So, at about 44:00, there's a mention of the factions within the Inquisition. Broadly speaking, these are the Radicals, and the Puritans. Radical Inquisitors believe that the enemy can be studied, mastered, and their own weapons turned against them. Employing sorcery against demons, wielding daemonic artifacts and xenotech, and even employing xenos as auxiliaries or cannon fodder are all things that Radicals would espouse. They're not necessarily wrong - the enemies of Man are myriad in form and legion in number, and it would behoove man to seize any advantage they can. Using a daemonic tome to close a warp rift, destroying the book in the process, does the Imperium much good. Puritan Inquisitors believe that Mankind needs its own solutions to problems, that using the weapons of daemons and xenos is heretical and invites corruption to set in and topple the Imperium from within. Puritan Inquisitors' first response to any xenotech or daemonic artifacts is fire and krak, and they tend to respond similarly to any collections of warp knowledge or xenological studies, as well as those that would collect such. They're not necessarily wrong - corruption is an ever-present issue, especially when dealing with the forces of Chaos, and every psyker lost by allowing them to read the wrong book and become a daemonhost, and every Imperial cult twisted to the worship of the Ruinous Powers hurts twice, both for the loss of resources and the strengthening of Mankind's enemies. Puritans would deal with a Warp Rift by building a shrine to the Emperor atop it and harrying it with with the ecclesiarchy and psykers until it collapses. It's important to note that, in truth, neither approach is categorically wrong. They're ideologies among the Inquisition. The Inquisition has broad-reaching power and authority, and with that comes flexibility in how things are handled. Most disputes between the factions seldom rise above the level of personal grievances, and only in the rarest of occasions is there factional conflict between Ordos, as each has their own area of interest.

Something always entertaining about the avatar of khaine, is it’s summoned by the rite of the young king where a chosen eldar goes into the chamber and sings about khaine’s greatest screwups. Khaine annihilates the chosen eldar’s soul in retaliation, but gets up to help out. The avatar of khaine usually is classified as a daemon mechanically, with anti-daemon items working on it.

The star chart is starting to look like a board of Pandemic. Which I suppose isn't that far from what's actually happening, just instead of four players there is just the one and instead of actions it's turn based combat.
