The thing that strikes me about the Coteaz model is that the changes to his physique make him seem a bit more like a space marine. Because with GW, everything has to be space marines.
I'm convinced the model originally was a space marine. But someone realized they needed a new Coteaz real quick, so the 3D model was repurposed. And really, imagine you had the opportunity to make a sick-ass new Coteaz model...and didn't try aping the dynamic pose from the art being used as the book's cover. A bald dude in power armor about to strike from overhead with a huge hammer would be great. It works for both Space Marines and Stormcast Eternals.
To be fair Inquisitors - especially combat-based ones - have been known to have enhancements similar to the Astartes (but far more unique) in the lore and this has been the case for a long time now. The now discontinued Inquisitor Hector Rex was 8ft tall and clad in what appears to be Cataphractii Terminator armour. Also the old Coteaz model was already the same kind of size as the firstborn marines that came out at the same time.
Honestly, a lot of the Proxies look better than GW Models. And OOP Models are available 1:1, current ones too. Still buying Codexes though, and Books. What GW does is a shame, the lore is so cool. Maybe tournament scene is big enough, its the only place they can force this shit.
I don’t know if it’s the worst thing they have ever done. Squatting old marines for me was the worst , this is still pretty shite though it ripped apart my deathwatch and punished me for making it a full army after selling it as that for over 6 years. Real cheap there GW.
When the new Sanguinor comes out the first thing I'm going to check for now is whether his nipples crossed the rubicon primaris, and that's your fault 😂
If you're reading this, save yourself. There is life after GW. I have saved tens of thousands of dollars over the past 13 years since I quit playing GW games. I can afford retirement now.
If l get a new Coteaz model I will probably paint him a different colour, give him a different head and give him a new name. How about Cardinal Ximinez because no one expects the Spanish inquisition.
man instead of a multipart Inquisitor kit with all kinds of funky gear to equip them with we get diaperboy. I'm not sure which sucks more, the w i d e Custodes we got or that guy
The not creditng staff is interesting but... if you think about it, negative shifts in GW have been as old as late 1990s. Just look at how amazing the high elf army book and eldar 3rd edition codex are. They have not had that classically trained painter work for them since because they started implementing a policy of they will not put artists in credits and just show art copyright GW to make artists anominous in a way to sort of control and limit notiarity artist can get which keeps them in house and asking for less money because they get less recognition. and again talking about warhammer 40k 3rd ed, its 2024 and we are in 10th now, its like cycles of progress and destruction. And also looking at the 9th edditon genestealer codex that art is a total upgrade from everything after and what preceded it. So inquistor whats his name being ruined from his first iteration is a downward trend, the trend seems to be more of a constant entropy with life followed by death, ironicaly kind of like nurge, its allways decaying but yet, new life sometimes. If you look at stuff pre 3rd eddtion they totaly did not have that cool extra gothic astetic, 2nd ed was more of a bright comic style, and 1st was a clownshow which is mocked relentlesly.
When I saw the reveal, I immediately thought: "Well, this faction will probably get canned in the next edition." I generally like the idea of having some impactful 40k rules for all those models and the ragtag style of the army. But the fact that they didn't even bother to give them at least one unifying battleline unit makes this feel incredibly lazy and like they are just trying to clear space in the warehouse. No matter how cool those models are, this isn't an army I would invest in due to its questionable longevity alone.
It's been a while since I dipped in to WH40k, I started with the original Rogue Trader hard back with randomly rolled units. They have always been like this and frankly, in these days of 3D scanners and 3D Resin printers they are not just pissing on your carpet, they are shitting in a bowl and telling you its pudding by trying to do this kind of exclusivity FOMO marketing. I came to the conclusion that they are not remotely interested in retaining players, they are mainly interested in getting new players and ensuring that the 2nd hand market is an unviable way to get codex and models so every few years the new kids have to buy new books and new models. It's disgusting and apparently really profitable. Once upon a time they used to publish sprue pictures with scales on them so you could build your own stuff, but I imagine that has gone way by the wayside.
If the packaging of minis upsets you that much, do what a friend of mine used to do back when there were only a couple of boxes and a dozen blisters (remember those?) available for each of about five armies - sculpt your own. This gentlemen had a Marine army mostly self-cast with reference to a few RTB01 figures he borrowed from someone else, and he swore that it only took a few weekends of experiments, a few dollars worth of styli, silicon rubber and lead, and some apologies to his mum about ruined saucepans to get six or seven core sculpts which he could customise using bitz he bought from other friends for literal pocket change. The big sticking point, he said, was pouring the lead carefully enough that the knobbles on the pauldrons came out right. Once they were painted you could only spot the differences from RTB01 Marines if you picked them up. I'm sure modern 3D printing would make this sort of thing even easier. People have been bewailing the mismanagement and immanent collapse of the hobby since GW stopped selling individual Chaos Warriors for a pound fifty a go and the tale of the Dark Millennium mysteriously always manages to toddle on. That probably means GW are doing something right, however counter-intuitive that might be. I've long suspected that something is inspiring hobbyists to use their spare time on activities more constructive than tossing weekly scripted hissy fits on UA-cam. When do you ever get anything painted?
The prices have completely killed the stores here in the east coast of the USA. We had "the bunker" like a hq store and 3 others years ago. Now we are down to one store with 1 guy running it alone.
I don't like what GW does and I own a good printer an it's going "brrrt" for months now, but half of the rant is about things that you don't know they existed (The inquisition from around 4th edition, the Corvus Blackstar ... ). You should do your homework then ask for the hard earned youtube money!
