glomscient Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I'm just wondering if, in the gk codex (or in any established fluff) it says anything about inquisitors taking terminator armor. I want to know because I am planning on having a radical xenos inquisitor as a counts-as captain for a space marine army, and i think that it would look cool (I don't care about being competitive :tu: ).

Chengar Qordath Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Yes, they can take Terminator Armor (though in the GK Codex its only an option for Malleus Inquisitors).

glomscient Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Well, if only malleus inquisitors can take it, then I guess that i should just go with artificer armor. Seems more fun to make, too. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241200-can-inquisitors-take-terminator-armor/#findComment-2912750 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chengar Qordath Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Well, from a fluff and counts-as perspective, there's no reason an OH or OX Inquisitor couldn't take Terminator Armor.

jeffersonian000 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 An OM Inquisitor in TDA with Psycannon and Daemonhammer can easily be modeled as a Marine Terminator with Assault Cannon and Powerfist ... gear wise.

thade Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Still T3, which is a very wounded marine. Doable, though. It begs the question: what will you do with the rest of your force?

glomscient Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Still T3, which is a very wounded marine. Doable, though. It begs the question: what will you do with the rest of your force? Well, I was thinking of making them a small group of space marines (possibly undercover deathwatch) who fight alongside tau, and the Inquisitor's personal menagerie of tyranids (separated from the hive mind, of course). Well, i did say that he was a radical inquisitor, didn't I? They fight against chaos space marines, dark eldar, and orks (the latter being his most hated foes). Btw, thanks for the replies. Also, what model do you guys think that I should use as a base for this guy? I was thinking of shaving the chaos symbols off of the chaos lord, but I'm open to ideas.

thade Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Typically a "radical ordos xenos Inquisitor" (he's be OX because he's working with Death Watch) is radical because he or she wields xenos tech in their mission (which is flat out heretical). Ordos Xenos exists to oppose Xenos threats...so he's beyond radical if he's working with xenos. Gets even more dodgy when you consider how unhappy Deathwatch would be working alongside Tau for any length of time. That said, hard to swallow does not mean implausible; just know what you're getting yourself into. :) The cooler the paint jobs and conversions, the better. Honestly, the part that I don't like about this is using the GK codex to represent Death Watch: every DW marine is not a psyker, so why would anti-psyker weaponry work against them? (As it does against GKs.) Also, a minor aside, Henchmen with hotshot lasguns or whatever or the like do not well represent Tau (unless you mean to play doubles with another player who runs a Tau codex list?). This is a tricky counts-as; I honestly wouldn't do it myself.

thade Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 You were not specific, no. Are you mix-matching then? Or using the old WH dex?

Psst: read the op :devil: : "as a counts-as captain for a space marine army" The tau will be allies whenever I am playing with someone who doesn't have armies, so that they can borrow two (or three, if i use nids) of my armies, and i can use the others.

thade Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Yes, I misunderstood that entirely. No reason you can't represent an Inquisitor with a Captain stat line; not a Space Marine doesn't mean he's not a bamf. He can have enough cyber-enhancements in him and his armor to make him T4, easily. :devil: Enjoy!

glomscient Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Thanks! Now, what do you think about shaving all of the spiky/chaos bitz off of the chaos termy lord for this guy? I especially like this idea because of the cape (and because anything that comes off intact would be good for my red rings of death :devil: ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241200-can-inquisitors-take-terminator-armor/#findComment-2913161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
