INQUISITOR DARKHAMMER

rolled 3 = 3

>>17229903
I met him before. He lived up to the name. However, you can skip Inquisitor Bangme. Total wash in that department.

>>17229903
This guy must be, like, made out of skulls.

>>17229922
AND HAMMERS!

>>17229903
INQUISITOR DARKHAMMER, YOUR BROTHER INQUISITOR GRIMHAMMER, IS HERE TO SEE YOU. SHALL I PREPARE YOUR BABY ARMOR?

>>17229939
the dreadknight?

"Sir, Sir."
"Yes, what is it?"
"The Inquisitor has arrived"
"Ah well I suppose he's just here to tell us what a good job we've been doin-"
"his name is Inquisitor Darkhammer"
"fill the shuttle with supplies and my personal bodyguar-"
"BY THE POWER OF DARKNESS I HAVE THE HAMMER!!!!!!!!!"

>>17229939
GRIMHAMMER?
WHERE IS MY BROTHER INQUISITOR WARHAMMER?

Screw Valeria; the GK codex should have featured Darkhammer instead.

>>17229959
He is currently crusading with your cousin Sledgehammer on the ice world of Frostyheretics

>>17229978
Screw GK codex, it should be Darkhammer and friends codex.

>mfw a religion trollthread turns into DARKHAMMER

What kind of parents name their kid "Darkhammer"?

It's just like in Black Dynamite.

STOP! 'TIS TIME FOR INQUISITOR M. C. HAMMER!

>>17229992
>What kind of parents don't name their kid Darkhammer?

Fixed that heresy for ya.

>>17229957

Inquisitors are well known for showing up to congratulate people on doing their job well, after all.

>>17229999
>Inquisitor Darkhammer
>Son of SoB Firehammer and Inquisitor GrimHammer
>His best friend was the salamander blaquius dinamitastus
>Now he purges the heresy with his battle brother, warhammer-

So, in the Warhammer Universe, in the Order of the Hammer, there is an Inquisitor named Darkhammer.

Yep, this was definitely made by the same who came up with Iron Hands of the Iron Hands who had Iron Hands.

"...written by weak man who seeks control over all that he does not understand"
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WOMAN? MY NAME IS DARKHAMMER"

INQUISITOR WARHAMMER, WE SEEM TO HAVE BROKEN THE 4TH WALL.

WITH A HAMMER.

Sometimes accompanied by his giant Uncle JACKHAMMER, who is surprisingly fast for his age.

>>17230065
Who himself has a smaller, quicker brother named TRIPHAMMER.

Next time we have a drawthread, we need to request a portrait of this guy.

That we shall use in our DH campaigns.

>shortly before the destruction of Calock
I like this. People will see the quote, and think that the inquisitor is being the only reasonable man in the whole damn setting. Then GW goes and implies that his open mind led to the destruction of a planet. As inept as they are at writing fluff, they get the occasional gem.

>>17230083
We need a family portrait of the whole HAMMER clan.

>>17230040 Order of the Hammer

Unfortunately Darkhammer is from Hereticus.

>>17230093
but it's not DARKHAMMER who's being open-minded here, it's Valeria. Whose meddling with Xenos got her trapped in a necron pokeball.

>>17230093
Actually Dark Hammer ordered the exterminatus on that planet.

>>17230100

Oh, god damnit. What's a guy named Darkhammer doing in the Hereticus?

Sounds like the Inquisitions HR department fucked up.

>>17229939
SONS, I AM DISAPPOINTED IN THE BOTH OF YOU, YOU ARE FAILING TO LIVE UP TO THE SKULLHAMMER NAME

>>17230116
Such a fucking missed opportunity, man.

<Incoming transmission from INQUISITOR DARKHAMMER>

YOU ARE TO ATTACK THE EYE OF TERROR...

DIRECTLY.

