Panzerkopf Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Right now, I'm in the mood to prepare for the worst. Both codices are two editions behind, they're being rendered into PDFs with no changes to the rules but the removal of a powerful asset, models are becoming unavailable, and we have no really solid news as to what the future holds. Some optimistic souls see these developments as signs that a new book is on the horizon, but this is based only on extrapolation from current events and past trends and isn't reliable. Thus, I feel now that our best course of action is to assume that our armies will be liquidated and to plan around that. That being said, what should we do if the Inquisition is left to whither on the vine? In the case of my Sisters, I would soldier on with the 3rd edition codex until the point that it becomes entirely unplayable. At which point I would make them a Space Marine counts-as army of some form or another. Anyone else have ideas?

boreas Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Well, I guess, I'll try and get as much from eBay as I can. I'll keep building my Necrons and Tau (yeah, as you can see, I'm really good at choosing codice :rolleyes: ). My gaming group is rather opend to playing with anything printed by GW (or from the website), like IA, etc. But fandex and extensive houserules are not.

Obliterator Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 The Inquisition helps shape the 40k universe as much as say the Astartes legions. I personally don't feel they will scrap those armies any time soon, I think we should expect a new codex book like Eldar and Chaos, where all individual flavours of the Inquisition will be picked as units, not as a coherent army (like a GKGM, 2 units of SOBS, a penitent engine and an elite unit of Deathwatch to make up your core army). Mind you, I'm not saying this new codex will reach us any time soon, but I suspect they're preparing a major overhaul, including new minis and all. It is my oppinion that GW simply didn't have time for such a project because of the new WHFB release, and will unleash something for 40k that takes considerably less effort to release for the current edition. But if I'm wrong, I'll be playing my Sisters' current rules until kingdom come...

Panzerkopf Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 I already play too many games. Flames of War, Anima Tactics, and soon Micro Armor, Heavy Gear Blitz, Infinity, and maybe some day even Dark Age. Not to mention RPGs. Besides, I don't like Warmachine.

When and if that time comes, I'll look at what options I might have for continued use of the army. Failing that it will probably be worth a penny or two as a collectors piece.

Judanas Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 If they scap the Inquisition, play demons. only seems fitting :) Win a lot, say "Oh, no, Daemons are unstoppable, if only there were some groups that could defeat the deamons and thier cultists...some form of hunters...Deamon Hunters if you will." Or play Eldar, do the same with Witchhunters.

WAR Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I have faith Sisters will be around but the Inquistion...... I don't know. I will play 40k for as long as I can but my main armies have always been Sisters and Marines so I will be around for a while. I have played other war-games and still play Necromunda on occasions and I actually perfer GW rule sets compared to most. And I think that has more to do with fluff than anything.

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 The inquisition is something that's too far ingrained into the fluff to go the way of the squats or chaos dwarves. They know that Grey Knights and SoB sell, so there is always scope to bring them back, the fact that there are .pdfs I actually think is quite encouraging.

Uncle Mel Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 if and I mean IF the =][= is cancelled I'll buy even more! everyone will ditch their stuff on e-bay so I'll buy cheap. I still love the models. And I'll just continue playing the models under a different dex.

Hfran Morkai Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 The Space Wolves PDF (as mentioned above) was only available from GW Canada if you emailed them. The fact that the Inquisition 'dexes are easier to access intrigues me and I only hope we see some new dexes soon.

Brovius Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 @Mikal True, but Blood Angels had an accessible PDF also. I still have my hopes that GKs will make it back onto the tabletop and have some competitive rules to help them. I just don't want both of my armies to be nerfed with their 5th edition codices. It's already happened to my beloved Tyranids :'( It won't happen to the GKs too, i'm sure of it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206336-what-should-we-do-if-gw-kills-the-inquisition/#findComment-2462409 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the Blood Angels! :lol: I agree; there's no chance of the Inquisition getting wiped out of the fluff. The fact that the 40k RPGs are very heavily focused on the Inquisition is also probably an encouraging sign; I expect new Inquisition codices could bring a fair number of Dark Heresy and Deathwatch players into playing tabletop as well.

Gentlemanloser Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Some would say, with the removal of Allies and Inducted Units, and the, official, ruling on using the PDF over the Codex (go go ToS), they've done just that... :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206336-what-should-we-do-if-gw-kills-the-inquisition/#findComment-2462588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
boreas Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 The =I= is pretty important to the fluff... But then again, GW has demonstrated again and again that Fluff is not a big deal to them. The Adeptus Mechanicus are pretty important too, and yet no codex. Sisters of Battle are not a Black Library top-seller. Actually, when discussed in a non-=I=-players boards (ie warseer's general discussion board), lots of players think that the =I= has no place on tabletop. The different chambers militant, according to them, don't have enough presence on the battlefield and the Inquisitors work behind the scenes. There are quite a lot of players that would see us disappear in favor of having the Tau, CSM, Necrons and Eldar/DE getting quicker updates...

mlund Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Well, I guess I'd have to take my Inquisition forces off this board. The best option I'd have it that point is to run Inquisition out of the Imperial Guard - Primaris Psyker for the Inquisitior, Stormtroopers for Stormtroopers, Vets. for Arbites and go from there. Daemonhosts and Chambers Militant would be entirely hosed, though. ;) - Marty Lund Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206336-what-should-we-do-if-gw-kills-the-inquisition/#findComment-2462721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
