Inquisitor was something special from Games Workshop: the only time they released a 54mm narrative wargame that owed as much to roleplaying and Rogue Trader as it did to the latest edition of Warhammer 40,000. A miniatures skirmish that was powered by roleplaying and storytelling.
Set in the 40k universe and introducing lore and concepts that had barely been explored to that point. The Imperium’s Inquisition was expanded and deepened, new characters and creatures like Arco-flagellants entered the universe, and Dan Abnett’s Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn first took to the page!
This is the history of a game that took a fresh look at the lore of 40k, created new narratives, and reshaped the whole universe!

I think the Inq28 movement was probably the best way Inquisitor could be preserved as a folk tradition after GW discontinued support. The 54mm scale certainly had its advantages...but 28mm is a lot easier to play with for most people. Easier to get minis and parts to convert them, easier to acquire terrain for, easier to store, and much cheaper. It was a good thing original Inquisitor used so few models per game: you were paying large monster prices for single infantry figures.

@NisGaarde Год назад

Hats off to GW for daring to experiment with some of these early 2000s games. This was one that didn't really appeal to me back then for whatever reason. But cool to know the history nonetheless 🙂 PS: With the current growth rate it probably won't be long before you'll be able to use the old Inquisitor Space Marine model for Warhammer 40K proper 😅

Artemis the Space Marine is probably already smaller than a Primaris lieutenant!

i was working for GW during this time period, with a brilliant bloke named Matt. His ambition was to become a sculptor for GW, and he was continually practicing with Green Stuff. One of his practice pieces was a beaky helmet for brother Artemis, which i still own, but the piece that got him noticed was his inquisitor scale Daemonette, sculpted entirely from scratch. She appeared in one of the exterminatus magazines. Matt got his break, and is now a sculptor for GW, resposible for many kits ranging from the redesigned Broadside battlesuit, the Ork warbuggies, all the way up to Magnus the Red. An extremely talented and very humble, top-notch fella!

@godofzombi Год назад

In a way Inquisitor went back to the roots of Rogue trader, wich also had a games master. And you can find a similar lack of balance in the warbands form realm of chaos, especially Slaves to darkness, where you start rolling a D1000 (not a typo!) and your champion gets Albino wich reduces his toughness while your opponent rolls Technollogy and ends up with a frikkin' lascannon! (yers, thats a lascannon in WHFB)

Inquisitor was an interesting premise, but the scale - especially for metal minis - was a big challenge. Somewhere I’ve got an unassembled Artemis mini because at the time I didn’t have the tools or skill to do it well.

It’s worth noting, that FFG 40k RPGs borrowed heavily from Inquisitor. First of their games was more or less Inquisitor, just with more RPG focus.

@thomasparker6124 Год назад

Yeah Dark Heresy 1E was pretty much a mashup of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2E and Inquisitor.

@craigwelter5862 Год назад

Yeah, I just played it with the 28mm miniatures and terrain I already had. And using a gamesmaster to have the players play against, like a battle heavy tactical story driven RPG. Probably why it "failed", because many people played without buying any of the miniatures, so they didn't see the sales. But I bought a lot of models just for this game. Same thing with Warhammer Quest. They should have kept that going, but I don't think they realized how many miniatures they were selling because of it.

@DanielEbeck Год назад

I loved the depth that Gav & the guys went into for Inquisitor. It really did feel like RT2.0. Without Inquisitor, we wouldn't have had Eisenhorn and all the awesome worlds of the BL. We had real fun during the development, blasting away at each other, with the occasional backstab from "I'll be a traitor" Thorpe. And thanks for showing the conversions page; my guy's on there ;)

@dr3dg352 Год назад

Omg I forgot all about this! I started 40k back in 2010, but could swear I remember seeing these Inquisitor miniatures on the site and being in awe of them. I probably would've loved Inquisitor, as I played Dark Heresy in the early 2010s. Update: Recently found the Inquisitor at my local used book store. Didn't realize it was paperback! Sadly didn't have $40 for it though... Amazingly the store also had d20 Modern: Dark Matter!

