Inquisitor Jenita Huln by ortsmor

Why don't the other ordos like the hereticus?

They’re seen as overzealous and shriek-y, to put it simply. Imagine a mixed Ordo meeting. The Malleus is talking about a chaos cult whose activity is building to summoning a greater daemon in a city centre, and a covert operation to take them out. The Ordo Xenos are providing additional intel that the whole thing is being machinated by a cabal of Drukhari who are using the event as a distraction to take something specific from the planet during the planned havoc.

Then one of the Hereticus pipes up to say “You know who are REALLY to blame for this? PSYKERS.”

Several Psyker Inquisitors present raise an eyebrow, but the sweating man, Inquisitor Lord Salem, isn’t done.

“Also MUTANTS. I suggest that we start rounding up anyone who suffers from headaches or has an EXTRA TOE, just in case. Then we BURN THEM ALIVE. PUBLICLY. And we should broadcast it over loudspeakers to inspire FEAR OF THE GOD EMPEROR in these other heretics. That will show them.”

Several other members of the Hereticus are nodding furiously in agreement. One is lovingly cooing to a heavy flamer sat on a nearby table.

A member of the Malleus thunks their head onto the table and tiredly asks a servitor to bring more recaf. And a horse tranquilliser.

Deathwatch: First Founding

by Michael Phillippi

They aren't allowed to leave my party.

The results of what I would like to call Guard January, it just so happens this month I ended up painting a bunch of random Guard models, both old and new.

In order of appearance: -Kalitiya Al Makouma, Military Police Investigator turned Inquisitorial Retinue member after discovering a Genestealer cult in her regiment. She's part of the same Ordo Xenos team as Mord and Zex Al'Dakiz and Raphael Qvele.

-Severine Roodeker, lord militant to Rogue Trader Captain Tarriel Eleonora Corvinius. My character from the Wrath & Glory campaign featuring Alena. Her only real achievement, beyond nearly dying multiple times due to stupid crits, was killing the final boss with two lucky shots with a bolt pistol. Two of those crits led to her losing an arm and a leg, during separate incidents (the leg was ripped off by Khrave clone). The arm is a Wraithbone prosthesis, a gift from an Eldar Corsair for saving his skin and the leg was replaced by an AdMech prosthesis. The latter I didn't model because it'd require a lot of cutting, and Skitarii legs look too thin.

-Lieutenants Sasha Mearghuv, from a so far unnamed regiment. The base model is the Minka Lesk one, with a Wargames Atlantic Cannon Fodder 2 head instead of the regular one. (Same with both Kali and Sev.) First time I had the chance to paint one of the new Cadians, instead of just old ones. The colour scheme is WW2 GI, even if realised that's really similar to the Cadian 8th one, even if painting the pants a different colour does wonders I feel. Really hate how tied up she is to the overly big hero rock. But otherwise I do enjoy the new Cadian aesthetic when they don't have their odd helmets and non M36 rifles.

-Trooper Totterpole, from another unnamed regiment. This one is a straight up unmodified old Cadian Shock Trooper, using one of the few upgrade sprue heads I managed to get ahold off. He was meant to be painted up as a Vietnam Marine, but I quickly discovered that the old Cadians have too much armor to make that work, so on my third attempt I improvised with the armor colours. Which ended up pretty decent. The base is 'jungle', probably need to get some better materials for that in the future.

one of the WhoHammer Daleks' weapons is what amounts to a Genesis Ark fired as an artillery shell, linked to a pocket dimension whose sole purpose is manufacturing and distributing cannon fodder Daleks

for the sake of avoiding capture, the shell is basically a miniature fortress with Special Weapons Dalek guns, and contains a 5-gigaton shaped Cobalt-Thorium G warhead

anyone survives the massive killzone around it, the crew on the other side of the linkage disconnects the gate, sends the detonation signal, and there's about five hours until that planet becomes cut-rate starliner fuel

Character portraits I did for a wrath and glory campaign I'm in! In order: my interrogator, Gallianus von Dahl; serberys skitarii Quotient-TP-7 as created by @an-excess-of-eyes ; sister repentia Nihlica Decimara as created by @mylithlyfearion ; and ogryn Gorge as created by her brother mark!

Very intrigued about the fact that you can hire a Drukhari as a companion in Rogue Trader

Like it’s the equivalent of having a ticking time bomb on your ship and you know it will go off and every time it does at least 50 people wind up dead but you still decide to keep it around

I can totally see the how the “hot goth elf” thing won a lot of newcomers over but hoo boy

Deathwatch - Rites of Battle Cover Art by Michael Philippi

Thought of the Day: Life is the Emperor's currency, spend it well

How would the Imperium fare if the Inquisition vanished? Would it thrive or crumble

If their respective orders militant vanished as well? They’d have a much worse time, no brainer. If just the Inquisitors vanished? More mixed, but still not great. There’d be less errantly dangerous, unhinged gambles there to impact random people, but there’d also be a large decrease in the flow of new information being distributed around the Imperium. The Inquisition are shitheads, but the Imperium is so large and badly connected and generally awfully handled that the shadowy evil order does actually help it function.

I’ve gotten done with another model for my little Inquisitorial Warband for 40k, a Death Cult Assassin.

The weekend is terminator time. A ranged support squad really for a teleport strike.

Lead by a black shield who arrived at the watch fortress clad in a plate of terminator armour with no shoulder pauldrons, he has taken the deathwatch as his one and only chapter, choosing to place this where his home chapters iconography would normally be. The left shoulder has been left a blank black, save for the high gothic 'Pious' as a indicator of his sole commitment to his duty to the long vigil.
