DREAD OF AN INQUISITOR! THE ONE FACTION OUTSIDE THEIR POWER! 

How to kill an Inquisitor in two easy steps: 1.) Be an Inquisitor of a higher rank, then 2.) Tell your subordinate Inquisitor to investigate the Dark Angels.

""These men are my bodyguards, their lives forfeit to the guarantee of my physical safety. Of their loyalty to me there shall be no question nor doubt. I, and I alone, shall have the authority to stand in judgement over them. No other commander shall they have in battle nor in service. None shall bar them from me and none shall hamper or stall their mission. So it is decreed!" - Master of Mankind. You really forgot to mention that by the Emperors decree only the Emperor can pass judgement on a Custodian. That is the real issue for the inquisition. The Inquisition has the legal authority to investigate and condemn anyone except for the Custodes. By the Emperors decree the Custodies loyalty cannot even be questioned.

"Iam an inquisitor and I command your respect" "No, you demand my attention "

The Inquisition fears the Emperor coming back.

Well, since the Custodes thought of killing Guilliman if he stepped out of line, there was _no way_ they would bow to the Inquisition. ^^

"Why are you here, Inquisitor!?" The Inquisitor: *Chuckles* "I'm in danger!"

that moment of dread when inquisitor meets the bigger fish...

"Some of the finest mortal troops of the Imperium" is basically just a fancy way of saying "The god Emperor's 4-ply toilet paper".

As soon as I saw the title I knew that this was about the Adeptus Custodes. They are the one faction that literally only answer to the Emperor and will literally walk into the chamber of the Masters of the Inquisition and kill them all if it is necessary. Equally so the same power applies to the Sisters of Silence as their only loyalty is to the Emperor himself.

The space wolves. “We will drag your ships from the sky and feast on its iron bones”

Even before our boy stepped back out of the cell, I'd known it was a Custodes from the moment the sound of a piledriver-like blast was heard. Honestly felt bad for the poor mortal soldiers who got in the way of a banana boy, even though I'm sure their deaths were mostly swift and painless. Some of the best soldiers an Inquisitor of all people could collect, and their lives and training were tossed aside like confetti simply because they stood in the way. Honestly, the fact that the Custodian reacted to a plasma pistol blast with as much concern as a normal space marine would react to a mortal human with a shiv was a flex on par with his laughing at the brandishing of the rosette. Imagine having kit so dripped out that a blast of plasma isn't worth even stepping out of the way for. The golden boys really just be built different

No one expects The Inquisition, and all fear The Inquisition but maybe some should question The Inquisition.

I think the Inquisitor was ment to be like a Adeptus Arbites But like 75% of the all Inquisitors Have too big Egos! They Fu-ck to much up!

“To get this man” this love story go hard

Accountability? If the Primarchs view the Imperial Cult with disgust, it’s not hard to suss what Malcador would make of the very Inquisition that he founded.

Surely Gulliman and now the Lion will be above the inquisition as they have spoken to the Emperor.

Is description of the carnage is all the more impactful when you know who's actions of the one is being described before we're even told in the story. It just shows how daunting and overpoweringly absolute something really is when someone's absolute certainty in something else is not just shattered but unquestioningly removed when faced with it. 40k writing is just a step above, GOD DAMN!

"Son's of Russ going to war with them knowing they would ultimately lose." Uh, no. The Inquisition lost so many assets, so many Grey Knights, the Red Hunters were nearly extinct...The Wolves of Fenris didn't just win. That was only 1/3rd their number that did that. The Inquisition itself lives in FEAR of the Wolves now. All of their successor chapters carry the same attitude toward the Inquisition...any Inquisition ships that enter their home systems get destroyed on sight. They don't care, and the Inquisition knows if they try to sanction the Wolves again ever first founding chapter will immediately take up the Wolves' charge as well. The Grey Knights also changed how they operate due to that battle. They no longer kill anyone that sees them, they only kill those who are corrupted and have their own members trained to look for it...they no longer listen to Inquisitors claiming people are corrupted. The Wolves knowing they would lose? Losing isn't in their dictionary, and they tore the Inquisition apart and changed it's very foundation with the Months of Shame.

If outside of the boundaries of the Imperium, the Inquisition can't do nothing to the Rogue Traders as well. They could try something with the Space Wolfs as well but we all know how that will play out.

"I am the penultimate authority of the Imperium, no one can stand against the symbol of my office an station!" the Inquisitor cried. "Lol," said the custodian guard, "Lmao even." "I AM AUTHORITY." I'd love to have seen that scumbag Kysnarous come into conflict with the Custodes, trying his bullshit like he did with the space wolves would've been hilarious. I bet it'd go like that one "I AM A SURGEON." meme too lol.

