Another Animation WIP. choreographing is a bit tough for me but I think I'm coming up with some cool stuff.

[matrim-cauthons-hat]

i want to see more EVAs in 40k. like 'space' is on the name of space marines, have them fighting it out with the tau on the hull of a starship, or skitarii pinned down by traitor marines as the prevent a boarding action, or a group of votann kin being repelled by an imperial knight that has magnatised itself to the hull

[mydetheturk]

still playing through 40k inquisitor: martyr (finally beat the main game! time to dick around w/ prophecy & finish the other dlc) and im in love with one ambrose caradoc. i dont think its just me, im pretty sure the collective that is the inquisitor & retinue also love this man. (or at least want this man.)

one (1) delightful freeblade knight stole my heart. pretty sure if he asked my inquisitor would commit heresies for him.

Freeblade knight 'Fortunes Fallen' piloted by Baron Bellamy Voss, and tended to by Achmagos Dianthe.

[pax-imperium]

Units 5-6 and 5-7 preparing for deployment in support of the Arbites.

5-6 and 5-7 were originally bondsmen of a freeblade knight who was tried, found guilty of sedition and executed by the Adeptus Arbites. The 2 bondsmen, having been the ones to initially question the knights loyalty to both Terra and Mars were attached to the Arbites shortly after the execution and have served the Emperor in this role ever since.

ok so the vogue is apparently called the 'pugi' in japanese but when i first heard it called that i heard it as 'pogey' for some reason, and now i can't stop thinking about thracia but with fraggles.

@dimiclaudeblaigan replied to your post “Tbf to Jeralt, it's possible that his merc band...”:

Yeah I could tell they wanted to mirror Greil but they did it so poorly lol. The GMs /were/ kinda humble as far as food they had iirc, but they no doubt had more than Jeralt's group (they were very skilled but had far fewer ppl to feed, which means more jobs thus more money but less mouths to feed). Greil also didn't do anything nearly as questionable as Jeralt (Greil's worst crime was not telling his kids that laguz existed tbh... even tho they lived in Gallia before).

​IIRC the Greil merc pick their jobs, so they don't take the first ones available, is it because Greil has so many "offers" he can chose what he's going to do and the kids will be fed anyways, or because he is still someone decent, and won't accept taking an offer to, idk, attack refugees or something?

Also, iirc, Greil took orphans under his wings at least 4 times? First with the Oscar siblings (even if Rolf's mom is still around?), then with Soren?

What Post-Trespasser Stories Reveal About the Inquisitor

I recently finished reading Tevinter Nights and it struck me that these stories created a consistent portrayal of the Inquisitor - as if the writers were shaping a canonical vision of who the Inquisitor is.

In stories like The Dread Wolf Take You, Callback, Genitivi Dies in the End, and Murder by Death, and a bit of other extra media, there’s a consistent throughline in how the Inquisitor is described.

1. Still Leading, Still Impactful

In The Dread Wolf Take You, when Solas reveals himself to Charter, he doesn’t speak of the Inquisition as a disbanded or faceless group. He says: “When you report back to the Inquisitor… Say that I am sorry.” The wording is direct, and his voice falters as he says it. That moment reveals two things: the Inquisitor remains the point of contact and authority within the organization - and Solas still feels something personal toward them, suggesting the Inquisitor is someone who can still shake a 'god'.

In Genitivi Dies in the End, Charter continues to lead missions under the Inquisition’s banner. The story’s most sensitive discoveries - truths about the Evanuris and the Veil - are deemed too dangerous to publish. Instead, the information is sent “for the generals”, implying a still-functioning command structure with the Inquisitor at the top - suggesting continuity and trust in the Inquisitor’s judgment.

That trust extends to temporary alliances too. In Dark Fortress, Fenris joins a team of Inquisition agents in a mission to stop a red lyrium ritual that threatens Thedas. The Inquisition is a force where it can even bring in allies like Fenris, who historically has strong anti-mage and anti-authoritarian views, but still sees value in this cause.

In Murder by Death, Cassandra speaks on the Inquisitor’s behalf when ordering an agent to stop an assassination plot in Nevarra. She makes clear: “The Inquisitor does not wish to see that happen.” implying that the Inquisitor remains involved in major political decisions and is still regarded as a central authority by senior figures.

2. A Leader Worth Following

When Charter confronts Solas in The Dread Wolf Take You, she speaks as someone still acting on the Inquisitor’s moral example: “You told the Inquisitor that you were going to destroy this world. Did you expect us not to try to stop you?” Her conviction reflects loyalty to the Inquisitor’s judgment. That influence lingers and it extends beyond Charter. In Dragon Age: Absolution, we see agents still working in the Inquisition’s name - gathering allies, retrieving dangerous magical artifacts, and confronting threats linked to Solas’ broader network. In The Missing, Varric and Harding are personally tasked by the Inquisitor to pursue Solas through the Deep Roads and beyond. Their mission is about carrying forward a purpose they still believe in, even when the odds are against them. The fact that these field operatives continue to coordinate, recruit, and act with shared direction suggests they still recognize a leader worth following. This isn’t a scattered resistance - it’s the legacy of someone whose influence still holds them together. Varric's letters in Veilguard support this as well.

