In the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, some battles are fought not by massive armies, but in the shadows. This is the domain of the Inquisition, the secret police of the Imperium, tasked with protecting humanity from its greatest threats: the heretic, the xenos, and the daemon. Their authority is absolute, their methods are whatever the situation demands.
An Inquisitor rarely works alone. They operate with a hand-picked retinue of specialists, an eclectic and often unlikely collection of individuals bound by loyalty or necessity. This Kill Team is a perfect representation of such a warband. It’s not a standard military squad, but a diverse group of operatives, each with a specific role: from the hardened veteran guardsman providing firepower, to the zealous acolyte ready to die for the cause, to the strange and loyal cyber-mastiff sniffing out corruption.
For this project, we focused on capturing the grim, mysterious nature of the Inquisition. The dark, imposing color scheme, combined with the determined look of each operative, creates a force that feels ready to purge any threat to the Imperium, no matter the cost.
An Inquisitor's retinue is a reflection of their methods and personality; it’s one of the most characterful forces you can collect. But painting such a diverse group of unique individuals can be a daunting task. If you have a vision for your own Inquisitor and their warband, we can help you assemble a team with the detail and character each operative deserves.
