Perhaps more than any other army to date, the new Witch Hunters army is the embodiment of the dark feel of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The foreboding imagery in Codex: Witch Hunters is astounding in its horrific detail. The background text tells the sorry tale of collective fanaticism run amok, which is a behaviour that we all know too well. The new models are dramatic – the Arco-Flagellants, for example, are enough to make you wince on behalf of the tortured souls. All told, the Witch Hunters make it easy to see why it is that in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war!

With this material as a backdrop, it's hard not to come up with a scenario that lets you explore the paranoid world of the Witch Hunter. We, of course, could not resist the opportunity and have created this scenario and associated modeling project for your Inquisitorial pleasure. This particular scenario lets you decide the fate of a Witch Hunter detainee on his way to being judged by the ever-merciful Ministorum. However, this scenario is mainly here to give you inspiration for your own scenarios and projects.

Gentlemen, light your Flamers!