After all the custodes murder sprees I’ve read through, I can’t help but wonder if throwing down your weapons and prostrating yourself before the guardians of the master of mankind and accepting your fate immediately, and swearing your faith in the god emperor would still see you dead. I’ve yet to read or see someone do anything of the sort as far as I recall.

I think that I’m greatly tempted to read the watchers of the thrown series just to see an inquisitor be reminded of his place 😂

Haven’t read the book… but knew exactly what was coming and still got goosebumps… call me a fanboy but ANY moment a custodian is in the story it truly is epic!

"I only answer to the emperor!" - "And I speak in his name." *BLAM*

Custodies: I don't care if you're king shit of Inquisitor mountain, you don't FUCK with Terra.

The moment when even an inquisitor or a hardened henchman says "oh shit!" 😅 (screen goes dark).... you know its bad ha. Great reveal in that book, well written suspense.

As far as I know Navradaran didn't use lethal force against Crowl's retinue, nor did Crowl use a plasma pistol. His weapon of choice was some archaic solid shot revolver type gun

Always satisfying when an Inquisitor gets humbled.

one of the best video you made ever. i think best one is bjorn fell handed meets inquisitors on fang.

Its been a long time since ive read a good Inquisition novel, that last one was the eisenhorn trilogy after that it lost me

Hey dude, have recently found your channel, and it's fast becoming a favourite. I love how you zoom in on specific MOMENTS like this, giving an in context experience from an actual story, then zooming back out to describe the greater context and implications. Great work, much appreciated 👏

Welp, the Inquisitor should have had a Solitaire in his retinue. Then he could have been like “Uh, yeah, step aside…” 😂. I enjoyed this video btw.

An Inquisitor trying to stand up to a C U S T O D I A N lol

That left me hanging, part 2 please!

Standing your ground even though you know you're beaten is as brave as it gets

"Ya done messed up, Er-as-mus!" - substitute teacher

Guilliman: "Get off your golden keisters and do some work." Valoris: "Ah, yeah, a'ight."

Did the inquisitor bother to ask for his man back? Seems like he escalated all the way to violent raid without trying the lesser steps first.

Oh that's an easy one, They fear Fabius Bile because he's OG badassery

they re so above that they re like the secret service, they can desobey the emperor itself if it means saving his life. I think that s what valdor is doing

The Custodes are the very definition of "Echelons above reality."

This was a great series of books, particularly the last third of book three. One of the best of 40k.

They should fear Bobby G finding out about the Celestial Lions - which is very possible now the black Templars know too!

"How they dare shit upon the sacrifice that my most loyal servant ever made by turning the organization he laid the foundation for into an elitist shit-fest is inexcusable." (TTS Emperor) Still, I wonder if the Custodian was not only amused but even mildly impressed that the Inquisitor didn't faint in shock at the mere sight of him. Typically, a warrior has to offer at least some respect to an opponent with some backbone, no matter how one-sided the confrontation may be.

What inquisitors fear are these words: "Beware Inquisitor Ordinary, for I am Ordo Malleus." The Inquisitor of Inquisitors.

There is multiple organisations outside of inquisition reach. The Officio Assasinorum. The Navigator Guild Compounds on Terra.

Paused the video just to come in and say "hell yeah brother" because of the callback to MGS1!

the Assassins would beg to differ 😂

Recruitment advert of the Inquisition: "Doing deamon Lorgar's work since M31!"

Nice, MGS reference! 😮

Inquisitor get his man and starts hearing boss music

I think its fair to say the Sons of Russ would take them on again and win again. If it wasn't for the Grey Knights the inquisition would have had its head kicked

Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, and surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Emperor of Mankind .... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... and bolt pistols. ... I'll come in again.

Best way to fight Custodian. Get on your knees and pray for miracle.

Wish we'd get to see some short stories or novels of Inquisitors rooting out the heinous stuff going on in Navigator great houses. They act truly untouchable, but they're no Custodes...

Lets see the anti-inquisition set up. Commander: Guilliman Elite force: Custodes Soldiers: Space Wolves

The inquisition isn't as strong as people think. If the astarties wanted they will get wiped from the galaxy. Also everything in the lore doesn't make them that impressive tbh.

Someone should ask Abnett to read this one, those custodes in The End and the Death all died way too easily...

