Hey guys, With 2011 drawing to a close, we're about six months away from the INQvitational. I thought it would be good if we had one consolidated thread where we could put up pictures of what we're taking, discuss concepts, talk through character profiles and also include any scenery that's being brought to the day. I'll be editing this first post further as the thread grows to keep track of everything, but I thought it would be useful to start the thread now. INQvitational 2012

Well at the moment I'm working on two warbands on the basis that I'll bring one with me to the Inqvitational. Background wise the two are linked so it works to go forward with both at the same time, plus it gives Molotov a choice based on how other warbands come together. The Radicals Willem Nathin – Radical Ordo Malleus Xanthite Inquisitor Pistol, flak armour or better (chest and arms), power sword Skills: Lightning Reflexes, Sorcerer Member of Scholarite at Arms. Connected to the Helios Cabal’s Librarium? Hunts down prophesies relating to future daemon incursions and works to stop them. Ruthless and has sacrificed many to thwart the prophecies. Consulted the dismal texts Nathin rebuilding after losing a circle of agents ![]() Carno -Torturer/Scout Laspistol, bionic eye or rangefinder, knives, chainsword, drugs, flak vest, Servoskull Medic Offers nice or not nice as options – nice is the drugs, not nice is slicing skin and bits off. Hired out his skills to Nathin, having had basic training as an Explicator. ![]() Darrius Criid -Gunrunner Flak armour, shuriken catapult, Kroot pistol Specialises in smuggling exotic imperial and alien weaponry. Working with Nathin, providing contacts and jointly sharing some resources ![]() Darrius in progress at the moment. Morden Orbest - Magos Jezzail, blade Khamrian philosophy – seeking AI and thus working with Nathin. Pro Xenos Cyber mantle ![]() In progress being built. Huntress in the darkness -Daemonhost Bound in the body of a noblewoman who had sought to summon the daemon for her own purposes along with the cult she ran. Nathin had researched the daemon and realised it was a useful resource so subverted the ritual for his own purposes and bound the daemon to his service. ![]() The only finished model. Need to stat her up and write a lot more on her background as her previous life is the source of a lot of the conflict between the two warbands. Voidborn Warden Power maul, shotgun Very religious. Carries small portable shrine that he sets up and prays at every day. Each planet he visits he tries to get the priest there to bless his weapons. Recruited by Nathin recently and has almost taken it upon himself to try and save him. Whether Nathin will allow this to happen or tire He stays as far away from the Daemonhost as possible, which Huntress enjoys taunting his fear and ill – ease. ![]() Need one more character as the Thief character I had I felt didn't really fit. And the good guys Inquisitor Tybalt - Psyker Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Auspex, pistol, mesh lined robes, anointed hammer Sign language, Psyker – Banishment? Born with psychic ability Tybalt was taken at an early age when a routine scan found his ability. Taken to the Black ships he was seemingly fast tracked and then placed in the Hunting Nathin ![]() Next onto the painting board, particularly because the green work I'm doing on Serren will be replicated in his robes. Serren - Interrogator, Ordo Malleus Bolt pistol, flak armour (except head), blessed sword (Master crafted special rule, auto crits characters considered of evil intent (GM discretion), and immunity to being destroyed by power weapons) Lightning Reflexes, Minor Psyker?, Sign Language Tybalt took in Serren to try and replicate his training and upbringing. She is extremely dedicated to him, though sometimes feels he holds her back. However more recently she has been tasked with leading investigations on her own as Tybalt looks to see whether her skills are forming under his tutelage. ![]() Serren on the painting table at the moment. Mortemer - Savant - Lector Cybernetics, laspistol Sign language, Technological access, Faced with an infernal servant of the Ruinous powers, an adept is often able to recall obscure details of its nature that allows his companions to target a weakness ![]() Saul Kraye - EX PDF Sergeant now Mercenary Autogun, Flak armour (except head), Sword Tracker Trying to help save the soul of Lady (aka the Huntress) ![]() Vacetti – Wayfarer Priest Exterminator, Vacetti is a member of the Wayfarers, a group of warrior priests who travel pilgrim routes protecting the defenceless. Became involved with Tybalt Carrying around text which Nathin wants. Within the text is a string of prophecy which has not been spotted during Mortemer's research. ![]() Female Enforcer Cyberhound ![]() In progress. Desparately need to find a head for her. ![]() Hound. |

Looking good. Just don't like the Warden's arms' pose and the position of Vacetti's torso, to be honest. They seem kind of unnatural. |