@@StarkeRealm If you bring Amberly, bring Mott as well. Maybe give him a special rule just for fun that if you can predict one of your opponent's dice rolls (per game, or per round), you can cancel this dice roll - to show his knack on predicting probabilities that got him and Cain banned from multiple gambling establishments.
Here's my guess: These product demonstrations aren't made for you Warhammer veterans, they're made for the kids who are getting into 40k since 10th edition's launch.
UA-camr not reusing the same pic of putting their arm on their hand difficulty: impossible. Look at your gallery of videos, you used to not have clickbait videos now it's literally all clickbait videos with negative slants on the hobby. You haven't even bothered to take another pic of you looking overwhelmed. Low effort content
To be fair they discontinued Fantasy because nobody was buying anything. Everyone was complaining the system was old and clunky. It had reached the limits of growth and it's campaigns were poorly "attended". So essentially the playerbase killed it and it got a reset. Old world is just money grabbing from idiots with rose tinted glasses and you know it'll get dropped once it's served it's purpose.
@@jamesvalentine2845 Yeah, thats exactly what GW said. It was NOT to focus their energy on 40k. It was NOT because AOS was blindly following space marines lore and style, this auto-cannibalizing itself. Just look: how many videogames about AOS do you see around?
@@LaPaginadiLeonardo fantasy was dead before age of sigmar. So blaming it is silly. And just look at how well old world has taken off...it just hasn't. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see history repeat itself. Blame it on whatever you want. It died because of community interest
Well, to have Inquisitorial Stormtroopers, you'd need to have a Stormtrooper box first, not the faction-locked guys like Kasrkin or Scions. And again, our friends in the Far East come to the rescue, allowing us to get the old, still badass-looking Stormtroopers for less than half the price of a current GW box.
Some of us have played Inquisitors since they first showed up in the original Rulebook - Rogue Trader 40 ish years ago, roll a D4 to see how many Jokaro digital weapons your inquisitor has, if you roll a 4 Roll an Additional D6 🙂But honestly the point with Inquisitors is that they are supposed to have the power to requisition whoever they need as backup, the Ordo's Xenos, Hereticus and Maleus are supposed to be tiny factions within the Inquisition with far more Inquisitors ordinary out there, not to mention all sorts of even smaller factions
One of my favorite armies was my Sisterless Sisters of Battle from Codex Witch Hunters (okay, I had a unit of Sisters Repentia). It was simply an Inquisitor with retinue, Inquisitorial Storm Troopers (old school 5th Element police style), Penitent Engines, etc. It was a bit of glass cannon but it looked SO GOOD. All those old minis were so full of character, they still hold up even 25 years later. Modern GW minis just lack soul.
I started 3d printing because GW locked Heavy Intercessors behind a paywall/boxed exclusive. From there, I never looked back. I haven't bought a GW model in 4 years and even left their games to play OnePageRules games.
I have no problem with a bundle box being unique, in the good old days you'd sometimes get less poses and less parts, sometimes even monopose one piece models which would help bring the costs way way down compared to the bought separately versions. But they where still a great looking mini and the price is right to let people get into the hobby or bulk up their forces. But taking stuff that has been and should be available separately...
Objectively the new Coteaz model is at worst, a bit bland. The problem is we have a better model to compare it to, and indeed, they showed it off in tandem with the cover of the Codex which shows Coteaz looking very different. With modern miniature technology, I was expecting detailed engravings on the armour, maybe some extra details showing how he was a man in Power Armour rather than a Space Marine, as they did with Kor Phaeron. But no, it's smooth, featureless and the kind of dull, in front of a picture of him covered in engravings, scrollwork, that kind of thing. Dullness and mediocrity in a character iconic to an Army that's had table scraps in 3rd Ed. Remember, this guy's meant to be the visual focal point of your army, he is less intricate or impressive than most of the generic new Stormcast troops. Imagine if one of those new jump pack space marines had been the re-release of Dante and basically he had an axe and was painted gold. It's boring. It looks unfinished. And they have to know this, but they keep pushing it, like they're proud of it.
The Inquisitor lady with the big hairdo and the... shotgun-flamer (?) looks great. I wish she was still available. I know we have Greyfax, but I prefer flamboyant hairdo lady Inquisitor.
I own enough assassins, inquisitors, and Kill Teams that I could put together an Agents of Imperium list, but I’m incredibly disappointed that GW has decided to half@ss the new faction by creating the Battleforce boxes sprinkled with a few OLD Agent models, rather than a new line of Inquisitors and Assassins, and some new units and possibly vehicles - or at least upgrade sprues to modify existing units and vehicles! 10e has been terribly disappointing in terms of new and/or updated models. Aside from Leviathan’s new Space Marines and Tyranids units, there have been few new units for other factions, just a half dozen new characters spread between Necrons, Dark Angels, Orks, and CSM. The only new units were the Kroot for Tau and Inner Circle Companions for Dark Angels. I suppose the Kroot line is analogous to the Orks’ Beast Snagga line from 9e, but the key difference is that the Orks army box sold out immediately, whereas you can still find the Kroot army box 3+ months later. I think a lot of WH40K players assumed that the reason for the (relative) dirth of new units in 10e was because GW was focusing on the two new factions: Agents of Imperium and Emperor’s Children. But now we’ve learned that GW isn’t releasing any new Imperium Agents units; they’re just packing some old Agent characters into Battleforce boxes with an assortment of unsold units. If a new-ish faction isn’t getting a new model line in 10e, there’s little hope for new units for the remaining factions that haven’t received their 10e codices yet. It seems like GW is neglecting WH40K in favour of their other games, like Necromunda, Horus Heresy, Age of Sigmar, and Kill Team.
