The other Ordos in the Inquisition Thread - Ultimate Apocalypse Mod (DOW SS) for Dawn of War

Something that would be cool to see in the future would be an overall Inquisition rather than just Daemonhunters like the newer codices. At the start of a game you could choose what Ordo you would like to be, and have the corresponding Chamber Militant.

Grey Knights are already there for Malleus, you could have specific units from the Sisters for Hereticus and Deathwatch marines for Xenos which could pretty much look like Sternguard Veterans with the black painted armour. The art's pretty much already there.

I understand the implementation would be a lot of work, this is just an idea I had, not a request.
Great mod though overall, thanks for all your hard work.

I think that unite SoB with Ordo Hereticus subfraction just like in TW miod would be...well...amazing!

Ordo Xenos...I think they could be combined with SM as a subfraction. Don't forget about the Death Watch )

I think joining Sisters with the Inquisition undermines them a little. They are quite independent. In TW the Witch Hunters faction are essentially Sisters of Battle with Inquisition support, however Daemonhunters are the Inquisition with Grey Knights support. TW does pull it off, but it doesn't make complete sense to me.

I think Sisters should be left how they are, and if the Inquisition as the full organisation is introduced then they can be supported by particular Sisters units or Grey Knights as they are in Daemonhunters or Deathwatch.

As for combining them with the Marines, that undermines the Inquisition. The Inquisition directs the Deathwatch, not the other way around. And it'll make things complicated, SM are pretty much perfect as they are now in UA.

Yeah that's exactly what I meant (with Sisters for Hereticus). It would be pretty neat, but I guess hard to balance.

It would also be cool if the AI was programmed so that they would be more likely to choose Malleus if they're fighting Chaos, Hereticus if they're fighting other Imperial forces and Xenos if they're fighting Xenos.

Choose your Inquisition? Like )

And...don't forget. This is a game. Developers said that they won't do anymore races. But...subfractions like Inquisition may be much easier to add.

however, the Witchunter are not only composed of the sister of battle, but also by some members of the Adeptus Arbites, Assassinorum officio and in rare cases some members of adeptus custodes

Oh okay. Well we already have assassins and it depends how rarely the Custodes are a part of Witch Hunters if they should be added too. I'm guessing not very often though I may be wrong.

The Arbites would be awesome to have but not possible because of permissions.

So that just leaves Sisters and Assassins.

True, just depends on them. I understand why they made the decision to not add races; they have lots on their plate. That's why this is more of a "dream request".

what permission? Well not about to add a whole race, but only 2-3 units, such as the Guard, Referee and Bounty Hunter

I meant the permissions for the Witch Hunters mod's models. The premise of my suggestion (for this thread) was that art doesn't need to be created from scratch, though this is not the case for the Arbites. If the UA devs did the art however, the Arbites would fit right in with the Ordo Hereticus like you said.

+Just 5-8 Inquisitorial Units...Stormtroopers, 3 inquisitors (Hereticus/girl/Throne of Judgement) and Inquisitorial transport for them. Just a support subfraction for IG and SoB to fight daemons.

Well I guess it's quite doable then. We have shotguns and bolters; and the power batons and riot shields wouldn't be hard to make. And using other models as a basis for the Arbites models as you said would make that much easier.

This brings me back to what I was saying at the start: the art's already there. Having the Inquisition as the full organisation is very possible.

I'm leaning more toward having the Inquisition as it's own faction rather than support for others. This is supported by the fluff too; even if the Inquisition often isn't fighting on the frontlines Inquisitors have the most power in major decisions such as Exterminatus. I wouldn't expect an Inquisitor to be given orders from a IG Colonel or a Sororitas Canoness.

Furthermore, their lack of variety in army composition requires them to be supported by factions like the Guard or the Sisters.
