Valkyrion Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I can just about work out that a hereticus inquisitor might involve himself in malleus matters for chaos cults and the like, but there is still the proper OH/SoB codex if you want to field a relatively pure OH force. But why the OX? There is no way you can field a good, fluff, OX list using codex GK. Assassins and Henchmen, possibly a land raider and thats it. I understand that the OM might encounter aliens in pursuit of the daemons, and a OX inquisitor could add colour to such a force, but can you realistically make a OX army from Codex GK?

DinoDoc Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 A Henchman army can theoretically be from any Ordo. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224452-why-is-there-an-ordo-xenos-inquisitor/#findComment-2684284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrion Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 I realise that, but the OX doesn't fit with the GK theme, at all. It'd probably have been better waiting until the SoB codex as they are much more likely to interact given the GK highly specialised nature.

Baragash Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I have a range of scenarios for you: Option 1: Well, "realistically" ;) if an Inquisitor finds Daemons that need purging I doubt they'd go "hmm, I'm not Ordo Malleus, better go through a middle man to get me some GK", rather they go straight to the GK themselves. Option 2: GW aren't planning to update WH for a while but wanted to sell models. Option 3: GW aren't going to do an Ordo Xenos based Codex any time soon, but couldn't really think of a good reason Ordo Xenos would be present and not Ordo Hereticus in the GK book, so put all 3 in. Option 4: Expect to see all the Inquisitorial options also appear in the WH Codex as well. Option 5: Inquisitorial options in WH Codex to be removed and replaced by new Eccliastical (sp???) stuff Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224452-why-is-there-an-ordo-xenos-inquisitor/#findComment-2684345 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azezel Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Option 5: Inquisitorial options in WH Codex to be removed and replaced by new Eccliastical (sp???) stuff Which is ideal. All Inquisitorial nonsense is put in one book which can conceivably do anything (if you have some space marines and they are painted black, no one has the right to tell you they aren't Deathwatch.) And better yet, the Sisters don't have to share their codex with someone else's army. Everybody wins.
