Inquisition in 10th Edition 40K Review - Are Inquisitors Worth It?

[@jonathanforsythe3393]

I know they probably wouldn't do it, but I'd love a multi part plastic kit that you can customize your own Inquisitor.

[@N1ghtStalkerNL]

The generic inquisitor is just perfect for Deathwatch as their 5+ FNP vs mortals makes the unit they lead harder to take out and many DW strategems target 2 killteam units, so you can boost 2 units with 1 CP and if the inquisitor is is 1 of them you have a 67% chance of getting the CP back.

[@netdemon78]

Inquisitors can only lead battleline units, not killteams. You can put a inquisitor in a regular unit, but you cant use strategems on two regular units at once, only one two kill teams. So you can choose two kill team unit or a single regular unit a the target of the strategems

[@johnbaker7322]

I like Kyria for leading a unit of battle sisters. She helps keep them safe from long range fire so they can sit on a point and collect miracle dice or perhaps live long enough to approach armor to use meltas on. She also synergizes with the current detachment rule because she makes it harder for the squad to be focused down and combining that with her weapon profile rejoice the fallen has potential to get good value for her squad.

[@zissoulander]

Same. She also synergizes with the exorcist indirect already in the codex. Having her attached to a BSS also means that if she kills something with her indirect you get a miracle die due to the simulacrum in the unit.

[@falsehero2001]

That’s cool. It’s a shame she’s Ordo Xenos. It would be proper fluffy if she was Ordo Hereticus.

From everyone here in Oil City, Pa- thank you Auspex.

[@crazyshak4827]

Greyfax is surprisingly brutal with Custodian Guard. If you come across a psyker unit, it makes their ranged fire surprisingly dangerous, and she benefits from their double tap. And if they get into melee...well, assuming the enemy survives, now they either have to make the desperate escape or stay in combat with a bunch of Custodian Guard. And she's good with Prosecutors too for a budget option. All told, she's remarkably useful in a Custodes list, especially if you're not necessarily building to bleeding edge meta

[@HighlandPhoenix]

Inquisitor Karamazov needs Lone Operative when within 3” of a Henchmen or Battleline unit, just like Guilliman’s smurf bodyguard rule… definitely required! Just wished all Adeptus Arbites squads were Battleline…

[@Beedji]

Inquisition should be a stand alone faction at that point. They have all the models they need to make a cool unique faction.

[@darko-man8549]

They should just combine Witch Hunters back together

[@HighlandPhoenix]

The Henchmen Servitors not being able to double up Heavy weapons is just arbitrary and annoying… 😢

[@David-mx1os]

I think GW should include tags for puritan and radical inquisitors, with different build options for each. A puritan inquisitor like Greyfax shouldn't have access to a daemonhost in her retinue, but they could get another specialist instead, such as a ministorum priest. Also the blessed wardings on the standard inquisitor seems much weaker than the psychic gifts option - I think it would've been better if blessed wardings just gave FNP against everything rather than just mortals. I think the generic inquisitor should also have different rules depending on which Ordo they belong to - hopefully GW does more with the current datasheets at some point - more customisation options for inquisitors please, as they are one of the most interesting aspects of the setting

[@catosicarius3262]

Been running Greyfax with a full Prosecutor unit, almost every game they have had a psyker to wreck, even against Khorne Daemons. He took Belakor, Belakor was not happy about his inclusion.

I have Eisenhorn in my all Imperial collection. Mainly because I was stoked after reading the books. 🤷‍♂️ I’ve only played him one time and it was with my Grey Knights (9th). I summoned his Daemon host just for the pure heresy then charged him with my own Strike Marines. Had my opponent roll his dice, Eisenhorn and his vile host were exterminatus extremus and he’s been on the shelf since 😂

[@BuddyWithTheSideburns]

Seconding a comment made by another Deathwatch player, generic Inquisitors are beautiful in DW armies, especially where the Teleportarium strat is concerned: Solid chance to deep strike two strong units for free every turn. Great for getting important units out of danger, snagging objectives, and landing Tactical Missions like "Engage on All Fronts". Makes your army infinitely more mobile. I can speak from experience when I say that your opponents will find it VERY annoying 😅

[@spoonsrattling]

Inquisitor coteaz is such a sick model, always wanted to run him

I am a huge fan of attaching inquisitors and assassins to my Custodes lists. You mentioned bring Greyfax with a squad of Witchseekers but this isn't possible as they don't have the Battleline keyword. I want so badly to be able to attach a standard inquisitor to a 10 sister squad of Witchseekers, because it's extremely fluffy and the idea of being able to keep spamming overwatch with 10d6 flamer shots is just so appealing.

[@facelesscleric2744]

I know its not points effecient but I have had a lot of luck running a generic inquisitor with blessed wardings leading a maxed out henchmen squad, its surprisingly durable and it can do a decent amount of damage because of the daemonhost and jokaero.

[@musicalcharge]

I think one thing worth remembering about the inquisitor CP ability is that it's not the same as the captain one, therefore can stack.

[@UnverifiedScrobbler]

True, but you wouldn't be able to attach a Captain and an Inquisitor to the same squad as there's no wording on either to allow it like with an Apothecary

[@musicalcharge]

@@UnverifiedScrobbler No, but if you need a cheap leader, you could have a captain on one unit, an inquisitor on the other, use a strat on first the inquisitor's unit, farm the CP, then use the same strat on captain's unit for free. Two captains, you'd have no opportunity to farm the CP.

Having been around a long time (Old hammer vet) I have an old Inquisitor in Terminator armour which I painted quite recently, so it would have been nice to see the legends datafax for this model included. I wonder if he is worth including? Of course, I will use him for fluff's sake.

[@TideUltra13-ex3xl]

It has the same rules as the regular, unamed inquisitor, but with better defensive statistics. I think you can apply his analysis of the regular inquisitior to it.

[@RagnarLodbrok1]

I've been running a generic Inquisitor and Henchmen with IG (no Jokaero or Daemonhost at the moment due to me not having the models). It's not a bad unit; it hasn't had a standout performance yet, but I haven't regretted taking it yet either. I'd agree that their main advantage is that they're weirdly tough for regular humans and can fight off light bully units in close combat. Since their shooting isn't great, they're also my first pick for mission actions that require a unit to sacrifice shooting. Much less of an opportunity cost than most Guard infantry if they can't shoot for a turn, and they're harder to shoot apart before they finish.

[@Riddler_von]

I’m rewatching this video and still think these kind of armies are made for the narrative campaign players. I’m in that lot and it’s nice to not have to make up rules for odd or forgotten things that are in the lore. But they need a way to build your own Inquisitor for better storytelling.

[@TheCerbari]

I just started playing 40k and used the henchemen in almost every game. i really like them, they might be a bit expensive, but they are just a fun unit with lots of buffs and very tanky. i used coteaz with them, but next game i will try a normal standard inquisitor.

[@chuckw6580]

Great video! But no mention of henchmen (acolytes) losing authority of the inquisition? I dislike how immobile they are now

[@orichaz86730]

GW should give Torquemada Coteaz and Fyodor Karamazov their original title Inquisitor Lord back. And also bring back the Inquisitorial Stormtroopers as Battleline/Troops for the Inquisition, and I'd love to see plastic updated Bound and Unbound Daemonhost dual kit for the Inquisition.
