Blog Entries: 1  |  longer chance of living inqusitor with henchmen and a good firepower output okay so you take an inquisitor (any configuration) and stick him with the following 3 acolytes, power armor, bolter, targeter, krak genades 69 pts and any other henchmen you choose. this gives him the acolyte special rules (taking wounds for him) which have a higher chance of saving those wounds and they also have a good fire output.

| interesting. i've seen a similar configuration of acolytes where they have storm shields, which is nice too cause of their rules. and cool conversion opportunities too. hmmm...sad though, acolytes make for such great fluff lines, and yet they are better cannon fodder ! XD haha -ant

| meh, im fine with my setup: inq w/ storm bolter, 3 HB servitors, sage because they will almost never get into close combat, he doesnt need acolytes to be cannon fodder. the sage does that just fine....plus, people almost never shoot at my inquisitor, cause theyre too focused on the sisters or the LRC in their face. |

Blog Entries: 1 | the set up with stormshield acolytes is a good one for big gribbly hunting. 3 acolytes with storm shields, 3 combat servitors and an inqie with a thunder hammer. BOSH!! job done  alternatively give em storm bolters and add them to dan's squad for even more shots. throw in a mystic and put the hurt on those rubber hawks!

Blog Entries: 1 | swooping hawks who use the skyleap exarch power every turn. they're like a rubber ball. boooiiinngg! ahem...sorry basically they deepstrikes onto the table, bringing a large ordinance blast with them, and then use the skyleap power to remove themselves from the table before the enemy get a chance to shoot them. its incredable broke and utterly cheesy, but it's allowed.

  | I hate it when the swooping hawks do that! It is so very annoying! Has anyone come up with an effective way of dealing with that?

| Are we just supposed to hope the person doing it is either tactically inept and places them somewhere that they can kill themselves? Or are we supposed to cover the entire board?

| haha back on topic indeed..but nice segue. that was excellent XD. i know i'm crazy, but i'm using inquisitor lord w/ psycannon+CCW 1 acolyte, armor+storm bolter 2 warriors-1 plasma-cannon,1 -gun 2 sages 1 mystic Yay for high BS and double yay for rerolling misses with all these big, nasty, potentially painful weapons! haha. while i do like the whole CC inquisitor thing, i'd prefer to keep the inquisitor far away, and shooting the crap out of things that are preoccupied with my mass marine army XD haha

anyhoo, as for the acolyte meatshield, keep in mind that it does have it's drawback too! as the majority save is more likely to be 3+, you'll lose your more costly models that much sooner, plus you're putting your inquisitor lord/inquisitor at risk too if he has power armour! (that 4th hit *must* hit him if he still has a 3+ save!) personally, i go for 1 or 2 power armoured acolytes, but i like to keep my majority save in the 4+ range - still get a save against basic weapons, but my killy, nasty inquisitor is good and safe! cheers!
