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.

There’s a line a GW store employee told me about Inquisitor has stuck with me since I was a kid. “Do you know how strong a space marine is? If he throws a hand grenade it deals more damage if it hits a guy than if it explodes on them.”

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.

@@Bluecho4 it's pure creativity. Kitbashing is the essence of the hobby when you get decades deep into it. Unless you're really into the gaming side, which I feel is a minority tbh. 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.

I am absolutely amazed by the amount of content you put out into a single video, most people would release a video for every warband they bought each week, but you went ahead and gave a great story and review, showed off new miniatures, delivered some painting footage for sooo many miniatures, BUILT TERRAIN and produced an amazing reveal of everything combined. Thanks for your attention to detail and the overall great level of production in this channel ! I look forward to your next video !
I miss playing Inquisitor so much. I loved the story/narrative style of it . Did so many conversions and still have a few to this day. lots of good memories, especially of friends who are no longer with us.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I used to be a regular with the inquisitor community, I've got over a dozen of the minis and a tub of 54mm bits. These days I mainly work on inq28 models now as I don't have to sculpt so much due to the lack of availability of 54mm bits. More please!
A game whose official GW forum, and its successor the Conclave, became roleplaying hubs I haunted for years. Fantastic, grimdark times.

They should have released Inquisitor as an RPG, with minis. would have done better, IMO.
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.

I doubt it'll be coming back. But, you have the book, right? Start a group locally.
I wish the Inquisition had a more fleshed-out presence in 40k other than some minis here and there, it'd be cool to run a full warband of atypical models and units!
As an old man, I find 54mm minis rather appealing; though kitbashing Inq28 is so much fun. I love the Inquisitor rule book ("Everything you know is a lie" really sums up my vision of 40k), though I preferred the simpler rules found in the free fan rules, "In The Emperor's Name. 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.
Man, I had no idea they made this game, let alone that gorgeous Eisenhorn mini. That trilogy got me into 40k.

If I remember correctly, the forward for the Eisenhorn omnibus talks about the release of Inquisitor inspiring Dan Abnett to write a story based off it, GW was ecstatic as they could release it in conjunction to build hype and interest, one was wildly successful one... wasn't, I guess.
Man... through the whole video I kept thinking "oh yah, goodbertown has painted some inquisitor models" so that ending was really perfect :P
Great video with lots of insights. And the end is absolutely hilarious! "I'll play with you!" :D I always asked myself: Why not playing inquisitor with the normal 28 mm scale minis?
I only really played Inquisitor once but had great fun. It was a pity I never got around to play it more. The guy that ran the game did it slightly differently, though, more rpg-inspired. He ran it as a game master and each of us players had one model each. Considering the detailed system that worked out great!
I thank you for not allowing one of my favorite games to be consigned to the dustbin of history. Some of the best figures GW has produced. Inquisitor is a great game.
Damn you really outdid yourself on Eisenhorn’s face! Great work
Finally someone is talking about this lost pearl in the gw game system universe. The rules are a bit challenging(but free to download)but it is even playable with standard w40k models. Nice work!
Loved the old Inquisitor models, but Eric vs Brent playing a game - Hell yeah.
I remember a terrific Arbites model with a cyber mastiff. I always wanted to play... Also, I love me some Goobertown.