@mind_onion 2 месяца назад

I bought a bunch of special 28 mm models from forgeworld after finding the pdfs for inquisitor online several years after its run (GW apparently put them up for free a few years after its run, wish they continued to do this with all their old rulebooks and games, they'd probably move more plastic imo, and it doesn't cost them anything, they aren't selling the old rulebooks anymore) and played it as an rpg like DND with my friends. We built a bunch of special terrain for it, and while things kind of broke down towards the end due to us raising some weird rules questions that we had no answers for, it was still interesting to play. I get the impression Inquisitor somewhat pivoted towards this style of play (albeit at 54mm) based on the existence of the conspiracies books, but it seems clear the intent wasn't originally to be a DND style rpg system, more of a small scale combat system, which was responsible for the lack of enemy stat lines and experience points systems.

I’ve always wondered if Inquisitor would have endured longer if it had been at 28mm scale from the outset. Would have made conversions, modelling and terrain usage easier. I’m glad to see it live on in the inq28 movement.

@Ruggfish 5 месяцев назад

I started playing around the time the cities of death terrain came out. Those terrain kits actually sized up perfectly so I never had any issues. It was such a great game though. We never played with named characters, preferring to make up our own. My Inquisitor had Lucretia Bravus' closed helm, covenants swords, and Eisenhorns body. This game was the most fun I've had playing any 40k content (bar Dark Heresy). Seeing this has made me dig through the old models. I might have to repaint a warband or two and have another game!

@andrewwing7484 11 месяцев назад

Excellent video and interview with Gav! Inquisitor really got our creativity flowing, even though we just ended up sticking with our 28mm figs because of the terrain issue. I always felt the d100 base of the game and high level of combat detail owed a debt to WFRP and Runequest. Later when Black Industries put out Dark Heresy I remember thinking that it was just Inquisitor achieving its inevitable final form as an rpg.

An awesome concept and aesthetic. I loved reading the narrative battle reports in White Dwarf back in the day. I think part of Inquisitor’s downfall for me, is the absence of between battle gaming. Omitting those social, investigative elements that would add context and investment for the battles themselves was a mistake IMhO. Have you ever tried ‘Dark Heresy’ Jordan?

Most notable achievement was shooting at the unkillable Inquisitor of my friend, with insane armour saves and ward saves,.. whereupon he indeed passed his save, but fell from a ledge and promptly broke his neck.

@batjutsu Год назад

Gav! 🤩 Thanks for an overview and deep dive of an anomalous game. After the first year of its release some friends and I dicuscussed ideas, but in part due to the lack of both miniatures and terrain we postponed playing. Eventually setting up proxy terrain and using other toys; like we did back in the 80s with a 10,000 point 40k that was half Star Wars toys. I returned to the game later using 28mm. These days we don't even use miniatures, I have a play-by-mail game that is a fusion of Inquisitor and some other systems. 😀 Inquisitor Khrulclaw, Ashen Prophet of Ordo Ratius (Squeak-Squeak) 🐀🌠

@anotherzingbo Год назад

Inquisitor was released during my miniature gaming hiatus, but the White Dwarf announcing its release was the only one I bought between 1994 and my return to the hobby in 2018. I was intrigued by the idea of Inquisitor but at the time the cost of the models put me off. After returning to the hobby a friend bought a copy of Inquisitor and I had a look at it. Personally I find that the position it occupies between a more traditional competitive wargames and roleplaying games to be a bit of an awkward one, and its very crunchy combat mechanics put me off a bit too. So for me it remains an intriguing idea but not one I've looked into with any depth. It feels like personally I'm glad that it existed and agree it has had a positive effect on the 40k universe as a whole, but it's probably not for me! Also I find it curious that you managed to make an entire video about conflicts between inquisitors and the GW of decades past without once mentioning Jaq Draco and the Inqusition War trilogy of books in which he starred!

@jordansorcery Год назад

Fair point re the Watson novels, a mention certainly wouldn’t have gone amiss!

@user-Brian_Gregory 4 месяца назад

Coming to this game from Necromunda, the things that ruined it for me were that it required a GM and that there was no attempt at competitive balancing. The 54mm figs weren't *required* (you could play it with regular 40K figs), but if you wanted to use them they had two huge problems: first, they weren't "modular", thus necessitating power tools and copious amounts of Green Stuff for even minor conversions, and second that the Inquisitors were a distinctly different scale than the Henchmen, making "kitbashing" even harder.

