A question about game design

[ChrisNihilus]

First time i saw GK in the Elite Mod i was quite shock of seeing a StormTrooper squad at the beginning of the game.

It's a unit from another race, different in all but the look. They will always look strange to me.
Still i don't want to do this post to complaining or something, i like the game very much, i'm just curious about a game design/lore choice.

Why was the Inquisitorial StormTroopers chosen to be the base unit for GK instead of a more unique squad like, for example, the Crusaders or the Servitors?

My guess is animations, models and it fits the fluff.

Well, I'm sure if we had Servitors or Crusader models we had them in ELITE by now, beside that, Inquisitorial Stormtroopers are the backbone of the Inquisiton.

Its just a unit they share with the Imperial Guard. But where the Guard uses them as paratroopers / blackops the Inquisition deploys them more in the style of Grenadiers. Heavy Frontline Infantry.

In grey knights codex in tabletop stormtroopers along with grey knights are the only troop choices so it makes perfect sense.