Shes in there
When I was a kid, we used to just play in centimetres instead of inches and just use regular 40k models. It worked well and saved our meagre pocketmoney!
3d printing has been an absolute revolution for Inqusitior. When I started playing, if you wanted custom models you were either learning to sculpt clay, or kitbashing metals. Now though, you can have basically anything you can imagine and it's a single contiguous piece.
Video in general was fantastic. But the cameo at the end made me spit my beer out with an unexpected belly laugh. Looking forward to more in this (hopefully) series!
I remember playing the game in my local store. They had some decently sized terrain for use to create some fun narratives. One time we were playing around some kind of fuel depot with a huge fuel tank in the middle. Never shot at it with my inquisitor, the other player asked why, then I told him it would've blown up everyone, including my team. It was an inquisitor, not a maniac!
Man I remember being a young lad with no cash going to my local library to borrow white dwarf magazines. Inquisitor has been ingrained in my mind ever since
Still keep my copy of the rulebook at hand when brainstorming. Because of how hard/expensive it was to buy the old miniatures we used to play wit regular 40K miniatures and changed all the measurements in the rulebook from inches to centimetres.
Top tip: the old Cities of Death range were designed to be compatible with both 40K and Inquisitor, so if you can grab any kits off ebay they will work without any adjustments. I was always curious about Inquisitor but never got the chance. I must pick up the books when I can though, all that tasty lore to vore omnomnomnom yum.
Holy hell i remember just how amazing the models looked like. Another phenomenal video Eric!
Loved all the terrain together at the end! And the hold on increasingly uncomfortable smiles with Goobertown at the end was hilarious. Can't wait to the "Continued!"
Ha! Awesome! Goobertown Hobbies is the man for jumping in on Inquisitor with you. I remember when this game came out, thinking the models were awesome and that I'd never build the terrain I'd need to play.
I swear, you’re the king of GW nostalgia. You literally make me feel like I’m 15 again reading the inquisitor book. Thanks be to you ya bloody legend!
my sister had the Sevora and Sevorina models and i had Delphan Gruss, they were all such cool models
I recently listens to the Eisenhorn audio books myself, and it's so strange to but Toby Longworth IS Gregor Eisenhorn for me. Despite all the various characters he has been through the audio books, he so perfectly read Eisenhorn as a character.
I honestly thought I'd dreamt this game up till a few years ago when it started getting a YT resurgence lol. I used to read the crap out of the book in the school library as a teen, I never owned a copy myself but I was in there reading it most days, unfortunately I didn't know anyone to play with nor could I afford the models on top of the few meagre marines I'd accumulated at the time 😅 I might have to get a copy of the book and do some minis (maxis?) 😂
I still have a Space marine, several cadians and the kroot Mercenary from Inquisitor.
I still have a box of my inquisitor minis stowed away. The minis i have completed are Cherubael converted into an upright position and reaching forward, Quovandius with a lower jaw added, shotgun switched to a shoota/autogun and the gimp leg replaced with a crude bionic and the metal WHFB giant converted into an Ogryn with an axe and a wrist mounted autocannon. 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.
You did a great job on this, regardless. That induction of the 3D printer stuff would have been quite a pull, had GW embraced the future. We could have even seen a resurgence of the game, and the expansions that we were promised but never got. With the way the miniature creep continues, you'll soon be using this scale figure with regular games of 40k.
I didn’t play warhammer 40k at this time but the aesthetics of Inquisitor really get me into the lore ! Very grimdark !
OMG I'm so hyped for the next part! Inquisitor is my fav game I never got the chance to get into during its peak. Loved the Brent reveal, that sneaky git sure knows how to nail his stealth checks ;)
Man… I was crazy for 54mm Inquisitor. I wonder if inquisitor would have thrived today with plastic models and scenery. I have like forty something models all painted many of them kitbashed using metal models and parts and it was a nightmare. There was no youtube and 3d printing at the time. Great video, great time capsule 👍🏻
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.
My aunt has several painted inquisitor minis and some still in original packaging in her garage along with the titans these minis captured my mind and i loved them so much.
I still have the rule book and expansion books along with a dozen miniatures in one of my many cases. Excellent video Eric as always.
Awesome, thanks for the great video! I just had to laugh at the end, somehow I thought about him during the video, especially as you kind of played with the tech priest going back and forth at the computer machines. I'm very looking forward to the next video. Great child flashbacks about INQUISITOR, read a lot in the white dwarfs then, but it just was no option for me back then. Greetings from Germany!
Such a fun video! It is great to see you explore such an iconic game and showcase it to newer players. I think Inquisitor was possibly 40k's most important games since it fleshed out so much lore and made the setting so much more believable. Excited to see what comes next!
Goobs is popping up everwhere lately, he's like Agent Smith!
First, thank you for making my favorite video of yours ever. :) I used to have this book and I'm trying to get it back. I had always wanted to convert it to 28mm, so I'm super stoked to see this already exists and I'll be joining that community soon. Also, it was really cool to see Brent's smiling face at the end of the video. Great job, Eric, looking forward to part two. :)
