Kaspar von Velten reined in his bay gelding and stared up at the great walled city of Kislev, unwinding a woollen scarf from around his face. Autumn was barely a month old, yet the day was bracingly chill and his breath misted in the air before him. He knew that winter came early in Kislev and it wouldn’t be long before the hillside the capital sprawled across was locked in its icy grip. A fine, wind-blown rain drizzled from the sullen sky and Kaspar could well understand the dislike of this country’s climate that Ambassador Teugenheim had expressed in his letters. His deep-set blue eyes had lost none of the brightness of youth, but were set in an expression of tense anticipation, his skin tanned and leather-tough from years of campaigning across the Old World. Beneath his wide brimmed hat, he wore his thinning silver hair close cropped, his beard similarly neat and trimmed. A faded tattoo from his youthful days in the ranks snaked its way from behind his left ear and down his neck. What you must know ! The Inquisition is a secretive body, founded in the earliest days of the Imperium, to defend humanity against the alien, the witch and the heretic. Such is the power and authority wielded by an Inquisitor; he can call upon the services of every branch of the Imperium's armed forces, even the mighty Space Marines should the threat be great enough. Each Inquisitor is an exceptional individual with access to their own specialist troops. A Daemonhunter army can be bolstered by the awesome Grey Knights. Surpassing even their brother Space Marines in skill and ability and armed with psychically charged force weapons and an unshakable faith in the Emperor, there is no more daunting foe for a daemon to face.If you want to command an interesting and diverse army, that has the entire military might of the Imperium at its disposal then the forces of the Daemonhunters are for you. |
