+Binary 000001+ Who are the Daemonhunters?

The greatest threat to the Imperium of Man is, and has always been, the followers of Chaos and the foul Daemons of the Warp. The Inquisitors of the Ordo Malleus are at war with forces too terrible to comprehend and, together with the holy warriors of the Grey Knights, they must take the light of the Emperor into the darkness. The threat of the Daemonic is so great that only these heroic warriors have the necessary skills and knowledge to stand against such diabolic foes.

The Imperium of Man is beset on all quarters by enemies bent on its destruction. Traitors, heretics, and aliens pound on the multi-layered defences of Humanity. However, there are some threats that standard Imperial forces, including the mighty Space Marines, are incapable of facing. The Inquisition was created to face exactly these threats.

Within the Inquisition, there are Orders that specialise in fighting particular foes. The Ordo Malleus, or Daemonhunters, are devoted to fighting the Chaotic Daemons of the Warp. Daemons and their followers are and always have been the greatest threats to the Imperium. Their influence can snake into any sector, into any individual, no matter how secure or loyal they may seem. If left unchecked, these forces of Chaos could defile Humanity in a matter of years. Of course, this fact is kept from the citizens of the Imperium.

Because of the dire nature of the threat, the Daemonhunters have access to the best troops, weapons, and characters to fight their secret war. A special Chapter of advanced Space Marines, the Grey Knights, stands ready with powerful abilities to assist the Inquisitors. They can also use killers from the Officio Assassinorum and sanctioned psykers from the Scholastia Psykana. No resource is spared when a Daemonhunter goes to fight.
