I have no idea if you're into warhammer fantasy as well as 40k but I have been going insane over Felix Jaeger and have no one to fangirl over.
Also, thoughts on Gregor Eisenhorn?
I will admit, I've glanced at OG!Warhammer somewhat but not to the extent as 40k.
Also, nice pants, Felix. You and your companion Gotrek are giving Legolas and Gimli lmao.
Eisenhorn is an interesting character to me. I think his and Fidus Kryptman's exploits are integral to understanding just how much the Imperium's strict fanaticism (and hypocrisy) tends to fuck itself over big time. I also love how their ends-justify-the-means approach to eliminating threats illustrates how nuanced and divided the Inquisition really is under all the black-and-white bullshit.
One wonders how Big Daddy E would've felt about the lengths they went to protect the Imperium.

The problem with Fathers.
Leonardo Eissenhorn had been imprisoned his whole life it seemed, first by his parents, Being the only son of a Inquisitor truly wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, one had to be careful of kidnappers and assassins and Wrap knows what else, then ironically, by the Inquisition, Age twelve he was whisked away to a black ship for the unforgivable sin of being a psyker, He knew he owed his very life to his name, all though being stuck in a ship for the rest of his life was hardly any better than death, and now, he was hidden away by his parents once again, confined to the Eissenhorn estate to wander the grounds for hours on end, just as he was doing now.
He sensed his Father, Gregor, before he heard him, felt his presence against his skin like the patter of light rain, cold against his flesh.
“Leo.”
Months gone, and he returned expecting open arms, typical of him, Always leaving and coming home as if no time had passed.
“Inquisitor.”
A sigh, and Gregor stood next to his only son, watching the lake in front of them, the water was calm but there was a storm radiating off the younger man, anger and hatred, Gregor couldn’t blame him, The boy hated that his Father had allowed him and his sister, Calpernia to be dragged away to the black ship in the first place, He couldn’t blame him, he still hated himself for that too.
“Your sister told me I’d find you out here.”
Silence.
“Leo..You can’t ignore me for the foreseeable future.”
“Can I not?” Leonardo turned to face his Father, his own eyes stared back, only they were more tired. “You are hardly here to ignore.”
“And for that I apologize, but you know how my job-”
“Is more important, Yes, I know.”
“Don’t put words in my mouth.”
Leonardo stared at the lake’s placid surface, ripples began to spread out from the point where he starred.
“Nothing is more important to me than you or your sisters.”
The water jumped into the air as if from a geyser and Leonardo turned to Gregor, how dare he lie?
“Don’t lie to me, I’m not one of your subordinates.” His voice was trembling with barely contained anger “Or is that how you see me? A filthy witch to be looked down upon?”
“You forget that you inherited your abilities from me.”
He was calm, so fucking calm, his face a stone mask as always.
“You passed on a curse you mean..” Leonardo turned back to the water and calmed himself, the water calmed as did his rage “And now here I am, a dog in a cage.”
“Get a grip Leonardo.”
The Inquisitor rubbed a hand through his hair.
“You are hardly rotting away in a cellar, look at where you are.”
He was right, damn his eyes to the void, he was correct.
“Cali doesn’t mope around feeling sorry for herself, take a leaf from her book.”
“Cali is an idiot.” Leonardo shrugged “She spends her days painting and playing piano…”
He fixed his eyes once again on his Father
“Singing your praises.”
“I know you hate me, Leo.”
His Father extended a hand, and hesitated for a moment before placing it on his shoulder
“I spent a decade hating myself for allowing you and your sister to be taken away, I woke up every morning wishing I had done something and went to bed thinking of the pair of you.” His eyes smiled, his face was incapable of doing so, Leonardo felt warmth coming from his palm “I wanted, and still do want, my son back.”
Leonardo wanted to punch him, to scream in his face, to do something to show him that he wasn’t forgiven, that he’d never be.
But that wasn’t true, so instead he allowed himself to become that scared little boy again, the one who would sit at night in his cell waiting for his Father to come rescue him, and he hugged his Father in a tight embrace.
Gregor Eissenhorn hugged his son back, and pretended not to notice the sobs that followed.

Top 5 40k virginity losers
Garviel Loken and Euphrati Keeler (have fucked eachother, literally and figuratively)
Argel Tal and Cyrene Valantion (she peggs him every two to three days during a blood moon)
Ciaphas Cain and Amberly Vail (he doesn't know what's a clit and she doesn't know what's a shaft - they boink regularly)
Shadowsun and Kor'sarro Khan (they fuck eachother only drunk; Kor'sarro doesn't like her xeno features and Shadowsun finds his humanly traits disturbing - they still make out like their life depends on it)
Gregor Eisenhorn and Alizebeth Bequin (if they could be together somehow, they would have the most standard heterosexual sex, with no kinks, no fetishes, no nothing - they fuck, sometimes cuddle, share a kiss and leave)
LAUGHING at the slander on display here but I agree with it XD

Random shower thought. As Henry Cavill has now signed on for Amazon Prime’s Warhammer 40,000 series some people are wondering if he’s gonna play an iconic character from the Universe (Gregor Eisenhorn, Marneus Calgar, or maybe Captain Titus). Honestly I think it would be hilarious and better if he just plays a random Imperial Guard infantrymen, as no one would expect that.
Or make him play the most famous Inquisitor of the Imperium of Mankind to have ever lived, Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Clouseau (BTW he is a real character from 40k lore).

If you're taking recommendations for Warhammer novels, I strongly recommend both the Eisenhorn trilogy and the Gaunt's Ghost series. Eisenhorn is about the Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn, and his slow descent into more and more radical measures to protect the Imperium. Gaunt's Ghost meanwhile is Ciaphas Cain's darker cousin, depicting Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt his regiment, the Tanith First-and-Only, in their experiences as a part of crusade to liberate the Sabbat Worlds. Dan Abnett is a master at depicting the grimdarkness of the 40k universe, as well as having some of the more interesting depictions of Chaos, and his stories are one of the things that really got me interested in the 40k setting as a whole.
I've heard that but see my friend I have one issue:
I like fun. Gotrek and Felix gives me fun, so does Ciaphas Cain. in 40K.
The world I live in is already grimdark enough. I want heroes.
But I thank you for your recommendations...truly!

Lord Guilliman I’m sure you don’t have a flattering opinion of His Imperial Majesty’s Holy Inquisition, but what of particularly heroic and noble Inquisitors such as Gregor Eisenhorn and his protégé Gideon Ravenor?
"I have read of both of them.... On is excumatis tratoris and the other is in an enforced retirement because her will not chase down his mentor."
"They both skirted heresy, one fell and the other is barred from active service because of it."
