glsn Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hello All, I am looking for ideas for a cheap Inquisitor Lord and Retinue. What I need is a support unit to protect a troop Firebase unit. Points wise, the unit needs to cost 115 points of less or at least very close to that. The ideas I've come up with so far: WH Inquisitor Lord w/ Power weapon, 3 Crusaders - 115 DH Inquisitor Lord, 2 mystics, 3 Veterans w/ Grenade Launchers - 117 Any help is apprieciated and thank you for your time.

OrdosInquisition Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Both of those seem like fairly reasonable ideas, I just thought i'd put two alternatives out there. Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Lord (45pts) w/ Divine Pronouncement (30pts) 1 Familiar (6pts) 1 Crusader (20pts) 2 Penitents (14pts) This could work. Pronouncement can be very very useful, particularly against models with leadership 8 or 9. A squad of marines with leadership 8 tests at leadership 6 and forcing people to run away can generally be something that comes in very useful. Armies like Tau that deploy firing lines near a board edge can be countered simply by forcing them to break and run off the board. I use a similar configured unit (It's more points then this, but you set a limit) and i've found it very useful. You could switch up the retinue a bit, but this seems to be the best way to put wounds on the table if you're going with this configuration. Alternatively, for a smaller more melee orientated squad you could go: Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Lord (45pts) w/ Evicerator (25pts) 1 Familiar (6pts) 2 Crusaders (40pts) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167737-ideas-for-a-cheap-inquisitor-lord-and-retinue/#findComment-1977268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
number6 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I would do the following: Malleus I-lord, psycannon, psychic hood 2x mystic 1 sage Total: 117 pts Gives you a BS 5 psycannon, an infinitely-ranged psychic hood, and deep-striker deterrence for your firebase. Also worth considering: drop the psychic hood and exchange for Sanctuary. In games including daemons (CSM or Daemons themselves), you can plunk the unit on an objective and keep it secure. Works best if you can also afford a Rhino or Chimera for the I-lord, but still pretty handy.

WitXh DocTor Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I have used this combination with some success, Elite DH Inquisitor (with bolter and targeter, just so he won’t be naked) 3 HB servitors 2 mystics 1 hierophant (to up his leadership to 9) Comes to 117 points. Works well as a deep strike deterrent and a small firebase if needed.
