Inquisitor Versus Genestealer Rogue Trader Oldhammer

Crimson Inquisitor's Charge: Oldhammer Chaos of Genestealer Cults and Titans
Clash in the Grimdark Future

The cult fights not for territory or survival, but for the imminent arrival of their star-born gods—the Tyranids. Their doctrine is a parasitic religion, promising salvation through infection and subjugation.

Inquisitors in the Rogue Trader era were larger-than-life, judge-jury-executioners unbound by rank or protocol. The one depicted here is clad in crimson Terminator armor, likely from the Ordo Xenos, wielding a storm bolter and
