Cosplayers Bring Warhammer 40,000 Junior Inquisitor and Tech-Priest to Life

Cosplayers Maria Sprenger and Denis Korolenko have stepped into the Warhammer 40,000 universe as junior interrogator Sibylla Estreinden of the Ordo Malleus and a Tech-Priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus to thwart the insidious plots of Chaos cults seeking to destroy the Imperium of Man.

Photographer Nadezhda “Miss Plague” Lipatova invites people to take another look at the Warhammer 40,000 universe, where one can die at the hands of heretics, Tyranids, Orks, and more, encounter gods and their champions, unearth incredible artifacts, and watch as trillions of living beings perish every day.

During her photoshoot, cosplayers Maria Sprenger and Denis Korolenko appeared as junior interrogator Sibylla Estreinden of the Ordo Malleus and a Tech-Priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

An interrogator is a student and assistant to an inquisitor. At this level, with the teacher’s approval, they can undertake their own investigations or plan operations.

Like other members of the Ordo Malleus, an interrogator must purge worlds of the activities and presence of Chaos cults lurking within imperial society before their forbidden worship leads to a demonic invasion.

A Tech-Priest is an adept of the Adeptus Mechanicus. They serve as priests of the Cult Mechanicus, in which knowledge is the highest manifestation of divinity and, accordingly, all creations and technologies embodying knowledge are sacred. A person’s value is determined solely by their knowledge, and their body is merely an organic machine capable of preserving intellect.