The inquisition acolytes or whatever they're called, are probably the least offensive part of the boxes, even the one that comes with 2 of them, as each model in the box can be built in 2 ways, so at least they have that.
I didn't realize inquisitors haven't been around in the current edition. I always just saw an Inquisition army as "Take an inquisitor, give him a retinue, a squad of stormtroopers and a company of riflemen, then put him in command of a Sisters, Grey Knights or Deathwatch army. I just kind of assumed those armies could already take an inquisitor in the current edition, since there have historically been multiple periods when the only way to play those armies was with an Inquisition Codex. They're just so linked in my mind because those armies act as the military arms for the Ordos. Like "What do you mean I can't play Ordo Xenos, but I can play Deathwatch?" Imagine if you could play Kroot, but not Tau.
"Imperial Agents". Sounds more Star Wars. Someone turned the AI name machine for that one. That's all they can do. "Imperial Agents". A tome for Inquisition, Rogue Traders and Space Pirates of some kind, maybe named SPACE PIRATES, would have been a nice choice. I think everyone wants Eldar Pirates back. I suppose we're seeing the curse of the younger so called devs, with little to no life experience or other IPs to inspire off of for Warhammer, that hasn't already been ridden a few times. They need to finalize a rules set and that's it. They are already there.
The prices over time are just about the best they have ever been, with inflation and what not, back in the 90's I was paying $35 a box. The models are the best they have ever been. I don't have to spend an hour per guy snipping pewter wisps, and filling.
It boggles me that there are more Imperium armies than non Imperium armies. Or it seems that way. Just looked at a site says they are about equal. However back when I played, non space marine armies where out numbered 5 to 1. Made it real easy for me to hate Space Marines.
I can see a solid conversion opportunity with the new & unimproved Coteaz. So that's something, I guess? I dunno, I've always built my Inquisitors as radicals, so I can run them as Chaosified Impy Guard when the support for the actual army ends.
I wouldn't call the Inquisition the "Bad guys" of 40k it's much more nuanced than that it all depends on the Inquisitor and their methods. I would call Chaos the true bad guys. Eisenhorn and Ravenor are definitely more gray than Karamazov or numerous others. My Inquisitor from my 40k continuity Jelcine Enandra of the Ordo Hereticus is a member of the Seculous Attendous and a Recongrigator trying to use her influence to help the little man and weaken the grip of the corrupt Ecclesiarchy. I love the Inquisition after reading the Ravenor and Eisenhorn trilogies and GMing and playing a whole lot of Dark Heresy campaigns.
Ugh poor Coteaz. It was goofy just looking at the new sculpt but it horridness became very clear when compared to the old sculpt. Will be looking for a nice STL of coteaz in the future that isn't a boss baby
I wonder....do you EVER post anything positive or do you spend most of your time complaining about Warhammer? People will play the game none the less and if they are that concerned over cost, print their own models.
New Coteaz isn't a bad model. I would love this coming from some alternative studio for like $10. It's nice to see some variety in shapes of space marines. However, Games Workshop's prices shed different light on what is considered enough quality. Firstly, the armour looks A LOT like a Stormcast. Secondly, the bird has the worst "flying stand" ever. Given the static pose of the guy, it would make sense to let the bird sit on something.
@@LupusGr3y he is enough of a space marine in my opinion. "Why have female space marines, we already have sisters of battle!" This guy is, model-wise, a space marine. Lore is irrelevant if not represented on a model.
I'm annoyed that Death Watch doesn't get to be it's own army anymore. Like I like that you can use Sisters and Grey Knights. But it would have been nice if DW got the same treatment.
There is a simple solution to the errors in the latest 40k heroes ,(and that includes the new Blood Angels ).All G.W. sculptors need to do a basic anatomy course .
Been seeing a uptake of Battletech again. 100 bucks buys you a starter box with 8 mechs and you have enough left over for an extra lance for another 4 mechs. Considering you only need a lance of 4 to play it is VERY cheap to get in.
2 traders in my area have both said never again and stopped stocking Warhammer, one is just not getting any more in but they're a pawn broker initially, the other is a gaming shop that has got so big in the past few years that they had to move into a premises 8x bigger , brotherhood are my go to for gundam but I did buy my first unit from tau pathfinders from them they had a half decent selection of Warhammer in the old shop now none and the owner politely said he'll no to restocking Warhammer in the bigger shop . Brotherhoods new shop constantly has 10-40 people in there most of the day daily 7 days a week so games workshop messed up a good thing
On paper I really like the idea of an Inquisitorial army, of sisters, grey knights and inquisitors teaming up, however it's just a place to put all the random kill teams into 40k even though they killed the warcry teams in AoS and killed playing Heresy units in (still pissed) like fuck your heresy units but your random kill teams they are ok even though they ard that Inquisitorial. Also they just straight up killed Deathwatch as an actual army and that ain't cool. Also they gave Coteax a new model when the generic inquisitor is still in resin, give us a new generic inquisitor and inquisitorial people instead of this half baked codex that exists to sell kill team boxes to 40k, which still makes no sense when GW have been very against letting you play models from different games in games they weren't designed for
Only good thing about these boxes is the models will be sold as "on sprue no box" at a fraction of the cost of the model from GW in its dedicated box, ive managed to build my tank numbers thanks to the age of darkness boxset, im still buying black reach ork sprues because they are still far cheaper than a squad box ✌️🤣
I feel like they are pairing them with Death watch and grey knights to sell old stock so they can prep for the inevitable range rotation to primaris scale
I wonder if the Inquisition would have been better served as it's own game. Maybe a Killteam/ Necromunda style game where one player takes control of a small team made up of maybe like 4 inquisitors/ assistants and the other player takes control of a small force of say 20 Deamons, Xenos or Heretics. Use it to introduce new Inquisitor characters who could be used in 40K as additional heroes in Imperium armies, and use the villainous models as an excuse to create new Mutants/ Deamons/ Xenos/ Heretics and introduce them into other armies. I can imagine for example, new Alien races which are part of the Tau Empire which can be added to a Tau Army. Or maybe like heretic Rattlings to be added to Chaos armies. Or new or even just updates Chaos deamons (I love the Khorne Bloodletters but they are looking a bit old now.) Having a new Imperial Agents codex seems a little overkill. Especially when they have had to steal things from other codex's just to bulk it out.