The first of the retinues of mine that'll be coming to the INQvitational. Inquisitor Adorno is a radical of the Xanthite philosophy who foolishly believes that the dark powers of Chaos can (and must) be harnessed to defeat Chaos itself. Despite enduring tremendous hardships and horrific accidents in his quest, Adorno only remains more adamant that he is right. Inquisitor Theodor Adorno "Mourn" Banner Chrono-Gladiator Seraphael, the Whisperprince This retinue may change, as I might be putting Banner into Inquisitor Hoth's retinue (though that might not occur until after the INQvitational, explaining why Hoth has the information to follow Adorno to Nova Castille.) Obviously i doesn't number six figures, either! I'll put up Inquisitor Hoth's retinue at some stage also, along with the forces of Inquisitor Balthier being taken by my friend Nick.

They do come in a wide range of colours, but the precise selection you'll get isn't predictable. Sometimes it's been mostly grey, others its been pretty much everything but. It has just occurred to me that they might have different "themes" for each section of the hall, but I can't really check that right now! Whether or not it is, it's all largely at the whim of who's working events that weekend. ~~~~~ If it's not too late to blag an invite to this, I'd certainly be interested - Inquisitor is Inquisitor, and I welcome any chance to champion and play one of my favourite games. That said, I know you did say you wanted to keep it fairly small and special, so I'll understand if you've got enough people or your reasons. In any case, do ask if there's anything I can help with. |

Time for me to introduce you all to my Retinue (Pictures will be added as/when the associated models are finished/ painted) - Inquisitor Rowain Artaxis, Ordo Xenos. Spoiler: click to toggle Artaxis is a young spitfire of an Imperial Agent, an Idealist among the Ordo Xenos thats managed to make more enemies then friends in her short tenure as Inquisitor. This trend has led her down a darker path, seeking out allies wherever she can find them. She's picked up a habit of asking too many questions, a trait thats made her all the more unpopular, but it does give her an edge. For if knowledge is power, questions are the swords and spears that wrest it from the wise. - Interrogator Devereax. Spoiler: click to toggle Formerly a junior officer from an illustrious Guard regiment, he still carries many of the trappings from his previous post. A stray las round should have killed him long ago, instead causing massive scarring to one side of his face and cauterising the pain centres of his brain. His reasoning unimpaired, he was retired from frontline duties due to 'medical reasons' to pursue a new career with the Inquisition. - Reinhardt, Heretek. Spoiler: click to toggle Former Priest of the Mechanicus, his duties including the experimentation and archival interment of proscribed devices put him at odds with his peers, seeing the true potential of such objects if given sufficient time to study them. The schism became too great and his rivals moved against him, only to be struck down by one of the many devices Reinhardt had been examining. Quickly he collected various prohibited materials and made good his escape, assuming a place overseeing the transit of a new regiments armored elements, disappearing soon after getting off-world. - Ernst Mengalle, Chirugeon. Spoiler: click to toggle Practitioner of anatomical studies, there are few species he cannot take apart (And managed to put most of them back together again afterwards) He would have been a talented surgeon, were it not for his penchant to experiment on the living, having sucessfully implanted Xenos tissue during a 'routine' transplant. - Purge, Apostate Psyker. Spoiler: click to toggle Goes by over a hundred different names on his homeworld, discarding each for the next when the Arbites came looking. His luck finally ran out when a Witch Hunter tracked him down. Avoided being granted the Emperors Mercy by managing to cheat His evaluation and resisting the interrogations of an Explicator. Attributes his powers to the consumption of his victims. - 'Tiny' The Inhuman, Ogryn. Spoiler: click to toggle An Abhuman so named for His having shrugged off crippling injuries, a mountain of muscle with more then just a mean streak going on behind the eyes. Having undergone the Bone'ead surgery, his body proceeded to reject the implants, necessitating His wearing a hood. - The above may get changed/redacted as and where necessary.