All of this - agents acting in the field, dangerous intelligence routed back to them, and political directives issued in their name - builds a consistent picture. The Inquisitor isn’t just a symbol of a bygone era. They are still trusted, still informed, and still pursuing Solas. And what they know - about the elven gods, the Veil, and Solas’ - goes far deeper than Veilguard alone suggests.

3. The Inquisition Was a Reflection of The People

In Callback, Sutherland and his companions return to a silent, corrupted Skyhold. The story pauses to reflect on the reach of the Inquisition that once called it home. The nobility feared the Inquisition’s size - “ten thousand” soldiers, assassins, diplomats, and freeblades loyal not to crowns, but to a cause. That kind of devotion is implied to be unsettling to a world built on lineage and borders. More horrifying to them still was the idea that all of it could be wielded by one person: the Inquisitor. They were called a “charismatic monster,” because the nobility feared them for how compelling, powerful, and persuasive they were.

But the same passage affirms that this 'feared' leader didn’t misuse their power. Instead, they unified Thedas to oppose a false god - and in doing so, gave people a purpose beyond politics. The memory of that moment, when the Inquisitor stood and with Thedas shouted “No!” as one against evil, remains so potent that Skyhold itself becomes a problem: too symbolic to destroy, too dangerous to leave untended.

And Sutherland’s company, are called in because they understand what Skyhold meant. They are described as “small enough to disappear” if things go wrong. And yet, they still go because they believed in what the Inquisition stood for, and in what the Inquisitor once gave them: purpose

4. They Were Good

This is perhaps the quietest consensus. These stories - by tone, memory, structure - don't seem to allow for an Inquisitor who was cruel or careless. No one speaks of them with bitterness or fear. The people who knew them speak with conviction, reverence, or quiet belief. Therefore the stories assume a certain kind of Inquisitor: decisive, compassionate, charismatic, inspiring and influential. They are the kind of leader whose agents are still willing to risk everything to stop Solas' destruction of the world.

Why would people continue to willingly follow a tyrant once the organization has been disbanded and their authority formally revoked? In Veilguard, Elgar’nan commands loyalty through fear, manipulation, and 'promises'. His followers are bound by illusion and threat. But the Inquisitor’s allies are different. They follow because they believe.

That kind of enduring loyalty reveals a leader character who is rooted in shared purpose, moral clarity, and integrity. The Inquisitor leads by example, not decree and their strength is revealed through these stories in that others are still following them, even when they’re no longer in power. It’s a quieter, steadier kind of authority, one that is still consistent in Veilguard - especially one that shines through in the atonement ending.

At least, that's my interpretation.

If I want an army of monster hunters, which faction would suit best?

Deathwatch are a kind of option. They quite literally have lore (and rules) for special kinds of ammunition to deal with different kinds of "monster" and do the whole drawing from The Best of The Best of The Best thing.

You could also do Knights going on actual quests to fistfight giant monsters and daemons and stuff. If you don't want them to be Imperial, you could even have them as freeblades who are their own neutral knightly order that quite literally travels around looking for giant horrors to throw down with. You could also flavour the pilots as being extra as fuck about it, because the throne mechanicum does that to a person.

If you want to go fun levels of purist, there are the Beast Snagga Boyz. They are ALL about fighting/hunting monsters from across the galaxy (including titans, because Orks are flexible) and then turning them into trophies or pets, depending. Very traditionalist, not fans of technology, yet still manage to fuck shit up.

I think these three are the easiest choices, though (personally) I feel the Freeblade and Snagga options are far, far more fun than the Deathwatch. Deathwatch is there if you really like Space Marines, though.

[yesterdayserror]

After just over a month of work I finally finished my Knight Dominus, I'm immensely proud of this and I'll consider it my greatest work on a model for some time. Close-ups of the guardsman + some lore under the cut:

The Skyblaze, a freeblade Knight Dominus, is a mysterious entity appearing and disappearing at a moment's notice. But to the Ben Nevisan 13th, a regiment with a reputation for their experience against the Great Enemy who constantly assail their home, they know it as one thing: Their Guardian.

Appearing when they are in their greatest need, The Skyblaze stands forth as both rally point and bastion for the 13th, enabling them to continue fighting well beyond what they would have been able to otherwise.

No one knows who pilots this mysterious protector, or why it defends the 13th of Ben Nevis so fiercely. But the strangest thing about this particular knight is that even if it falls in battle, it soon appears anew, with only a few small scars on it's carapace whenever the 13th needs their guardian once more.

(And now for some IRL lore: I bought this for a random paint challenge at my local warhammer store and went a bit nuts over it lmao, it's probably the most fun I've ever had working on a warhammer model. If I ever do a guard army I am absolutely using this paint scheme as this was really fun to do as well)
