Full Inquisitorial 1850

[Toppan]

40K Army: Daemonhunters

So I have been convinced to start a new army from my circle of friends, and after a LONG debate, I've decided on Grey Knights, but going full inquisitorial. First, the list.

Another list. This one is better, I think

Inquisitor Lord Coteaz

Ordo Xenos Inquisitor
-Force Sword
-Rad Grenades
-Psyker (Hammerhand)
-Digital Weapons

Vindicare Assassin

Henchman Group 1
6x Death Cult Assassins
6x Crusaders

Henchman Group 2
6x Death Cult Assassins
5x Crusaders
Chimera

Henchman Group 3
2x Jokearo Weaponsmiths
3x Warrior Acolytes with Meltaguns
7x Warrior Acolytes with Bolters

Henchman Group 4
2x Jokearo Weaponsmiths
3x Warrior Acolytes with Meltaguns
7x Warrior Acolytes with Bolters

Henchman Group 5
2x Jokearo Weaponsmiths
3x Warrior Acolytes with Plasma Guns
7x Warrior Acolytes with Bolters

Henchman Group 6
2x Jokearo Weaponsmiths
3x Warrior Acolytes with Plasma Guns
7x Warrior Acolytes with Bolters

Dreadnought 1
2x Twin Linked Autocannons
Psybolt Ammunition

Dreadnought 2
2x Twin Linked Autocannons
Psybolt Ammunition

Land Raider Crusader

1848 Pts

Coteaz will ride in the Crusader with Group 1. Xeno will ride with Group 2 in the Chimera. The rest will set up in cover and blast away. It is very cut and dry. Very plain. I wonder if theres a way to make it more "fun" but keep it kinda the same.

Revised the list, it had a lot of problems.


Inquisitor Lord Coteaz
100

Ordo Malleus Inquisitor
Hellrifle
40

Henchman Group 1
6x Death Cult Assassins
6x Crusaders
220

Henchman Group 2
6x Death Cult Assassins
6x Crusaders
220

Henchman Group 3
1x Jokearo Weaponsmiths
3x Warrior Acolytes with Meltaguns
8x Warrior Acolytes with Hot Shot Lasguns
149

Henchman Group 4
1x Jokearo Weaponsmiths
3x Warrior Acolytes with Meltaguns
8x Warrior Acolytes with Hot Shot Lasguns
149

Henchman Group 5
3x Servitors with Plasma Cannons
Chimera with Multilaser and Heavy Bolter
115

Henchman Group 6

Chimera with Multilaser and Heavy Bolter

Stormraven

205

Stormraven
Twin Linked Multimeltas
Twin Linked Plasma Cannons

Assault squads go in the storm ravens, inquisitors babysit the servitors, the rest of them set up somewhere in cover and mow down everything. Dreads can either get flown in by a stormraven closer or they can sit back and shoot. Thoughts?

Hellrifle OMI and servitors are fine, but I think you'd be better off with hull mounted heavy flamers on their chimeras. Sure, I understand why you're going for heavy bolters, but I think you'll end up going with the flamers like everyone else after you've played a few games, especially if you play on a proper board with a good 25% cover.

Hotshot lasguns were worse in most situations than storm bolters (and more expensive) under 5th edition rules - check them out thoroughly under the new 6th ed rules. You may find storm bolters are still superior, if not more superior (except at very short range) when wielded by BS 3 henchmen against MEQ (AP3 T4).

I have a feeling that meltagun henchmen may be outdone, or could be very much enhanced in their effectiveness, by meltabomb henchmen, due to the new assaulting-vehicles rules. I was always a fan of meltabomb henchmen, but I think 6th Edition will have buffed them. Haven't got the rulebook yet though, damn postal service.

The Jokaeros don't mesh very well with the mobile henchmen, as their weapons are mostly Heavy.

On the whole, I don't think you have enough anti-fast-vehicle ability (ie. something with a long range eg. autocannons).

Since this I have updated my list time and time again. Let me know what you guys think. I got rid of some crap I didn't like, and decided a theme, sort of. An inquisitor sanctioned PDA, of sorts.

Have the Inquisitors ride with the CC Henchies in the Land Raiders, while their razorback acts as a light tank with its s7 Assault cannon, to pester the enemy mostly. The Henchies ride forward with their storm bolters and meltaguns, pew pewing away. I kept the Jokearo for added goodness of rending or +12" range. I may or may not swap one squad to have Plasma. A decent squad size to bunker in at an objective. Dreadnaught provides covering fire, though at this point I don't know why I include him, as he's the only stationary model in the army, but Psyflemen are too good to pass up. With every theorylist I build, the more I learn about this army. I know a lot of people swear by Psykers in rhinos, or some such, but I honestly don't like them at all.

Might want to have that Xenos Inquisitor swinging a Force Axe for Ap2 in the unit. Or you could have crusaders doing it, I suppose (of course, this is mostly a case of modelling).

It's also damn near always giving your Redeemer a multi-melta. Power of the Machine Spirit means you'll always be firing it, at a different target if you wish.