Since I've wangled my way onto the invite list, I thought I'd sketch out at very high level some of the character/model ideas I'm thinking out. These are very high level and I hope to flesh them out over the Christmas holiday in time for some serious converting/painting. Inquisitor - I'm going to base my warband on the Inquisitor I created to add fluff to my mechanicus army (someday I may write some more as I left it without actually revealing anything of any note about the force). Atticus Rebus (will likely have a slight rename) is from the Ordo Malleus - previously involved in 'policing' the other Ordos (old-school inquisition fluff), Atticus now spends much of his time with the Tartarian brotherhood of the adeptus mechanicus in the development of psychic weaponry and augmentations in the fight against chaos. Atticus is far from a radical but he has an ambivalence to the use of forbidden lore as many inquisitors of his age do and will use what he needs to get things done. I see him as a light-hearted but focussed inquisitor not beyond making decisions which may appear callous or unethical to his followers. Not thought much rule-wise but he will be a potent psyker himself and I like the idea of having a 'luck' based rule (not been through the rules for some time so no idea what) to reflect what many observers will think of as luck but is in reality just meticulous planning, strong intuition and a sharp mind. Techpriest - couldn't resist sticking with the mechanicus theme after all so I intend to create Magos Mandrocles from Tartarus. Priest - Looking through the stunning Agents of the Imperium sketch book I came across a pic of what looks like an inquisitor sitting in a palanquin being borne aloft by several childlike servitors. I loved this idea but didn't want my inquisitor in the palanquin but instead a corpulent and repugnant priest (both physically and morally – not at all influenced by recent scandals throughout the Roman Catholic world). Now, I was originally thinking of having a hereticus warband into which this would fit quite nicely but since I went with Atticus in the Ordo Malleus I felt I needed a good reason to have a priest. The idea (still needs some fleshing out - I'll prepare a good piece of background on each member of the warband) is that the priest (possibly a cardinal) was a very successful and popular demagogue from one of the cardinal worlds (though fiercely pious and loyal to the emperor and the ecclesiarchy) he lost everything when an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor investigated him and discovered and revealed that he was an unregistered psyker (unknown even to himself). The priest will have strong empathic powers and the ability to influence the minds of weaker willed individuals. He had always taken this to be as a result of his convincing sermons and the irrefutability of his words (and still doesn't truly accept the psychic rationale - seeing it more as the will of the emperor acting through him). Sentenced to death he was ultimately rescued by Atticus who saw a highly useful tool with abilities outside his own psychic specialism. Thinking of some tech gang member with implanted dreadlocks. About the only basis for this is I've often wondered how easily the back of a kroot head could be use to create this impression. I also love John Blanche’s numerous sketches of guys with loads of wires coming out of their scalps. Not sure why, but I quite like the idea of having some creator/purveyor or black market servo skulls, cherubs, familiars etc...(there are so many throughout the imperium that they can't all be made and sanctioned by the adeptus mechanicus). Only one more slot but not sure whether to have bounty hunter (thinking of a character like Rorschach from Watchmen - I did something similar in 54mm previously); some sort of tech-assassin (possibly psychically augmented wargear); a different female character (love Rise's exotic dancer idea but want to keep my warband looking very different); or another idea. Open to any suggestions and nothing above is set in stone. Edited by Cerebralerebus, 23 Dec 2011, 09:05 PM.

Awesome to see some progress in this thread. Tycho: A very interesting band of reprobates that've been drawn to Artaxis since she fell against Adorno. I've reasoned that Artaxis doesn't (yet) know who Adorno is, which could lead to an interesting "Oh sh-" moment during the events of the Succession. If you get the chance, put up the proposed rules you posted elsewhere for your retinue. If you can do it similarly to my post, that'd help, but it's not essential. I just figure that consolidating things into one thread would help. Cerebralerebus: Glad to see you on board. The ideas you've got are interesting. I'd just say that the events of the Helios Succession are quite specific, taking place in the Dalthus Sector. As a result, all the Inquisitors participating are part of the Dalthan Conclave and/or the Helios Cabal itself. I'm all for you linking your retinue to your Adeptus Mechanicus army and the Tartarian Brotherhood. What I'd say is that the Adeptus Mechanicus in Dalthus is centred around the Mutaran Demesne (the Forgeworld of Mutara and it's surrounding fief-worlds); the Mutarans are an insular faction of the Mechanicus, but are somewhat similar to the Sollex Brotherhood from Dark Heresy in that they've got some quite sophisticated technologies on their hands. If you wanted to make the retinue Dalthus-specific, you could simply shift your Inquisitor's connections from Tartarus to Mutara, but it's entirely up to you in the end. The Inquisitor sounds really very interesting, along with the latent psyker-Cardinal. Interesting that you and Rise have both gone quite psyker-centric, but in different directions. I could've guessed that you'd include a Tech-Priest! I look forward to seeing you do something different and creative with it. All your ideas are very interesting, though I'm certainly curious about the Rorschach-type (do you have pics of your 54mm version?) |

Cerebralrebus, this would work well. I saw a conversion done at my local GW that was of a predator (as in Arnie's favourite opponent) it used 3 or 4 sets of the kroot quills/dreads to create the dreads and it looked spot on. Funnily enough I submitted a writing sample to Black Library a few years ago for one of their short story competitions, and one of my characters had mechadendrite dreads that gave him 360 degree vision. |

