My GM ran a 40k tabletop game where we played the acolytes of a fairly Purtian Inquisitior. The campaign had us chasing an individual who set up multiple Chaos cults across a sector. Turns out after a long campaign we track the heretic down...only to discover it's a Radical Inquisitior that was setting up Chaos cults to study them in order to discover how similar worship of the Emperor could be weaponized to make the Emperor into a Chaos god of Order for the Empire. The final mission had us fighting his willingly demon possessed Imperial Guardsmen flunkies whose faith in the Emperor gave them temporary control of the demon's power, all trying to kill us for being the heretics in their eyes. Gotta say, the GM really nailed the feel of the Inquisition and how batshit crazy they are.
i'm new to warhammer, but i love that the ordos desolatus is just one guy. I imagine it's just this guy being like, "Shut up it's a real ordos, and you can't know what it does"
@@Necroxion Honestly, seeing fellow Tenno here gives me the idea of the Ordo Desolatus guy just studying the Void and the Man in the Wall, but being the only one who does this because no other Inquisitor cares about the minor but fundamental and extremelly important differences between the Void and the Warp.
“Some may question your right to destroy ten billion people. Those who understand know that you have no right to let them live. No sacrifice is too great, and no treachery is too small.” Inquisitor Horst
@@connormcdougall2773 It's the Imperium, stupidity and superstition is their modus operandi. Remember, this is the same faction that considers rivted armor to be adequate protection for their military vehicles.
My favorite Inquisition quote is from the first Ciaphas Cain book: ‘You get more with a kind word and an excruciator than with just a kind word.’ - Inquisitor Malden.
Also from the first book: Cain: Bribery and threats are popular methods for getting what you want, but the Inquisition is better at both and tend to resent other people using them. Amberley's Footnote: Entirely untrue. The Inquisition is most definitely above such petty emotions as resentment.
The Istvanists sound like they could strike up a really lovely arrangement with Ghazkull. Like, "let's keep fighting each other on absurd levels of maximum intensity and whoever has their god manifest in reality first wins"
The Ordo Desolatus sounds like it could be a designated survivor situation. Some guy trying to make an ark just in case the imperium as an institution collapses
this made me wonder what kind of threat would the inquisition require a designated survivor. like whats a single inquisitor gonna do if a threat somehow manages to kill the inquisition. but then again time fuckery is a thing in this universe so in my head its a guy in a box in the warp sitting over the highly experimental universe reset button incase something somehow destroys realspace and honestly that sounds like something the inquisition would do "just in case"(and knowing what little I do about the warhammer fantasy universe, that might not actually be that crazy of a thing to require).
So... this video is scattered... Chaotic... even? The Inquisition would like too know your location. They already know where it is, but they want you too think you're safe.
"If me and teclis were in a room together, one of us would come out pregnant." that actually worked, i was listening in on this video while multitasking and tabbed right back in to make sure i heard what i heard
They are pretty repetitive imo. Especially if you read them one after another. They are like Clive Cussler books, overall plot is the same, just people and backgrounds change. And you know, Deus ex Jurgen melta
@@szymonkmita6802 I actually agree to an extent, as someone who pretty much binged the books. While I recommend and love them, I recommend you take some time or consume a book from a different series between books or at least every few books. Otherwise, you really start noticing the formula that is used for most of the Cain books
Fun fact, real inquisitors used less torture than local lords and use of torture was heavily regulated. It was also used in a way that might be counterintuitive for us. It was used After the main interrogation, only to confirm if there was any doubts. It was often stopped fast or not used at all, if the Inquisitor had no doubts about truthfulnes of the prisoner. Spanish Inquisition left detailed and massive archive so we know a lot about it. There was also no need for fancy tools, as good old joint ripping strapado required only a piece of rope, and some place above the head to tie it. It's a universal method, currently very popular in [REDACTED] country in it's minority camps.
They also weren't particularily prone to sentencing people to death, unless they were literal, repeat-offending, unrepentent heretics. I read once that an analysis of church records showed only about a 2% rate of capital punishment for inquisitorial investigations. People were indeed often found innocent and even when they were found guilty, they'd often receive only a stern talking to and a proverbial slap on the wrist, the general assumption being that the common layman lacked the kind of training to recognize and debunk heretical teachings and therefore couldn't be blamed for being deceived.
Also, despite the "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition", they would actually send letters ahead of themselves saying they're coming to investigate you.
Inquisition jails were also far gentler than secular jails. Oh, and they had better wine, too. More than a few criminals would feign blasphemy just so they'd get transferred to the Inquisition's jails from the secular ones, only to repent of their blasphemy once asked by the Inquisitor so they get off scott-free.
They did however very much interrogate and Torture children which then led them to burn down entire villages because they would just blurt out every name they know. So i guess you win some u lose some.
The talk about the absolute power of Inquisitors and in fighting reminds me of an anecdote about how in a Dark Heresy game, end game the only viable threat to the PCs is another Inquisitor and their retinue.
Then Cawl knows he isn't above the law but actively dares any Inquisitor to try to stop him. Not even in the usual Magos was of "conveniently" have production issues during investigations. He just asserts dominance over his detractors, Inquisitors included, by t-posing in binary to intimidate them
As it was said in the celestial Lions book and inquisitor's power is mostly illusion. People listen to them because they are an Inquisitor and have power because people listen to them. If an Inquisitor starts losing power then they're basically free game to be taken out, especially if you have one of their rival inquisitors backing you up
I like how the first two listed Radical factions came seconds after talking about the Ynnari, a faction whose leader could *absolutely* resurrect the Emperor without issue or even likely much difficulty. The one problem with this is it challenges the Guilliman+Yvraine ship, and people will pry that canon from my dead hands. And don't worry Pancreas, all of this is in fact being filed away for an upcoming Dark Heresy game.
So ordos are basically just what happens when you find all of the cool people you like talking to in a discord server and you make your own discord server with those people because you know it's just a matter of time before somebody gets banned for saying something offensive.
And then there's this one person who's opinion nobody likes (or who's way too arrogant) and says "Fuck you, i'm creating my own ordo and none of you can join!"
The Inquisition is honestly my favorite Imperium faction. They are the most diverse with the best stories and characters and you can tell ANY kind of story of any genre with the Inquisition. They're the most interesting faction as a result of just how whacky diverse they are in their politics and structure.
Dark Heresy was fun when it popped up. You are inquisitorial goons who gets tasked by an inquisitorial patron. You have a reason to hop planets around Scintilla and poke into all levels of civilian imperial society.
If I had to wager a guess to what the ordo thanatos do, I would say investigating the causes of death either as individual autopsies or larger societal trends. For the secret police faction there certainly is a forensic pathology department and it is interesting to know if people die by little green spots that giggle at you.
GW started writing out inquisitorial weirdos for the skirmish game Inquisitor. Some are interested in post-life existence. Including the state of the Emperor.

