Inquisitors

 So to go with the lore update, I have finally got around to building the remainder of the Inquisitors! I've shown of my main Inquisitor Sophiana Tullus and I have spoken Inquisitor Tamhas Adrien in the past as well. Tamhas was originally a power armour wearing inquisitor, fitted out for close combat. Now alongside the original Tullus, these models had to be ditched when the rules were updated a d power armour removed as an option and while to conversion process from power armour to Carapace armour (I assume it's Carapace anyway, as that's the standard 4+ save Imperial armour) also change Marcus Tullus in to Sophiana Tullus, it has not had a similar effect of Tamhas Adrien, who remains pretty much as he was. 

The third inquisitor I had named, Inquisitor Sophiania Etiennia, has also had some changes. While she never had a model, she has had her name pinched by the new Tullus and as such is going to be given a new name. In this case it will be Laurissa or for full effect Inquisitor Laurissa Etiennia.

So that's, Inquisitor Sophiana Tullus, Inquisitor Tamhas Adrien and Inquisitor Laurissa Etiennia. Now, I know what your thinking, how many Inquisitors do you need! Well, 4 actually. So, welcome to the floor, Inquisitor number four!

The last inquisitor is inquisitor Jameelis Henryk. There is no lore to be said about Jameelis at the moment, he will be fleshed out with the others in due course. 

So, that's the 4 players, but why 4, what's the point in that! Surely all you need is 1 inquisitor? Well yes, you do only need 1 but to field a patrol you need an Inquisitor and 3 troops and you can take acolytes as single man units. So I built an Inquisitor and 3 acolytes, but which can also be used as 4 separate Inquisitors if I want. Now, lore wise, Sophiana is the lead inquisitor, being the only inquisitor during the first uprising, but by the time of the second, 3 of her acolytes have been promoted to full Inquisitors and she to a lord inquisitor, in command of a regional conclave, that covers the area including the Hamnavoe system. That's the basic full anyway, more to come at a later date.

The four Inquisitors, from left to right, Tamhas, Laurissa, Jameelis and Sophiana.

Jameelis and Sophiana

Inquisitor Sophiana is a well established character, bring a radical Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor and a follower of Xanthism ideology. Jameelis on the other hand has no lore but will also follow a more radical path, like his old master. He will be a member of the Ordo Machinum and to many is know as "the Collector" for his habit of collecting archeotech and Xenos artifacts. His link to the admech is also a bit deeper, due to his relying on their tech for life support due to his origins on a high radiation world.


Tamhas and Laurissa

Tamhas is also a xanthism Inquisitor, although he is an Inquisitor of the ordo Xenos. There is already some background on Tamhas, but this will be expanded to take in his origins as a soldier and how he lost his arm. Laurissa is also fairly sparse where the lore is concerned, other than being a bit of an outsider. This will change, although she will still remain fairly aloof. She is a former sister of battle who's faith was shaken to its very core by what she witnessed in the service of Sophiana, and as such now searches the galaxy for "miracles" to ensure that they are indeed what they say they are. As such, she counts herself as both an inquisitor of the Ordo Malleus and also of the lesser ordo Obsuletus. 

Inquisitor Laurissa, still carrying many items from her time as a sister. 

So there you have it, my little inquisitorial conclave and it's Inquisitors. I will get around to expanding the lore when I do my full rewrite soon.