Big fan of the original Ordo Malleus and Inquisitor models from about 1990, if I remember rightly? Was ALWAYS a fan of The Inquisition, Terminators, everything that was big and scary and grim about 40K Unfortunately Warhammer has now tied itself up in knots because they don't want to offend the blue-haired employees, the woke brigade, or the 28 mag crew who support the original Blanchitsu style because, you know...? So they churn this rubbish out and hope The Old School Collectors will feel guilty enough for being OLD SCHOOL and buy it and The Target Modern Audience will not know about other model companies and buy it as well. Unfortunately pretty much every release has been a turd and there's so much better stuff out there now. The 40K Lore was incredible. Not so much now....
ngl, that Blood & Plunder game is enticing. I was just saying the other day that the only way I'd be into a pirate game is if it was historically accurate. And this looks to check that box. (I'm interested in any new game systems that don't involve GW atm)
the inquisition is the three kobolds in a trench coat of 40k. ideally, imperial agents needs to be either, dispersed to armies that they cooperate with or. the imperial agents "codex" should carry substantial overlap of all the weird shit the imperium does. imperial agents done correctly should be the narrative players codex. freeblades tilting solo? imperial agents. an admech excursion force supporting guard? imperial agents. aquilan shield custodes and operatives off a black ship? imperial agents. arbites getting drafted to support the war front? imperial agents. a very lost rogue trader? imperial agents. imperial agents should be the games corrective codex. half of 40k is imperials. imperial agents should be the fix for oversights of imperial codexes. the opportunity to phone it in with a fair number of codexes. admech cant melee? custodes have taken an interest in the expedition. knights dont have board presence? heres your rules for guard or skittari as household guard. and an enginseer as sacristan. custodes need some cannon fodder? heres how you make scions lucifer blacks. your sororitas are getting railed by eldar and 1k sons? heres greyfax, the assassin she requisitioned and the quiet bunch from the black ships to sort it out. grey knights are still struggling with tanks? heres rules for baneblades that are around long after everyone else has died by virtue of being a baneblade. fill imperial agents with narrative and imperial army overlap. then you can spend a bit more focus on aliens. give chaos a similar treatment, remember default chaos marines? now its chaos version of imperial agents. you can find a stand alone army here. but the bulk of sales are the rest of the superfaction patching holes in their codex for however long they last or they're doing something narratively silly. which leaves eldar, (harlequins and yvraines bunch could patch that as the eldar version. ) gene stealers and tyranids are symptoms of each other. orks are having fun regardless of what anyone else thinks generally. which leaves tau and votann as the only ones that really need help. tau just got kroot to pad out the melee side of the game. and votann needs the other half of their army (gw, poach the necromunda squats into votann) necrons just need a published contents of trayzns collection and an accompanying rule, like bring trayzn and x selection from his collection join the battle as your allies.
You can pretty much bet on GW to do the worst possible thing and never come up short. Especially given how the whales will keep buying the slop. So unlike Disney, who are feeling the pinch and reaping what they sowed when they alienated the Star Wars fanbase by calling them names and telling them that the new content isn't for them, GW will never stop doing bad things, because they're laughing all the way to the bank. Their tactics are working out well for them, which gives them no incentive to change.
Can we just talk about how the new Coteaz model went from having an Inquisitorial Rosette on a chain necklace to...a weird refrigerator magnet slapped on his crotch?
I saw the boxes and thought it would be a good way to get 3 Kill Teams. I think the boxes will cost more sadly As a Deathwatch player I had Agents anyway and if my army is now marines with agents I’m OK with that
After a couple years, I can just listen while painting (eyes on the mini,, not watching the video),, and I can almost see all the funny video insert moments.. Is this an okay thing?!? Love it! Thanks Lord Mistress Discourse, Commissar Badass of the Astrowastes (youtubes)!!

The not creditng staff is interesting but... if you think about it, negative shifts in GW have been as old as late 1990s. Just look at how amazing the high elf army book and eldar 3rd edition codex are. They have not had that classically trained painter work for them since because they started implementing a policy of they will not put artists in credits and just show art copyright GW to make artists anominous in a way to sort of control and limit notiarity artist can get which keeps them in house and asking for less money because they get less recognition.

And also looking at the 9th edditon genestealer codex that art is a total upgrade from everything after and what preceded it.
So inquistor whats his name being ruined from his first iteration is a downward trend, the trend seems to be more of a constant entropy with life followed by death, ironicaly kind of like nurge, its allways decaying but yet, new life sometimes. If you look at stuff pre 3rd eddtion they totaly did not have that cool extra gothic astetic, 2nd ed was more of a bright comic style, and 1st was a clownshow which is mocked relentlesly.