Wonder if an inquisitor ever used lima beans to torture someone, maybe they saw that episode of SpongeBob where he hired two dudes to torture himself for the kids and mistook it for truth.
Genuinely cool idea: an order of suicidal inquisitors/ones deemed heretical by the other orders who work with the warp who are sent to doomed planets overran by orcs, tyrannids, etc, and have them open portals to unleash chaos armies. Reason why this order would exist in lore: instead of wasting (non)valuable guardsmen and (actually)valuable resources trying to retake a planet, you send these guys down there, have them open a few portals, and have all the enemies of the imperium duke it out with each other, weakening the hold on the planet. Once the fighting is done and the enemy is undoubtably weakened and tired, send the armies of terra to wipe out whoever is left and successfully reclaim the planet in the name of the god emperor. After all, if you’re gonna be a heretic slated to die might as well die helping the emperium right?
Sounds like the inquisitor that caused the ork vs tyranid war. The orks got big, and the tyranids adapted off the orc biomass and became orkynids. Anyway the tyranids got bored of the orks and decided to eat somewhere else.
That is the worst idea chaos incursions are hardest to remove from a planet not because they are hard to kill but because they can corrupt the soul of places and things which is much harder to fix then even tyranid infestation after all tyranids cant turn rocks into recruiting tools. Even worse if chaos gets a skilled/crazy enough sorcerer they can make a planet a demon world and immune to orbital bonbardmant
My favourite ordo of the Inquisition was an obscure branch of essentially holistic detectives. Who ignored any idea of conventional investigations and just did what they thought the universe wanted. Despite the ordo being practically irrelevant and seen as a waste of resources, they somehow have one of the highest success rates.
When I think of a radical inquisitor I think of an inquisitor on a skateboard and when I think of a radical puritan I think of one riding a skateboard. Thanks for helping me picture it in my mind.
The Legion of the Damned are my favorite Space Marines. Hearing that one of them was trapped by the Inquisition means I want to see the Legion beat the Top Hat boys' ass across the galaxy.
We also have no freaking idea what Ordo Chronos is up to...their either a group of idiots fighting over the calendars or, essentially, time lords in setting so who knows there
*Great Rift cut the Galaxy in half* Meanwhile in the Throne Room: “I think I just crapped out 5 warp rifts during that presentation.” -Big E after learning about the Inquisition P.S.

