Spellscape Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hi all Is it good idea to include Lord Inquisitor in Terminator armor with Psycannon and LandRaider to SOB list (as I understand in 1500+ points)?

Prathios Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Unless I'm mistaken, WH do not have terminator armor in their armory. So unless you are doing allied DH you can't do this.

Spellscape Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Yes he's from DH codex. But anyway is there any good way to get LR in SOB army (I mean what wargear for Inquisitor and what retinue if any)?

Prathios Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Well the DH Inquisitor is very hard to make into a CC character but can act very well as a heavy support squad. Just load up on plasma weapons on him and his retinue and throw them in a rhino. Or if you wanted a LR then that works too, but don't really get your point worth out of a LR unless you are trying to use the assault ramps for something. I could never justify a LR as a firing platform, unless I need something designed for CC transported I shy away from their huge points cost.

Spellscape Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 I wanted to use LR for SOB squads Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164222-dh-inquisitor-for-sob-army/#findComment-1930827 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prathios Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The LR is a transport choice for sisters, as for allying with DH and using their LR as a transport for the sisters I can't think of how you can do that. I'm sure someone else has an idea though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164222-dh-inquisitor-for-sob-army/#findComment-1930855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungboy Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The LR is a transport choice for sisters No Sisters can take a LR as a transport as far as i can see. Only Inquisitors can.

JamesI Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 IF you want a DH Inquisitor in a SOB army, I would recommend psycannon, with a mystic, sage and some servitors (likely heavy bolter/plasmacannon). Then let their LR be borrowed by the sisters. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164222-dh-inquisitor-for-sob-army/#findComment-1930898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
number6 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 If you're playing strictly RAW, the only way for you to get a Sisters unit into a land raider is by taking a Hereticus Inquisitor with a retinue and buy them a land raider dedicated transport. You won't be able to embark any unit other than the Inqusitor's into the raider at deployment (whether your chosen deployment is "normal", Reserves, or Dawn of War), but once the game has started, you can move the Sisters unit into the tank. Sadly, DH dedicated transports -- all of them, including Inquisitorial land raiders -- are well and truly dedicated, unable to transport any unit other than the one for which it was bought. That said, if you and your opponent are willing to do some minor house-ruling, you can use Malleus Inqusitorial raiders to ferry around some Sisters exactly as I outlined above for Hereticus land raiders. But when it comes to Malleus land raiders, you run into yet another RAW issue: they don't have either the Machine Spirit or Assault Vehicle rules! Only Grey Knight land raiders were given these rules in the latest Errata. :) Once again, you can arrange to house-rule your way out of this conundrum, but then you'll have to decide which version of Machine Spirit you want to use. The one in the DH Errata, or the one in the WH codex. If you're running two or more Inquisitorial raiders -- at least one from each codex -- then it definitely behooves you to decide which version you want to employ, changing the RAW for one codex or the other. Consistence is paramount, methinks. Sigh. So stupidly complicated..... :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164222-dh-inquisitor-for-sob-army/#findComment-1930927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulReaver296 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 any one find it odd that DH inquisitors are better shooty, and WH inquisitors are better choppy, even though this is counter to what GW wanted? think this will be addressed in their new codex?

Peredyne Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 any one find it odd that DH inquisitors are better shooty, and WH inquisitors are better choppy, even though this is counter to what GW wanted? think this will be addressed in their new codex? If half of the rumors I've heard/seen are true, the whole "Inquisition" bit will be dropped from both codices, and you will have a "Grey Knights" codex and a "Sisters" codex.

Chengar Qordath Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 IF you want a DH Inquisitor in a SOB army, I would recommend psycannon, with a mystic, sage and some servitors (likely heavy bolter/plasmacannon). Then let their LR be borrowed by the sisters. I've found that including a DH Inquisitor + Retinue makes for a nice long-range fire support unit for an SoB force; having a psycannon on the Inq. and access to Mystics makes it a much better unit than the WH equivalent.

Melissia Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Yes. Use a C:WH Inquisitor with a retinue (any kind of retinue, any kind of C:WH Inquisitor) and you may give them a Land Raider. It sucks, but that's how it is. Blame GW for inserting this crappy limitation.

Melissia Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 You cannot take a transport. See section "Inquisitor's Retinue" inside of the "0-1 Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Lord" army list entry on page 26.
