codex:inquistion

[Fueldrop]

Possibly just have a few inquisitorial units and a note that they can be added to ANY imperial force, provided that one of your HQ choices is one of the inquisitors on the list.

[Mr Mystery]

I dunno. I'd like to see the option of adding highly specialised equipment to more generic units.

For example, a Radical Inquisitor could, if they wanted, replace Regimental Banners with ones that do Summoning.

More and more specialisation - that's what I wants!

[Path Walker]

I like the way it is now, you have tons of options for an Inquisitor and his closest retinue to add in to anything Imperial he can possibly requisition, the only thing missing for 40k would be the low down population of a Hive World, for example, which would be more like Chaos Cultists, but its great at the moment compared to how it has been before.

[Haighus]

There could be waaaaaay more customisation though. I think the current Codex is a good start, but there are some no-brainer options they have missed. For example, every Company level or above officer, and every Commissar in the IoM gets a Refractor field, but Inquisitors don't have the option? (Except Inquisitor Solomon Lok). To me, small things like this don't make sense. I made a small, homebrew codex idea based on available IoM equipment awhile ago, will see if I can find it.

Found it.
Probably needs some pts updates to bring in line with newer publications, and I can't remember if I had finished every option, but the range of options available to Inquisitors that I have there I feel should be available. (I am well aware some of the options seem superfluous, but they are mainly there for the rule of cool, similar to Marines being able to swap bolt pistols for chainswords even though that is a down grade)

It is possible for an Inquisitor in that list to have 2 pistols, a long-arm and a CCW of some kind. I thought it would look awesome... (and matches some of the available art-work for Inquisitors being loaded with weaponry).

Having just recently tried a randomly rolled Inquisitor for a RT 40k game, I'm happy with fewer options!

[phreakachu]

imho, inquisitors should get access to a rosarius provided they dont take a warband or retinue. it would also make me somewhat happy to have the option to take a medic, after all there is that super sexy hospitaller model.
but as far as the current dex goes, its pretty allright. i would include the option for stormtroopers ala scions, rather than plainjane mooks with hot shot guns... more options would be nice.
i hope that the inquisition dex remains the converters dex.. the lack of models really allows you to think outside the box. while not grand tourney legal, my inquisition force includes pieces from reaper, gw, privateer press and more esoteric producers to make a truly unique force.
it should stay this way.

[Haighus]

It annoys me though that I cannot make the Inquisitors in model form that I read about in BL books, or see in GW artwork, with the current Codex. It also annoys me the disparity in options between the different Ordos (I appreciate some equipment is specific, like Nemesis weaponry for example), such as only Malleus get Terminator armour, despite all 3 major Ordos getting access to Land Raiders? The other main thing that annoys me is as I already mentioned, that there is some very common IoM equipment Inquisitors cannot access, even though it would be very beneficial to them, like Refractor fields.

[Arkhan Land]

Yeah disparity in equipment kind of makes the unit to unit comparisson to other imperial units tough, sometimes downright more exspensive.

personally for me the inquisition support from GW means I can still field my arbites and plastic oop stormtroopers properly as wysiwyg rules which for me is a weird little important thing I like to do which is important in why "we" or many us field the inquisitors and instead of summarily sayign they sent x-massive unit into battle to do their bidding instead pursue it themselves

My arbites are expsensive and ineffective pointswise. but we still send them into battle along with our un-refractor-field-protected Imperial leadership because...

unlike other warlords and 40k players we believe in this ****

fluff is life, life is fluff

[Path Walker]

My inquisitor is currently fighting a campaign through the editions against the forces of Khorne loyal Space Marines, the current book allows me a lot more options than anything else except RT

[Alaric]

as far as models go the old GW ones are great and capture the essence of other-worldliness that comprises the inquisition. They are metal tho but some elbow grease can pretty them up. There are sales of them on ebay once in a while. For forgeworld the elysians and the hazardous environment cadians convert well, beware the elysians, they are spindly armed and legged.