I want a sitcom of a ordo originatus and ordo redactus inquisitor chasing after the same historical document and constantly trying to block and outmaneuver the each other. and it turns out the historical document was just the list of snacks for one of the first inquisition meetings or something like that.
I just want you to know that my uncle, a Warhammer Fantasy enjoyer, walked in on me asking what food we should have for dinner on at the exact segment where you mentioned that "If Teclis was locked in a room with me" part. Needless to say we're going to an all-you-can-eat buffet tonight so thank you Mr. Pancreas.
In regards to the Radical/Puritan split, it's even more complicated too, because you can have Inquisitors who don't even have consistent views. Like, an Inquisitor who follows the Emperor's stance that EVERYTHING about Chaos needs to be obliterated but has a "live and let live" stance with aliens because again that was the Emperor's stance. Or one who views Chaos and its influence as nothing more than tools that can be used to SUFFER NOT THE ALIEN. Is one of those Inquisitors a Puritan or a Radical? Yes.

in the first edition of Warhammer 40k rouge trader their an inquisitor named Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau and now I wonder what a inquisitor columbo be like
My personal Ordo Is the "Ordo Ordinatus" which specializes in finding and securing the most destructive weapons for the imperium and test them out. Simply finding the biggest guns and see what they do. Maybe there a sub ordo of the Ordo Excorom.
Context: the word ‘puritan’ in the real world never meant conservative or even orthodox (with respect to Protestantism). not saying that pancreas stated this or implied it, just pointing out a somewhat common source of confusion. The puritans, loosely, were the protestants of England who felt the Anglican Church wasn’t _radical ENOUGH_ in its reform. Indeed to this day Anglicanism is characterized as a reformation movement closer to Catholicism than Protestantism. We can thank the puritans for the eager early settlement of the Americas because their persecution and tension with the Church of England made the prospect of a new settlement where they could practice in peace very appealing. For better or worse, the character of Christianity in the western settlements like the Boer republics and Australia was primarily shaped by the Protestant majority which sought these posts.
It didn't mean that at first but in "modern" usage from over a hundred years ago it did. People who aren't puritans see them as old fashioned and conservative as compared to other sects of christianity...
I remember a Xenos Inquisitor in the Deathwatch book who let his female agent get captured the Genestealer cult on the planet and had her get impregnated so she would give birth to a Genestealer for him in order to see if the Imperium could control the Hive Mind. But hey, we got Kill Team Talon out of it.
@@Idazmi7 Honestly it was pretty weird. The Killteam encounters numerous women held up against the walls by chitin material. The Female Inquisitorial Agent was malnourished, no hair on her head, and the embryo of the new Pure Strain Genestealer was seen in her stomach.
Don’t forget that some Inquisitors have a certain fascination with the forms of Genestealers and how their Callidus Assassins can take on said form. Gussy.
The notion of the lawn suddenly randomly turning purple and nothing else happening just its purple now because of a refractive layer that perfectly matches the wavelength of purple becomeong a thing and thousands of people are sent to watch grass grow with no explanation amuses me
the latest Eisenhorn book, the one from a few years ago, Magos, touches on how inquistors intentionally recruit incompetent/chaos touched people into the inquisition because the older inquistors who take on apprentices are often the ones who have started to 'push the boundaries' and either want more people who think like them in the ordo, or want stupid people in the ordo because they plan to go rogue. It then becomes a sort of self fulfilling prophecy.
The last section of a pancreas video is like spinning the mystery box in COD zombies.

