The Witch Hunters of the Ordo Hereticus are perhaps the most sinister of all Inquisitors as the threats they must face lurk not in the depths of space or the Warp, but among the everyday citizenry of the Imperium: the witch, the mutant, the heretic, and the fallen cleric. Such abominations are an affront to the Emperor and together with their Chamber Militant, the Sisters of Battle, the Witch Hunters purge evil from the worlds of Man with the cleansing fire of purity.

An Inquisitor has at his disposal every member of the Imperium and will not hesitate to commandeer local troops at a moment's notice. Such is the influence of the Inquisitor that he can even call upon the Space Marines of the Adeptus Astartes, leading a force of the Imperium's finest warriors against Humanity's foul enemies, wherever they appear.

When building a Warhammer 40,000 army, the best place to begin is its respective Codex. These books are indispensable, not only providing you with the complete rules and army lists for your army, but they also contain guides to painting, assembling, and selecting your army – plus, you'll read the background story that you can find nowhere else.
