Frater Cornelius Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Now, the way I play my blob is pure aggressiveness. I have 30-40 dudes, Plasmas, ACs, a Priest, maybe a second one. They can Scout, Counter-Attack, have Yarrick in there and Coteaz with his Hammer, as well as Melta Bombs. Coteaz will usually be rolling on Biomancy (Endurance is king, but the rest is also good; Iron Arm makes him a solid tank, Enfeeble makes Lasguns more awesome, Life Leech allows him to heal one of the three dudes in the Blob, Warp Speed makes him choppier). I will be trying to get into close combat more often than not, seeing as I have good choppa and will be able to overwhelm most enemy units with sheer manliness. There are two options I see as benefitial for that blob: 1. Ordo Malleus with TDA, Nemesis Hammer, Psycannon This guy adds four more S7 shots to the unit which spams S7, which can be Rending, so that is awesome. He is also a prime target for Split Fire order. He adds a third S6 AP2 weapon and a second force weapon into the unit and has a 2+ to tank some shots. 2. Ordo Xenos with Rad and Psy Stroke Grenades. This Inquisitor has no ranged bonus or solid melee, but he bring the two best Grenades. -1T goes a long way and Psy Stroke can seriously hinder the enemy. He is also 25pts cheaper, even 40pts if I just pick Rad Grenades. Note that both options include 3 Skulls, the Liber Heresius and ML1 (to roll on Divination for that Prescience goodness, since Coteaz has Biomancy). Thoughts?

Centurio Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Don't underestimate the psyocculum on a 50 man blob. I have used a 2nd inquisitor with that thing. FRSRF + psyocculum against a unit with a psyker in it is hilarious. I also evaporated a daemon Prince with lasguns.

Frater Cornelius Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Too situational for my tastes. I will not give up my second INQ HQ slot for something, that will not help me most of the time.

WarriorFish Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Option 2 would be my choice, TDA is nice but I'd rather be able to run down hapless foes after combat. Plus cheaper is better for Inquisitors I reckon :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312590-inquisitor-for-blob-support/#findComment-4151012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Aye, cheap and cheerful. I really like that extra force weapon though. However, between saving on the INQ and Sponsons, I can get some more goodies in there. If not for the ranged pressure he bring, I would definitely say OX. As of right now, I need to decide whether a Psycannon and Force weapon are worth the mark-up.