Xenos Hybres have the rare 40k super power of not being batshit for 3 seconds and actually trying to solve a problem with basic logic skills. I'm sure Guilleman loves them

Thank you for all the work you put into this video and getting it posted up, it’s great and I really enjoyed this one. So I learned about got interested in 40k mostly for the novels, my favorites were always the ones like the Eisenhorn series, the Ravenor series, and the Calpurnia series. I loved the stories that focused on life in the Imperium and investigating threats and crimes within it. After all you can only read so many books about giant epic battles before they all start blurring together. And I went nuts for the Dark Heresy game books. So yeah when I finally started looking into 40k tabletop I wanted to form a Inquisition Army only to find out exactly how hard it was to get models for them and they hadn’t printed a new codex for them in like two or three editions. It played a big part in me bouncing off the hobby hard, although there were other reasons. I ended up getting way more into Battletech in the end. Now though with the return of the Old World, whose lore I love, and with some of the Inquisition related armies getting some love along with just having more time and money. I’m genuinely thinking of forming an Inquisition Kill Team and maybe going from there. We’ll have to see! It would be awesome to play my Oc Inquisitor from Dark Heresy on the table. This video just got me even more fired up for that! So thanks again!
Honestly, the phrase "If me and Teclis were ever in a room together, one of us is coming out pregnant" did manage to make me refocus on the video, so i think it worked
I want to take this opportunity to gush at how much I LOVE Eisenhorn and the series as a whole. His change as a character is fantastic and even in the later Bequin books he is a force of nature and you can't help but love every scene he's in.
There was the skirmish game Inquisitor where you played an Inquisitor plus goon squad half-roleplaying investigations and cult-busting. The Eisenhorn books were made in parallell. GW expanded a bunch of stuff with that game. I mostly liked how it blurred the line between mini wargame and RPG.
Pancreas. As someone who studied the Inquisition and the factions - and the Ordos! - for games of Inquisitor and Dark Heresy, let me just say HOLY SHIT. For an Eldar simp, you really put the lead out in studying this one topic.
I don’t know about the Spanish Inquisition specifically, but I can definitely think of some very real torture devices that were in vogue around that time. The “Heretics Pear” comes to mind, (use your imagination)

It’s hard to believe this
51 fucking minutes of Pancreas?? Bro this Sunday just turned amazing fuck yeah, you are legit the only UA-camr I get excited to watch anymore bro your sense of humour is top notch

Finding out that a founding member of the Inquisition fell to chaos is fucking hysterical. The organization was fucked from the start lol.
It's good to see the organisation sticking to it's traditions.
Might even be two. I mean, we know literally nothing about one of the four, so there's no telling what they were up to.
@@darthplagueis13 They are the desolatus one.
As it turns out, granting an organization near limitless power and no oversight or checks & balances was a BAD idea.
That was an omen for things to come.

