And they are GLORIOUS!

I have two comments to make about the combi-melta Inquisitor: first, the bolter is a pig to fit as-supplied, because it wasn't sculpted to fit, so filing or pinning are needed; and he is the basis for the newest model, sort of a glow-up like Ghazkhull, and he is the current store anniversary model, so you still have a chance to get him if any local Warhammer stores have yet to celebrate. Also, the cowboy is Gideon Lorr, he was a limited edition model from I think a global campaign in the mid-2000s. I joined the hobby in 2006, after he was no longer available.

Anyway, my favorites are Bolter and Sword from the Daemon Hunter era, with that very John Blanche-style shoulder fur cloak, and good old Goatee Terminator with the Power Fist and Bionic Leg. But somewhere between the two of them was the wild ride that was 54mm Inquisitor: bald old Eisenhorn (a million times cooler than his 28mm version, with rad cane sword), Bishounen Covenant, and poster boy Tyrus who absolutely needs a 40k version. Or we can just wait until scale creep makes 54mm the standard.

wish we had a true Army of Inquisitors :D in the old day they where in the Demonhunters codex and Witch Hunter Codex, they are now the Gray knights and Sisters of battle. and inquisitors are not in any codex but in one of the narrative play books.

I had the anniversary "cowboy inquisitor" mini with the bionic arm but it was lost in roof collapse. Luckily I found the arm alone still intact (no idea how) and was able to get the finecast result and replace the arm & pistol on it to give me a good approximation of the original mini. Then some jerk stole it from my Armies on Parade board which is when I stopped attending those events.

There was also Inquisitor Silas Hand from the Daemonifuge comic series sculpted in 28mm as a limited collectible set alongside Ephrael Stern. Not sure if they did any of the other Inquisitors that were in the Warhammer Monthly comics though.

The three arm day ones were originally only equipped with carapace armour, 4+ save, so I guess they made it look like that on purpose

The out of scale Inquisitor Game Inquisitors were really cool, and the Eisenhorn model had a bit more movement to him than the 28mm one, but they look pretty similar.

I used to have the top left of the 3-6. Guy holding the gun out. Long long ago, in the before time. A buddy of mine who played sisters was walking down some icy stairs with his Karamazov in his palm. He slipped. The model made it to the stairs before his back did. Karamazov was never the same. I remember him being T5 and having no rule preventing puddling. Quite a notable flaw when you have S10 demolisher cannons. The feet will leave that mark everywhere he goes

I firmly stand on position that single best inquisitor is the one you scratchbuild for yourself. I mean, inquisitors and their retinues are one of the few models in 40k where pretty much anything goes, you can convert, kitbash and scratch everything you want and more. Necromunda AoS, oldhammer - it all fits. Even if you limit yourself to GW legal stuff, the possibilities are insane. And if you dont care about geedubs purity and go full radical, lots of minis from other systems make for even greater conversions (for example old warmachine warcasters. you can get them dirt cheap, and old sculpts are great) . Just grab some inquisitorial badges and symbols, , some purity seals, 40k weapons, and go wild.

I really love the idea of the protective suit that inquisitor Augustus is in. I would love a re-do of an inquisitor in a biohazard-suit.

That "Inquisitor Agaustus" one looks like he got hit by a few plasma shots there... Though some I could see more like a statue for terrain, given how... off some can look. And man, I do miss having very varied loadouts for Inquisitors... like a Daemon Blade-weilding one that was given over to him by the Space Wolves after a daemon managed to occupy a frost axe, and they decided to subdue it by dunking it in ale that I kitbashed up. Also, sadly Inquisitors also can't take power armor as a loadout option anymore. -_- Also, one of my favorite Inquisitors... Amberley Vail. Especally when she described some Inquisitors: "Some Inquisitors believe the Emperor’s work is best done by charging around the place like a grox in a ceramic emporium, leaving a trail of carnage and destruction in their wake, while others prefer not to let the enemies of all that’s good and holy get clean away by making it blindingly obvious they’re coming for them." She needs a model.

Great video! I am a huge fan of the Inquisition and I have most of the models going back to the Rogue Trader days. I've been into the hobby since 1987 and it seems you missed one. Inquisitor Silas Hand from the late 90's. He was a LE model so it's understandable that he got missed. I'll send you a few pics including a few of some early Inquisitors that I painted that may change your mind about them being Games Workshop. Keep up the good work you produce some great stuff!

18:30 Well TBF, at the start of the first book Eisenhorn is on a planet going through a winter so cold the local population spends nine months of the year in cryogenic chambers to avoid it. So he is somewhat dressed for the weather.

New mini classification - how many sheets of drywall will this penetrate when thrown. Love that ❤

I have the Eisenhorn, Kyria, and Erasmus models. The last one you can still find on EBay for somewhat decent pricing.

Love these kinds of videos, always nice to see the old classics! 😃

10:00 Gideon Lorr. Was a Games Day Exclusive model, but wasn't the Games Day model if memory serves. Got it painted up, pretty sure I got a 2nd one at my parents house (along with aload of Games Day models that could probably be used to cover the cost of my car repairs...)

