  Inquisition (Warhammer 40,000) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The foundation of the Inquisition is shrouded in mystery, although it is believed that the organisation came into being either during or directly after the Horus Heresy.
The Inquisition was believed to have been created by the Emperor of Mankind shortly before his internment within the Golden Throne.
In early editions of Warhammer 40,000, The Inquisition was a single entity with a single secret offshoot, the Ordo Malleus.

 The Inquisition (II) - Warhammer Alliance
The legends and rumours surrounding the Inquisition has survived to this day, and there is a mass of information available on it and its works, including transcripts from the trials and journals of the Inquisitors, for those who are interested in the historical fact (and sometimes fiction) of the matter.
The Inquisition in the Empire finds itself in a position to be called upon at times to perform tasks for the local watch guards and barons, hunting out corruption, and protecting the innocent from the enemy within as well as without.
This lends a facet to the Inquisition as a power to be reckoned with, a player in the world of politics and perhaps most importantly, a force which is allowed to not always have to be chasing the heretics, but may have darker and more sinister goals of power.

 GW Online : Warhammer 40,000 : Space Marines : Versus the Inquisition
Indeed, the Black Templars are of particular concern to the Inquisition, with the number of Templars far in excess of those prescribed by the Codex Astartes.
84-85 of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook are in effect: Deep Strike and Infiltrate.
If the Inquisition destroys 50% of the Black Templars' numbers of units (rounding up), the Black Templars will attack with the rest of their forces.

 Previews: Warhammer Online
From the outset, Warhammer Online was conceived as a game that would plunge its players into a life of battle and adventure within a grim and gritty realisation of the Warhammer World.
As a result, the landscape for the first episode of Warhammer Online is the area of the Empire between the River Reik and the Grey Mountains, stretching from Marienburg in the north to the foothills of the Black Mountains in the south.
In keeping with the Warhammer background certain races will indeed have special kinds of aptitudes Dwarf engineers and Halfling cooks, etc. - but on the whole this skill-based approach provides us with a means to enable our players to shape their own destinies rather than forcing them down certain pre-determined paths.

 Review - Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War // PC /// Eurogamer
Both for newcomers and the initiated, I think it's worth taking a few moments to reiterate what the Warhammer 40,000 universe is all about.
A vast Inquisition gathers these frightening minds, between performing purges across human space, persecuting and executing untold billions, with rebel planets following rival creeds regularly suffering sterilisation bombardments from space.
Though whether "charm" really is the right word where by "charm" you mean "the visceral thrill when you see an Ork advance rent asunder by giant pincers" is a matter I leave to you.

 Inquisition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inquisition (capitalized I) is broadly used, to refer to things related to judgment of heresy by the Catholic Church.
The Goa Inquisition was the office of the Inquisition acting in the Indian city of Goa and the rest of the Portuguese empire in Asia.
This is particularly valuable because much of the history available in English of the Inquisition was written in the 19th century by Protestants interested in documenting the dangers of Catholicism or Catholic apologists demonstrating that the Inquisition had been an entirely reasonable judicial body without flaws.

 Warrior Brood (Warhammer 40,000)
The only down side I found in the book was that it did follow the basic 40K "formula" in that you picked out the two or three characters you think will survive in the first chapters and then grade yourself in how accurate you were at the end of the book.
The Inquisition is typically shown as the double dealers they are while the Space Marines are given their fair share of ability, honor and character.
I recently fell into the Warhammer 40k universe, and fell in love with the Tyranids.

 Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - GameCritics.com
Fans of Warhammer 40K will probably be interested to see their favorite troops and vehicles in action, but be warned: this is not a Warhammer 40K game—this is a Real Time Strategy game set in the Warhammer 40K universe.
The game's plot concerns the attempts of the Imperium (basically the Spanish Inquisition in space) to hold back the onslaught of the Orks (green monsters that talk like caricatures of '80s British Punks), while the forces of Chaos scheme behind the scenes.
The history of Warhammer 40K is so rich, detailed, and videogame-ready that I'm sure the developers loved the wealth of resources available; it'salmost as if the majority of the game's preproduction work had just been handed to them.

I'd really reconsider the Inquisition portion of your idea, at least as a focus.
It's not about playing out battles or inquisitions, more about the internal conflict within the church's inquisitorial arm.
I've read the 4rth (or maybe it was 5th) edition rule book and the setting information seemed to be pretty slim given the galaxy spanning setting.

A collection of the three most difficult and atmospheric Warhammer 40,000 (or, `40k') novels, the Inquisition War series echoes the creative energy of the original 1987 setting.
The Inquisition War series is just as much about this setting as it is the main characters, weaving a hypnotic tale of 40k's unique brand of facism, warfare, and absurdity.
Overall, this is a series as challenging as it is rewarding for fans of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, or not.

For those not in the know, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay has a system where you start in one career, collect all the abilities the career grants (known collectively as ‘advances’) and then move onto another career and work towards completing that one.
While this is fine for the gritty medieval world of Warhammer, this sort of social progress doesn’t really work for 40k.
Your character may not be aware of the factions to start with, but as the game goes on, you will be more and more affected by your Inquisitor and his beliefs.
