Mixed Inquisition armies

[SoulReaver296]

i run a pure GK army, but i have lately been drawn to SoB and am considering making a joint force. I have never used them before, though i have C: WH that i'm borrowing from a friend, so all help would be appreciated. several questions

 

1) Which as the base army, sisters or GK?

 

2) What units work well with a joint force? how squads work with each other

 

3) Which squads do what? individual squad tactics, squad layouts

 

4) Overall tactics? how the army works

 

5) And anything you feel is relevent

 

thank you

I reccomend a Sisters base. Footslogger Sisters can put a lot of bodies on the field, with grey knights as elite expensive assaulters (especially termies). Also, you get Exorcists.

 

 

For a joint force: large Sisters squads (15-20 squad members per) as troops, GK termies as elites, exorcists as heavy support, canoness and GK Captain as HQ, is my reccomendation. Seraphim as fast attack if you wish.

 

 

Battle Sisters hold objectives, and they can do it quite well. Exorcists are tank hunters. Grey Knight terminators are deep strikers who can deal with most threats. Canoness depends on her build. Seraphim are mobile problem solvers that can deal with most situations.

 

 

Overall tactics would be to move the Battle Sister Squads up onto objectives, and use the Grey Knights and Seraphim to deal with troublesome enemies. Exorcists deal with the most heavilly armed threats.

 

 

It'd probably be best used at higher pionts really (1500+) because GK stuff is fairly expensive...

yeah you really wanna use the sisters as the base unless you really wanna use the grey knights heavy options.

 

I ran a sisters w/ allied grey knights list, almost exclusively, until recently when I started going a different direction fluff wise.

 

My base would be:

 

jump pack canoness, 2 squads of 20 sisters each, 2 squads of 5 storm troopers w/ plasma or melta and chimera, grey knight termies. Size of the grey knight termy squad and any other units I used would depend on points available.

 

I also very very very rarely deep strike the GKTs. I have them advance and shoot with the 40 sisters. Your opponent either focuses lots of firepower on trying to kill the terms and then SoBs get into their face with rending bolters or they try to take out the SoBs and they get assaulted by the baddest terminators in the game.

 

Exorcist tanks, seraphim, PAGK, and all the other goodies were a case by case basis.

 

One fun thing to do is to take an immolator as a heavy support choice and have 6 grey knights in power armor jump out of it, really freaks people out ;)

6 grey knights, with 2 incinerators... Oh yea...

i was actually thinking about using an immolator or two, and making it a mech list... sisters in rhinos, PAGK in immolators, Termies DSing (since with base WH theres no way to get an undedicated LR for them). the GK squads would be small, but as long as i'm not facing heavy AT (which i usually am not) Viable?

Mech sisters with GK support is totally viable, and would be the army I would build were I not focused on other 40K and Fantasy projects. ^_^ A mechanized force brings the speed and mobility a GK force largely lacks, and is also capable of setting up "mobile terrain" to better protect your investments into the expensive GK elements of your list. Keep the Sisters moving and firing, and let the GKs add their own fire support and do virtually all of the assault clean-up. Troops GKs -- especially with a pair of psycannons -- make excellent objective holders, too.
