Is pure inquisiton workable?

[Thedarkprincesnun]

Hey guys I'm just wondering is a pure inquisiton army workable or do I need to add it on to another army?

It's not a full codex so is missing a fair few things. You could run it alone but won't find much variety in role to be had so I'd say it's best to use it as an allied force as intended. It depends on your meta, you won't be topping any tournaments but you could have some fun casual games with a pure Inquisition force :)

Also, some tournaments restrict you to one Inquisitorial detachment per army, which is kinda sad as it's difficult to get up to 1500+ with one detachment, unless you run 3 Land Raiders.

 

Then again, two detachments can bring up to six Valkyries, so.

[Kenderleech]

of course, if they allow unlimited detachments, you can build an army of nothing but inquisitors.

I always saw inquisitional warbands as kill team type forces. Originally rogue trader 40k was more role playing game than it is now and inquisitional warbands fit neatly into that fluffy story driven type of gaming.

Which may or may not be fun, actually hahahaha

 

Equip each Inquisitor differently and watch the bookkeeping nightmare! :D :D :D

 

But in my head it's badass. Here's a bunch of guys and girls good at different things. Let them lose and see how they handle an army.

 

Your shooting phase is going to suck haha

 

I'm doing this when I get a chance. Time to model up them Inquisitors

If you do this every inquisitorial retinue needs three things;

 

1. A member of the unit with a banner describing why their methods are better than anyone else's

 

2. Every inquisitorial retinue needs to be in a Valkyrie just so you can play rise of the Valkyries as you start the battle and on every firing run past that...Dun da da duun dunn!

 

3. Give every opponent you every play with said army a list of reasons why an Inquisitorial conclave was created just to destroy them on the battlefield and declare their heresy. If they win, call for Exterminatus.

As suggested by others, pure inquisition is difficult, but doable. Probably will not be the most effective, though, since the list is not intended to be stand-alone.

 

It is very fun and flavourful though.

By itself it's very difficult to get a good Inq army list, throw in fortifications and an imperial Knight and you have a killer army :)

 

You could try 3 units made up of 2 Crusaders, 2 Priests and 8 Jokaero for 380pts a shot. Find some nice cover for them and have 8 lascannon/melta/flamers shoot the enemy to hell whilst the crusader tanks the hits.
