It definitely needs a new kit, i can't believe that GW are still selling the old metal one from Gorkamorka.

No reason for landing gear to have a drive chain tho. I'm jumping on the gyrostabilized monosquig bandwagon.

Here's the Inquisition content you've all been waiting for!

I really hope Inquisitors can be used as HQs for Deathwatch, Sisters, and Grey Knights.

You'll be lucky if they have more than one set gear loadout, nevermind rules for use in multiple armies.

Maybe it is not an Inquisitor but a member of the retinue, like an Interrogator? It would be nice to have more models normally encountered only in the wh40k rpgs.

in the end will the expansion of inquisition be true for kill team?

An Inquisitor and a handful of models for a retinue - able to be a leader in several Imperial armies on its own representing the Inquisitions ability to requisition the services of others who follow the Emperor.


It would be a better way to represent them than a whole codex of their own and an army; just make them a leader attachment.

Now would be the time to do it I suppose, it could be part of what ever that Kill Team trailer that was revealed ago is.

Having acolytes that aren't glorified guardsmen would be nice. 4+ armor, and 3+ BS for starters. Also a way to take them without spending 3cp on a Vanguard detachment.

So...Scions or Skitarii.
You've literally just asked for carapace armored(4+), 3+ BS humans which is what Scions and Skitarii are.

Inquisition and Acolytes are going to be a difficult concept to ever really 'get right' because it has the same issue we've seen in translating the Warcry warbands into AoS proper: they're mixed up batches of things that are effectively characters. Having an Inquisitorial Warband being a thing taken via a Supreme Command Detachment(Inquisitor with Supreme Commander and their warband being a 'bought as one unit separated out into many') would be the best setup.

Indeed, 4+ armour and 3+ BS means they're Scions or Skitarii, just as 5+ armour and 4+ BS means they're literally Guardsmen.

Codex Inquisition confirmed!

Glad I held onto my Kyoto Pattern Inquisition Squad

Could be a rework of the Inquisitor 54mm game into 28mm 32mm...?

Yes, exactly that. I want Scions (coughKasrkinscough) in my Inquisition detachment, with inquisition wargear choices and some thematic special rules / stratagems.

Real-talk:
Do you not see the silliness of asking for "not glorified Guardsmen"...while asking for exactly that? Stormtroopers/Scions literally were called "Glory Boys" in the lore by Guardsmen!

Said before, will continue saying: Inquisition is going to be a hard thing to translate onto the tabletop into a way that isn't just "X army +1". It's especially going to be more difficult if people don't want to be locked out of old models.

Something worth noting/mentioning is that until we see a return to 'Grenadiers' for Guard? Stuff like Kasrkin just ain't happening. It sucks but that seems to be the purview of just Scions now.

Knowing GW we'll see most of those revealed in like a year and it makes me sad

It worked just fine in 3rd, 4th, and 5th. I don’t see a reason why it couldn’t work now. It might just require slightly more thought for the people playing the game. Really GW just needs to do Codex Inquisition and let them be their own thing. They get Inquisitors and retinues can all take a few units from the guard book, a few units from the SM book, let them take Enforcers (great way to reuse the Necromunda box) and then depending on their Ordos can take a couple units from Deathwatch, Sisters, or Grey Knights. People shouldn’t have to jump through a bunch of hoops to play an army which likely isn’t going to be particularly competitive anyways. I mean every Space Marine Chapter under the sun has their own book or supplement, why not give a faction that is actually unique one?

And then it will probably be a single named character with a henchman or two for a campaign book....

Wut?

Currently you can have GEQ acolytes. I want scion equivalent acolytes. Or really anything that says "I'm somewhat special, hence why an Inquisitor let me be in their retinue." Preferably in a way that doesn't involve spending 3CP. The OG Daemonhunters codex had a (daemon)host of options.
I'm not sure why this is an argument?

Plenty of room for cool stuff in the Crusade rules as well.

Easy. It matches the back of the dead missionary/priest on the ground of Illuminor Szeras base. It also corresponds to that earlier rumor engine pic (the one carrying books)



Couldn't find a good picture, but you can see it on the bottom left corner

Edit: Blackstone fortress has it too

Good memory, man.

So Ecclesiarchal something something retinue or warband for sure.

Yeah looks like maybe a Inquisitor and retinue? Maybe Killteam/Quest?

There isnt a missionary/preacher you can buy in plastic for sister atm is there?

There's a lot of stuff that smells of both sisters, inquisitors and possibly kill team imo.

There is not a Missionary or Crusader available in plastic by themselves, no. Blackstone Fortress and Escalation have them available but they're on shared sprues with the other explorers and have not been released outside of those games.

It is worth mentioning that it would tick off two factions for a box release if done right--Guard and Sisters both. Would be interesting if Missionaries/Preachers came two or three to a box ala the Dark Apostle for CSM.

God, I'd love a dedicated Crusader release. The one from Escalation looks great, but even online, nobody is selling it at a reasonable price

I just hope we see any of those this bloody decade

Combat Arena is still a thing from Barnes and Noble.

It's $39 for the explorers only...and you can get it discounted or with coupons.

Honestly, that's a steal. Especially since the Crusader alone costs more than half of that
