Part of me wonders if all this speculating and hoping is even more for naught than usual. There's a lot of failure points between developing a show and going into production and I feel like if a single money person sees even half of a piece of concept art or a pre-vis it all goes out the window. And if it doesn't there's almost no way it comes out full-on Warhammer unless one of the premium channels picks it up and maybe not even then. But god wouldn't it be nice.

Have they confirmed that the series would be live-action? I'm just worried that for major scenes where large amounts of CGI would be necessary, that the CGI will look like rear end 5 years after it's released.

Alternative pants posted:Just skipped from The Crimson King (as promised a few pages back, lots of warp wankery, but not terrible) to the Buried Dagger, which I thoroughly enjoyed even if the DG fleet being stuck in the warp felt really rushed. Are there any of the books in between I should go back and read? Wolfsbane if you like the Space Wolves. Titandeath if you like Titans. Other than that, I'd skip to the Solar War if you're looking for a new book.

Episode one will have enough budget for a small 40k gunfight which will lead to Eisenhorn being catapulted back in time to modern day LA. After a hillarious misunderstanding he ends up an honorary member of the LAPD and has a will-they-won't-they relationship with a young woman detective as they go around solving crimes. Occasionally random characters will pop through another portal because gently caress you. Season 2 will be Ravenor appearing to hunt him down but our hero has learnt to love and his band of plucky humans will band together to send the mean old box back into the warp.

An inquisitor who repeatedly orders an exterminatus is actually in significant jeopardy of losing his job; an LAPD officer is only in serious danger of getting a month’s paid vacation.

Does the inquisition ever cast out one of their own? There are all sorts of references to people becoming “rogue inquisitors” when they fly too close to the proverbial sun and get hunted down, but they still call those people “inquisitors.” I guess maybe it’s like the marines, where once you’re in you’re in.

They can be officially "retired" - see the guy in Eisenhorn who had to give up his badge after he developed space-Alzheimer's. If they go rogue though there's nothing stopping them from flashing their badge and impersonating someone else.

Oh I know Eisenhorn and all of that, but aren’t evil space inquisitors still called “inquisitor” - even by the people that are hunting them? I don’t remember if they ever lose that honorific once they earn it.

A whole bunch of library reserves and holds came in at once and now I've got Pariah, I Am Slaughter, Necropolis, and The Carrion Throne to work my way through. Busy week ahead. One thing I'm curious about is where Pariah fits in with the Eisenhorn books. I was under the impression that it was a sequel to Magos. The publisher info said it was released six years earlier in 2012 so I was way off. Where does it fit in to the chronology of the Eisenhorn and Ravenor series'? edit: 1d4chan claims there's a whole minor Ordos in the Inquisition dedicated to investigating exterminatus orders, and that most inquisitors who call for them are stripped of their rank because it was unnecessary and wasteful. They don't have any sourcing sadly, but it says that "official statistics" have 90% of Inquisitors who blow up planets declared heretics.

And I still disagree with that, read Pariah before Magos, Magos explains some concepts that come up in Pariah but Pariah was written with the idea that the reader wouldn't know the terms ahead of time. Wait, read the short stories, THEN read Pariah, then Magos. I think Perihelion was written before/concurrently with Pariah.

They can also choose to go "special condition" which basically means "Guys! I'm going dark for a bit. Gonna do some shady poo poo. Might check in later, k thanks". Ravenor does this in one of the later books to the extent that his team start questioning if they're still on the right path.. Of course, if you're out of contact for too long and bodies start piling up without a report being filed then you get declared rogue. Note that in a galaxy where time flows differently due to warp travel shennanigans you could be rogue for a long time. SardonicTyrant posted:It's sort of like a designation, in the same way that we mark nuclear weapons, although those kill less people. Also, the more prestigious and powerful you are, the less you get questioned for erasing an entire star system because you saw a tattoo. If you're fresh out of the academy and start shouting exterminatus you're going to get reigned in and slapped down pretty hard. Whereas if you're known throughout the galaxy as the guy who once stopped an elder god from rising by destroying a world and you're at the point where you walk into a room wearing power armour surrounded by flying babies carrying scrolls and skulls singing laments you're PROBABLY going to get a bit more leeway. There's a reason why baby inquisitors have to serve as interrogators first. It gives them a bit of perspective to learn from a grizzled old bastard and also gives them a bit of clout when they step out on their own. "Oh poo poo, that guy was Eisenhorn's understudy!". Not to mention those interrogators often get their big break dealing with their mentor when they realise they're starting to glow purple, keeping pet daemons and waving warp fuelled swords around.

I think Inquisitor Kryptmann got officially thrown out of the Inquisition for calling exterminatus on so many planets to thwart the Tyranid advance by starving them. Technically his plan worked, but it was genocide on such a horrific scale even fellow inquisitors went "uh, that's kinda going too far, you've managed to kill actual percentages of imperial population, which, while impressive, is also horrifying". And then he later created that thing where an Ork Waaargh and a Tyranid Hive Fleet were endlessly fighting each other in some system, each side growing stronger and stronger, and when one side eventually wins, the victor is going to be horrifically powerful. so what I'm saying is you have to be an utterly colossal gently caress up on a galactic scale to get officially thrown out of the Inquisition

Wasn't the final step for the endless war that he was going to Exterminatus the planet, but the fleet got nommed by tyranids or called away to fight Chaos or something like that, and was never replaced? Either way, incredibly stupid.

To be fair to Inquisition, I think they kicked out Kryptmann after the genocide and he did the Kryptmann Gambit (=make Orks and Tyranids fight) afterwards. The Inquisition really should have put some more resources into taking out Kryptmann after they kicked him out, I think.

You also have to be pretty powerful or good to get kicked out of the Inquisition or even face trial. If you are just starting out then it will probably the equivalent to a bullet in the back of the head in a dark ally. Best not to impinge on the reputation of the Inquisition.
