Inquisitor, why are you not adding one?

85 points for an Inquisitor with 3 Plasma Cannon Servitors?

Doesn't interest me, despite it's apparent effectiveness ;)

[Ishagu]

I'll be taking at least one in every list I make!

Here is my recent Revelation. Liber Heresius Artifact. Gives a basic Inquisitor Scouts in the first turn.

 

So this 25 point HQ (+15 Artifact) can grant scouts to any unit in your army he joins. So what if they cant be in a transport. You can outflank ANY unit in your army.... (Cough/Cents/Cough)

 

Can you imagine Centurion Devastators outflanking and getting Prescience?

 

Talk about a death star. haha.

OK. Inquisitors are too good. There is no reason for not taking them. They boost Deep Strike, blast weapons, shooting weapons in general, tarpit units, close combat units. They also prevent scouting and infiltration. For ~30 pts. In almost any army. They bring incredible variety of Special Rules. I gave it a shot and tried to find a reason for excluding them from my lists.

I play Salamanders. Lots of flamers. No need for Prescience. I use no blasts and my enemy does not scout or infiltrate. And I don't Deep Strike. Therefore no need for Servo Skulls. Oh, and I don't have tarpit units, just flamers and meltas - already twin-linked. So, why shall I take an Inqiusitor?

So, why shall I take an Inqiusitor?

 

25 points for adding Stubborn and 3W meatshield to your units?

 

Then there's the books for free rules.  Especially Scout.

I can see a use for an Inquisitor in pretty much any Space Marine list, the two main exceptions being full drop pod lists and biker lists as the Inquisitor doesn't really have anywhere to ride in those.

[Giga]

What reason can anyone think of that every single Imperial Army won't now add an Inquisitor to their lists?

I don't have an inquisitor model. :[

No model(s), no Codex.
