Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re- learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods. Warhammer 4. 0,0.
In its beginning it drew heavily on GW's previous Warhammer Fantasy game, and was essentially . It is currently in its eighth edition. More than anything else, 4. K stands out from other tabletop wargames because of its extremedarkness. Set roughly thirty- eight thousand years in the future, the most basic summation of the game's plot is that our galaxy has been twisted into a unfathomable hell where an eternal, impossibly vast conflict occurs between several absurdly powerful genocidal, xenocidal, and (in at least one case) omnicidal factions, with every single weapon, ideology, and creative piece of nastiness imaginableturned.

Imperium of Man, is a paranoid, fascisttheocratic state which spans the galaxy but is struggling mightily to maintain its grip on its territory. Its messiah was laid low by his most beloved son and has been locked up on life support for more than ten millennia, physically dead yet psychically conscious. The incomprehensibly vast Ecclesiarchycommits horrible atrocities in his name (but against his philosophy) on an almost- daily basis. The Space Marines, capricious, fanatical, genetically engineered. Knight Templar. Super Soldiers and the Sisters of Battle, equally fanatical, pyromaniacalbattle nuns serve as the Imperium's special forces, while the Imperial Guard, its trillions- strong regular army, takes disregard for human life to new and interesting extremes.

A futuristic Inquisition ruthlessly hunts down anyone with even the slightest taint of the heretic, the mutant, or the alien, even going as far as destroying entire planets, just to be sure. Science and technology have scarcely progressed for ten thousand years, partly because they are treated with fear, ignorance and magical superstition, and partly because the Adeptus Mechanicus, the secretive, derangedmachine cult that maintains the Imperium's technological base, by and large sees innovation as blasphemy against the wisdom of the ancients.

The Warp, the Imperium's only means of Faster- Than- Light Travel, carries with it a good chance of being ripped apart by daemons in more ways than one, and the souls of psychic humans are consumed in the thousands per day to not only power the Astronomican, the psychic navigation aid used to negotiate Warpspace, but to fuel the Emperor's life support mechanism. Worse still, as bad as the Imperium is, all the other major factions are just as bad, if not far worse. The Eldar, an ancient, mysterious and manipulative race hovering near extinction, contrive wars that see billions from other species dead so that merethousands of their own may survive, while their depraved cousins, the Dark Eldar, happily perpetuatemass slaughter and Cold- Blooded Torture, both trying to stave off the hellish afterlife looming over their entire species. The Tyranids, a mysterious, ever- hungeringextra- galactic race guided by a malevolent but highly intelligent.
Hive Mind, are rampaging across the galaxy, consuming planets'biospheres to evolve and become stronger. The Necrons, The Remnant of an ancient alien civilization transformed into vast legions of incredibly advanced, undying, living metal warriors, are awakening after millions of years of slumber to reclaim a galaxy they see as rightfully theirs and scour away the taint of organic life. The Orks, a genetically- engineered warrior species who infest every corner of the galaxy, cheerfully kill anything and anyone they come across — including each other, if nothing better presents itself — because it's literally hard- wired into their genetic code to do so.. The T'au, a comparatively small and young race with an insurgent cross- species empire on the galaxy's fringe, readily seek new allies through diplomacy, but are reputed to absorb those who refuse through orbital bombardment, concentration camps and possibly mindcontrol, all to furthertheir philosophy of the . Worst of all is the forces of Chaos, which lives and thrives in the Warp, is sustained by the emotions of living beings, corrupts all it touches, is the root cause of much of the setting's darkness and is known for ripping holes in reality through which countless Chaos Daemons and Chaos. Space. Marines periodically emerge to attempt to bring the universe to further ruin, the most recent of which now stretches across the entire galaxy and has split the Imperium in two. The essential tools for gameplay, aside from the models, are: the main rulebook; indexes featuring the stats and rules for the models in each factionnote actual codexes are assumed to be coming in the future; a tape measure, as everything is measured in inches; objective cards and markers which are used in some game variants; and lots of six- sided dice (D6s)note seriously..
