Witch Hunters
Known as the Ordo Hereticus, the Witch Hunters are a branch of the Inquisition dedicated and specialized in hunting down and destroying witches, heretics, and mutants in the name of the Empra but will also kill just about anyone who's an enemy of the Imperium if confronted. Commonly fields Sisters of Battle or Inquisitorial Storm Troopers, though a Witch Hunter Inquisitor Lord may call on the Imperial Guard and/or Space Marines to assist them in battle.
All female Sisters of Battle players rage hard when you call SoBs 'Witch Hunters' or imply that they are the same group.
They have a WFB equivalent. Also called, unsurprisingly, Witch Hunters. They get bitchin' pimp hats and the only reliable guns in the world.
FUCK YEAH!
Notable Members of the Ordos Hereticus
Lord Inquisitor Fyodor Karamazov
Lazy bastard. Sits on a massive, dreadnought-esque chair and merely points to were the servitor should aim his triple-linked multi-melta. He's a great believer in Just. As. Planned. but the Empy version. He's known in WH40K fluff for being the only inquisitor, and probably the only person in the entire Imperium, in history to give the Ecclesiarchy the big middle finger and get away with it. Jokingly called Lord Krazypantsoff by several immature (and hilarious) users of /tg/. He's also bald due to an anti-aging cream gone wrong - all the workers for the company (called Dove) were subsequently purged and crucified.
He's named after Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and his famous book The Brothers Karamazov - which is known for its chapter The Grand Inquisitor, and was written in an oppressive, religion-obsessed feudal empire.
Witch Hunter Tyrus
This guy is so badass that all the motherflippin' ladies get PURGED when he enters the room. He was taken under the care of an inquisitor as a child after a Daemon Prince ripped one of his ears and eyes out for fun before razing the rest of his village. Years later, the same Daemon Prince killed his mentor in battle but Tyrus was able to banish the bastard back to the warp again. His favorite method for finding HERESY is forcing the accused to consume a jug of holy water. If they choke then they are considered heretic and crucified, shot, burned, then he lets a blind butcher loose on them, then they get shot again.
Plus he loathes psykers, even the ones in the Inquisition. So don't ask him if he wants to see your new magic card trick.
