LVO Narrative help

[Sume]

Greetings everyone,

I am trying to figure out a list to use for the LVO narrative double events.  So not looking for over the top power and all.  I am partnering up with a friend that's using Space marines.  Forgot the detachment he is using.  It's the one where everything gets better if it's a heavy weapon and has not moved.  He's looking to hold home objectives and help with long range support.  I am at a toss-up on 4 variants of a list.  It's based on what I own or need to paint.  I do have some more options expect nothing that's penitent host atm.  Expect 1 penitent engine.  Wish I had some more though as that be an option too.  One thing that I want to stay in the list is an Inquisitor.  I have access to one in terminator armor too, with a psyccannon I made out of Inquisitor Rex years ago.  Expect I really want to use the special limited edition one that came with the launch of Witchhunters.  I do realize it is hurting my list building. I have Greyfax but for narrative I wanted to go with generic guys even if Greyfax is technically better.  The inquisitor will be attached to a battle sister squad in 3 of these lists.  I am trying to figure out which one looks the best and with the recent miracle dice nerf I am not sure what to do.  My half of the force is meant to be fire power and a rapid response force.

I feel like List #1 or List #2 with #2 being my go to list.

Thanks.  I know the 4 lists are pretty similar.  I tried to juggle things around to get an exacation squad with an inquisitorial chimera since I have both painted up.  My friend gave me the Imperial Agents combat patrol after he couldnt list what he wanted into his guard.  As I asked about the priest and assassin in it if he didnt want them.

I am well aware the inquisitor is a weak point and sucking points I could spend else were expect he has never hit the tabletop and I felt for narrative play he's going to finally be there.  Also based a cosplay off him.

I had list paralysis as I never done narrative before and trying to take into account that the space marine list is a bunch of big guns, missiles and hard to move troops.  Tried to design around trying to deal with hordes too.  Looks like the simple list cut off that I am planning to use Army of Faith.  Guess the gear gives it away too though.  Originally was going to do bringers of flame but the latest nerf I was like well I have 8 boxes of serphaim so lets load up on the kit. Also really wanted the sacrants with a hospitaller and a palatine but if I am reading things right, thats an invalid combo.  

Weapon loadouts is flamers where I can get them.  With the warsuits geared for anti-tank duty.  I like the idea of being able to redeploy the jump pack units.  Also, the 1 -2 rhinos make me feel like their big gun targets but guess if there are 3 ballistic dreadnaughts those will probably draw more fire.

You can take a Palatine, Hospitaller and Sacresants in a squad

Maybe I am missing something.  I double checked and this is what I got off New Recruit and also what I found in the printed book.  Unless its in a FAQ I have missed.

This model can be attached to a Battle Sisters Squad, even if one Canoness, Palatine, Junith Eruita, or Aestred Thurga unit has already been attached to it. If you do, and that Bodyguard unit is destroyed, the Leader units attached to it become separate units, with their original Starting Strengths.

Ya I mean I went, and triple checked with the book.  New Recruit and even looked through the FAQs.  All the leaders that are not Canoness, and Palatine, Junith Eurita or Aestred Thurga all say only Battle Sister Squads if one of those are present.  Guess they don't want cool things like a Hospitaler keeping a unit of Sacrants alive while getting lethal hits from the Palatine if they're using the halberd.  Which is how I built mine.