You can pick these up separately, but for each edition of the rules GW has provided a starter kit allowing new players to get started immediately. The current starter kit is Dark Imperium, containing enough miniatures to field two small armies, the main rulebook and a separate list of the core rules, special rules pertaining to the armies in the kit, a 1. The 8th edition rules allow players to build their armies either as Open Play (basically bring whatever you want), Narrative (recreating historical battles from the fluff or themed campaigns), or Match Play (building armies along an organized structure with specific numbers of certain model categories, determined by a Force Organization Chart). There are six default FOCs, each with a set number of HQ and Troops slots as base requirements and varying numbers of slots for other model types. Match Play armies also get bonuses that the other play styles do not, and give the player certain amounts of Command Points which can be used during the game in various ways.
For each army, the models available in each category have both a Power rating and a base point value relative to their worth in gameplay, which covers the # of models and their default weapons and armor. The Power rating is generally geared toward Open and Narrative games while the points values are geared toward Match Play. The rules give the player specific options to change the weapons, armor, and other bonuses depending on the category and model or unit in question, and to add models to certain units. Power ratings will generally only increase if models are added to units while points values will often increase with both additional models and weapon changes. Players assemble their armies to meet an agreed- upon total Power rating or number of points per army prior to play, with the upper limits usually determined by the type of game being played.
Match Play games can fall in the 1. Power rating of 5. Before the game begins, dice are rolled to determine the Mission for the gamenote killing everyone, capturing objectives, etc., how the battlefield will be divided between the armiesnote where the armies can be deployed, how many terrain pieces are to be used, etc., various challenges and model abilitiesnote Warlord Traits and Psychic Powers, for example that influence gameplay, and who gets to begin deploying their army first. There are twelve Missions in the core rulebook, six . These have a general theme like the Eternal War missions but also use Tactical Objectives which give specific tasks that the player can attempt to accomplish during each turn. The first player to finish deploying his army gets to choose whether or not to start the first turn; if he does, the second player has a chance to roll to go first, or .
Inquisition - Encyclopedia Volume - Catholic Encyclopedia (1) Though the Apostles were deeply imbued with the conviction that they must transmit the deposit of the Faith to posterity undefiled, and that any teaching at variance with their own, even if proclaimed by an angel of Heaven, would be a culpable offense, yet St. Paul did not, in the case of the heretics Alexander and Hymeneus, go back to the Old Covenant penalties of death or scourging ( Deuteronomy 1. In fact to the Christians of the first three centuries it could scarcely have occurred to assume any other attitude towards those who erred in matters of faith. Scapulam, c. Replying to the accusation of Celsus, based on the Old Testament, that the Christians persecuted dissidents with death, burning, and torture, Origen (C. Cels., VII, 2. 6) is satisfied with explaining that one must distinguish between the law which the Jews received from Moses and that given to the Christians by Jesus ; the former was binding on the Jews, the latter on the Christians. Cyprian of Carthage, surrounded as he was by countless schismatics and undutiful Christians, also put aside the material sanction of the Old Testament, which punished with death rebellion against priesthood and the Judges. He writes: The Christian teachers of the first three centuries insisted, as was natural for them, on complete religious liberty; furthermore, they not only urged the principle that religion could not be forced on others - - a principle always adhered to by the Church in her dealings with the unbaptised - - but, when comparing the Mosaic Law and the Christian religion, they taught that the latter was content with a spiritual punishment of heretics (i.
At the same time they retained the traditional authority of . But the latter, particularly St.
Hilary of Poitiers (Liber contra Auxentium, c. They repeatedly urged that in this respect the severe decrees of the Old Testament were abrogated by the mild and gentle laws of Christ. However, the successors of Constantine were ever persuaded that the first concern of imperial authority (Theodosius II, . All manner of heretics were affected by this legislation, and in various ways, by exile, confiscation of property, or death.
The death penalty however, was only imposed for certain kinds of heresy ; in their persecution of heretics the Christian emperors fell far short of the severity of Diocletian, who in 2. Manich. So far we have been dealing with the legislation of the Christianized State. In the attitude of the representatives of the Church towards this legislation some uncertainty is already noticeable. At the close of the forth century, and during the fifth, Manichaeism, Donatism, and Priscillianism were the heresies most in view. Expelled from Rome and Milan, the Manichaeism sought refuge in Africa. Though they were found guilty of abominable teachings and misdeeds (St. Augustine, De haeresibus.