They stopped crediting artists when matt ward left GW due the amount of death threats he received

".....filled with seamen..."....slightest pause and closeup cut to camera..... made my Friday night that did...... comedy timing A+++
When I saw the reveal, I immediately thought: "Well, this faction will probably get canned in the next edition." I generally like the idea of having some impactful 40k rules for all those models and the ragtag style of the army. But the fact that they didn't even bother to give them at least one unifying battleline unit makes this feel incredibly lazy and like they are just trying to clear space in the warehouse. No matter how cool those models are, this isn't an army I would invest in due to its questionable longevity alone.
It's been a while since I dipped in to WH40k, I started with the original Rogue Trader hard back with randomly rolled units.
They have always been like this and frankly, in these days of 3D scanners and 3D Resin printers they are not just pissing on your carpet, they are shitting in a bowl and telling you its pudding by trying to do this kind of exclusivity FOMO marketing.
I came to the conclusion that they are not remotely interested in retaining players, they are mainly interested in getting new players and ensuring that the 2nd hand market is an unviable way to get codex and models so every few years the new kids have to buy new books and new models. It's disgusting and apparently really profitable.
Once upon a time they used to publish sprue pictures with scales on them so you could build your own stuff, but I imagine that has gone way by the wayside.
So we're just gonna gloss over her saying there's multiple ways to 'finish off clan rats'.
Don't kink shame them! 😄
Yes-yes
This whole channel seems to be entirely composed of rage bait
He or She has a point though
If the packaging of minis upsets you that much, do what a friend of mine used to do back when there were only a couple of boxes and a dozen blisters (remember those?) available for each of about five armies - sculpt your own. This gentlemen had a Marine army mostly self-cast with reference to a few RTB01 figures he borrowed from someone else, and he swore that it only took a few weekends of experiments, a few dollars worth of styli, silicon rubber and lead, and some apologies to his mum about ruined saucepans to get six or seven core sculpts which he could customise using bitz he bought from other friends for literal pocket change. The big sticking point, he said, was pouring the lead carefully enough that the knobbles on the pauldrons came out right. Once they were painted you could only spot the differences from RTB01 Marines if you picked them up. I'm sure modern 3D printing would make this sort of thing even easier.
People have been bewailing the mismanagement and immanent collapse of the hobby since GW stopped selling individual Chaos Warriors for a pound fifty a go and the tale of the Dark Millennium mysteriously always manages to toddle on. That probably means GW are doing something right, however counter-intuitive that might be. I've long suspected that something is inspiring hobbyists to use their spare time on activities more constructive than tossing weekly scripted hissy fits on UA-cam. When do you ever get anything painted?
Inquisitor Coteaz armed with a Powa Diaper & Inquisitorial Codpiece....
I really don't understand how that diaper design got through quality control. Even if I got it free I wouldn't waste my painting time on that one.
@@duncanmcdane388wait...you think GW has quality control???
in the 40k millennium...there is only bitching...
The prices have completely killed the stores here in the east coast of the USA. We had "the bunker" like a hq store and 3 others years ago. Now we are down to one store with 1 guy running it alone.
I don't like what GW does and I own a good printer an it's going "brrrt" for months now, but half of the rant is about things that you don't know they existed (The inquisition from around 4th edition, the Corvus Blackstar ... ). You should do your homework then ask for the hard earned youtube money!
I want Eisenhorn, Cherubael and retinue with special rules to flow between Chaos and the Imperium. That would be a great box set!
Amberly would be another Inquisitor that would be fun to see on tabletop.
@@StarkeRealm If you bring Amberly, bring Mott as well. Maybe give him a special rule just for fun that if you can predict one of your opponent's dice rolls (per game, or per round), you can cancel this dice roll - to show his knack on predicting probabilities that got him and Cain banned from multiple gambling establishments.
New Coteaz model is Hank Hill's dad. Pretty sure.
"I killed fiddy men!"
Cotton?
Still would've prefered an Emperors Children release
Here's my guess: These product demonstrations aren't made for you Warhammer veterans, they're made for the kids who are getting into 40k since 10th edition's launch.
What really sucks is that that they couldn't be arsed giving the Arbites a HQ and Detachment...
I always thought that Inquisition is more like CIA in their ruthlessness and brutality.
"Subject was known to the inquisition"
UA-camr not reusing the same pic of putting their arm on their hand difficulty: impossible. Look at your gallery of videos, you used to not have clickbait videos now it's literally all clickbait videos with negative slants on the hobby. You haven't even bothered to take another pic of you looking overwhelmed. Low effort content
Effort goes into the content:)
They did update the retinue in Kill Team. They do look quite good. But Coteaz and Dragonthinglady are the worst models for inquisitors ever.
"It's very confusing, like an orgy in the dark" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was laughing that she popped a picture up too.
@@3Xero3 I didn't even see it hahahahaha
dafuq, how many channels do you have? and why always get worse in all of them?
The worst GW ever did was discontinue Warhammer Fantasy Battles.
At least they brought it back with Old World...
We'll see hiw long will last 😅
It only made the company 3 billion dollars since then, sounds like an awful decision
To be fair they discontinued Fantasy because nobody was buying anything. Everyone was complaining the system was old and clunky. It had reached the limits of growth and it's campaigns were poorly "attended".
So essentially the playerbase killed it and it got a reset.
Old world is just money grabbing from idiots with rose tinted glasses and you know it'll get dropped once it's served it's purpose.
@@jamesvalentine2845 Yeah, thats exactly what GW said. It was NOT to focus their energy on 40k. It was NOT because AOS was blindly following space marines lore and style, this auto-cannibalizing itself.
