Shaolin_Monkey Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Question for the brotherhood, exactly as the title says. I'm in the process of building a long term Inquisition project and love the idea of them enacting their wrath from a Thunderhawk. Do the Inquisition have Thinderhawks at all anywhere in the fluff? I'm not talking just a requisitioned one or a GK one either, but an actual Inquisition maintained and operated one. If not what would be the closest they would have? I'm looking for some kind of large flyer that could carry a couple of Inquisitors and their reapective warbands and be emblazoned with the =I= everywhere.

Teetengee Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 They're the inquisition, I'm sure they could have one, if they asked really nicely.

Shaolin_Monkey Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Yeah I figure there is no reason they wouldn't just requisition one of they wanted it, guess I was more wondering if there was any examples of any in fluff etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301724-do-inquisition-thunderhawks-exist/#findComment-3914425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Logic says if they have their own Rhinos/Raiders, it makes sense to have the transports designed to carry them. That said, there are probably thousands of different landing craft designs throughout the Imperium, any of which the Inquisitor in question could have got his hands on, so you're pretty much free to build whatever you want...

WarriorFish Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Maybe they helped saved a Forge World and got/"asked for" a reward? Or maybe a long downed Marine one was secretly recovered and painted black? As LySi said anything can go really, the answer is in your imagination ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301724-do-inquisition-thunderhawks-exist/#findComment-3914758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
librisrouge Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I've said it before, I'll say it again: "You be the one to tell them they can't." The Inquisition can basically have anything they physically can use. That means that strictly marine gear might be out unless they have marines around (*cough* Red Hunters *cough* Deathwatch *cough*) I have got to deal with that cold.

WarriorFish Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 That cough sounds off, would you mind being scanned for signs of heresy? Of course you don't, after all you have nothing to hide... right?

Shaolin_Monkey Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Yeah I accept all the reasons for them just saying: "I need your Power Armour, Your boots and you Thunderhawk." I just figure that they would tend to be decked out as the chapter or whoever they took them from. What I want is a fully Inquisitorialised TH, packed with their insignia to cause dampened pants in the ranks of the heretics. I'm not sure whether they would go the effort of converting/installing that kind of stuff on "requisitioned" material.

pathatrick Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I'm sure they can call up any of the forgeworlds that produce thunderhawks and custom order one with leather heated seats, free of charge.

*Furyou Miko Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 "The Inquisition" does not maintain a stock of anything, except possibly carapace armour and valkyries at major facilities such as the Sector Headquarters buildings and Terra. An individual Inquisitor, on the other hand, once they have built up enough experience, renown and resources, and who can travel to a Forge World that retains the ability to make Thunderhawks (they're few and far between, Thunderhawks are relic artifacts for the most part) could get themselves one all done up in their own livery... with heated leather seats, as Pathatrick says.

Shaolin_Monkey Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 So now I feel like I want to make a thunderhawk with tiny heated leather seats. Just need find leather seats that small and work out how to heat them....

Luther - the fallen Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 a bit late, but page 205 in IA2 (First edition at least) has a draw pic of a thunderhawk in the bottom of the page with a note stating it's a drawing of "Inquisitorial Armoured Shuttle Thunderhawk variant" used for Inquisitor Lords. So yes. the Inquisition has access to Thunderhawks ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301724-do-inquisition-thunderhawks-exist/#findComment-3927779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
