All the same, I'll remember that line next time I hit on a widow. Since it obviously works for such a renowned lady's man such as yourself, it would have to work great for me too...

I think I've been burned. Maybe I should stop making trouble for myself. Taunting the assassin, Petrosjko, and considering putting Typhonus's honey through a Malleus investigation. Who needs enemies?

Hey, you were the one who said that a character death wasn't official unless it ended with 'he died'. And you're free to have his boots (or rather, the small cloud of ash floating around in the station's ventilation system that used to be his boots).

It was surprisingly easy. Word association and a few pieces of mutilated Latin (word association with High Gothic for in-universe consistancy) and it all makes sense.

It was... interesting. What is 'glossia', exactly?Imperial Overlord wrote:What do people think of my glossia conversation?

Inquisitorial code language. Generally each inquisitor makes one up for his team's use. Featured in the Eisenhorn novels. This is my character's variant.

Ah, I see. I was wondering if it was another Imperial language or something, like High Gothic.

They usually use pseudo-Latin for High Gothic. Adeptus Astartes, Schol Psychia, Officio Assassinorium, Ecclesiarchy, etcetera, etcetera are all High Gothic.

While similar things are in use across the Imperium, I'm fairly certain the term glossia is only used by that heretic Eisenhorn.

You're right. Lots of inquisitors have similar code languages and Eisenhorn named his Glossia. Maybe I'll change the name when I can think of a good alternative. There is always my spine crushingly heavy thesaurus.

I have a few questions:
1, if the Psycannon is the Malleus trademark and the Power Armour is the Hereticus trademark, what's the Xenos trademark?
2, do Interrogators always become the same Ordo as their 'tutors'?
3, naming contest! What's a good name for 2 Brute-like characters and one Vindicare Assassain?

The flamer is the Hereticus Trademark. And I'd say it varies for the Xenos.Pcm979 wrote:I have a few questions:

No. Hell, the Ordos aren't even offical, with the exception of the Malleus. You can be in none, one or many.
2, do Interrogators always become the same Ordo as their 'tutors'?

So how many Iron Men have you disabled in melee combat then?Imperial Overlord wrote:consequence may talk a big game and be all "Equilibrium" Brit badass cool, but when it comes down to it, how many chaos marines has he greased? That's right: zero. So much for the mighty Officio Assassinatum.
Just kidding. Please don't hurt me.
Besides, if 2.4 Imperial Guardsman can kill a Chaos marine without losses, how hard can it be?
