== So what is Heresy? ==
IF IT AIN'T INVOLVING THE EMPEROR, IT'S ALL HERESY!

This above sentence may seem an overstatement but really it is closer to the truth then you'd think. To the Witch Hunters anything that veers from the Emperor's light is to be found and purged and the purging is usually done in [[Salamanders|fire]].

Unlike the [[Daemonhunters]], Witch Hunters act as more of a police instead of a military force. While the Daemon Hunters search the stars for daemons and the chaos crazies responsible for them with the Grey Knights; Witch Hunters are instead more focused on rooting out heresy from within the Imperium's worlds, finding heretics that have infiltrated the Imperium already and purging any [[chaos cults|cults]] they may have formed.

Apostasy is also an extreme form of heresy and the one viewed most unfavorably by the Ordo. Thus, the name Witch Hunter. Apostates, for the purposes of 40k, are any [[psyker]]s who have not submitted to Imperial authority and specifically those that avoid said authority. Although, sorcerers are just plain purged period. Sorcery in 40k does not require being a psyker and is easily influenced by Chaos and there is a Chaos God specifically with control over sorcery. Also because the Emperor forbade sorcery. These are witches in the more traditional sense by real life standards.

They are the firebrand Inquisitors which give the Inquisition its [[Grimdark|(Grim)]]dark reputation and all you heard about them is very true.

The Ordo Hereticus fights The Enemy Within, the [[Ordo Xenos]] fights The Enemy Without, and the Ordo Malleus fights The Enemy Beyond.