Just look: how many videogames about AOS do you see around?
@@LaPaginadiLeonardo fantasy was dead before age of sigmar. So blaming it is silly.
And just look at how well old world has taken off...it just hasn't. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see history repeat itself.
Blame it on whatever you want.
It died because of community interest
Kind of interesting they didn't take anything from Darktide, like having Inquisitorial Stormtroopers, an Ogryn Bodyguard, Zealots, Penal Servants etc.
Well, to have Inquisitorial Stormtroopers, you'd need to have a Stormtrooper box first, not the faction-locked guys like Kasrkin or Scions.
And again, our friends in the Far East come to the rescue, allowing us to get the old, still badass-looking Stormtroopers for less than half the price of a current GW box.
Some of us have played Inquisitors since they first showed up in the original Rulebook - Rogue Trader 40 ish years ago, roll a D4 to see how many Jokaro digital weapons your inquisitor has, if you roll a 4 Roll an Additional D6 🙂But honestly the point with Inquisitors is that they are supposed to have the power to requisition whoever they need as backup, the Ordo's Xenos, Hereticus and Maleus are supposed to be tiny factions within the Inquisition with far more Inquisitors ordinary out there, not to mention all sorts of even smaller factions
One of my favorite armies was my Sisterless Sisters of Battle from Codex Witch Hunters (okay, I had a unit of Sisters Repentia). It was simply an Inquisitor with retinue, Inquisitorial Storm Troopers (old school 5th Element police style), Penitent Engines, etc. It was a bit of glass cannon but it looked SO GOOD. All those old minis were so full of character, they still hold up even 25 years later. Modern GW minis just lack soul.
The fact that you can say "orgy in the dark" and not mention the secret police of Germany by its name is wild.
I started 3d printing because GW locked Heavy Intercessors behind a paywall/boxed exclusive. From there, I never looked back. I haven't bought a GW model in 4 years and even left their games to play OnePageRules games.
My reaction when you started going over the boxes was to assume "Four squads of Tempestus Scions" as the bulk of all three.
I have no problem with a bundle box being unique, in the good old days you'd sometimes get less poses and less parts, sometimes even monopose one piece models which would help bring the costs way way down compared to the bought separately versions. But they where still a great looking mini and the price is right to let people get into the hobby or bulk up their forces. But taking stuff that has been and should be available separately...
Objectively the new Coteaz model is at worst, a bit bland. The problem is we have a better model to compare it to, and indeed, they showed it off in tandem with the cover of the Codex which shows Coteaz looking very different. With modern miniature technology, I was expecting detailed engravings on the armour, maybe some extra details showing how he was a man in Power Armour rather than a Space Marine, as they did with Kor Phaeron.
But no, it's smooth, featureless and the kind of dull, in front of a picture of him covered in engravings, scrollwork, that kind of thing.
Dullness and mediocrity in a character iconic to an Army that's had table scraps in 3rd Ed. Remember, this guy's meant to be the visual focal point of your army, he is less intricate or impressive than most of the generic new Stormcast troops.
Imagine if one of those new jump pack space marines had been the re-release of Dante and basically he had an axe and was painted gold.
It's boring. It looks unfinished.
And they have to know this, but they keep pushing it, like they're proud of it.
The Inquisitor lady with the big hairdo and the... shotgun-flamer (?) looks great. I wish she was still available. I know we have Greyfax, but I prefer flamboyant hairdo lady Inquisitor.
I own enough assassins, inquisitors, and Kill Teams that I could put together an Agents of Imperium list, but I’m incredibly disappointed that GW has decided to half@ss the new faction by creating the Battleforce boxes sprinkled with a few OLD Agent models, rather than a new line of Inquisitors and Assassins, and some new units and possibly vehicles - or at least upgrade sprues to modify existing units and vehicles!
10e has been terribly disappointing in terms of new and/or updated models. Aside from Leviathan’s new Space Marines and Tyranids units, there have been few new units for other factions, just a half dozen new characters spread between Necrons, Dark Angels, Orks, and CSM. The only new units were the Kroot for Tau and Inner Circle Companions for Dark Angels. I suppose the Kroot line is analogous to the Orks’ Beast Snagga line from 9e, but the key difference is that the Orks army box sold out immediately, whereas you can still find the Kroot army box 3+ months later.
I think a lot of WH40K players assumed that the reason for the (relative) dirth of new units in 10e was because GW was focusing on the two new factions: Agents of Imperium and Emperor’s Children. But now we’ve learned that GW isn’t releasing any new Imperium Agents units; they’re just packing some old Agent characters into Battleforce boxes with an assortment of unsold units.
If a new-ish faction isn’t getting a new model line in 10e, there’s little hope for new units for the remaining factions that haven’t received their 10e codices yet.
It seems like GW is neglecting WH40K in favour of their other games, like Necromunda, Horus Heresy, Age of Sigmar, and Kill Team.
The worst thing they've ever done, until tomorrow.
After what happened to my sigmarines, I was done. I’m exhausted, so screw them
6:45 - that pause and stare into my soul as you scream 'each one physically filled with Sea Men!' just had me rolling.
Loved demon hunters codex in 4th edition when it was possible to take either guard or space marine units to boost the army.
The inquisition acolytes or whatever they're called, are probably the least offensive part of the boxes, even the one that comes with 2 of them, as each model in the box can be built in 2 ways, so at least they have that.
Thanks for pointing this out. I just looked up those models and they are indeed no longer on the store.
