Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! – The latest GW digital codex went up for pre-order this weekend, the 9th. GW Digital is showing a little more leg on the new book:
via White Dwarf
The front cover, illustrated by Marek Oken, is just one of the new pieces of artwork in the book, which focuses on the strange, dangerous and clandestine work of the Imperial Inquisition. The book talks in great depth about the three primary Ordos: the Ordo Hereticus, concerned with hunting down witches and psykers; the Ordo Xenos, tasked with the extermination of aliens; and the Ordo Malleus, who protect humanity from the Daemons of the Warp. Other Ordos are mentioned too, such as the sinister Ordo Sicarius and the unusual Ordo Chronos, who investigate (and try to prevent) time travel. The different factions of Inquisitors are talked about too, ranging from Thorians to Monodominants. Many famous (or notorious, depending on your point of view) Inquisitors are also covered in the book, including Gregor Eisenhorn, Witch Hunter Tyrus and Torquemada Coteaz.
Codex: Inquisition allows you to include an Inquisitor and his retinue in your army, be they Space Marines, Imperial Guard or even Xenos races. There’s unique wargear in the book, such as the Liber Heresius and new Warlord Traits which can help you define the role and personality of your Inquisitor. Are they readers of the Imperial Tarot or collectors of forbidden Xenos technology? There are also full rules and points for building an Inquisitorial retinue, including Acolytes, Arco-flagellants, Jokaero Weaponsmiths and plenty more besides.
The digital codex is available for pre-order both as an interactive edition for iBooks, and as an eBook edition for your phone, tablet, computer and eReader.

Look who’s back! |
GW is suggesting that you get ready for the release by grabbing the minis for all the retinue figures from the old Witchhunters/Daemonhunters ranges as well as the generic Inquisistors, Coteaz, and Karamazov…
Oh this one is getting more interesting by the minute…
