Show me a better model to use as my Inquisitor

It's its own miniature. Some Russian guy makes it, which a select few others including some from other franchises and busts.

Pretty sure this one is a 1:1 of Inquisitor Eisenhorn.

It would be even better if the Inquisitor was a descendant of a prominent Solar Auxilia Lord General.

BE PURE
BE VIGILANT
BEHAVE

...

Every kitbashed Inquisitor I've seen on Veeky Forums has just been a space marine without a helmet

Its Eisenhorn.The original was a 54mm version from the old Inquisitor game.

To be fair that had been the case even on WD for some time

I mean, if you're an Inquisitor you better damn wear some custom made, artificer tier power armor. You're a representative of the Inquisition, not some Astra Militarum chump.

this old but still available warhammer fantasy model

Currently, the only Inquisitors in power Armor are Coteaz and Greyfax, and one sits on a Dreadnought.

The only option for heavier armor for Inquisitors is for Ordo Malleus, who can be purchased as normal Inquisitors or buy their special profile for Terminator armor.

Seems that most Inquisitors wear carapace-equivalent armor, probably because they favor mobility and tend to do more investigative work or skirmish combat, rather than frontlining campaigns. Seems that Ordo Malleus operates a bit differently since they've got to tackle Daemons directly and they either have to work in secrecy or mind-wipe/murder anyone who works alongside them.

one of the best latest models i must say

Amberly in the Caiphas Cain books has power armour, though it is BL, so only semi-canon.

>Currently, the only Inquisitors in power Armor are Coteaz and Greyfax

This is stupid. Inquisitors used to be able to wear whatever they want and have all sorts of fun gadgets and toys. I love 8th edition but they really pushed aside the non space marine human faction in their indexes. Here's me hoping the Inquisition codex that will never come will fix this.
At least in Shadow War the Xeno inquisitor can wear power armor and have *some* nifty gadgets.

This is also artificer armor

Paint them white

seconding this

That tech priest in the back is freakin terrifying.

>huuuuuuurrrrrr

I was only counting GW Indexes, but going by Forgeworld, any armor more protective than carapace is held by Characters with the exception of Ordo Malleus in Terminator Armor.

>Seems that most Inquisitors wear carapace-equivalent armor, probably because they favor mobility and tend to do more investigative work or skirmish combat, rather than frontlining campaigns.

Yes, but when those frontline campaigns happen (the thing that the primary 40k ruleset is intended for), they often wear power armor for its protection.

>when you cant read shit but you ask your acolyte for the printed reports anyway

Pretty sure power armor grants you enhanced mobility plus all that sweet air conditioned environmentally controlled goodness. Plus since it's powered it don't weigh you down.

Making them a varied force with a whole lot of options would be neat again, though I think it would have added extra baggage to try and balance for 8e, and they kind of had to churn out these Indexes, it's why we have so much FAQ to catch those errors. Still, it is putting a damper on a campaign I'm planning, which is Kill Team in the style of AoS's fan-made Hinterlands skirmish game. Inquisitors should rightly be some of the most customizable units in the game.

My solution is to have teams decide on a number of [Requisition Points] to start with (and possibly earned through games), which can be used to break unit-building rules. You can use them to substitute one available weapon option with another, either from the same Index Section/Codex or from a unit that shares a Faction Keyword (barring unique characters and vehicle options). So in my case, my Specialist Inquisitor is replacing their option to buy a melee weapon with the option to buy a second Plasma Pistol, turning them into a deadly gunslinger at short range.

Also, the "Faction Alchemy" that the Hinterlands Inq28 supplement grants, allowing you to exchange all instances of one faction keyword with another. Mostly so if you want to take a support unit, you can have them tag along with minimal fuss over whether or not they actually can heal one unit or another.

That's terminator armor isn't it

89 holy shit same as ur digies

Just when I thought I'd found the last one I noticed more, bravo Adrian Smith

We have a winner.

That's a better Rogue Trader, he just needs a fancy hat.

Steal a loose one off the Empire Greatswords.

>power armor grants you enhanced mobility
Only with the black carapace. Otherwise it's basically just there for the strength enhancement and protective benefits.

I used to run Female Guardsman With Lasgun as one, back in the day.

Then a Genestealer Cult got her. Very sad. A great loss to the Imperium.

However, if you want a great Inquisitor model...

...you could do worse than track one of these glorious bastards down.

Well, yeah, but it and the rest of your equipment weigh nothing to you while it's switched on.

Why? To be edgy instead of fucking awesome?

Why do I suspect both these posts are the same person...

Mind-Impulse Units also serve this purpose so unmodified humans can use power armor like astartes do, though it comes with none of the other benefits that the Black Carapace gives.

...

I would very much like to see some of the more eclectic Ordos represented, or at least some of the weirder characters among them. Let's get Blanchitsu up in this.

Barring that, a few different plastic Inquisitor clampacks, or a multipart small box like what Empire Wizards have.

Why make it complicated when you havr this handsome bastard right there. I mean look at him, how can he not be the best Inquisitor model ever produced?

Well, with a 40k scale Artemis running around, and Covenent getting a novel with Josef and Van Castellan, maybe we'll see more imports from Inquisitor.

Wait Castellan is getting a book?

Covenant is getting one that I know of.

It's not like they have any standatized equipment aside the rosette. In fluff they can use whatever they can get.
Obviously this is toned down for gameplay porposes.

True. I assume there must be a baseline somewhere. Still, they're all individuals and weirdos, but I would think that a general kit has sort of been established as a kind of all-comers loadout.

Seems like the stock-standard bolt pistol paired with a power sword seems to be pretty common, probably because it gives you a powerful and reliable pistol along with a powerful and reliable power weapon. After that it's a trenchcoat or robes because that's what other people around you wear and you're trying to blend in.

Well, that's all mostly for Hereticus. Xenos and Malleus Inquisitors are generally not trying to blend in, and are more often slogging knee-deep through alien/daemon blood/ichor.

Anyone have an actual source that isn't "Some russian guy"? I know it's not BV.

Search eBay for 40k Inquisitors. You should find it among the results, as there are, sadly, few of them.

Tried that, unfortunately. Came up with nil.

Haven't found the guy anywhere else but there. Try refining the search to Buy It Now only items. Otherwise, I'm out of advice.

The FW Ordo Xenos inquisitor fig looks really good, although I don't think they make it anymore.

The new inquisitor rules SUCK. There is literally no reason to take anything but a special character.

4+ save Joe Jhonson random inquisitor, with worse stats and weapons, costs more than 2+ save double psyker Cotez

I like the idea of her for a radical ordo xenos inquisitor

was not expecting that

he's still there.

>No hat

2/10

What if I told you that the hair was the hat?

Ironically...I expected that.

Sorry; my fellow Burgerlanders have a very specific sense of humor, and no real idea the rest of the world exists.

I remember his debut.

Search "Primaris Psyker" on ebay. It'll be one of the top results. I keep seeing him.

what.
Is that a silver painted stormtrooper helmet?

Are there any suitable substitutes for commissars? MUST they have a hat? I'm having such a hard time finding heads that look nice or different but WITH a hat of the sorts.

Any links to find good commissar heads would be nice too thanks.

>commissar without a hat
It's like you want the heretics to win.

that one officer head from the cadian command squad does it for me.
And its rather cheap on bitz-sites

I know the head is small but painted black makes it stand out enough

and yes, they must have a hat.

This model was always the best in my eyes. Stupid to make it Limited

But finding good hat conversion bits is.. so hard!