Out of all the shit GW had pulled, the worst thing they have done is thier complete failure at writing rules
I didn't realize inquisitors haven't been around in the current edition. I always just saw an Inquisition army as "Take an inquisitor, give him a retinue, a squad of stormtroopers and a company of riflemen, then put him in command of a Sisters, Grey Knights or Deathwatch army. I just kind of assumed those armies could already take an inquisitor in the current edition, since there have historically been multiple periods when the only way to play those armies was with an Inquisition Codex. They're just so linked in my mind because those armies act as the military arms for the Ordos. Like "What do you mean I can't play Ordo Xenos, but I can play Deathwatch?" Imagine if you could play Kroot, but not Tau.
"Imperial Agents".
Sounds more Star Wars.
Someone turned the AI name machine for that one.
That's all they can do.
"Imperial Agents".
A tome for Inquisition, Rogue Traders and Space Pirates of some kind, maybe named SPACE PIRATES, would have been a nice choice. I think everyone wants Eldar Pirates back.
I suppose we're seeing the curse of the younger so called devs, with little to no life experience or other IPs to inspire off of for Warhammer, that hasn't already been ridden a few times.
They need to finalize a rules set and that's it. They are already there.
The prices over time are just about the best they have ever been, with inflation and what not, back in the 90's I was paying $35 a box.
The models are the best they have ever been. I don't have to spend an hour per guy snipping pewter wisps, and filling.
It boggles me that there are more Imperium armies than non Imperium armies. Or it seems that way. Just looked at a site says they are about equal. However back when I played, non space marine armies where out numbered 5 to 1. Made it real easy for me to hate Space Marines.
I can see a solid conversion opportunity with the new & unimproved Coteaz. So that's something, I guess? I dunno, I've always built my Inquisitors as radicals, so I can run them as Chaosified Impy Guard when the support for the actual army ends.
Having their models for Old World for 5 months now is their biggest mistake
The plus for me is my Coteaz is metal. :)
I wouldn't call the Inquisition the "Bad guys" of 40k it's much more nuanced than that it all depends on the Inquisitor and their methods. I would call Chaos the true bad guys. Eisenhorn and Ravenor are definitely more gray than Karamazov or numerous others.
My Inquisitor from my 40k continuity Jelcine Enandra of the Ordo Hereticus is a member of the Seculous Attendous and a Recongrigator trying to use her influence to help the little man and weaken the grip of the corrupt Ecclesiarchy. I love the Inquisition after reading the Ravenor and Eisenhorn trilogies and GMing and playing a whole lot of Dark Heresy campaigns.
Ugh poor Coteaz. It was goofy just looking at the new sculpt but it horridness became very clear when compared to the old sculpt. Will be looking for a nice STL of coteaz in the future that isn't a boss baby
I wonder....do you EVER post anything positive or do you spend most of your time complaining about Warhammer? People will play the game none the less and if they are that concerned over cost, print their own models.
Check out my previous video
New Coteaz isn't a bad model.
I would love this coming from some alternative studio for like $10. It's nice to see some variety in shapes of space marines.
However, Games Workshop's prices shed different light on what is considered enough quality.
Firstly, the armour looks A LOT like a Stormcast.
Secondly, the bird has the worst "flying stand" ever. Given the static pose of the guy, it would make sense to let the bird sit on something.
But he's not a space marine. He's an inquisitor.
@@LupusGr3y he is enough of a space marine in my opinion.
"Why have female space marines, we already have sisters of battle!"
This guy is, model-wise, a space marine. Lore is irrelevant if not represented on a model.
I'm annoyed that Death Watch doesn't get to be it's own army anymore.
Like I like that you can use Sisters and Grey Knights. But it would have been nice if DW got the same treatment.
"a veritable army of European soldiers"
I hate to be pedantic but that would make them a Navy and Sailors...
There is a simple solution to the errors in the latest 40k heroes ,(and that includes the new Blood Angels ).All G.W. sculptors need to do a basic anatomy course .
Been seeing a uptake of Battletech again. 100 bucks buys you a starter box with 8 mechs and you have enough left over for an extra lance for another 4 mechs. Considering you only need a lance of 4 to play it is VERY cheap to get in.
I don't think that there is a product as beloved as Warhammer that is made by a company as hated as Games Workshop.
2 traders in my area have both said never again and stopped stocking Warhammer, one is just not getting any more in but they're a pawn broker initially, the other is a gaming shop that has got so big in the past few years that they had to move into a premises 8x bigger , brotherhood are my go to for gundam but I did buy my first unit from tau pathfinders from them they had a half decent selection of Warhammer in the old shop now none and the owner politely said he'll no to restocking Warhammer in the bigger shop . Brotherhoods new shop constantly has 10-40 people in there most of the day daily 7 days a week so games workshop messed up a good thing
It's not really a scandal if it's just how they run their business.
Buy a 3d printer, pay 10 bucks a month to OPR, print the rules and have a blast plus save a ton of money
On paper I really like the idea of an Inquisitorial army, of sisters, grey knights and inquisitors teaming up, however it's just a place to put all the random kill teams into 40k even though they killed the warcry teams in AoS and killed playing Heresy units in (still pissed) like fuck your heresy units but your random kill teams they are ok even though they ard that Inquisitorial.
Also they just straight up killed Deathwatch as an actual army and that ain't cool.
