Soup book. The article says Grey Knights get their own book some point later.

This codex feels so hamfisted, sorry inquistion lovers, but i think it shouldve been a soup only faction.

Kinda cool to see them repurpose the Blackstone Fortress models. Always liked the Navigator

Is that a 30k Tank in the Ordo Malleus set?

Just a Chimera, but not sure if it's an old conversion or if there's some additional sprue for a turret bolter.

You can tell that from a single article?

There will be no Codex Deathwatch, they are regular marines now. This doesn’t affect grey knights or sisters at all.

soup. AdSor already have their codex, and it says in the article that GK are getting their own codex later

we've seen one of the detachments from the codex, and it's the only one that doesn't relate to the inquisition. it's unreasonable to make a judgement already based on that

It replaces Codex Deathwatch, not Grey Knights (who are getting their own codex) or Sisters (who already have one).

You can take a squad of Grey Knights or Sisters without needing another detachment essentially, in a similar way to how Genestealer Cult Brood Brothers used to work. But standalone armies for those factions will continue to work as is.

Deathwatch will need you to take a detachment from this and one from Codex Space Marines to work as a standalone army, unless there is some allowance not mentioned here.

That new Coteaz miniature just looks terrible. There's not a single thing about it that doesn't look worse than the original. Everything from the armour design with it lacking detail as if they forgot to finish the model, the proportions, the head completely changing the feel of him, to the bird just being yet another generic flying bird pose just seems like a downgrade.

So I’m guessing that the kill team will be deathwatch veterans only (no terminators, vanvets etc) as they’re not in the box they sell. No real issue there, I just need to figure out how my current Deathwatch will best be played (probably Gladius).

gladius souping vets is probably going to be fine

So basically it looks like all the Primaris DW units are basically vanishing?

I wish that exclusive Inquisitor was re-released. More plastic options isn't a bad thing

Damn, talk about a downgrade. The original had a good solid pose to it, this new one.. 👎🏻

Yes.

Kinda funny that they just repeated the Inquisitorial Agent models in the malleus box instead of using the second build option some of the models have

Wow, Coteaz got fat. It's not easy to compete with the excellent original, but to fail so hard at it? Very unfortunate.

Coteaz just gets worse the more I look at him. Compare him to the brand spanking new Sigmarines and he's a hollow shell of a model. He's lost all of his menace, and is basically bling-less. Can't be a proper Inquisitor without some proper bling. Also, that belt holding his cloak on is about 6 inches wide.

It's so much less than expected, even for a bottom-tier army book that (apparently) the current studio has no interest in building as an army.

Well, I've got the resin Coteaz so I'm happy there.

Overall, I'm just glad we finally know. I'll rework my marines as an omni-chapter and depending on how this book turns out, I might make something from it. I've always wanted to run the Inquisition as an army and I get my wish. I just need to see that its something that will actually see support and not get abandoned in a year or two.

Coteaz is terrible. Looks like a bad cosplay of the original model. Why does it have vaguely Space Marine proportions, except done badly? So many why's...

Looks like I still need to track down a metal Coteaz...

The current Chimera kit (from 5th edition) has the option for turret multilaser, heavy bolter, or heavy flamer on the sprues. It just looks like the current kit with an Inquisition paintjob.

Despite the fact that its out decades and my regular opponent has that model I never once noticed that his bird has 2 heads somehow.

Oh and new one is.terrible.

Wish they had made a Tyrus model instead

Dayum. My boy Cortez has been on the pies.

Probably just a bad angle... A very bad angle.

Those with full Deathwatch Space Marine armies needn’t worry – they can add the Deathwatch-specific units to a Space Marine army of black-clad units like Intercessors

Because Intercessors is probably the only part of the army that you can still use after every one had to redo their squads after the index... No im not bitter what makes you think that?

How many bad angles are on him exactly?

(I really am a bit worried about the 40K studio's model output at the moment tbh. It does not feel like it's in the best place? At least in the 90s when you got a stinker it was due to a rushed production or a mistake but GW need to have a think about their editorial control on some of the plastic kits before going into production IMO.)

I am amazed they didn't at least roll out a plastic Inquisitor kit for this. Seems like the big missing piece for these armies.

This. But then again they didn't do a good job with plastic HQ for quite some time.

As a miniature, I don't dislike it. Pretty minimalist for a GW model, but as an "update/upgrade" to the metal version, its pretty bad. Went from a grizzled mean mugging bald head, to a head that looks like a generic Space Marine Sergeant that's been on every sprue for the past 20 years.

Why? Do you hate Tyrus that much?

Ho boy, that is one incredibly ugly sculpt. Is it the same person that made the mkvi assault marines by any chance? I shudder to think about what they are charging for this monstrosity.
Honestly, between this and the laughable Tyranid attack gateway boxset that just dropped, I think GW HQ have finally, properly lost the plot.
