DarthAngel Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Hail to Emperor! One of my all-time favorites in the grim dark lore of 40k has been the dreaded inquisition. Internal police governing the safety of the Mankind from shadows, it's agents given the ultimate power, tools and knowledge to fight for the God Emperor's undying soul. What's cooler than that? Well, the fact that the inquisition has had it's own specialist game-set which, like the agency it represents, is during the years developed, taken into several forms and given the players the privilege to represent their part and point of view of the story as they see fit. This takes us a couple years back, when me and my two friends discovered the Inquisimunda. A very special game-set designed from the base of both Inquisitor and Necromunda, fused together to give players the freedom to fight several different assets of the Imperium, the Xenos and the Ruinous Powers of Chaos in a skirmish environment. After a couple of games using warbands made from our existing models, experimenting the different sides and rule of the game, we started to get anxious to model warbands just for this game alone! Studying the inquisition's history, I started slowly to had a vision what kind of character I wanted to play and build my warband around to. This would take a shape of an grim inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus, the part of inquisition that specifically hunts the enemies within mankind's own ranks. Ideas for modelling came and went, several different tries it took for me to be satisfied of my creation. Close to a year's pass returns us to this day, when our hero(ine) and her crew are ready enough to be unleashed to the public. This topic will tell their story. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Lady-Inquisitor Jucildia Florenza Valkyr, Ordo Hereticus - Jucildia Florenza Valkyr began her life as an orphan abandoned to the doors of a chapel of the Order of Our Martyred Lady of the Adepta Sororitas. Inducted into the sorority she grew into the stirct lifestyle of zealous faith in the God Emperor, proving her skills in taking care and mending wounded critters found at the courtyard and the vinegars surrounding the chapel. So it made perfect sense that she was stationed into the hospitaliery. Not long after, a terrible incident struck Jucildia's chapel. Precise intel of what happened can't be found in the records but it is rumoured that daemonic powers were unleashed within the chapel and were soon investigated by the inquisition. Jucildia's broken body was found amongst the few who survived this incident and was the only one spared from the purgatory. The reasons Jucildia was granted to continue her life are just as deeply clad in shadow as is the question of what had happened in the catacombs deep beneath the chapel's surface. Even Jucildia herself cannot seem to remember the events, possibly traumatized for life by the horrific chapter that would change her life forever. What is certain though, is the fact that Jucildia Valkyr was recruited as an acolyte into the service of the inquisition. Her zealous faith combined with her understandance of human anatomy shaped her into a perfect weapon against the enemies of Mankind and her new master, inquisitor !!! Nemean of the Ordo Hereticus, was getting frankly quite fond of his new tool. As years passed, Jucildia was eventually appointed inquisitor by lord Nemean. Inquisitor Valkyr had grown into a strong-minded individual who had corrupt judges, governors and ministors put to sword with a fiery passion for her mission to save Mankind. One thing that had started eat Valkyr's very soul was the fear and hatred of humanity's weakness. She despised how frail a human mind was, easily tricked by empty promises of wealth and power, easily broken from their faith for their God. Roughly ten solar years after her appointment of office, inquisitor Valkyr, desperate and in the brink of losing her sanity as well as her faith in her responsibilty as humanity's saviour, was contacted by an secret and ancient organization, unknown for many, myth to few and thought to cease exist by even fewer, an order that long ago was in the brink of holding the fate of the whole universe in it's grasp. What kind pacts were made and what did the mysterious order offer to inquisitor Valkyr is unknown but it had Valkyr to continue her mission and life's work with a reforged purpose - and a terrible new weapon...

DarthAngel Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Thank you! I have two more models being prepared and though their backgrounds are at sketch -state, I will probably get them ready soon enough to post them all together. Also, I get to test the group this weekend, my friend challenging me with either a mechanicus or a chaos cult warband! I'll try to tinker a narrative battle report out of it and share the 'first chapter' of inquisitor Valkyr's journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
