    You know there has to be _at least_ one time that an inquisitorial chain of authority has gotten twisted into a loop. It makes me imagine a situation where, like 50 years after submitting some kind of request for authorization, some poor inquisitor gets it put on his desk and it's his own requisition.

    There are a handful of groups that the Inquisition cannot compel. The Adeptus Astronomica, for instance - the group that staffs the Astronomican on Holy Terra - is entirely within their rights to tell the Inquisition to pound sand if they don't feel like allowing an Inquisitor in to have a look. Given that without the Astronomican in good working order, interstellar travel would pretty much come to an end, no one really wants to push that organization very far.

    Three points about the War of the Beast, not in defense of the quality of the books but in defense of some of the lore it provided.
    1. Established lore already hinted that if you get enough Waaagh energy Orks get stronger and smarter, so with enough Orks them devolving back into Krork makes sense.
    2. Orks being soccer hooligans, them calling these super orks "Prime Orks" as a laugh about the Primarchs fits the tone and tenor of the orks.
    3. By the time of the war, and how quickly orks move in comparison to the Imperium, the idea of the Waaagh forming after the assumption that they were eradicated isn't that much of a stretch of credulity and could be good if the writing were at a competent level.

The thing is, the cult had been long since defeated by that point and the planet had enjoyed 6000 years of peace since then, with basically no one alive even knowing there had ever been a Chaos Cult in the distant past.

    A thing that I haven't seen in the lore myself but would like to see more of is the idea of a tech radical. From all the lore that I have personally read, radical inquisitors always tend to use chaos, now imagine an inquisitor that is a puritan when it comes to chaos, but then turns around and fans a necron Gauss flayer like a revolver.
    Honestly that to me seems like it should be the more common form of a radical. Unlike the warp, tech is for the most part reliable and in most cases doesn't corrupt you. In very fact, if we go back to necrons, it can be used to fight chaos without having to use chaos yourself (like the Cadian Pylons).
    Hell it doesn't even have to be xenos tech. You could have a radical inquisitor with a savant who invents new shit, much to the chagrin of tech adepts. I just want to see more examples of such cases in the lore tbh.

      Alot of Inquistors actually read Cain's Memoirs for insight into the enemy. Cain has more experience with Xenos and the forces of Chaos than most initiate Inquisitors and even gives them pointers from beyond the grave (Inquisitors disguising themselves as rogue traders is too obvious).

    I always found it extremely weird that the imperium literally most unilaterally powerful force outside of the high lords, dont have a particular and strict method of recruiting and ensuring good practices. I mean, the marines at least psycho-indoctrinate their apprentices, but I would think that you would want stringent tests and procedures before you allow someone to have the powers of an inquisitor rather than it being ad hoc.

And we have everything in-between as well as there interactions with Planetary govenors, Generals, and such who can't tell them no to Astartes who actively tell them to F off if they overstep even if it puts them at risk.

    Hector Rex is an example of an inquisitor with access to the Grey Knights. But in his case, it's not just seniority. The lord inquisitor is in-fact everything just short of a proper Grey Knight captain himself. I was curious how he could take on the bloodthirster An'ggrath, until I read his background and physical+mental enhancement. So I'd imagine any particularly noteworthy inquisitor usually has some kind of background-boon like that.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this.
    Thank you.
    When you do videos of Caine and ravenor and Eisenhorn, I would advise to humanize them a little.
    Eisenhorn and ravenor make incredible sacrifices in service of mankind. Caine as well can be humanized. The galaxies bravest and most capable survivalist. He tries to avoid dangerous situations and keeps getting into them regardless.
    Eisenhorn could have disappeared into the imperium many times over. Letting someone else deal with the terrifying horrors of the galaxy. But that doesn’t happen. This is a almost superhuman dedication to duty even after everything he has been through. Torturered, crippled both physically and mentally, loosing friends and loved ones again and again. These are psychopathic levels of drive and determination.
    The same can be said for ravenor. The human tin box.
    I lost my body???
    Fuck it. I’m gonna do my duty regardless.
    As far as Caine is concerned. Remember that Caine is hilarious and also he is not a coward he is a survivor. He doesn’t run from danger, he doesn’t panic. He always does what would maximize his chances of survival.
    Panicking and running from danger is in most cases fatal. That’s why Caine almost never does it.
    These are of course fictional characters but authors usually put their fears and contempt in their villains, and their aspirations and ideals in their heroes.
    Mention and acknowledge Eisenhorns fortitude and courage, ravenors genius and resilience, and even Caines cunning.