Church refused to invoke the civil power against them; indeed, the great Bishop of Hippo explicitly rejected the use force. He sought their return only through public and private acts of submission, and his efforts seem to have met with success. Indeed, we learn from him that the Donatists themselves were the first to appeal to the civil power for protection against the Church.
State intervention not answering to their wishes, and the violent excesses of the Circumcellions being condignly punished, the Donatists complained bitterly of administrative cruelty. Optatus of Mileve defended the civil authority (De Schismate Donatistarum, III, cc.
St. Augustine, on the contrary, was still opposed to the use of force, and tried to lead back the erring by means of instruction; at most he admitted the imposition of a moderate fine for refractory persons. Finally, however, he changed his views, whether moved thereto by the incredible excesses of the Circumcellions or by the good results achieved by the use of force, or favoring force through the persuasions of other bishops. He appears to speak in one way to government officials, who wanted the existing laws carried out to their fullest extent, and in another to the Donatists, who denied to the State any right of punishing dissenters.
In his correspondence with state officials he dwells on Christian charity and toleration, and represents the heretics as straying lambs, to be sought out and perhaps, if recalcitrant chastised with rods and frightened with threats of severer but not to be driven back to the fold by means of rack and sword . On the other hand, in his writings against the Donatists he upholds the rights of the State: sometimes, he says, a salutary severity would be to the interest of the erring ones themselves and likewise protective of true believers and the community at large (Vacandard, 1. As to Priscillianism, not a few points remain yet obscure, despite recent valuable researches. It seems certain, however, that Priscillian, Bishop of Avila in Spain, was accused of heresy and sorcery, and found guilty by several councils. Ambrose at Milan and St. Damascus at Rome seem to have refused him a hearing.
At length he appealed to Emperor Maximus at Trier, but to his detriment, for he was there condemned to death. But the foremost Christian teachers did not share these sentiments, and his own execution gave them occasion for a solemn protest against the cruel treatment meted out to him by the imperial government. Martin of Tours , then at Trier, exerted himself to obtain from the ecclesiastical authority the abandonment of the accusation, and induced the emperor to promise that on no account would he shed the blood of Priscillian, since ecclesiastical deposition by the bishops would be punishment enough, and bloodshed would be opposed to the Divine Law (Sulpicius Severus, .
The great Bishop of Milan, St. Priscillianism, however, did not disappear with the death of its originator; on the contrary, it spread with extraordinary rapidly, and, through its open adoption of Manichaeism, became more of a public menace than ever. In this way the severe judgments of St. Augustine and St.
Jerome against Priscillianism become intelligible. In 4. 47 Leo the Great had to reproach the Priscillianists with loosening the holy bonds of marriage, treading all decency under foot, and deriding all law, human and Divine. It seemed to him natural that temporal rulers should punish such sacrilegious madness, and should put to death the founder of the sect and some of his followers. He goes on to say that this redounded to the advantage of the Church : . L., LIV, 6. 79 sq.). The ecclesiastical ideas of the first five centuries may be summarized as follows: How little we are to trust the vaunted impartiality of Henry Charles Lee, the American historian of the Inquisition, we may here illustrate by an example.
They were numerous in Italy, Spain, Gaul and Germany. In 1. 12. 2 King Robert the Pious (regis iussu et universae plebis consensu), . Elsewhere similar acts were due to popular outbursts.
A few years later the Bishop of Ch. L., CXLII, 7. 52; .
Catalaunens. Wazo replied that this was contrary to the spirit of the Church and the words of its Founder, Who ordained that the tares should be allowed to grow with the wheat until the day of the harvest, lest the wheat be uprooted with the tares; those who today were tares might to- morrow be converted, and turn into wheat; let them therefore live, and let mere excommunication suffice. Chrysostom, as we have seen, had taught similar doctrine. This principle could not be always followed. Thus at Goslar, in the Christmas season of 1. Emperor Henry III wanted to prevent the further spread of .
Other Catharists, in spite of the archbishop's intervention, were given their choice by the magistrates of Milan between doing homage to the Cross and mounting the pyre. By far the greater number chose the latter. In 1. 11. 4 the Bishop of Soissons kept sundry heretics in durance in his episcopal city.