Wow, incredible effort on this video Eric. As others have said, the sheer amount of content packed into this single video is mind blowing! I love that you decided to cover Inquisitor, it truly is a forgotten gem. I still have very fond memories of it, because I kept re-reading a battle report in a White Dwarf magazine from 2001. It's this gritty, grimdark depiction of 40k that made me fall in love with the hobby. Unfortunately, I never got to play a game of Inquisitor, but I'll happily watch you instead 😁 Great work, thanks for the awesome video Eric.
Goober jumpscare, just in time for Halloween.
The part at the end where Brent pops up is just classic. His facial expression makes the perfect outro for the video. Awesome.
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
OMGGGG INCREDIBLE. WHAT A PERFECT AND JOYOUS JUMPSCARE AT THE END
What a wonderful surprise at the end 😊
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!
Looks amazing , miss the old Inquisitor campaigns at my local GW.
Oh man, I am loving the use of 3D printing to make the 54mm scale conversions. LOOOVE IT.
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 😆)
This was so cool. It's always fascinating to learn about old wargaming. Especially when you get to see awesome kit bashing and terrain building. Thanks again Eric, you're awesome :D
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.
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
2:25 wow the art on the right looks like the module behind a space marines head, just implanted under the skin…..i like how grimdark that is.
This is the kind of hobby freedom 12 year old me dreamed of staring at inquisitor minis in white dwarf all those years ago - 3d printing is a stroke of genius! Fantastic work as ever man :)
This is a true tour de force in hobby video making Eric!
Brent can be terrifying when you're not expecting him.
Can't wait for the INQ follow-up vid, this was rad!
This was so cool! Inquisitors are cool because of how they can be kitbashed in so many ways I used Gloria Van Denst from AoS to make my own Inquisitor who carries a Plasma crossbow. Also seeing Brent in this video makes the hype for that video even more exciting Love your videos Eric
Always a most excellent time when you invite someone awesome like Brent from Goobertown Hobbies!!! Cant wait to see a battle rep from you two!!
Man, I never ever wanted to mess with another scale of miniatures until now. Awesome video.
Fantastic video. I look forward to the next one. Please keep doing stuff that excites you, it’s always fun to watch
great video, one of my favourite games, i was lucky enough to be GW store manager when this came out. one of my staff created the inside of a space station as a gaming table. we had it in the shop for games. we all had our warbands. i created a few squat members for mine.( i was known as Squat while working for GW) still have them and loads of other figures. Original and converted including a few marines.
I been waiting my whole life for a video about Inquisitor it has been hard has heck to find info about it! thank you!!
As someone running an Imperium Maledictum campaign today, I draw a direct thread to when I first picked up Inquisitor when it released. Despite having played 40k for decades, Inquisitor was, tonally, the Imperium I always knew.
Still have my copy. I pulled it off the shelf after seeing this.
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!
Bretonnian Jousting Mordheim And now Inquisitor! You keep bringing life into these old (but not forgotten!) Alternative games for Warhammer, keep up the amazing work.
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.
Goober doing a perfect jim Henderson's puppet style intro there at the end. Gotta live him....also, what a video Eric! Love this!
I loved Inquisitor, I loved that you could create your own characters, I made my own from different inquisitor parts and had a lot of fun with it, one of my favourites was playing as an Imperial Guardsman sniper, great fun and I was really sad when it disappeared
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 and glad you have enjoyed the minitures,after watching a piece on inquisitor on you tube the other month I went back to painting my collection of figures that have sat in a box for 22 years and so two months later I have nearly 50 figures finished including most of the inquisitor figures,mutants and henchmen and my favorite a 10 man imperial guard squad with scout,sniper,3man command and auto cannon team with an old britains field piece,will proberly use xenos rampant for the game rules for quickness,did play with gav Thorpe at warhammer World with release of game unfortunately didn't find many others that liked the game,hope you have a great time.
Awesome glad you did some Inquisitior work
I remember reading through the rules bach when the game hit the stores and thinking "Man, this game slaps!" Ammunition management, localized wounds, so much crunch! If only I had a Goober to play with...
This has been such a pleasure to watch as I reminisce about how fool INQ was to me as a young teenager. I love Warhammer when it's themes are taken more seriously and love that you're supporting this artistic line of narrative enquiry. Those 3d models look amazing.
The best game GW ever made. My friends and I just got some minis and got into it because of your video. Thank you very very much for bringing this forgotten game to me and my friends!! 🤘🏻
What a twist at the end!
yeeeeees 54mm inquisitor! lets go!!!
So many memories! At the time, these figurines made us dream, but they were very difficult to find in France for the young teenagers that we were. Just ordering Forge World kits was quite an adventure...😅
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!
This brings back memories. Back in the day when they featured this in White Dwarf every once in a while, I fantasized about a 54 mm scale warband of Orks. :)
My guy this is amazing. Keep up the crazy good work - you are absolutely killing it
