Excited for inquisition to get full rules again, I really hope they allow lots of customisation though as most people have very unique converted armies

Excuse you?

Kroot superiority reigns supreme

This Kroot you speak of...are they local?

No. And there’s Twelfty of them! I believe they come from Swansea.

It’s 10th edition, I think you’ll be sorely disappointed if expecting customization

The carnivores are kind of boring and theres 20 of them in the box I'm afraid.

It's Imperial Agents. I think anyone expecting lots of Inquisitorial stuff would be disappointed anyways.

NOBODY expects the.....Inquisition.

(Sorry, someone had to say it)

It's also got a page dedicated to Grey Knights in the bottom right. You can see Terminators with nemesis halberds in the top left, and their chapter symbol is above the "Book of the Warp" header.

Opposite page looks like it has a Deathwatch Watchmaster standing behind an Inquisitor.

So get ready for people to get very cross/excited to get something like the old Daemonhunters book back.

Wish listing - I've always wanted an Inquisition codex where Grey Knights/Death Watch/Sisters were a troop choice depending on your Inquisitor's Ordo.

Maybe generic marines for the other ordos.

And then Storm Troopers/Arbites/IG Vets as the other troop choice.

I'm just hoping for a cool, generic inquisitor model that is easily kitbashable.

the ideal is for it to be something like the exalted sorcerer kit for ksons. give us the option of building all three types of inquisitor, and give all of them their own weird options

Amen to that. I regret not picking up the store anniversary model a couple years ago, but I would love a proper kit for one that lent itself to being converted.

hopes and expectations are two very different things

I can't think of much else in 40k with less actual demand behind it than Kroot to be fair.

How about another Primaris Lieutenant?

Sisters of Battle before the massive update?


That said the whole queue system is normally for exceptional releases and limited print run releases. So things like one-off books or discount bundle sets and so forth. They should be rarer rather than common events.

Or another ten man unit in tacticus armor all armed with same weapon and no kit options.

Yeah, my guess is that the Agents of the Imperium book will just be:

- The Inquisition Agents kit
- Eisenhorn(?)
- Greyfax
- Draxus
- The 4 Assassins
- Exaction
- Navy Breachers
- Starstriders
- Watchmaster
- Corvus Blackstar
- The 5 Plastic Grey Knight units
- Maybe 3-5 Marine units
* Intercessors/Jump/Assault
* Aggressors
* Redemptor Dread
* Impulsor
* Repulsor
- New Karamazov
- New Coteaz

That would be 27 Dataslates. So maybe if they add a new squad of Inquisitors or add the Palantine units from Necromunda they max out a codex.

In the Rogue Trader era he was called Stabby McHatebooks.

There seemed to be a lot of people excited by it when they did the reveal, including a lot of non-Tau / Kroot players. *shrugs* No skin off my nose, just that most weeks since the revamp, if I forget and try to go on the store on Saturday morning to look at something else, I have to abandon it because of the queue.

It would make more sense if Tempestus made up the bulk of the Imperial Agents lista rather than marines.
Tempestus has a close relation to the Inquisition, and it would be great if they could bring some new life and purpose to that range now that AM got their Kasrkin updated and integrated in the modern cadia design.

They've sold out on the US store. The French, Spanish and Italian versions have also sold out. That doesn't seem like a failure of a launch.
They do seem to be doing better lately with their plastics lately. The old world big boxes came back in stock relatively quickly. It's the resin stuff that's been impossible to find.

It's not entirely unwarranted to caution people like that even if you get technical about that difference. Which you should, in my opinion, but regardless of that, what's on the list? Cool? That's easy enough. GW makes a lot of models that are cool to some.

Generic? The trouble with that is that it's desirable for us, and has a point in an army list that features Inquisition as an army in its own right, but isn't something GW has been invested in for a while. It's worth keeping in mind that the Inquisition has been on a downward slope of neglect for twenty years now, including a fairly recent period in which the designers' stated belief was that the Inquisition has no place in the mainline game of 40k. Until the release of the Inquisition Kill Team, for a while the Inquisition existed pretty much because of a handful of named characters. We should by all rights get a generic Inquisitor model. Three would be better still. But that is firmly a hope. There's no reason to expect this of GW until they actually show some commitment to the Inquisition in 40k again.

Easily kitbashable? Why would you expect that of a GW character model? Most of them are fully monopose. There are a few characters that get lucky in that they have options in their kits, but even there you can't be sure that the joints are any kind of universal and bits interchangeable with other models from the same army. It's not something GW does a lot anymore.

So...basically 3rd edition books? Which fair, I love those books. I think the top of my wishlist would be to have the Inquisitorial Stormtroopers in plastic, those fantastic metal ones from 2000 I think? Over the years I've gathered close to 100 of them and I think I'd STILL pay out for some in plastic.

I remember what first drew me to Daemonhunters all those years ago was that it was so flexible since you could go all in on Grey Knights, or have an Inquisitor, their retinue and some Sormtroopers and then some allied Space Marines, or perhaps take some Grey Knights with inducted Guardsmen? While the book only had a handful of units, including I believe 'orbital strike', it just stoked 18 year old me's imagination. It also had the big page of "why might you be fighting x or y army" as well as the option of giving your opponent waves of daemons to throw at you to help explain your presence on the battlefield.

Interesting how you'd keep deathwatch independent but roll in GK. Unless you just forgot about them like GW does?

I didn't think about rolling the Grey Knights into it but it seems plausible. Add in Deathwatch and it helps to reign in codex releases they do not have near term plans for updated models.