The Adeptus Astartes is not loyal to the Inquisition, and sometimes fought against them. They also are allowed to not worship the Emperor, and would not hesitate to take action against an Inquisitor if they believed his actions were putting the Imperium in danger.

Aren't there several chapters that care not for inquisition. And refuse thier juvenile orders

Pretty much the custodians and i assume gulliaman and the lion are the ones that can tell the inquisition to go screw off.

BUT AS ALWAYS EVERYONE....I WILL NOT BE TELLING YOU WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Hahaha he laughed at him!!! 😂

…and he’s down. Harlequin 2 - Custodes 0

I sometimes like the inquisition but majority of the time would rather see the organization set upon by genuine forces loyal not only the emperor but also humanity. It’s hard telling how many loyal servants have turned traitor literally only because of the inquisition and their pettiness. Maybe start with a black Templars seeing a crusade against the inquisitors that have been wiping out the Celestial lions for instance. I know it won’t happen but dang I’d love to see a little karma come back towards those involved. There may be factions that genuinely help and protect humanity/imperium but the vast majority follow their own whims and need for power or advancing themselves over the imperium and humanity.

The Fabricator of Mars methinks is the other.

From the description of the custodian, it sounds to me that the inquisitor ran into a Shadowkeeper. I'm wondering if the fact that it was a custodian or the fact that this custodian was a Shadowkeeper was what gave the inquisitor that "well, I'm dead" moment?

For an organisation that serves the Emporer, the Inquistion have caused more harm than have done any good! Power struggles, internal politicking, so many different factions that render the Inquisition next to useless! For something that seeks the internal threats to the Imperium, it is the Inquisition that is the biggest danger to the Imperium!

Love it!!!

So that inquisitor dude is like 7ft tall?

Never forget the inquisition answer to THE guard as the ARE the Emperor.

hello big fish meet bigger fish

Was this local enforcer or arbites, what was the acolyte arrested for?

So i want to know what happens if exterminatus is issued to a planet while a custodes is on it . Imagine have to explain that the the ordo hey you see i blew up a planet but i didnt check if one of the 10000 was on it yea how i was suppose to know it was a custodes was gaurding someone important.

💯 facts Metal Gear Solid... 1 of the greatest game and futuristic story lines years ahead of it's time... Good old days of great gaming all day 'n night 🙌😆😎

Is it the imperial IRS?

All it takes is for the inquisition to poke the ultramarines and you will see how "strong" they are when you have 25+ ultramarine descendant chapters after your organization.😂😂😂

Very nice

Before the video starts my money is on "The Lion".

I think everytime anyone who can tell inquisition fuck off and survive is awesome :D

*laughs in logan grimnar*

We're not all bad. Js. But I get it... I can't stand other inquisitors. Real headaches they are.

What was the outcome of this encounter?

Any 40k books with good romance in them that dont end tragically?

Certainly the Inquisition is an interesting portion of the 40K universe and very much the imitation of our lives. Imagine an order that gains its powers purely from themselves, by themselves, and for themselves. Kinda like bureaucrats and politicos.

Nope this was a forgone conclusion for myself on seeing the title

How bout the Arbites?

Black templars say what

why would the custodes revere the throne. if anything they should loathe it and remark they serve the emperor, not a throne. i mean they served him before he was on a throne.

When i look at my 5000 Points of Custodes i alwys need to think that if the tabletop was lorefriendly, this would be 35000-45000 Points 😂 Imagine taking Trajann and five Allarus Terminator to the Board and just whiping 2k Space Marines 🤣

goosebumps

arent the custodes above the inquistion ?

So what ended up happening?

This entire scenario is silly. The Inquisitor could just talk to the Arbites and they would release his man without the need for breaking him out and violence. The Custodes could just show up and everyone would stop shooting and there would be no need for him to kill anyone. It's all silly.

What's the one thig even a inquisitor dreads...their mandated performance review? The performance review process can trigger a lot of anxiety and dread for both employees and managers in the grim dark. This young lady has delusions of adequacy. Having only destroyed 5 worlds over the last decade. She didn't kill a citizen who accidentally bumped into her. Something you learn a common sign on heresy on day one,. With the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age.

Wait wtf what happened?!

@wolflordrho I swear these writers get lazier and lazier. There is no way.... an Inquisitor... of the Ordo Hereticus... on Terra... would not know about Custodes.

Two things you got wrong...... They answer to other inquisitors and in the emperor g man

After 10:50, it’s a Custodes,… there saved you Ten Minutes.

0:17 Unknown insperation for me for makeing up republican angst?...
