    I'd fly all the way from the US to Nottingham and directly kiss you guys on the buttocks if you could convince GW to re-do Inquisitor. Also- I know YOU may have noticed, Mr. Thorpe- but I was thrilled to see the 'Feral World Guardsman' from the Inquisitor rulebook make a return in the Kill-Team set.

    Yep. It's Inquisitor, but in a scale that's practical for most Warhammer fans to actually play. That GW put out a bunch of the old Inquisitor models (or models in that style) in 28mm only made this easier. Many of which are still in print.

Most folk are painters, lore-fiends, collectors first...after maturation, the kitbashing is just a natural evolution. Hence inq28 I feel will only gather momentum going fwd. Everyone I know who was into the hobby in the 80s and 90s is dipping at least a couple of toes into the kitbash aspect. Most are fully there.

    Really wish Inquisitor had stuck around. It was the first sci-fi game by GW that I got into way back in the day (originally was just into Fantasy) and the miniatures blew my mind. Gav Thorpe quickly became someone I looked up to as a kid and for some time I had wished to find someone that wanted to play Inquisitor, but as a kid from a smaller town it was hard enough to even find anyone that knew about miniature games. Wish I still had my Inquisitor minis, they are so nostalgic for me.

    As an old man, I find 54mm minis rather appealing; though kitbashing Inq28 is so much fun.

I feel that Brent missed a trick by not saying, "I'll be your huckleberry."

    I had so many of these models, we would buy other models just to customize our Inquisitor models. It was a good blend of DnD and Warhammer, we ended up playing Inquisitor more than 40k back in the early 2000s, great game and great time. I can't believe it was abandoned and lost to time. Playing Rogue Trader really reminded me of Inquisitor, so many things from that game are actually really well explained in Inquisitor, I remember making a sniper with a Eldar Ranger rifle, there were really no rules in this game and let the Dogmatic/Heretical system show very well.

    My favorite thing from the game was the introduction of the Istavaanian Philosophy...in a universe with near constant Ork Waaagghh!!s, rebellions, Tau incursions, Chaos invasions, prehistoric Robo-skeletons waking up, extra-galactic locust swarms, and arguments over whether it's fair to split a bill three ways when one person only ate soup turning into armed conflicts that devastate whole sub-sectors; Istavaanian Inquisitors look around and declare that Humanity isn't fighting enough wars! It's actually helped solidify an idea I had way back at the start of my time in 40k of making my Imperial Guard/Astra Militarum army just really hate Space Marines, slap in a Perpetual Istavaanian who's running a sector-wide experiment with tampering with the local flavor of the Imperial Cult.

Love those minis! Converted but not painted i have Brother Joseph wield a stub pistol and chain axe and Devotee Malicant given a flamer. Unbuild ive got Inquisitor Covenant, most of Eisenhorn and some random parts for other other inquisitor models i was give when a friend of mine got rid of all his mini stuff. I used to have Brother Artemis converted into a Blood Angel but i gave him away to a friend of mine as he wanted to repaint him as a Blood Raven and put him on a shelf, better life for Artemis than sitting in a box over here. Back in the day there were three in my friend group that put together a couple INQ minis and we played a few stilted games, none of us had any DND, Dungeon Master led or D100 games experience so our interest tapered off as the game was hard to get into for us. Love to see where you take this, i really like the minis and terrain you got together.

    I should dig up my inquisitor models. I had converted Eisenhorn into my custom Inquisitor and discovered that some of the old Epic 40k titan weapons are close to the proper scale. I put the Warlord powerfist onto my Inquisitor as a bionic arm with a built in powerfist. The conversion possibilities of Inquisitor was amazing. Though our group did ban the Space Marines to keep our games a bit more balanced. LOL. I've always thought it converting the rules to use 32mm miniatures and a more robust campaign system like Necromunda would be fun.

    when i was younger and first getting into 40k i always saw the Inquisitor models in my local hobby shop and wanted them but my dad reminded me that there not the right size for traditional 40k so i'd have no use for them outside that game, makes me really wish i had gotten some cause i'd love a big fancy model to just sit nicely on my shelf

    Great video. This game completely passed me by - thanks for drawing my attention to it. I was into Rogue Trader, the original Space Hulk and Space Marine (Epic 40k) as a kid in the 80s/early 90s. But by about 92 had "grown out of the hobby", more focussed on sports. After uni, at work, I'd occasionally pore through the early GW website in the late 90s, but then only really got back into things with my son c. 2016. Also great to see Goobertown making an appearance! Look forward to seeing how this progresses!

