God damn, new Coteaz is ugly. Even the new one, with the silly flaming sword, is tolerable compared to this monstrosity.
And then there used to be Hector fething Rex from Forge World.
Eh, just just as I've always said, FW sculpting>GW sculpting.

**Gibblets**

Coteaz looks like they made a set of seniors depends power armour for either the Baron Harkonnen or the Fat Bastard from Austin Powers.

**Gert**

Wasn't he bald before? Benefits of de-aging tech I guess.

The art they're using for this book has him balding with long wispy hair. The resin sculpt is indeed bald.

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.

Thanks for this. Had a good chuckle.

He has an expression like someone who just realized that he dumped in his power armor but forgot to hook in the waste recycling unit. A really, really bad sculpt.

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.

GW has never handled any of the agents factions consistently. Agents list in 2nd ed plus the SoB book, two different books in 3rd edition, assassins had their own books at times but would also show up in codexes. rogue traders having their own book once, and then also the legion of the damned. if you want to build around anything in Agents, the safest bet is to assume there will be no consistency whatsoever

Glad to see that they have a proper book and it seems there are many different ways to play them, either as allies or standalone, so that's good.

Coteaz looks weird. Very cartoony. I'm interest in seeing whether skilled converters can do something cool with the model.

I am also disappointed that there is no new kit for normal inquisitors, and it makes me worried for the longevity of their existence in the rules.

Oh... I know. I have dozens of models from previous failures. The question this time is how much of an investment in models this takes to run and how many potential models fall by the wayside if/when GW changes their mind again.

They display Puritan Hat McFlamey in the article, so hopefully that's an indicator that that model will be sticking around, at lest.

Sure. For now.

His new 'hair' is completely smooth and flat with no detail, so maybe Coteaz has just used paint or is wearing a piece of plastic/rubber ontop of his head to give the illusion of having hair. Being an Inquisitor Lord, no ones going to tell him that it doesn't work and just looks silly.

Oh. Oh dear me. No, I think I can live without Inquisitor Leftenover Stormcastian.

**Olthannon**

I feel like this is one of the few GW sculpts where I've not really seen much positivity. (beyond the bird looking nice).

**Flinty**

Surely the best thing ever is for GW not to release new inquisitor models so people can make their own ones up. Alternatively, ask ally the whole of the Necromunda resin line would make for pretty awesome inquisitors.

**Fayric**

Part of me love that they did coteaz as an old chunky guy that wear soft roamy armour -that happen to old men after all, and its been some considerable time (in fluff years) since that older sculpt.
But obviously, its not a model most people will want to use.
And when you seriously consider using a stormcast as stand in for Coteaz, you know the sculpt is in in a bad place.

**MajorWesJanson**

I am mixed on new Coteaz. May add some bits from grey knight and black templar sprues to give him back his bling.

I'd actually agree with this if the face sold that image better.

And changing his head, letting the eagle not damaging its wings while flying over a ruin... it's just too much. When you look at a model and don't think 'I can improve it' but 'maybe I can rescue it' it's far too late.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Is he meant to be in some sort of Artificer Armour ? That might explain the odd 'he ate all the pies' take on his looks

(no real forgiving the face though)

Especially considering what GW is asking for these single models these days. If it was a 9€ model, yeah whatever, buy it to chop it, but for 35€? Go away.

He was in artificer armour (one presumes the same suit!) before...

Yeah, but I think they fitted this armour over his original suit.

Nah, his new armor ate the old one.

**Hulksmash**

I wonder how they are going to make it an actual functional army. None of the units they're showing have any real anti tank as the units they've mentioned would have trouble killing a sentinel out of combat. I'm assuming some kind of inducted guard type units for fire support but I guess we'll see. That's if they aren't producing any cool transport/support vehicle for the army. A kit like the GSC transport/tank would be ideal.

**Gibblets**

It doesn't matter what it is the whales will buy this and do some conversion work to make it something you'd want to look at or just leave it in the pack.

Are these whales in the room with you now?

While the Sisters box will probably sell because people want the tank, the other two boxes are going to be competing with the Kroot one for which battleforce gets left collecting dust on FLGS shelves longest.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Whales = anyone with a differing opinion.

Looking at Coteaz, I think what’s bugging my eyes is that strap across his chest is really, really wide

In other pics he’s clearly quite a big fella - so it may be in better context he looks a bit better.

**Overread**

Yeah esp in the image on the main community website it really makes that belt look huge on him.

**RaptorusRex**

Why did they feel the need to overly differentiate that human-worn power armor from the transhuman stuff?