YOU SEE THE PROBLEM EVERYONE ELSE HAS BEEN HAVING IS THAT THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO ATTACK THE HERETICS IN THE EYE.

THERE'S A SHIP WAITING FOR YOU.

DARKHAMMER OUT

<end transmission>

>>17230116
they can easily pass from an ordo to another

You had to just 'hammer' that home didn't you?

>>17230128
OH YEAH, DO IT WITH A HAMMER
SHOULD DO THE TRICK

>>17230128

And then the ship is shaped like a giant space hammer.

Fucking darkhammer thread deserves a brograsp.

"INQUISITOR HAMMERZEIT, WHAT ARE YOU ORDERS?"
"STOP"

>>17230143
And why wouldn't it, pray tell?

>captcha: who uzerlAf
We have a pilot.

>>17230093
Darkhammer is clearly the badguy here, since only libtards live in England.

>>17230143

>>17230143

I read that as "giant space hamster"

Yeah, I reinstalled Baldur's Gate II recently.

>>17230182

I almost typed it as hamster.

>>17230169
WHAT

But that's bullshit!
Dude prevented that stupid bitch from triggering yet another galaxy-ending artifact, and she declares him heretic?!

>>17230040
40K isn't that imaginative.

The 18 Legions were all named using the same 20 words. We have such gems as the Iron Fists and Iron Warriors, the Space Wolves and Luna Wolves and the Dark Angels, the first legions, originally being called "The First".

Matthew Ward probably did have that mindset when writing her. It's amazing how that part of the fluff was almost decent though, with Valeria going fullradical.jpg

>>17230169
No, Valeria, you are the heretics.

>INQUISITOR DARKHAMMER

If it's a black guy I will bust into laughter

The ranged specialist is DRILLHAMMER, the youngest of GRIMHAMMER's sons, who is renown for his accuracy.

>>17230210
Full retard too. What kind of radical would try to sue a puritan inquisitor for doing his job?

>>17230222
He has a brother named SUPREMEHAMMER who tends the farm in an agriworld.

>>17230169
Valeria: BAWWWWWW.
Darkhammer: u mad, radical?

>>17230215
He will crush the enemy beneath his Inquisitorial boot.

>>17230228
A smart one. Or a powerful one.

It's the weaklings who run with tail between their legs when confronted with madness and stupidity.

Darkhammer could be from a world that used to have lots of melee fighting. Darkhammer could literally mean "guy whose ancestors fought with a dark hammer."

>>17230254
But as it is, it's just Valeria going BAWWWW KILL THE MEAN PURITAN. Honestly, the sector conclave is probably watching their antics and choking in laughter. If Inquisitors laughed.

>>17230254
But she's the crazy stupid one, here. Radicals always end up badly, and she did fuck up a few times.

>>17230264
So a dark hammer is a hammer that's been poorly lit up? Man, those savages sure had a good sense of contrast, tone and chiaroscuro.

>>17230270
Inquisitors don't laugh, they just tut at the heresy...

>>17230169
>Imma dick around with something called the fucking dimensional forge.
>OH NO DAEMON'S EVERYWHERE. I know, I should dick around with this dimensional forge more!

Exterminatus is a good ending.

>>17230270

They accepted a guy named DARKHAMMER into their ranks.

I think they've got a fine sense of humor.

>What kind of parents name their kid "Darkhammer"?

Wouldn't Darkhammer be the family name ?

>>17230281
>Emil Darkhammer
>Emil

>>17230281

Oh fuck

It's EXACTLY what's happening: >>17230270

>>17230276

Nah, radicals only always end up badly in simplistic fanfiction.

Bumbling antics of the puritans can alert Chaos to Inquisition's covert operations or deny Mankind potent weaponry. That's why some won't put up with their shit. From Space Wolves codex:

>The radical Inquisitor Lord Querrian turns Chaos against itself upon the Daemon infested world of Yaogeddon. Sven Bloodhowl's Great Company, themselves battling the daemonic hordes at Yaegeddon's molten core, are astonished when the legions of Khorne and Slaanesh turn on each other to the exclusion of all else. The astonished Sven orders his men to hold off, and when the dust settles Sven and Querrian join forces to mop up the remainder of the daemonic horde with ease.

