need help with henchmen as troops for deathwatch theme list

[Dusktiger]

i'm hoping maybe you guys can help me out here.

 

I want to make a fun to play Deathwatch themed 1500 list that's kinda fluffy, so probably an inquisitor and non-grey knight troops, mixed with an allied detachment of space marines painted up as Deathwatch.

 

my allied list (which is staying as it is, btw) consists of:

Pedro Kantor (makes sternguard scoring)

Sternguard squad (10) with:

3 combi-flamers,

a Heavy Flamer,

a Heavy Bolter,

and the sergeant has a Power Maul/Bolt Pistol.

Scout squad (5) with:

3 bolters,

1 Heavy Bolter,

sergeant with a Combi-Flamer

 

i dont really have any grey knight models, apart from a 9-man purifier squad i was gonna paint up as Exorcists, which has a hammer sergeant, 3 long swords, 3 dual swords, and 2 psycannon guys. there's no 10th guy cause he was used to convert a librarian a long while back.

 

i was thinking of also taking a xenos inquisitor, and give it power armour and Scythian Venom Talons so he wounds on 2+ all the time since he's only str 3.

 

i'd like to take henchmen as my primary knight force's troops, but i have no idea whats good or bad in those. could you guys give me suggestions on what to make? guess that means i also need coteaz for that too.  so with all that, i have 531pts to spend on the henchman troops. more if i drop points from the 256pt purifier squad.

Well henchman can perform various roles, do you want long range shooting, short range shooting, or melee? Because that shows what you should do with your inquisitors as well

[Dusktiger]

i should probably have a unit of long range, and maybe a melee one as well since i dont have anything that excels in that yet. 

 

because of a the model im thinking of converting for the xenos inquisitor, i think i may also give it a conversion beamer, so i may want a long range squad with that one.  i got my hands on a chimera with a heavy flamer/multi laser weapon combo on it, so i could put coteaz and a melee unit in there.

 

problem i'm having right now is reading everything, the fluff sounds cool for alot of the guys, but i dont know if they'll play well or not.  like these banisher guys. knowing everyone where i live wants to buy demon allies/whole demon armies, they sounded like they'd be good to toss one in every henchman squad just in case so i can force re-rolls on their invul saves.

[Dusktiger]

after peaking through some henchmen lists here, i tossed this up thinking it might be good.