    Marines do, in fact, feel like the absolute monstrosities they're supposed to in Inquisitor. Makes a single chaos marine leading a cultist cell an amazing baddy as they players find they can't do much of anything. Great way to drive a narrative or force a retreat from a situation players might otherwise power through (when they're not supposed to 😆)

    I played a couple of games of Inquisitor as a teenager. We didn't have any of the full size minis, so we used standard 28mm models and terrain (mostly from the Necromunda range) and where the rules were written in inches, we used centimeters. It worked pretty well.

  • @philgee486

    This is a game that just can't be forgotten, and hasn't been. I played 20yrs ago at 54mm and pulled out the books for setting up RP for my 40k loving son. I love Inquisitor as a game framework, the work they put into setting the scene and fleshing out the dark underside of the imperium is perfect to use alongside the Eisenhorn books My son loves RPing his inquisitor character, he's 14 so the game I run doesn't fully embody the worst of the inquisition and the world, it's medium dark with obvious white hats, a lot of grey hats and clear black hat enemies including his nemesis, rather than opposing and enemy white hats, grey hats, black hats, betrayers, defilers, soiled doves and erupting demons. To a 14yr old it's madly dark compared to tabletop 40k, and that's good enough for me. Between Eisenhorn, Inquisitor and my outside literary influences (ripe for shameless plot and character theft) we do great in both RP and skirmish, but I'd really feel the lack of Inquisitor the most. BTW we play in 28/32mm, scale conversion is no issue at all

    Great video! we have a community remake with some streamlining adaptations and translation to spanish called Sistema28. It has the original's philosophy and game experience, but several details needed to be redesigned using different discussions in forums and with new ideas from new indie games. But the game is it simply the best, we still enjoy it and thanks a lot for the inq28 and Inquisimunda communities that kept it alive!

    While I really like games like Chronopia, Confrontation, Infinity, Mortheim & Necromunda, none of them has the same pull on me as Inquisitor had and still does. It is just so much better to have that larger scale of 54mm and it invites a much more meaningful narrative complementary effort to the point when I felt like wanting to write whole novels of the in-game characters and their interactions with other groups and the world they live & survive in (be it the original 40K setting or a self-brewn one, which really doesn’t matter in Inquisitor). You really only will understand this if you play the game. This is best done with a GM, it is much more of a forgiving job for the GM in comparison to classic rpg’s by the way, as the combat system is well fleshed out and everything happens on a huge display in front of you for all to see. There is a points system, but after a few games the GM will learn what to do to even the little op things out or give a slight boost to weaker options. I can’t even imagine what would happen if Inquisitor would be released today with fully or partially assembled, unpainted plastic miniatures to back it up. It is the one big thing, the best missing thing that just does not exist because I was born into the one universe with to many wrong people inside that just couldn’t make it happen as they all were born to fail. And fail they did… still I wanna give a shoutout to all those who made Inquisitor happen. The roots were there, but there was no water and no sun, what did you expect to happen? So how to react to this small glimpse of flickering light in the thick and unrelenting darkness of the unmindful audience that I am humbly part of? It is so good to see someone is still finding out about Inquisitor today and also going all the right steps that lead to a pleasant experience for all participants. With that motivation everything is possible. Maybe this is a first step out of the stinking swamp of moldy mud that many strings of the actual global hobby development are still leading to, a first step into the right direction after so many fruitless and feeble efforts that just don’t have any meaning when compared to this golden piece of shining glory.

    That ending was awesome!!! I ADORED the idea of Inquisitor but at the time it was never played much in my area and people just bought the minis to paint. Stores were reluctant to invest in the multiple tables needed to fully support the game except in the largest metro areas. I had thought about playing it by downsizing the minis to 40k scale when I first got my 3D printer. After slicing a nu-scale version of a RT Era (when I started, before you were born ) Chaos War Hound for less than $12 USD I realized I can do both. Snag a file and double dip, it's cheap and at worse you will have a fun time customizing and painting.

    Great vid! Bought back some memories! I was working in Mail Order at GW HQ in the run up to the Inq release. There was a hushed meeting where us Trolls were offered the chance to paint up some of the minis on pre-release and we got to pick what we wanted to paint. On one condition : failure to paint the mini would see us with a written warning! 🤣 Needless to say I painted my mini on time and it’s in the book. An arco-flagellant variant (with the snippy scissor hands) where they got my name wrong in the credit as Tim Fischer (there’s no C in my name). Awesome range, great sculpts. A wee fact: For the loose metal/boxed product codes used in house for parts/product orders, the game was designated as number 13, which always seemed appropriate!