Wonder if an inquisitor ever used lima beans to torture someone, maybe they saw that episode of SpongeBob where he hired two dudes to torture himself for the kids and mistook it for truth.
Khorne worshipers maybe? They're most likely meat eaters so.....
I'd just laugh.
Genuinely cool idea: an order of suicidal inquisitors/ones deemed heretical by the other orders who work with the warp who are sent to doomed planets overran by orcs, tyrannids, etc, and have them open portals to unleash chaos armies. Reason why this order would exist in lore: instead of wasting (non)valuable guardsmen and (actually)valuable resources trying to retake a planet, you send these guys down there, have them open a few portals, and have all the enemies of the imperium duke it out with each other, weakening the hold on the planet. Once the fighting is done and the enemy is undoubtably weakened and tired, send the armies of terra to wipe out whoever is left and successfully reclaim the planet in the name of the god emperor. After all, if you’re gonna be a heretic slated to die might as well die helping the emperium right?
“Even in -death- heresy, I still serve!”
Sounds like the inquisitor that caused the ork vs tyranid war.
The orks got big, and the tyranids adapted off the orc biomass and became orkynids.
Anyway the tyranids got bored of the orks and decided to eat somewhere else.
That is the worst idea chaos incursions are hardest to remove from a planet not because they are hard to kill but because they can corrupt the soul of places and things which is much harder to fix then even tyranid infestation after all tyranids cant turn rocks into recruiting tools. Even worse if chaos gets a skilled/crazy enough sorcerer they can make a planet a demon world and immune to orbital bonbardmant
that sounds great until you realize Orks get stronger from constant fighting and that nids straight up block the warp
@@rileygladue3979 take a page from Kryptmann's book.
My favourite ordo of the Inquisition was an obscure branch of essentially holistic detectives. Who ignored any idea of conventional investigations and just did what they thought the universe wanted. Despite the ordo being practically irrelevant and seen as a waste of resources, they somehow have one of the highest success rates.
When I think of a radical inquisitor I think of an inquisitor on a skateboard and when I think of a radical puritan I think of one riding a skateboard. Thanks for helping me picture it in my mind.
The irl puritans were indeed pretty radical. "State forcing you to observe a superstitious holiday called Christmas? Go make your own country!"
"Nobody expects the imperial inquisition!"
The Legion of the Damned are my favorite Space Marines. Hearing that one of them was trapped by the Inquisition means I want to see the Legion beat the Top Hat boys' ass across the galaxy.
Weshammer went over the story on his channel. It did not end well for the Inquisitor.
@@jaredrussell4064 Nice - any time the Top Hat boys lose to Imperial loyalists is good.
@@antimuppet yep, couldn't remember the name when I posted this but is called "Perdition's Flame"
He did it for science, nothing personal.
We also have no freaking idea what Ordo Chronos is up to...their either a group of idiots fighting over the calendars or, essentially, time lords in setting so who knows there
*Great Rift cut the Galaxy in half*
Meanwhile in the Throne Room: “I think I just crapped out 5 warp rifts during that presentation.”

We making it out of an exterminatus with this one.
Congratulations, Pancreas! I wish you and Teclis all the best!
I want a sitcom of a ordo originatus and ordo redactus inquisitor chasing after the same historical document and constantly trying to block and outmaneuver the each other. and it turns out the historical document was just the list of snacks for one of the first inquisition meetings or something like that.
I just want you to know that my uncle, a Warhammer Fantasy enjoyer, walked in on me asking what food we should have for dinner on at the exact segment where you mentioned that "If Teclis was locked in a room with me" part.
Needless to say we're going to an all-you-can-eat buffet tonight so thank you Mr. Pancreas.
33:13 I am now imagining a Sentor Armstrong inquisitor. It is the best image my mind has ever created.
In regards to the Radical/Puritan split, it's even more complicated too, because you can have Inquisitors who don't even have consistent views. Like, an Inquisitor who follows the Emperor's stance that EVERYTHING about Chaos needs to be obliterated but has a "live and let live" stance with aliens because again that was the Emperor's stance. Or one who views Chaos and its influence as nothing more than tools that can be used to SUFFER NOT THE ALIEN.
Is one of those Inquisitors a Puritan or a Radical? Yes.
It was a very rough boundary in Inquisitor. Roughly how much xenos nonsense and warp buggery and really esoteric traditions a bloke gets into.
Yay, my favorite group was mentioned.
Chronos - when you do your job so well you fix the very reason you where created before you where created.

