its going to be working with a puritan.

How are they the only ones to accept the Ecclesiarchy teachings? Several Chapters worship the Emperor.

I doubt that they are canonically the only Chapter to fully worship the Emperor as a God and accept the Ecclessiarchy teachings, but they're the only one of the major chapters (fluffwise) that do.

Ehh... But don't they also have a bit of a problem with being somewhat overstaffed? Retconned down to not being quite so much now, but earlier estimates of maybe even 6000 Black Templars would have made it quite important that Inquisitors worried about Space Marines getting "ideas" didn't learn the full numbers of the Chapter.

On the other hand, if you're always willing to lend a hand many Inquisitors won't ask where the stuff came from, or at least they'll ignore it as long as it's more use than nuisance. A bit like the Space Wolves.

Plus well only the High Marshal knows their full strength. And with there nature even that can be less acurate. They rarely due to nature and to hide strengh gather in full strength.

Last time might have been M32. Last wall orders.

Going to answer some stuff about my earlier Black Templars post.

About ecclisiarchy teachings:
It's true that other chapter ms follow theese teachings, I was wrong to say none do. However it only applies to chapters outside of gw publishing. I havn't read every BL book there is so I assume it occurs somewhere but none of the first founding does. The Emperor is distantly related to the Space Marines, which clashes with some Ecclisiarchy teachings. To put things a bit simpler and not drag this on I'd say that most chapters would not accept a Ecclisiarchy priest to hold their ceremonies. A black templars group might.

About the workings with the Inquisition:
The Black templars work frequently with the SoB who used to be an extension of the Inquisitions might. Their close workings doesn't neccesitate Inquisitorial involvment but it's very likely. If the SoB deploy chances are there's an Inquisitor oveerseing it and pulling strings in the shadows, even more so if an astartes chapters is added to the force.

About their organisation:
Their high numbers was sanctioned in the past with certain conditions. I'm not 100% sure about theese conditions but they've definetly added to their unique organisation. I assume it includes that they may never cease their crusade or make a permanent base.

Unique black templars policies:
The black does not use psykers. No librarians are in their ranks. Astropaths and Navigators are viewed as a neccesary evil. They do not use heavy weapon squads either. They have scouts mixed with their regular units. Theese things are not individually unique to them but togheter they point towards a very special formation that, from a Imperial Fist 2nd founding, makes them truly unique. Theese policies and organisation traits must make them frequently find themselves in cooperation with the Inquisition.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, so I apologise in advance, but do you think a primaris marine founding chapter that is lead by a group of inquisitors and operates with/like the death watch/and or is a seperate force of xenos/heretic exterminators, made of compiled Primaris marines whos chapters were founded and annihilated down to a few survivors fluffy or does the inquisition have specific feelings on them? I havent been able to read the novel

I was thinking Gulliman wasn't a fan of the Inquisition.. He kinda heaped them within the blame circle for the Imperium's state

I'm pretty sure it is stated in Rise of the Primarch it stated that he didn't like and they hated him back in Dark Imperium.

The inqusition is so factionalized that chances are their reaction varies. hell you proably have two new cabals of the inqusition, the Anti-Guili's whom belive Gulliman IS the greatest threat to the IoM, and Gulli's Men, whom belive the best thing the inqusition can do is whatever Gulliman tells them to do. that said he has bumped heads with the Inqusition because he's trying to uncover the true history of the IoM, which means he's tearing the cardboard taped over a LOT of pictures in history text books, so to speak

I don't think we heard from Greyfax in Dark Imperium too. I can a case that the Inquisition try and get rid of him because of the power he gained.

See, I suppose that could work... Loyalist primaris from the expunged and traitor legions, under watchful eye of the Inquisition under order 626.2 is executed

Im hoping Grayfax is pro Primaris because I love her model
