I'm looking for color scheme for Inquisitor and their fellow(?) imperial guard.

Tell me color scheme of imperial guards which attached to Inquisitor.

Also I'm interested in "Xanthism" "Polypsykana" and "Xeno Hybris" back grounds.
Those are really cool. If there is information otherthan this,

Please teach me.
And also if there is specific color scheme for those Radical Factions,teach me also.

Imperial Guard are sanctioned by Inquisitors to fight. In rare cases men of the Guard will be taken, mind-wiped, and taught how to fight again, though instinct and muscle-memory increase this process, and they will become an Inquisitorial force. These men, from what I know, wear very sparing colors, mostly greys and blacks, and are mind-wiped and retaught after each mission or simply hardened by what they see.

Otherwise, Guard are simply taken to be used then what's left is sent back to wherever the hell they go.

The Inquisition can call upon any Imperial Forces, usually as and when they need them so they will retain their own uniforms. For those units maintained by and for the strict use of the Inquisition then they can really have any uniform you want but Games Workshop have often depicted Inquisitorial Stormtroopers as having a red and black colour scheme. Radicalism with the Inquisition is about personal beliefs and practice, there is no uniform or colour scheme, all Inquisitors vary in their appearance.

Background on Xanthism can be found within the Inquisitor rulebook and there should be a downloadable copy on the Games Workshop website. As for the other two, you'll need to purchase a copy of Dark Heresy: Disciples of the Dark Gods.

Thx info!
I'll read inqusitor rule books first.

BTW,I've found elysian detachment force called D-99
Is other imperialguard which follow inquisitor called same rule?

**DerangdFlamingo**

The ravenor rogue book's got a nice little tid bit with inquisitorial troops in red and black, mine are red armour and gray fatigues (with black as a tertiary colour) it looks pretty good, especially on cadians

**Sir Motor**

Do you have photo of your mini? I'll pleased to see.

Any other info for Detachments?

**DerangdFlamingo**

no pics at the moment, sorry, am working on it.

Oh and theres an imperial armour book from forgeworld with all the rules for the elysian detachment and the Inq who commandeered them. its number 4, the anphelon project, its on this page: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog/QUATERMASTERS_STORE_IMPERIAL_ARMOUR_BOOKS_12.html

what you really need to do is get the omnibuses of Eisenhorn, Ravenor (both by Dan Abnett) for lots of interesting stuff about the forces of the Inquisition and their day to day running, and The inquisition war trilogy by jack yovil (i think) for more on the different sects in the inquisition. They're also all good books

**Sir Motor**

Thx info.

Which books should I start from?
As I said before,I'm intrested in "Radical" philosophies

And yeah....Any color scheme for inquisitor might help me decide my guard paint.

I'm thinking "Bestial Brown" on armor and helm
"Bleached Bone" on Cloth and trim with red. Emblem is gold.
Is it can be inquisitorial color?

**DerangdFlamingo**

seems to work, red and white are popular colour's amongst inquisitorial forces.

As for the books, the Eisenhorn ones the best to start with, it follows an inquisitor as he starts out as a puritan working with other inquisitors (of different ordos and beliefs) as he hunts other, more radical, inquisitor's and heretics and follows his gradual fall to radicalism

**Kanluwen**

Putting it simply:
Alot of Abnett's coloring on the units in the Inquisitor novels are from worlds that seem to "shun" camouflage or wear colors that are very similar to the noble houses of their planets.

The general rule of thumb is that the Guard don't have to repaint their armor or anything like that, but they tend to be given an Inquisitorial signifer to attach to their armor/fatigues to designate their secondment. The Vraks Space Marine transfers, specifically the Red Hunters Chapter ones would look FANTASTIC in that role.