>Days later, puritan Inquisitors of the Ordo Malleus arrive to execute Querrian for his heretical and unorthodox methods. Sven Bloodhowl intervenes, bristling with indignation at what he percieves as a gross injustice. The Ordo malleus do not back down, and war is declared under a full moon. Though the Space Wolves eventually desist, it is not until Sven's actions have bought Querrian enough time to escape.

>>17230292
Norton Darkhammer III

>>17230314
Ned Darkhammer Jr.

>>17230290
>>17230292
This is obviously a play on words with Emile Durkheim.

>>17230313
No, Radicals either die or end badly. At least for the Ordo Malleus. Ordo Xenos and Hereticus have a little more leeway, because their Radicalism tends to involve less tentacles and warp exposure. Malleus? Chaos cultmongering, daemon weapons, dark mechanicus bullshit....

doesn't look very grimdark

>>17230330

A Malleus Inquisitor using Eldar methods would be considered a radical. So would someone using a tesseract labyrinth or willing to reorganize Imperium.

The idea that they are all Quixos or something is fanfiction.

>>17230319
>>17230343

>>17230349
Yes, but Istvaanians and Eldar-lovers tend not to go out in messy explosions of gore and warpfire. They're still more prone to falling off the righteous path or getting killed by their colleagues though. That's the point of most styles of Radical: it gets results, but with increased risk.

>>17230343
Still looks like a great Inquisitor though.

>>17230398

Yes but "increased risk" doesn't mean "paladin falls lol". This fluff actually does not involve daemon-using radical inquisitors. The Space Wolves saved one and undoubtedly caused dire losses to the puritan pursuers.

Since Sven Bloodhowl continues to lead a Great Company in the present, they got away with it too. High Lords give deaf ear to Inquisitors or priests complaining about Space Wolves.

>>17230404
He just needs to put on his power armor adorned with the skulls of ten thousand imperial citizens.

Like Melvin from Slut Patrol.

>>17230427
Space Wolves are the mary sue chapter though.

>>17230451

Dark Angels casually flip off the Inquisition and the Administratum too. For example, at the beginning stages of the 13th Crusade, Azrael gave the Guard and Navy an ultimatum: Black Crusade is an internal matter of the Astartes and other Imperial forces better back the fuck off.

Creed, supported by Logan Grimnar, told Azrael he was insane, so what did he do? Call off the Dark Angels and all their successors from the Cadian Gate and nearby sectors and bugger off to the ruins of Caliban, greatly weakening the Imperial defence before Abby's initial strike. And no one could do shit about that.

>>17230514
Wow, what a little bitch.

>>17230343
OHYEAH?!

>>17230600
AW YEAH

>>17230600
i wonder if he is friend with Inquisitor Karl Marximus

>>17230514
The primary reason behind that was also the rivalry between the Space Wolves and Dark Angels. Azrael saw it as Creed being backed by his rival; Logan, so the last thing he wanted to do was support him. He then proceeded to take the Dark Angels successors to Caliban as stated, and only came back WHEN CYPHER IS MENTIONED TO HAVE POPPED UP. Then he proceeds to act like he was going to come back all along and fights alongside the Imperium after costing them the initial fight. It's obnoxious because Logan Grimnar even put aside his Chapter rivalry and was the bigger man, asking the Dark Angels for help.

What's really god damn stupid about the whole rivalry is that it's been taken out of context so much in the past millennia since Russ and Lion'el disappeared. Initially it was a brotherly rivalry of sorts with brawls and honor duels that didn't see anyone dead; just minorly injured and/or pride wounded. Then over time it became "Hurr Fuck You Guys" and the duels became duels to the death, or full-on open conflict. Even the 13th Company featured in Wolf's Honor(A Ragnar Blackmane book) mentioned how Lion and Russ never hated each other and loved each other as brothers; despite their pride and stubbornness; and thought anyone who'd act like the two Chapters do today would be told they're pants-on-head-retarded by either of the Primarchs.