Something I realllly love about the modern models is being able to use them as proxies for other army units that are unique looking and also just doing some kitbash to make them your own. I mentioned in a livestream before how Greyfox i could as as a SoB unit with her condemntor bolter and power sword! Also never knew about the cowboy looking one, I definitely wish that one was around. Theyd be so cool to paint up!

It be nice if GW makes The Inquisition it's own fullblown faction in 10th edition with special rules and stratagems for playing Ordo Hereticus,Ordo Malleus or Ordo Xenos. I'd love to build my own Ordo Hereticus Army.

There's all the 54mm minis from the Inquisitor game, too! I'd love to see some of those minis come back with the modern casting tech, big ol' display level highly detailed sculpts with a ton of bits for wargear and conversions. And even though you're not a fan, I believe Artel W does a set of Eisenhorn and his retinue (The Old Gang bundle) - Bequin, Aemos, Fischig, The Betancore pilots etc. As well as a LoTR themed Inquisitor and retinue - An Aeldari ranger, an axe wielding Squat, and several Ratlings...

My headcanon is that Solomon Locke (16:07) has his Servo Skull carrying a toilet paper roll. You'll never know when diarrhea hits xD

Coteaz was my first really intricate Paint Job I ever did. I collected Dark Angels for years but my Space Marines were mostly just Tactical Squads and such and my HQ commander wasn't all that flashy. When Daemonhunters released I bought the Codex and Coteaz with his Retinue day 1 and spent hours painting him as best I could, His Eagle and hit Cloak taught me quite a bit about how I should paint Fur and Feathers. Good times.

My favorite inquisitor is the one I made from a Sister Of Silence body, with dynamic cape and tabard, and glued on some arms and weapons and head from SoB sprues laying around. I had to fill some gapes with greenstuff and completed with nice fur for the right arm, but I'm ok with it :) She looks dynamic enough, and gets the best equipment possible for an Inquisitor aka Bolt Pistol/Chainsword aka the cheapest aka "DontMindMyGearIOnlyDoPsykingStuff" :P

I would love for Inquisitors to make a comeback. There's great conversion potential but the official models are lacking. Game wise, they're pretty flimsy right now and I'd like for them to maybe have more utility, maybe give them something similar to how you can upgrade Captains to Chapter Masters for a points cost. Anything to give them some presence on the board beyond flexing on your opponent

Yeah. I think the issue with them is that at best, they are a meek addon to factions that often have much hardier models within their lines. Space Marines have a HQ choice for everything, Custodies can barely find room to slot in their Sisters HQ because they are so strong e.t.c. They really need something impactful to slot into factions that generally have competitive, in house choices. I kinda feel one of the best ways to do that is have the inquistors be able to break certain faction rules via their retinue to soup up armies. Like I imagine if they could have one or two units drafted into any army that is exclusive to them? Like Tempest Scions or whatever to represent the fact they can literally drag and drop any resources they need as part of their retinue? That ability to change the way you play by being able to draft interesting choices or do combinations that wouldn't traditionally be available would be interesting. Though then again, I always felt that Trayzin's super ability should always be to literally pull out a pokeball, chuck any unit in the game into his Necron list (without any faction synergies obviously) to represent that he is a collector that can literally introduce elements of his collection to any battlefield to spice things up. The game for all it's bloat includes surprisingly few ways to break it's rules in fluffy ways.

Feet shaped like an inquisitor symbol means he's stamping his symbol wherever he goes.

I imagine that from the sculpting some purity seals are on swivels. The original Lemartes model had purity seals that all pointed to the model's right to give a sense of motion.

The Inquisitors shown at 9:00 in are from the 4th Edition Witch Hunters codex, which was a Sisters of Battle Codex with Inquisitors to go with them. The style of those two models harks back to the Witchfinder General style of the 1840's, such as Matthew Hopkins. The female Inquisitors at 11:10 are also from Witch Hunters, as is Karamazov at 13:20 The Inquisitors at 7:00 are from the Daemonhunters Codex, also from the 4th Edition, as is Cortez at 12:40.

Jay + Inquisitors + Nostalgia = Great Content. I wonder if Obi Wan Clouseau's is based off Johnny Alpha's huge, phallic pistol from Strontium Dog. I've been messing around with a bit of 3d sculpting, and I'm feeling there might be an Inquisitor Augustus remix in my future.

Hey Jay, if you want the cowboy one I can send you one, got an extra from when I bought a bunch of old metal models

still got my old metal Coteas :D

2nd Inquisitor looks like Ram Man with rickets. 40k bringing back disorders from malnutrition.

Using the same base model for a couple of minis was a common practice for GW. For example, if you look for the Wood Elves Waywatchers from 4th/5th editions of WFB, you'll find a total of 6 different models. But if you look closely, you'll notice they have 3 base models with a variant each one.
