Director of the official 90s 40k short film Inquisitor,Tom Lauten in conversation with Jordan Sorcery.

Having worked with Troma in New York on the likes of ultra low budget horror film The Toxic Avenger, Tom Lauten applied his mastery of movie make up and special affects to the first official live action films set in Warhammer's 41st millennium. 

Inquisitor, and the teasers for two follow up films, was shown at Games Day and released on VHS and remains a fan favourite glimpse into the 40k universe. Tom Lauten's team went on to work on Warhammer 40,000: Final Liberation and produce intricate life size in-universe displays and props for Warhammer World.