Azrael has pretty much made the Dark Angels look like absolute retards since he's been Chapter Master. On Vraks, he got his ass handed to him by a Chaos Champion(cost himself a few good Chaplains and Captains in that conflict too; all by the same Champion), has sent the Chapter around chasing after Fallen more than ever, has pissed off the Inquisition, and then there's the whole Black Crusade issue. I love the Dark Angels, but Azrael is causing way too many problems.

>>17230609
He sure is.

>>17230647
Oh fuck you.
i just done it

>>17230670
Not bad, bro. No need for hostility.

>>17230638
WWWOOOOOOOWW

Fuck the Dark Angels.

>>17230758

ok I'm out of inquisitors with hammers.

plus it's 3:30am so I should probably get some sleep. I have however put aside some pats for a DARKHAMMER conversion, so we'll see how that goes tomorrow.

>>17230862
Better be DARK and HAMMER

Bump

Also going to sleep. Inquisitor Karl Marximus was tough work.

G'night all, and let's not forget to get some DARKHAMMER in the next available drawthread.

>>17230872
I have a couple of thunderhammers somewhere, and I plan on using some bits from SM command squad.

and GS beard and stache.

>>17230169
What the fuck is a dimensional forge?

>>17231005

MacGuffin.

>>17230169
Wait a second, that guy tried to kill off a number of marines and Grey Knights, not to mention a fellow Inquisitor, and he's still alive?

Inquisitorial justice is a bit...lacking.

>>17231080
Inquisitor justice is basically "might makes right"

>>17231080

That's what happens when you have an organization with absolute power, no checks and balances, and expect it to "self-regulate".

The Inquisition is actually dumber than spess when you think about it.

>>17231080
You try arguing with Emil Darkhammer.
Dude is a master of the rhetoric

Where's all this awesome Inquisitor drama fluff written in? I want to DL and read.

>>17231484
I believe it's the Grey Knights codex by Mat Ward

>>17231490
Thanks buddy. Anything else I should hit up for excellent Inquisition fluff? I've already done a runthrough on Imperial Armour and the codices for my Space Marine/Black Templar dietary fluff needs.

>>17231509
The older codices, Daemonhunter and Witchhunter appear in my mind

>>17231567
Awesome.

Darkhammer

heh

ok i'm done now

God damn it. This thread convinced me to finally convert up a Radical Ordo Malleus Inquisitor to go along with my Valeria and Kyptman models.

HOORAY DEMON WEAPONS.

>>17231477
Yeah, I'm sure whichever Captain or Grandmaster was in charge of leading most of a brotherhood into battle would have words with him.

Grey knights do have one thing in common with regular space marines: they don't appreciate someone trying to kill them.

You know, those words suit Lorgar pretty damn well.

>>17231802
What's that Hellrifle?

I still think the new weapon designs look horrible.

>>17235520
Psycannon is the only one that looks different.

>>17230109
she got better

>>17235700
And now can use that pokeball for herself.

>>17235702
RADICALISM!

>>17235702
CARNIFAX, I CHOOSE YOU

you should obviously go with the Daemon Hammer

>>17230207
So it's the group that did all the naming for Crackdown?

>>17235662
It still looks like ass.

>>17230207

>The 18 Legions were all named using the same 20 words. We have such gems as the Iron Fists and Iron Warriors, the Space Wolves and Luna Wolves and the Dark Angels, the first legions, originally being called "The First".

So we can actually figure out the names of the missing legions.

2: Death Hands
11: Night Warriors

>Emil Darkhammer
>Evil Darkhammer

I love it.