Inquisitor came out at a time when I'd completely stopped paying attention to anything that was going on in the Games Workshop and Warhammer worlds and I only found out about it many years later. I even own the Inquisitor art book and didn't realize at the time that I bought it that the art was from the game and not just extra incidental 40K art. It was only later when I really sat down and did more than just leaf through looking at pictures that I realized Inquisitor was it's own thing! 😆

My game group played at the L.A. Battle Bunker (back when those were a thing) and we had a VERY large Inquisitor base. I still have all the stuff and would love to get a group to play again. It's quicker than it looks like it should be and so dynamic. When the original 13th Black Crusade world wide campaign happened, we had several Inquisitor games that were worked into the Bunker's campaign. #GoodTimes

@CurtisAndersen Год назад

We were lucky because the bunker had several pre-built tables that worked really well with both 28 and 54mm minis. Especially a really cool Necromunda highway/city block. Also one of our members, Matt Staley, made some Inquisitor specific terrain that was featured in Fanatic magazine.

The best thing about inquistor is it truly showed what the difference between a regular human and an astartes was. The stateline shown in the book is before he put his power armour on. He could literally take a kraken grenade to the face and still carry on fighting. As is lore accurate. Worth 1000 regular Guardsmen.

I really like the Eisenhorn and Ravenor novels. In one of the novels there's a chase scene among an motorway on an Imperial world and then I realised that (at the time) we had no art or miniatures for civilian vehicles in 40k.

the scale really hurt it from my point of view since you couldnt use them in your armies or whatever terrain you had didnt fit so it was a big investment in time and money with no synergy to the other games. kind of a shame really. i was thinking about buying some of them for use as demon princes but never pulled the trigger before going out of production

@marcraygun6290 Год назад

@Kolyarut Год назад

I love some of the models for Inquisitor, but the game itself felt like a rare swing and a miss to me. As others have said, 54mm meant a requirement for 54mm terrain which wasn't sold and no one had already, but also limited the pool of conversion parts available, and doing those conversions at that scale with metal models that barely wanted to stay together when assembled "properly" was a tall ask for most people. And the models themselves honestly are less detailed than most modern releases, they're just bigger. It was an RPG without character creation, a wargame without a points system... rather than being able to knit those worlds together, it just felt awkwardly positioned between them, not doing either that well. But we gained the Eisenhorn trilogy and the Deathwatch, and better to take chances than play it safe all the time. If they were ever to revive this one, I think it would be best done as a fork of Kill Team, at regular scale, which immediately gives you access to an enormous parts catalogue and a colossal pool of enemies to draw from.

GW doomed Inquisitor to failure as soon as they decided on 54mm. At the time it came out I hung out at the US headquarters store in Maryland multiple days a week. I got to know a lot of the employees and no one outside of the employees bought the game, and that's because they had to. It was a disaster. They pushed it hard but people didn't want expensive models they couldn't do anything else with. Part of the selling point of Mordheim was people could use the models for other things. When GW closed the Maryland factory and moved it to Tennessee, it was cheaper to give the leftover stock to employees and write it off than to ship it to TN. At that point they couldn't even give the models away. Employees took one or two but whole cases of them went in the trash because no one would take them.

I always wanted to get that but it was too much of a scale departure and I was neck deep in half a dissent other armies/warbands/gangs/etc already.. It did look stunning though.

Why not redo the game in the HH? Seems ripe for the pickings. I have just redone so models in 40k with my 3d printer and terrian just because i wanted to see what was possible.

Great video, really enjoy all your stuff but Nuala's name is pronounced Noo-la not Noo-a-la.

I didn't realise that, appreciate the correction!

I liked this video because I liked it.

It may already be too late!

I felt like a fool for wasting my money on it. Every one said it's a one off. Why oh why is every poor attempt by GW to make a RPG percentile? Blackstone was not poor but it was not a true rpg

It failed as it didn't go far enough people wanted 18kmm scale inquisitors
