Millions of Sisters of Battle too - plus all those Engineseers etc. Of course its mass produced and constantly being made.

Plus Inqusitiors should have access to Artifcer armour - as thats what several wear in the lore when in high intensity combat.

In the 40k universe I can see this being a brute force method with tens of millions of techpriests on each work on 1 suite of power armor at a time, and when that is finished start on another one. Who cares if it takes 30 years to make each suite if you have 5,000 being completed every day. That would take 54.75 million techpriests btw, which seems like a insane number to us, but I can see the Imperium doing that, honestly I could see multiple individual forgeworlds doing that by themselves.
I wouldn't exactly call that Mass Produced, but I would call it "Produced in Mass"

Spot on. Also Tyrus isnt your typical Inquisitor (he's the only Inquisitor in the Inquisitor rulebook that had power armour, but dont let that stop you...). If power armour was mass produced for Inquisitors then theyd all have it, like marines and Sisters, but it isnt, so they dont. And if they did, theyd have it in White Dwarf, as the guys who wrote the Inquisition CA are the rules and lore writers... .

Inquisitors get what they want - correct?
Inquisitors can and do want Power Armour as per lore so they have it - same as various energy fields beyond the basic refractor field that Imperial officers have.

Overall I feel the Inquisitors (and to certain extent the henchmen) should have much more gear options. These things do not conform to their no-model-no-rule policy anyway, so why not? Just basically give them access to armouries of all imperial armies combined.

No carapace, no grenade launchers, and no shotguns either.

Yeah, if anything, given that there aren't really official models they're sticking to, you'd think to give them the most amount of options would maximize sales from people kitbashing acolyte squads together.

It's just 40k right???

I keep hearing people comment that there is rules for inquisitors in kill team also in the magazine..

Did anyone else notice that the Terminator Inquisitor still moves 6 inches? I guess Inq. Terminator armor is super-special.

You can either convert him/her to have roller-skates or use a tartaros armour

Just because an Inquisitor finds himself in a battlefield situation doesnt mean he then suddenly has access to power armour if he didnt before. Look at Eisenhorn, Ravenor, Covenant, Inquisitor Czevak. It is NOT trivial for an Inquisitor to get power armour, quite the opposite. you seem to be uner the impression that Power Armour, whilst Space MArine Chapters are outfitted with it, and Sisters of Battle have it is, easy to come by. Indeed, just because he is ont the battlefield in every game down in your local store Guilliman is not just extremely rare, he is unique. Tabletop and lore dont always mesh, Marines are an extremely uncommon sight, yet we see them all the time in games. I dont have a problem with GW restricting power armour for inquisitors, but then again im more of a fluff gamer and will be adding the odd PA Inquisitor to narrative Kill Team and smaller 40k games in certain campaigns So, as it stands, it is not nonsense, in the least

The guy's authority comes from Emperor. Basically only protest he has to worry is higher up Inquisitors. Anybody else would be committing treason to deny request. As such if Inquisitor wants PA he has the authority to get one as long as his superiors don't take dim view(and if it's for combat purpose unlikely). Plenty of examples of power armoured Inquisitors in fluff.

If Inquisitor is planning to go into full out battlefield a) PA makes lots of sense b) it's quite fluffy(plenty of examples) c) he has the authority to get one. If denied he has authority to arrest and even execute the other. As long as higher ranking Inquisitors don't interfere he's fair play.

An Inquisitor MAY requisition an army of SOP or Marines, but it is not done lightly. Power armour is not 'constantly' being made, its not a mass produced process. If it was theyd be giving power armour out to guardsmen. You can try to justify it in whatever way you please but it doesn't make it true.

If you don't see difference between giving out to every guardsmen that number in how many trillions and giving one to one of the very rare person(Inquisitors are not numerous) of which you are dealing with minor case(most aren't going gung ho on full on battlefield all the time) who has authority to order one even if it means one less space marine suit armour around until it's been done then I don't know what to say...It's completely different scenario.

Gee. Ever thought the concept there might be OTHER reasons than rarity why every Inquisitor isn't running around in one? You quite the Inquisitor rulebook. Clearly you haven't READ it though since if you had you would know Inquisitors don't run around in PA all the time because it would interfere their bloody job. Good luck being unnoticed when walking around in frigging power armour. It's only on serious combat fields you would get one and not every Inquisitor goes around participiating in major battles.

The PA isn't all powerful all situation suit. There's reasons when you use one and when you don't. Inquisitors have reasons to use and not use and it's even up to personal taste.

Really. Read your fluff and the Inquisitor rulebook.

As far as they can make someone believe that, you guys are all forgetting the fact that a primarch showed up, supposed son of the emperor, and people still gave him gak. And then rather immediately died, but they tried.

Just because you're granted great power, doesn't mean you're completely free of the byzantine bs that is the imperium. To get power armor you need to find someone who can make it for you, which is relatively rare itself, you need to convince them to do so for you specifically, and then you need to wait around for it to actually get finished. Same deal with terminator armor, only rarer, slower, and far more influential. You're competing for surprisingly limited resources in this case, likely against other inquisitors who want such things.