That have incorrect information. On public wifi networks it does... nothing really to hode you. They cannot see who you are talking to, but YOU are still very much visible to anyone else on it. Do not use public wifi to do safety important things like banking. Go to data for those. It is worth it to be safe
No, you can do Lan blocking with pia
in the first edition of Warhammer 40k rouge trader their an inquisitor named Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau and now I wonder what a inquisitor columbo be like
You put an Inquisitor model in your army of in your game and see.
My personal Ordo Is the "Ordo Ordinatus" which specializes in finding and securing the most destructive weapons for the imperium and test them out. Simply finding the biggest guns and see what they do. Maybe there a sub ordo of the Ordo Excorom.
Context: the word ‘puritan’ in the real world never meant conservative or even orthodox (with respect to Protestantism). not saying that pancreas stated this or implied it, just pointing out a somewhat common source of confusion.
The puritans, loosely, were the protestants of England who felt the Anglican Church wasn’t _radical ENOUGH_ in its reform. Indeed to this day Anglicanism is characterized as a reformation movement closer to Catholicism than Protestantism.
We can thank the puritans for the eager early settlement of the Americas because their persecution and tension with the Church of England made the prospect of a new settlement where they could practice in peace very appealing.
For better or worse, the character of Christianity in the western settlements like the Boer republics and Australia was primarily shaped by the Protestant majority which sought these posts.
It didn't mean that at first but in "modern" usage from over a hundred years ago it did. People who aren't puritans see them as old fashioned and conservative as compared to other sects of christianity...
36:41 makes me imagine Pixy from Ace Combat Zero as an inquisitor. I love that mental image.
"Yo, buddy still alive?"

Bro, i already had my workout today. You're late to be my workout content.
I remember a Xenos Inquisitor in the Deathwatch book who let his female agent get captured the Genestealer cult on the planet and had her get impregnated so she would give birth to a Genestealer for him in order to see if the Imperium could control the Hive Mind. But hey, we got Kill Team Talon out of it.
That guy wouldve loved Legienstrasse
Female Inquisitor: "WHY!?"
Male Inquisitor: "Oooooh, you want to know why? Because *this. Is. My...* *_FFFFFFETISH!!!!!_* MWAHAHAHAHAH!!!"
@@Idazmi7 Honestly it was pretty weird. The Killteam encounters numerous women held up against the walls by chitin material. The Female Inquisitorial Agent was malnourished, no hair on her head, and the embryo of the new Pure Strain Genestealer was seen in her stomach.
Don’t forget that some Inquisitors have a certain fascination with the forms of Genestealers and how their Callidus Assassins can take on said form.
Gussy.
Legienstrasse intensifies
The notion of the lawn suddenly randomly turning purple and nothing else happening just its purple now because of a refractive layer that perfectly matches the wavelength of purple becomeong a thing and thousands of people are sent to watch grass grow with no explanation amuses me
Holy Moly, I'm glad you are making longer vids. I love it
I recognised your voice in the last Tech & Mek!
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
the latest Eisenhorn book, the one from a few years ago, Magos, touches on how inquistors intentionally recruit incompetent/chaos touched people into the inquisition because the older inquistors who take on apprentices are often the ones who have started to 'push the boundaries' and either want more people who think like them in the ordo, or want stupid people in the ordo because they plan to go rogue. It then becomes a sort of self fulfilling prophecy.
This was worth watching for the small spoiler and glimmer of hope that Kyril managed to survive the heresy
I love the description of those two rascally necrons relationship
The last section of a pancreas video is like spinning the mystery box in COD zombies. Are you going to be given a funny joke, interesting lore implications, valid question about something, or just plain degeneracy. Fyi I think the degeneracy is the equivalent of getting the teddy bear cause I know pancreas is laughing at us for not expecting to get one every so often.
Xenos Hybres have the rare 40k super power of not being batshit for 3 seconds and actually trying to solve a problem with basic logic skills. I'm sure Guilleman loves them

