When Inquisitor was written, the rules themselves were not bound to a specific scale. Distances within the rulebook were expressed in ‘yards’, and it was suggested that a yard should equal an inch. This fact makes Inquisitor easy to scale up or down – you could theoretically run a life-size game of Inquisitor if you were insane enough.

Since Inquisitor was first released, a sizeable minority of players have played the game using 28mm models, typically (and understandably) from the various Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40,000 ranges. In these games, a ‘yard’ is typically counted as either a centimetre or half an inch. This practice has been dubbed “INQ28”.

I’ve been a fan of Inquisitor since it first came out, and remember my brother (who worked in a Games Workshop store at the time) building a number of the models for the store campaign. Since July 2009, I have been running an online blog for INQ28, and have been known on various forum as a bit of an ‘INQ28 afficionado’, a champion of the practice.

What I’ve sought to do with my blog and my efforts on various websites is to raise the reputation of INQ28 and show its power as a valuable and interesting source of ideas and inspiration.