>>17235758

It's over, 40k is solved

>>17235758

We need to write up the fight that turned the Death Hands and Night Warriors against each other and was such a fuck-up that the Imperium and Chaos.... decided to forget about it.

>>17236864
The Night Warriors, despite their names, were terrified of the dark. So it was a tense moment when they were forced to pitch their tents with the Death Hands on the planet Darkulus Darkhammer (home of the Darkhammer people).

>>17236884
The homeworld of Inquisitor Darkhammer?

>>17236982
OF COURSE

Perhaps Valeria should call up her Necron boyfriend to deal with DARKHAMMER.

>>17237082
Valeria seems kinda heretical, if I do say so myself.
Didn't she given him like 3 Catachan IG regiments for one of the tesseract labyrinths?

>>17237835
not on purpous

>>17237835

Valeria, never mind her troops, didn't even know what was going on in there.

>>17237865
They should have sent Darkhammer.

>>17237865
So your telling me Trazyn thought her body gaurds were gifts and he just decided to give her a tesseract labyrinth because of her generosity?

Fucker has class. Too bad he's so mediocre on table top.

so are inquisitors allowed to be openly heretical?

>>17237914
Who has the authority to accuse them?

>>17237914
No. But it seems that Valeria believes they are, but that's only because she's not very smart.

>>17237897
>What is sarcasm.

>>17237914

No and yes. Yes they can have opinions and beliefs of their own, yes they have room to move and some even employ the weapons of the enemy.

No they can't strap chaos stars to themselves and run around screaming blood for the blood god. It's a fine line they tread and thankfully there is always another inquisitor around keeping an eye on them. The Inquisition is self regulating on that front.

>>17237961
>The Inquisition is self regulating on that front.
probably why it's so corrupt.

>>17237961
And you can be a horse!

>>17237975
Indeed and also the entire point of the Inquisitor game. Which is a lot of fun I may add. We used to scale the rules down and use it with 40k models.

>>17237978
>mfw

I thought all the humans adhered to every law of the Emperor and did not think differently at all otherwise ever.

Generally radical inquisitors keep their theories to themselves. They act in a manner that supports their ideology's goals, and only speak of that ideology to known like minds, or those they think they can convert.

As far as radicals actions, they may use the weapons of the enemy, but do so in the greatest of secrecy, their acolytes may not even know what is happening. And other than isstavanians, radicals don't go around causing trouble.

Honestly at this point the inquisition probably sees the space wolves messing with their plans as par for the course. Only the fact that the spacewolves are such a huge chapter keeps them safe from purging. If they were a codex chapter, the inquisition would have wiped them out a long time ago, 1000 marines isn't impossible to bring to heel, but 10000 sure is.

Nobody remembers pic related? Imagine THIS Hammer as an Inquisitor.

>trust me, I know what I'm doing

>>17238170
Wolves are only like 1200 + auxiliaries + PDF.

>>17238422
>>17238170
But DARKHAMMER needs them alive.
They aren't brotier for him, but they challange him to drinking contests.
That's a bad idea, Darkhammer can outdrink everybody.

>>17238422

That just speaks more highly of their personal power.

Inquisition should tread lightly in the den of wolves.

>naming the other members of the Darkhammer family
>everyone forgets BANHAMMER, the elderly patriarch of the clan
Forgetting BANHAMMER is heresy!

>>17238422
That's a codex following chapter. The Ultramarines have that organization exactly.

>>17229840
My mother was an atheist, and my father later became one as well.

>>17238542
Ultramarines have 1200 INCLUDING auxiliaries and drivers and the like with only 1000 "True" marines.

Wolves have as many true marines as a Codex chapter has total marines, and more like 300+ auxiliaries on top of that. Or was it 1600 total with 1300 base and 300 off-the-books?

>>17238170
it's more 'first founding and emps executioners' really. Wolves are badass.

>>17238561
nobody really knows, but they're way amongst the most numerous chapters.