I do enjoy how unabashedly thirsty pancreas is. Might make Vakir a little suspicious though--there's such a thing as being *too* eager to please!
Excelent. My 2nd favorite way to listen to 40k Lore. And almost a full hour of it too!
"Just two sticks and a rock you have to share" OO-RAH!! 😂
I'm working on a custom ordo, Ordo Salus. They're the occupational safety and health inspectors of the imperium
That bit about Teclis Killed me for a moment i had to go for a walk. Good one
I also got too horny and had to walk it off.
I honestly like your take on lore videos. I've seen so many that feel like someone reading from a book without any input. Yours definitely have some personal flair which is nice.
What a great video. Too bad pancreas was never seen or heard from again shortly after posting.
Whats this? A damn near hour long video discussing lore of an interest i have? Well thats right up my alley there chief :)
just to be clear. a VPN DOES ABSOLUTELY NOT secure you from hackers when you are connected to a public wi-fi station. (firewalls and other defences do BUT NOT A VPN)
I Genuinely believe there an Ordo Roastus where it's just ordo that spy on fellow inquisitors to find stuff that could be used to roast them on the next Inquisitor Meet
If we’re getting technical, Naruto’s best equivalent is the Ghal Vorbak, a daemonhost whose more in symbiosis with the thing possessing him rather than the daemon just puppeteering a meat suit
Holy Crap he mentioned Dark Heresy!!!! I have been summoned!!! Time to start another disastrous campaign!!!
50 min lore dump from pancreas i gotta lock in
Thank you for all the work you put into this video and getting it posted up, it’s great and I really enjoyed this one.
So I learned about got interested in 40k mostly for the novels, my favorites were always the ones like the Eisenhorn series, the Ravenor series, and the Calpurnia series. I loved the stories that focused on life in the Imperium and investigating threats and crimes within it. After all you can only read so many books about giant epic battles before they all start blurring together. And I went nuts for the Dark Heresy game books.
So yeah when I finally started looking into 40k tabletop I wanted to form a Inquisition Army only to find out exactly how hard it was to get models for them and they hadn’t printed a new codex for them in like two or three editions. It played a big part in me bouncing off the hobby hard, although there were other reasons. I ended up getting way more into Battletech in the end.
Now though with the return of the Old World, whose lore I love, and with some of the Inquisition related armies getting some love along with just having more time and money. I’m genuinely thinking of forming an Inquisition Kill Team and maybe going from there. We’ll have to see! It would be awesome to play my Oc Inquisitor from Dark Heresy on the table.
This video just got me even more fired up for that! So thanks again!
Honestly, the phrase "If me and Teclis were ever in a room together, one of us is coming out pregnant" did manage to make me refocus on the video, so i think it worked
I want to take this opportunity to gush at how much I LOVE Eisenhorn and the series as a whole. His change as a character is fantastic and even in the later Bequin books he is a force of nature and you can't help but love every scene he's in.
"What do you remember from a video about Inquisition?"
"Possibly Pregnant Teclis, bet you didn't expect that."
This is why I’m excited for the agents of the imperium codex
Balls.

Ocules imperia’s videos on the inquisition are probably the best example of what the inquisition truly is. Gives me chills whenever I listen.
i feel like he makes good videos but i can never hear him over the music. its crazy how some simple audio production can make someone unwatchable.
In case you are wondering, DARK HERESY is the Inquisitor RPG setting.
Be seeing you.
There was the skirmish game Inquisitor where you played an Inquisitor plus goon squad half-roleplaying investigations and cult-busting. The Eisenhorn books were made in parallell.
GW expanded a bunch of stuff with that game. I mostly liked how it blurred the line between mini wargame and RPG.
Headcanon that Istvaanists all instinctively quote Senator Armstrong from time to time

"One step forward. Two step back" - the Inquisition.
Too late, Pancreas
I'm already inside your walls
Pancreas. As someone who studied the Inquisition and the factions - and the Ordos! - for games of Inquisitor and Dark Heresy, let me just say HOLY SHIT. For an Eldar simp, you really put the lead out in studying this one topic.
To be fair, the devices they actually did use were still pretty horrific.
I don’t know about the Spanish Inquisition specifically, but I can definitely think of some very real torture devices that were in vogue around that time. The “Heretics Pear” comes to mind, (use your imagination)