Just because resources on a galactic scale are staggering, doesn't mean this ever becomes easy. Look at rogue trader and see how hard it is for one of them to get terminator armor too, it takes a lot of influence to even get a word in on the people who make such things.

Sad to see inquisitors lost crusaders and assassins. Very bland retinue, especially since acolytes cannot take shields.

Seems to be confusion with wargear options and selections for acolytes.

As others have pointed out, their policy of no model no rule, doesn’t apply to this. Why not go gang busters with options for customization on inq and acolytes? Seems specifically limiting for no reason.

I still think inq should be able to requisition almost any vehicle for their personal transport.

The relics being only if for warlords is limiting. Not sure why considering inquisitors are always thought of for having weird relics or exotic things not normal..

Inq weapon restrictions, like that on the tainted blade are weird and limiting for something someone would take purely for theme (only replaces power sword... what’s the reason it can’t just replace whatever weapon? ESP if you’re paying a premium for the one you’ve replaced lol)

Kinda feels like another half baked try, but at least a themed Relictors force is back on the table...

You're overlooking how cannibalistic authority in the imperium, particularly among inquisitors is. You can disagree with one, and refuse to hand over your family heirloom artificer power armor, just after inquisitor name-you've-never-heard-of makes planetfall...

...but you'd be lucky to get away with just a bolter round to the skull for your impudence. The inquisition are ruthless on a scale humanity has not seen in history before, and to top that off, utterly, utterly disorganized, following a madcap social-Darwinist everyone-who-disagrees-with-me-gets-shot dogma. For middling level inquisitors, issues like money simply aren't a problem. Most planetary populations would be so glad to see the back of them that an old suit of power armor is a small price to pay to keep them from rooting about in the archives. The authority of the inquisition is the will of the emperor, certainly, but in real terms, it is derived from the potential violence wielded by each individual inquisitor.

By your logic, Space Marine armies should be extremely rare, because they are so few in the tide of war in the 41st millennium, and Custodes and Grey Knight armies should be almost (if not totally) unheard of. The Inquisition is the most "Your Dudes" of all the "Your Dudes" armies, and it really is only appropriate that they should get an extremely high level of customization. You pay points to represent how unusual something is. An inquisitor with fatigues and carapace armor are probably a penny a dozen, but that points markup is a in-game-buffer on how unusual power armor is. It should really say something about how rare these resources are that every inquisitor deployed to a warzone doesn't just come with this equipment as standard, but players have to deliberately sink points to give their inquisitors PA.

Poorly thought out argument.

No, not always. They generally have to be of a pretty high standing or have an extremely good reason to requisition 'anything' they want.

I really don't want to sound confrontational, but it seems you're purposefully ignoring a very salient point to make your argument fit. You say "No, not always. They generally have to be of a pretty high standing or have an extremely good reason to requisition 'anything' they want." So, to be clear, you're expressly stating that almost any inquisitor (effectively any Inquisitor) can't requisition almost anything that he/she wants? And you're going so far down this road of (incorrect) argument as to say that some Inquisitors are of such low authority that they can't obtain access to a suit of power armour? Is that what you're saying?

There is no canon in 40k, everything is propaganda.
Or maybe a more topic appropriate way to say that is: "everything you have been told is a lie"

An Inquisitor can take command of an entire Guard Battalion, Sisters of Battle Detachment, Space Marine Company, Death Watch Strike Force, Grey Knight Brotherhood, Admech Explorator Force, Imperial Knight Household, an a Rogue Trader's Entire retinue to spearhead a battle against a critical threat from Xenos, Heretics, Daemons, Traitors, and/or Seditionists...

...but asking for a set of power armor? Slow your role, homie. Better stuff some issues of White Dwarf magazine in your coat if you wanna stop a gunshot. Just who do you think you are, with your fancy little =][= badge?

He can, but its not automatic, and in many cases he may not have access to those particular assets for a number of reasons.
Eisenhorn fought against xenos, rival Inquisitors and a multitude of enemies. Surely he'd be better off with power armour, surely his friend Magos Geard Bure (before his death) could have fashioned him a suit, thrown it together in an instant, because its apparently that easy to do, or maybe he could have walked into his local Nike Power Armour store and picked one up off the rack, one size fits all and all that other rubbish.

He absolutely could have ordered Ad Mech to make him a custom fit one. He didn't do it for some reason, probably because it would been way too conspicuous and cumbersome. There are many reasons for an Inquisitors to not wear a power armour, 'can't get one' isn't among them.

Who hasn't run Inquisitor RPGS? I have - plenty of them.

Eisenhorn does not use Power Armour - ok....

Conversely (the non psychic) Amberley Vail often works in "civilian clothes" and relies on concealable force fields BUT when she knows she is going into a heavy combat - like say your average 40k tabletop battlefield guess what she gets out her custom Artifcer Power armour so she can kick ass and more importantly not die.

Saying yeah she (and other inquisitors) sometimes get caught in firefights without it is fine - Claiming that somehow Inqusitors should not have it as a OPTION is just trolling.