Molotov - I have the general background to the event and was firmly intending to base the background of my Inquisitor in the Dalthan Conclave, but I was not familiar with the Mutaran adeptus mechanicus. Is there anywhere you can point me to to read up on the Dalthans etc..? As for my psyker-centric warband, that really comes about because I just love the background to psykers in 40k (adeptus mechanicus is number one of course but that's why my 40k army blends the two - someone has to make the Psi-titans, force weapons and psycannons). The priest character is partly inspired by the 'Mule' character from Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, so he is a very different type of psyker than my inquisitor (who will be blowing stuff up). Sadly I don't have any pictures of the 20 or so 54mm models I made originally. I sold them all when I took a break from the hobby and my computer which had the pictures on it (and pages of written background for all the characters) crashed irrecoverably. When I say he was like Rorschach I really mean with the 'Rorschach' ink blot style mask (there was no hat and trenchcoat). |

@ Mol: I'll update my post above with the stats and equipment when I get a chance, along with pictures. Haven't even thought about Purge yet. I just thought this was a good way for people to see the 'who' my group are. When it comes to terrain, I hope we'll have access to that big Cityfight table they have, Mol might remember it as the one nearest the inhouse store during this years Bash.

That cityboard's been used by the Conclave before. It looks great, but my impression was that it didn't really lend itself well to Inquisitor because it was all about the big structures. The runied temple we used for the Apocalypse game years ago would work better if we're going big. |

Nice to see you in here Loz (to see you, nice), like the variety in your character concepts, can't wait to see you start building them (if there's any bits you want then feel free to hit me up), the priest in particular will need some unusual bitz! Mol- my warband only has the one psychic, as far as I'm aware, though I anticipate him being fairly powerful. |

If we're talking about this one, then that's only likely if it's specifically asked for. It's a popular table and in no short demand. I have to disagree with Keravin, as it turned itself to Inquisitor quite well, although it did have the problem a lot of multi-storey scenery does, in that there's no access to the interior floors, and you have to move models around on the roof, keeping track (mentally or with dice markers) of which floor everyone is on. @Keravin: Was that this table perchance? One of my favourites, but it definitely benefits from having extra scenery scattered around for Inquisitor (for those not in the know, the altar/casket isn't part of the board - that was brought by the GM.) |

The first one might work ok for 54mm, but 28mm is going to find the area very difficult to deal with. And Marco - yes to the second one. I think most of these boards will benefit from extra terrain as they are designed for fields of fire rather than closer proximity. |

Titus has spent the last 4 months recovering from injuries sustained when the power cell in his plasma pistol ruptured. His right arm from above the elbow has been replaced with a powerful augmetic; which he is still getting used to, but unfortunately the vat grown right eye he also had implanted has had to be removed because of tissue rejection. To keep himself occupied during his convalescence, he has been rebuilding his plasma pistol with the aid of Tech Magos Brokk. The use of some nonstandard parts in the reconstruction has caused Father Josef to become even more suspicious of Bell’s mindset. The death of Lord Mandred has brought him out of his convalescence earlier than his chirurgeons recommend, but he has doubts about the circumstances of the passing of the Inquisitor lord and the activities since then of some of his colleagues. Commisar Molotov. Do you want us to edit our first post as and when we adjust and change them? Or do you want us to repost the updated versions later throughout the thread? I have put up the stats for discussion and some proposed rules for the Wolf Hound. Inquisitor Titus Bell, KLAXON, Inquisitor, Ordo Xenos, Drifting Puritan. Psyker. Spoiler: click to toggle Roglund Anderson, TRIO, Bounty Hunter. Seek, Hunter Skull. Destroy, Suomian Spined Wolf. Spoiler: click to toggle Father Josef, SHEPHERD, Priest. Spoiler: click to toggle Saul Tenquist, CORVUS, Guard Veteran, Sniper. Spoiler: click to toggle Proctor Parbold, MAUL, Castigation Squad Leader (retired). Spoiler: click to toggle Eva, SPECTRE, Ordo Xenos Infiltrator. Spoiler: click to toggle I will definitely bring Titus, Josef and Roglund with his two friends. Eva the assassin/infiltrator will come as well, and I will post her up when I have finished sculpting. Saul may come, if I don't build something more interesting in the next couple of months. To finsh off the team I have a couple of options. The Tech magos I made recently may come and I have been looking at some parts in my bitz box that will make a heavily augmented former arbites. I can also bring along this civilian Tilt Jet flyer for terrain or it could be included in a scenario if appropriate. ![]()
