“All my life, I have had a reputation for being cold, unfeeling. Some have called me heartless, ruthless, even cruel. I am not. I am not beyond emotional response or compassion. But I possess – and my masters count this as perhaps my paramount virtue – a singular force of will. Throughout my career it has served me well to draw on this facility and steel myself, unflinching, at all that this wretched galaxy can throw at me. To feel pain or fear or grief is to allow myself a luxury I cannot afford.” 

–Eisenhorn, Gregor; Inquisitor.

What a year.

Greetings Ynqvisitor.

Welcome to Venus, the brightest thing we can see staring into the sky at night.

Welcome to adventure. A celebration. A culmination. For next year is the twentieth birthday of life changing lore. The Inquisitor Rule book. It’s time to create Art.

I will share with you inspirations and reflections of the original rule book – the level setting one liner, “Everything you have been told is a lie”, to the multifaceted institution in eternal secret war, to the art full of duels and dense skirmish warfare.

But today. Just a peek. Four aspects of inspiration. First two (C) Games Workshop, then (C) One of Rembrandts students and finally (C) Jie Ma

And then a piece of Art from me.

Without the Dark, there can be no Light,
We have purpose
Without the Lie, there can be no Truth,
We have purpose
Without the War, there can be no Victory,
We have purpose
Without the Death, there can be no sacrifice,
We have purpose
Without the Hope there can be no Future,
We have purpose
Without the Loyalty there can be no one chapter,
We have purpose
Without the Emperor, there is nothing,…
And we would have no purpose
