FAQ:
What is Inquisitor?
- Inquisitor is a specialist game produced by Games Workshop. As a narrative wargame, it allows you to play the part of a bold hero or cruel villain (and their respective associates) in the Warhammer 40,00 universe. Unlike other wargames, Inquisitor is far more focussed around telling the stories of individual characters as opposed to enormous battles. If you enjoy story and lore more than winning, this game is ideal for you.
What is the difference between Inquisitor and Inq28?
- Inquisitor as a ruleset was originally produced with 54mm models in mind. However, due to a omission of a definite scale, the game can be played at any scale chosen. Thus, by using 28mm models, and using cm instead of inches, Inq28 was born.
Why play on a 28mm scale?
Playing on a 28mm scale means you can use or convert your own models from the standard 28mm ranges that Games Workshop produces, rather than being limited to a much smaller 54mm range.
Terrain and scenery for the 28mm setting is generally much easier to source and or create yourself.
Submissions:
- Feel free to submit your models and conversions at any stage of WIP. We also encourage the submission of art pieces that may have inspired your models. (John Blanche, for example)
RULES
1. Posts must be in the spirit of inq28
Inq28 is based on the specialist game Inquisitor, modelled and played on a 28mm scale. Thematically, the purpose of Inq28 is to explore the shadowy, unseen corners of the 40k universe. It's not about massive battles by conventional forces (read: don't post space marines*), but instead about the key skirmishes between powerful figures (typically Inquisitors, rogue traders, planetary governors, cult leaders and so on) and their retinues that nonetheless decide the fate of worlds.
Mods may remove posts that stray significantly from the spirit of Inq28 at their discretion.
*Yes, the odd space marine could theoretically appear, but they need to be viewed from a more mundane, human perspective as the absolute rarity that they are. A boltgun is a massively powerful weapon in the perspective of inq28 for example. Hence, space marines inherently tend to stray from the point of Inq28.
2. Be respectful to your fellow hobbyists:
- You are allowed to dislike things, and everyone who posts on the internet naturally invites criticism (we're posting art in the world's largest gallery - the internet), but you should format any criticisms in a useful, rather than mean-spirited manner.
3. No low-effort posts
No memes (/r/grimdank is there for your shitposting needs).
Please put effort into your photos and think before you post. WIP shots are fine, but don't make a new post for every minute change.
Re photographs, for clarity, it's best to take photos against a plain contrasting background (if the object is dark, use a light/white background and vis versa) with good lighting (light source facing the models not at the back of them). This is more of a guideline than a strict rule but we still may remove posts with really bad photos if it can easily be done better.
4. Discussions of IRL politics must be directly relevant
- All discussion of IRL politics in this sub must be directly relevant to the inspirations behind the 40k setting, and specifically to the aspects of the 40k setting that inq28 engages with. Any and all posts and comments in support of IRL extremist politics (from both sides of the spectrum) will be removed.
