			The Enemy Without, the Xenos that assault mankind are every bit as varied and unpredictable as the minions of Chaos can be. Ranging from civilised races every bit if not more advanced (HERESY!) than humanity who compete for the galaxy, to primitive but effectively brutal murdering hordes to psychic Xenos that invade from the realm of Chaos, the Alienhunters must be prepared to face all of these threats. Additionally, while the threat of large Xenos groups with organized military (anyone with a codex) is great, the Imperial Guard is well-suited to fighting them. The Alienhunters are brought in more often against small, single aliens that pose a danger to the Imperium: Lacrymoles, Enslavers, Vampyres, and the like. They also deal with un-brainwashing imperial citizens who are psychically, chemically, physically, or ideologically enslaved by foul Xenos.

	One of the most notable & infamous members of the Ordo Xenos - formerly known as Inquisitor Lord [[Kryptman]] - was stripped of his title pursuant to the events of the Third Tyrannic War whereby he called down [[Exterminatus]] upon many worlds in the path of [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]]. Although Exterminatus is within the purview of the Inquisition as a general rule he carried this out to such an extent that even that otherwise ruthless organisation had to declare him a radical (officially at least; despite being marked with a ''to be {{BLAM}}-med on sight with extreme prejudice'' verdict, he's still kicking around) so as to prevent other members of the Ordos following suit.

	However - Suitable for one known as Inquisitor Lord, he was instrumental to much of the data garnered in relation to bringing the fight to as innumerable and indomitable foe as the Tyranids. He was even capable of providing the Imperial forces of the Third Tyrannic War the means to defeat the First Hive Fleet tendril (One of two) via assassination of it's biological progenitor, the Norn Queen. He would later go on to further demonstrate his skill at xenos-busting, even stripped of his title as he was when he caused the Second Hive Fleet tendril to enter into an engagement with an enemy every bit as innumerable and indomitable as his hated foe - the [[Ork]]s. The method with which he chose to do this shows an awareness of Tyranid biology that illustrates a particular role that the Ordo Xenos plays in hunting a particular Tyranid bio-form - the [[Genestealer]]. The only detail he might have overlooked is that as both races thrive on war, whichever of the two eventually wins will probably be an even greater threat, but at least he bought precious time for the Imperium to shore up its defences.

	== The Genestealer Threat ==		==The Genestealer Threat==

	One threat that the Ordo Xenos takes particularly seriously in comparison to the overt threats of Ork WAAAGH! or Tyranid Hive Fleets is the presence in the Imperium of [[Genestealer]] Hybrids which, in their most base form is practically indistinguishable from your typical hive-dwelling Imperial citizen. This ''infiltration'' bio-form - differing from that of the Lictor Xenos and other Tyranid organisms used for stealth - is the focus of intense scrutiny of the Ordo Xenos, and they have spent much time on the detection and eradication of these Genestealer Cults wherever they appear. Multiple Inquisitors throughout the fluff and lore have had tie-ins with Genestealer Cults, and the presence of a cell on a world can be enough to have a cynical Inquisitor reaching for the Exterminatus button just on the off chance there could be a hybrid standing '''behind you''', or your third cousin's new wife/husband might have sharp fangs and an "off" look about him/her.

	And if your entire thing in life is rooting out the enemies of mankind and getting a secret kick out of it, the mere existence of a creature capable of foiling your every move must be absolutely maddening. To the point of the rage of a thousand white hot blinding suns of fury. ''NOTHING'' gets an Ordo Xenos inquisitor moving faster than the word "Genestealer". Except maybe that strange chittering sound your adjutant just made '''behind you'''.

	== Possibilities of heresy ==		==Possibilities of heresy==

	Like with the other ordos there is a high possibility of heretical corruption in the Alienhunters. Prolonged contact with alienkind can alter the perceptions of the Inquisitor and make them think the Xenos aren't all that bad; sometimes, they may even openly question the necessity of destroying them. Some Inquisitors become attracted by Xenos technology and start trafficking it to get their hands on it. Others become the tools or agents of Xenos cleverer than them or who have stronger psychic powers than their own.

Line 76:		Line 73:
	Finally, the '''Xenos Hybris''' movement is based pretty much exclusively out of the Ordo Xenos, as its guiding philosophy is that not all sapient Xenos are evil and humanity might even benefit if it stopped having a universal "kill on sight" policy towards everything that isn't genetically human. At the very least, Xeno-tech should be studied and used to make up for the current deficiencies in humanity's own tech. Now, this may sound counter-intuitive since the vast majority of aliens in the 40K verse are absolute fucking assholes, but it's not unprecedented. Though the Eldar's dickishness and the Tau's arrogance obscures matters, they do work with humanity often enough, and they're actually not the only races that do so, just the only races with individual codexes who're seen doing it. In fact, it's been pointed out in some novels that at least some sapient xenos races declare war on the Imperium not for any particular hatred of humanity, but because humanity attacked them first. This philosophy is distinguished from the above by how broad and all-encompassing its pursuit and use of xenos lore and technology can be, from equipping acolytes with pulse rifles to recruiting a Kroot. While Games Workshop/Black Library hasn't given them an Imperium-spanning ideology like the Amalathians or Xanthites, it is common to see Inquisitors sympathetic to its position in Black Library works, such as Gideon Ravenor. FFG's 40k RPGs implied that there are many small Radical factions adhering to this philosophy throughout the Imperium.

	They were supposed to get a [[Codex]] like the [[Daemonhunters]] and [[Witch Hunters]] (which were First and Second Books of the [[Inquisition]], respectively), but the [[Sisters of Battle]] got split into their own [[White Dwarf]] army list, and the entire Inquisition got folded into the new [[Grey Knights]]. The Alienhunters often seem to get diddled by GW for no good reason, perhaps because they don't want their glorious high end selling Grey Knights to have some competition.

	As '''Revivificationism''' is fixated on understanding death and the way that souls interact with the Warp upon dying, the Ordo Xenos' authority to study the Eldar of both the Craftworlds and of Commorragh is of great interest to them. After all, the former cheat death through the use of their Soul Stones, whilst the latter have conquered death to the point that most of their population is incessantly cloned back from death over and over again.

	Finally, the '''Xenos Hybris''' movement is based pretty much exclusively out of the Ordo Xenos, as its guiding philosophy is that not all sapient Xenos are evil and humanity might even benefit if it stopped having a universal "kill on sight" policy towards everything that isn't genetically human. At the very least, Xeno-tech should be studied and used to make up for the current deficiencies in humanity's own tech.

At the very least, Xeno-tech should be studied and used to make up for the current deficiencies in humanity's own tech. Now, this may sound counter-intuitive since the vast majority of aliens in the 40K verse are absolute fucking assholes, but it's not unprecedented. Though the Eldar's dickishness and the Tau's arrogance obscures matters, they do work with humanity often enough, and they're actually not the only races that do so, just the only races with individual codexes who're seen doing it. In fact, it's been pointed out in some novels that at least some sapient xenos races declare war on the Imperium not for any particular hatred of humanity, but because humanity attacked them first. This philosophy is distinguished from the above by how broad and all-encompassing its pursuit and use of xenos lore and technology can be, from equipping acolytes with pulse rifles to recruiting a Kroot. While Games Workshop/Black Library hasn't given them an Imperium-spanning ideology like the Amalathians or Xanthites, it is common to see Inquisitors sympathetic to its position in Black Library works, such as Gideon Ravenor. FFG's 40k RPGs implied that there are many small Radical factions adhering to this philosophy throughout the Imperium.
