Daemon Hunters

*"The creatures of the Warp have but one trait with which you need concern yourself - their undying contempt for the Emperor. It is your task to quell the rebellion they preach, and the only sure way is to destroy them utterly."*
*White Dwarf 114 (UK), Grey Knight Terminator Squads by Rick Priestley and Paul Murphy*

## Race Overview

The Ordo Malleus of the Emperor's Holy Inquisition battles against 'The Threat Beyond', in other words, the daemons of Chaos. There could be considered two branches of this organization, one with the mortal Inquisitors and their retinues, and the proper Ordo Militant, the Grey Knights. The Inquisitors are heavily policed within their own ranks to look for any signs of corruption as mortals are especially vulnerable to the whispers of the Warp. The Grey Knights are specially trained and equipped Astartes for the purpose of hunting daemons.

## Playstyle

### Sub-Factions of the Ordo Malleus

#### Inquisition Daemonhunters

Following the path of the Inquisition will has a focus on the mortal followers of the Emperor. You will get access to Stormtroopers and other human troops and some unique vehicles. In Tier 2 you have the option to also acquire aid from the Grey Knights. However, there is a sub path that will have them reject you, if you take the temptation.

#### Inquisition Radicals

If you decide to follow a more radical path, you can force the powers of Chaos itself against it, giving you access to additional special units, including the possessed Daemonhost. To create a Daemonhost, first recruit an Oblationist Acolyte, then have your Inquisitor Lord perform the ritual. This will grant you a Lesser or Greater Daemonhost, a powerful unit under your control. Owning a Daemonhost of any kind will cause any existing Grey Knights in your army to abandon you, and be unable to be trained. Though not a Radical herself, Inquisitor Adrastia will be available to recruit once you've created a Daemonhost so she can ensure your Inquisitors do not stray into the path of Chaos. Be warned, there is a chance, however small, that your Daemonhost will be Rogue, and will fight against you. Better to banish (delete) it before it causes problems.

#### Grey Knights

The Marines of the 666th Chapter Astartes are specialized and equipped specifically with the hunting of daemons and their followers. Their advanced armor, weapons and training make them very powerful, at the price of being more expensive than standard Space Marines.

They get Tier IV, Ultimate Forces, at the Grey Knights' Teleporter, for the Inquisition or the Teleportarium Orbitalis for the Grey Knights, but only after Heavy Duty Teleporters is researched.
