I was planning for him to climb ontop and mow things down with his Autocannon. Apparently Ogryns are mainly used to using the open topped vehicles like the Taurus, because they all naturally developed Claustrophobia, which is why they also don't ride in Valkyries.

Secondly, Ogryns are larger than Space Marines, and thirdly, Valkyries can carry Space Marines, one of the missions in the game Space Marine, is controlling Titus with a Heavy Bolter being the surrogate gunner on a Valkyrie.

I was planning on Yeheved commandeering a Tauros after getting separated from her men. Fancy giving her a lift?

I meant "throw away" as in, story wise, they have little baring on the plot as they get separated.

I was thinking, since, naturally, Inquisitors never go anywhere just by themselves. I was wondering what kind of throw-away peons to be following her around that she's going to get separated from, which would be better?:

1) Tempestus Scions (The Inquisitors best friend)
2) Mordian Stormtroopers (Since she primarily works in the Mordian sector)
3) Sisters of Battle (Since they are the warriors of her Ordo. Because the Deathwatch are the warriors of the Ordo Xenos, Grey Knights are the warriors of the Ordo Malleus and Sisters are the warriors of the Ordo Hereticus)

Would you allow the custom races? At my local games shop, we all use Alien races instead of fantasy ones. I am a Tetramand Barbarian.

Added her bodyguard. I made him a Minotaur, which is essentially the Beastmen equivalent of an Ogryn. I also gave Yoheved a Cyber Familiar, I was inspired by the picture in the top post.

A Light in the Grimdark, A WH40k Roleplay

Inquisitor Yoheved

Name: Yoheved Mariana

Faction: Inquisition

Sub Faction: Ordo Hereticus

Sex: Female

Age: 71

Rank: Inquisitor

Specialty: Psyker/Ranged

Equipment:

Sororitas-pattern Power Armour
Daemon Blade
Dark Eldar Blast Pistol
Bones in right arm replaced with robotics
Gold plated Rosarius
Archemedes Her cyber familiar.

Psyker: Yes, Witch Hunter

Personality: As with most Inqusitors, to others, she is cold, calculating and completely without mercy, it is her duty as an Inquisitor in order men to their deaths, so she tends to try and not form attachments, so that she doesn't feel bad when she gives them the order to die so that she may live. She is open only to her bodyguard, who she knows will only thank her for giving such an order.

History: Much like many Inquisitors, she was born on Terra. She was born with a solid gold spoon in her mouth, the daughter of a noble family. She never knew sadness, just happiness under the protection of the Emperor... Until the Astra Telepathica picked up her strong Psyker potential, after that, she knew only death, destruction and holy fire in the name of the Emperor. Yoheved, being from a noble house was trained as an Inquisitor, a Witch-Hunter.

Her first missions were simply to sniff out small chaos cults in the Mordian sector... She earned her name as an Inquisitor when she was swept up in the 13th Black Crusade when her ship stopped at one of the Blackstone Fortress' to resupply. She went one on one with a Slaaneshi Sorcerer and killed him, taking his sword to present to her superior, Lord Inquisitor Viqtor Remly, who studied Daemonic and Xeno weapons. Remly allowed her to keep it as it was a powerful weapon, as well as gifting her a Xeno weapon of great power, a Blast Pistol from a Dark Eldar that he had recently interrogated. It was a controversial decision for her, but he reminded her that, although heretical, weapons of Daemon origin were incredibly strong, and turning the ruinous powers against themselves would go along way to achieving the Emperors ultimate goal for Humanity. She had been investigating reports of a Tzeenchian cult on Kalvarstad when the cataclysm struck, now, as a member of the Ordo Hereticus, she's taking charge of the situation.

Appearance:

Taurtacus the Iron Wall

Name: Taurtacus the Iron Wall

Faction: Inquisition

Sub Faction: Inquisitorial retinue Retinue

Sex: Male

Age: 492

Rank: Chief Bodyguard

Specialty: Melee combat

Equipment:

Master-Crafted "Minos-Pattern Thunder Axe"
Slabshield
Autocannon (Primarily held on his back and mostly for show. he weilds it underslung on the same arm he would weild his Thunder Axe. He is not a very good shot.)
Melta Bombs
Bone'Ead Upgrades

Psyker: No

Personality: Honour, Duty, Hatred of Chaos, Xenos and Mutants. These are the things that he preached during his tenure as the chief warmaster of the Emperor's Flock. He believed that all great warriors were born into suffering, which is why the Beastmen existed. To be villified by their allies, to force them to become powerful enough to survive or die for being too weak, that they would be rewarded for their service when they reached their full potential. Working for an Inquisitor, a being that speaks as the Emperors voice, it is an honour which knows no bounds. Whenever he fails in his duty to protect her, whenever she is forced to draw her accursed blade to defend herself because he was unable to, he tries to fall on his own axe... But she doesn't allow him to do so. Truly, the Emperor has blessed him for his acceptance of human hatred.

History: Large... Very large... He is the former head of a Warband of Emperor worshipping Beastmen that swept across the Cypra Mundi sector, primarily hunting Chaos cults. The Warband caught the eye of Inquisitor Yoheved when they saved her from a khornate cult that had separated her from her men and was hunting her across a ruined hive block. The Taurtacus and his men swept in like a herd of stampeding cattle through a field, the ferocity that Khorne gave his worshippers was nothing compared to the holy fervor that the Emperor inspired in the Abhumans. The battle came to ahead when, in order to secure the death of the inquisitor, the leader of the cult offered his life to Khorne in return for demonic power, transforming him into a Great Daemon. The Daemon clashed with Taurtacus before the Beastman emerged victorious, he threw its severed head at her feet and asked for her to bless his work for the Emperor. Not only did she bless the misshapen monster for his work, but Yoheved hired them to work for her. Being her secret strikeforce and employing Taurtacus as her bodyguard. Their ship employed a Stealth Field Generator that they had raided from a Tau vessel. Allowing them to shadow her vessel undetected, but always ready to strike.

Taurtacus underwent multiple surgery's to make him the finest servant he could be. Even so far as to have the Bone'Ead Implants usually reserved for Ogryns to help him think faster and react quicker in combat. She even had the Techpriests of Mars create a brand new weapon fitting for the servant of an Inquisitor, an Axe with the power of a Thunder Hammer. He has saved her life and protected her on more occasions than either of them can remember. That's not to say things have never overcome him, he is rather slow in combat, so fast enemies such as Eldar and Daemonettes have quickly passed him to get to the Inquisitor, but he is still the main reason that she is still alive.

Well. i built them to complement each other, seeing as how Lorrian has no ranged weaponry (He has a Storm bolter, but they have far too much recoil to be useful at range. They're only good on the charge, or up close and personal.)

And definitely not interested in a Flagellant as they have no personality... Literally, any form of thought that isn't "Do as the master says" is stripped from them.

Would I be allowed an Ogryn or Doombull? Essentially, i'm looking for a Nappa to her Vegeta. The big, hulking thing to follow her around and do as she says, have insane levels of strength in melee combat but little else to offer. anything that makes it past her brute will severely underestimate her, thinking that she is little more than a little girl sitting behind the wall of muscle. That's when she turns them into a substance resembling meaty confetti using her mind.
