I miss inquisitor :(

Cities of Sigmar was going to be my guess, but you make a strong case for that Preacher, for sure.

clearly new epic's release went so well that GW is already well underway on the new Inquisitor edition

I think new Inquisitor would be good, but they'd be mad to release it at any scale other than 28mm these days. The potential options for Inq28 are vast across the current range.

The skull is obviously not 54mm, the teeth are poorly defined even compared to the skull basing sprue.

i don't see a reason in rereleasing Inquisitor without the old scale, since looking back that's one of the most interesting things about it

It massively limited the model range for a very sandbox RPG with a focus on personalised warbands. Whereas Inq28 has a much larger model range to choose from and people are more likely to collect stuff they can use with other systems. This is especially true for terrain- you can use your Necromunda or 40k or even AoS or Old World terrain if it is 28mm, but need a bespoke table for one game system otherwise.

54mm models is a big part of why Inquisitor wasn't very popular IMO.

that's fair enough; my perspective is that of a new player who only knows Inquisitor secondhand from reading about old stuff

Inquisitor was hella cool concept, but the scale was a dealbreaker to many. It required fully scrath building a completely new set of terrain, and for a game that really encouraged conversions, the limited range of big metal models was a poor fit.

Also, current 28mm models are way more detailed than when Inquisitor was released. They have almost as much detail than the 54mm models had.

Some sort of official Inquisimunda where you could have all sort of varied and wild warbands in 28mm scale would be my dream game, but I really don't think that is something a current GW with their "only rules for stuff that can be built from one box" would do.

But isn't Codex: Imperial Agents rumoured? I hope they make it a proper one, that allows at least some wild customisation, and support it with some new models.

And the SoB could use some plastic priests too, though if it was that I assume it would have been revealed alongside the Canoness and their new combat patrol.

Necromunda (and other specialist games) are an exception to this and include a lot of options that you can't necessarily build out of a single box

Inquisitor at 28mm can get bent. 54mm or nothing.

Plastics can also go to hell. Give me real models. Metal models.

They have recently re-cut Pious Vorne for that board-game to be on one sprue, so she's easily thrown out as a boxed release to fill that niche, especially since her loadout is one of the options for the priest, and one that no other miniature matches.

The big problem with the rumor pic is that brother Josef has a really cool iconic pose charging with the hammer in two hands, but if this is a remake he will apparently be holding a skullbox in one hand. So I suppose that leave him to a lame static pose raising the hammer with his bionic arm.

True.

But then the 28mm homage to the 54mm Sgt Stone is recognisably a homage (same weapon and aesthetic) but a very different post.

One of the downsides of the Inquisitor big-scale stuff was that the poses were a little over-dramatic in places. Barbaretta running headlong forward like that - and her body being all of one piece - was very annoying.

The scale itself was the main problem. Not just terrain, but for kit bashing.

Had they got conversion kits ready to go on launch? I think it might’ve lasted longer. The ones that released were amazing kits, and allowed me to create a squad of Guardsmen. Well. Demi-squad. But by then? It was just me, baby, just me.

Still wish I hadn’t sold them off when I did.

The later waves were better for conversion options, but having every rogue trader, every arbitrator and every space marine sprinting all out was very frustrating. Having the cyber-mastiff's legs all joined together was infuriating.

A Jackson Pollock.

Obviously a Gorkamorka grot wind-powered cart

Tattered cloth fits a lot of factions. It seems thicker then most tatters though. Not sure what that could be.

Possibly the only thing less faction ambiguous then a skull...

Also are they 3rd print layer lines at the top of it?

GW paint the pre-casting prototypes, and use rapid prototyping to print those. So yes, but the production model won’t be 3d printed.

Skaven Night Runners?

There is also "print lines" in the white background at the lower part of the picture, so its probably just the usual filter they use to give the engine pics some flavour to look like its generated on imperial tech equal to an early 80s computer monitor.

The Wight King on foot seems like a good choice to be replaced.

Anybody else get the impression of flayed skin from the texture?

There were also rumours about new Cairn Wraith.

that was my first thought, but i'm not sure skin would be so thick

Yes we can't have a character costing less than a family size pizza