Also they gave Coteax a new model when the generic inquisitor is still in resin, give us a new generic inquisitor and inquisitorial people instead of this half baked codex that exists to sell kill team boxes to 40k, which still makes no sense when GW have been very against letting you play models from different games in games they weren't designed for
Only good thing about these boxes is the models will be sold as "on sprue no box" at a fraction of the cost of the model from GW in its dedicated box, ive managed to build my tank numbers thanks to the age of darkness boxset, im still buying black reach ork sprues because they are still far cheaper than a squad box ✌️🤣
Imperial Knights should have been included in this book, since they're all vehicles and this faction has none of those
I feel like they are pairing them with Death watch and grey knights to sell old stock so they can prep for the inevitable range rotation to primaris scale
I wonder if the Inquisition would have been better served as it's own game. Maybe a Killteam/ Necromunda style game where one player takes control of a small team made up of maybe like 4 inquisitors/ assistants and the other player takes control of a small force of say 20 Deamons, Xenos or Heretics. Use it to introduce new Inquisitor characters who could be used in 40K as additional heroes in Imperium armies, and use the villainous models as an excuse to create new Mutants/ Deamons/ Xenos/ Heretics and introduce them into other armies. I can imagine for example, new Alien races which are part of the Tau Empire which can be added to a Tau Army. Or maybe like heretic Rattlings to be added to Chaos armies. Or new or even just updates Chaos deamons (I love the Khorne Bloodletters but they are looking a bit old now.) Having a new Imperial Agents codex seems a little overkill. Especially when they have had to steal things from other codex's just to bulk it out.
Almost like the old ~58mm scale Inquisitor game, but with normal sized figures?
Big fan of the original Ordo Malleus and Inquisitor models from about 1990, if I remember rightly? Was ALWAYS a fan of The Inquisition, Terminators, everything that was big and scary and grim about 40K
Unfortunately Warhammer has now tied itself up in knots because they don't want to offend the blue-haired employees, the woke brigade, or the 28 mag crew who support the original Blanchitsu style because, you know...?
So they churn this rubbish out and hope The Old School Collectors will feel guilty enough for being OLD SCHOOL and buy it and The Target Modern Audience will not know about other model companies and buy it as well. Unfortunately pretty much every release has been a turd and there's so much better stuff out there now.
The 40K Lore was incredible. Not so much now....
ngl, that Blood & Plunder game is enticing. I was just saying the other day that the only way I'd be into a pirate game is if it was historically accurate. And this looks to check that box. (I'm interested in any new game systems that don't involve GW atm)
the inquisition is the three kobolds in a trench coat of 40k. ideally, imperial agents needs to be either, dispersed to armies that they cooperate with or. the imperial agents "codex" should carry substantial overlap of all the weird shit the imperium does. imperial agents done correctly should be the narrative players codex. freeblades tilting solo? imperial agents. an admech excursion force supporting guard? imperial agents. aquilan shield custodes and operatives off a black ship? imperial agents. arbites getting drafted to support the war front? imperial agents. a very lost rogue trader? imperial agents. imperial agents should be the games corrective codex. half of 40k is imperials. imperial agents should be the fix for oversights of imperial codexes. the opportunity to phone it in with a fair number of codexes. admech cant melee? custodes have taken an interest in the expedition. knights dont have board presence? heres your rules for guard or skittari as household guard. and an enginseer as sacristan. custodes need some cannon fodder? heres how you make scions lucifer blacks. your sororitas are getting railed by eldar and 1k sons? heres greyfax, the assassin she requisitioned and the quiet bunch from the black ships to sort it out. grey knights are still struggling with tanks? heres rules for baneblades that are around long after everyone else has died by virtue of being a baneblade. fill imperial agents with narrative and imperial army overlap. then you can spend a bit more focus on aliens. give chaos a similar treatment, remember default chaos marines? now its chaos version of imperial agents. you can find a stand alone army here. but the bulk of sales are the rest of the superfaction patching holes in their codex for however long they last or they're doing something narratively silly. which leaves eldar, (harlequins and yvraines bunch could patch that as the eldar version. ) gene stealers and tyranids are symptoms of each other. orks are having fun regardless of what anyone else thinks generally. which leaves tau and votann as the only ones that really need help. tau just got kroot to pad out the melee side of the game. and votann needs the other half of their army (gw, poach the necromunda squats into votann) necrons just need a published contents of trayzns collection and an accompanying rule, like bring trayzn and x selection from his collection join the battle as your allies.
$213.00 os what you are expected to pay if you want one of these beauties ! ! !
You can pretty much bet on GW to do the worst possible thing and never come up short. Especially given how the whales will keep buying the slop. So unlike Disney, who are feeling the pinch and reaping what they sowed when they alienated the Star Wars fanbase by calling them names and telling them that the new content isn't for them, GW will never stop doing bad things, because they're laughing all the way to the bank. Their tactics are working out well for them, which gives them no incentive to change.
Can we just talk about how the new Coteaz model went from having an Inquisitorial Rosette on a chain necklace to...a weird refrigerator magnet slapped on his crotch?
The Inquisition just grabs specialists and troops that already exist for whatever their current mission or investigation requires or can get.
I saw the boxes and thought it would be a good way to get 3 Kill Teams. I think the boxes will cost more sadly
As a Deathwatch player I had Agents anyway and if my army is now marines with agents I’m OK with that
Back in 2003 though that codex replaced the Sisters of Battle codex, so actually it was much worse back then :) At least we still get a Sisters codex!
After a couple years, I can just listen while painting (eyes on the mini,, not watching the video),, and I can almost see all the funny video insert moments.. Is this an okay thing?!? Love it! Thanks Lord Mistress Discourse, Commissar Badass of the Astrowastes (youtubes)!!
The Inquisitor models are pretty cheap on Chinese "Forge World"
This chicken literally has flogged this horse to death.
That Blood and Plunder ad was amazing!
