With his warband he scourges the galaxy, walking in the shadows of darkness in order to root out heresy. Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn is an Imperial inquisitor, one of the tireless defenders of humanity. Here's the description of his trilogy from the publisher's website, which may offer a few more hints at what to expect from the adaptation: That trilogy is providing the basis for Spotnitz's TV series. Drawing from sci-fi, fantasy and crime genres, Eisenhorn will see Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn and his band of investigators fight to thwart the monstrous schemes of aliens, heretics and daemons before mankind's doom is sealed.Īuthor Dan Abnett wrote Xenox, Malleus, and Hereticus – collectively known as the Eisenhorn trilogy – with the first entry being published in the early 2000s. Here's the description of the story: While humanity's armies wage unending war across a million battlefields, in the darkness, a secret conflict rages – fought by the agents of the Imperial Inquisition. Eisenhorn is set in the game's distant future world, when mankind has almost been wiped out. I'd never really heard of this property before, but Warhammer 40,000 (or Warhammer 40k, if ya nasty) is a miniature wargame – players assemble and paint their own miniature figures and wage fictional battle on pre-sold terrain models or custom-made creations on a tabletop, rolling dice and simulating combat.
According to Deadline, Spotnitz (who also wrote for The X-Files) will serve as the showrunner for Eisenhorn, which marks the first live-action TV show based on the novels, board games, and miniatures in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
