[Valerian]

Word on the street is that an update is available for the digital Inquisition Codex.

EDIT: The iBook version through iTunes has definitely been updated, and is showing version 1.2 (June 2014).  Not sure about the eBook version through the Black Library website, as that is showing last update of November 2013.

[DinoDoc]

Well what changed?

[Gentlemanloser]

There must be someone that actually bought Codex: Inquisition that could let us all know.

 

/whistles innocently

"The only change that I could see was the Inquisitors' access to psychic powers, which are rolling on the Sanctic, Divination, Telepathy, Telekinisis, and Pyromancy disciplines. Not even Chimeras were changed to reflect the new Astra Militarum codex" - comments at Faeit 212.

[Ozshock]

ebooks would be easy to update in this way...that information is in the FAQ anyway

[Valerian]

ebooks would be easy to update in this way..

 

True

 

.that information is in the FAQ anyway

What FAQ? As far as I know, no FAQ has been released for the Inquisition codex...

[Ozshock]

hmmm...ur right there isnt one...my copy of the codex is about 4 months old and this is what i have for psychic powers

 

Coteaz can use Divination/Pyromancy/Telekenisis

same for OM/OH/OX inquis

 

Psykers are still listed as having psychic barrage though

[Kenderleech]

psykers, in the back, got the same powers as the rest of the book.  sanctic, div, telekin, telepath, pyro.   they upped the valks cost from 100 to 125 base.   thats it.  DCA and crusaders are still power swords only.

[Ozshock]

hmmm...where do DCA only have swords?

 

in my version under Wargear for the henchmen, DCA are listed as having 2x power weapons...and in the weapons section it has the profiles for Lance/Maul/Sword

So as to not rehash a settled arguement. 

[Ozshock]

hmmm...seems there was 2 copies...the earlier version saying power weapons...then the codex was updated with power swords...thanks for pointing that one out

 

however it doesnt affect the GK codex version AS YET...but be aware they will probably be removes from our codex in the near future so dont glue those weapons in, magnetise them :)

Copy Paste from : http://greyknights.forumotion.com/t4045-update-for-codex-inquisition

 

 

just redownloaded my inquisition book from the black library and the changes are as follows:

it is still 1 HQ minimum with a additional HQ and 3 elite optional.

Command Benefits:
if the inquisition is your primary detatchment, the warlord may reroll his ordo malleus/xenos/hereticus warlord trait

Coteaz lost the lord of Formosa special rule

henchmen units cannot gain the objective secured special rule, ever.

Ordo Malleus inquisitors warlord trait Forbidden Lore, which increased his mastery level by 1 now only lets the warlord generate a additional warp charge. that means he remain a psyker level 1 at all times now. the daemonweapon result familiar still only lets the warlord generate a additional warp charge point.

inquisitors of ordo malleus/hereticus/xenos aswell as inquisitor coteaz and the henchmen psykers generate powers from the following disciplines: daemonology (sanctic), divination, pyromancy, telekinesis and telepathy.

as these psykers are not codex: Grey knights they suffer perils on any doubles when using daemonology (sanctic)

even though the psychic card discipline matrix shows codex inquisition having access to all rulebook psychic disciplines they do not have access to biomancy and malefic.

valkyries cost 25 points more now.

so this "update" is basically just a copy & paste of the GK psyker FAQ part. the removal of lord of formosa and the reroll for warlord trait.
just a big dissapointment... there is no reason why it took them so long to update the inquisition codex. they simply forgot about it and as the community found out just did a lazy job.

[Gentlemanloser]

As C:I Coteaz has lost Lord of Formosa, he *must* now be a different Unique unit to the C:GK Coteaz, who has a special rule called Lord of Formosa.

Ah good ol' GW.

They make good rules you know.

[Kilofix]

Wait, so if you use an Inq Detachment as your Primary Detachment - you can't get Objective Secured?

[Gentlemanloser]

Nope.

 

And might set a precedence for TGS.  Unyeidling Anvil might actually do nothing in 7th. :/

[Valerian]

Thanks for posting that, rurik; that's a good summary of the updates for everyone.

IJ and I was talking about the use of Inquisitorial Detachments in an Army List thread, and it appears there's more changes to the Inquisition Codex than just the stuff listed above.

 

The older version has the following to say about how to include Inquisitorial detachments;

 

If you take Inquisitors as a primary detachment, use the Inquisitorial detachment Force

Organisation chart instead of the primary detachment Force Organisation chart.

Alternatively, an army may include an Inquisitorial detachment in addition to any other

detachments. Other detachments, such as allied detachments, additional primary

detachments and fortifications can be taken normally.

 

Which seems to have been removed.

[Venemox]

Which could mean that taking units from C:I in battleforged armies may be impossible,a s C:I cannot form CADs or ADs

 

Edit:  This was speculation based upon conjecture and rumor.  An exercise in carrying logic forward.  Read below for current wording.

[march10k]

I just looked at C:I in my iPhone, doesn't seem to be updated :(  Is there some way to check, or to force an update?  Santic is clearly NOT listed in mine...the word doesn't even come up.

[Kenderleech]

"INCLUDING INQUISITORS IN YOUR ARMY

The Inquisitorial Detachment shown here can be included as part of any Battle-forged army."

 

 

"INQUISITORIAL ALLIES

Units from the Inquisition army list are part of the Armies of the Imperium and ally as such as described in the Allies section of Warhammer 40,000: The Rules."

 

 

So you can be battle forged with inquisition.

 

You get the warlord trait reroll if it is your primary.  But they can no longer be your warlord if they are Not your primary.  

[Ozshock]

sounds like the easy way to update your copy of the codex is to go to the black library and re-download it...im assuming its free if youve already payed for it?

 

and they should have put a notice up saying that these things have changed...not just let everyone assume that the codex they bought and payed for, without an FAQ i might add, is still up to date and legitimate

[Kenderleech]

On the other hand... if "battleforged" and "as long as you are the same faction, and filling minimum FoC each time, go nuts" wind up being the same thing, you can make an entire army of inquisitors.  

[Gentlemanloser]

Is there no restriction on Inquisitorial Detachments being Primary?

 

If not, I second that you can therefore make a legit Battle Forged army of nothing by HQ slot Inquisitors.

 

lol

 

That 28 Inq List in TDA with Psycannons is a go!

[Ozshock]

pretty sure you can only take one inquis on his own lol will have to check on that one :P

[Kilofix]

Can you take just one single Inquisitor as an Allied Detachment?
