Inquisition and guard

[InquisitorM41]

Well, it has always been the inquisitions well being to employ a few guard squads....or just go to a planet, take as many as they want then go and use them for there work and cleanse all the evil of the universe, but what makes a good allied inuqisition force with guardsmen......tanks and squads with heavy weapons. Thats right...
THis is best when the points are more than 500. And best work when at 1500+

to start have a good daemonhunter HQ with an inquisitor lord and tleast 5 henchmen. this allows you to flex the inquisitors abilities and bring a few suprises aswell. Also that could help is a regular inquisitor to accompany the guards main HQ. he would mainly act as an advisor, so if the suqad dies and there is the IG comm. left, then they would both become individual chars.

with the ig HQ...justa reg IG HQ....WITHOUT PSYKERS!!!!!!!commissars and Preists are fine.....


with elite...well....its up to you...but a smal 3 grey knight termi squad will do....

but with troops...this is aittle more difficult. you would need atleast one or maybe 2 squads of grey knights....2 10 man squads are kick ass...but for now...a good 8 man squad would be good too. 1 justicar, one with incenerator and one with psycannon.


now with the added nowledge that storm troopers are good use, 2 ten man squads with both a melta and a flamer. this will add more coverage for your inquisitor lord and his termies to go into battle with fewer scares.

so that leaves us with 3 troop slots left.

fill those up wiuth guards.... one HQ then 3 squads.....each squad holding HB, a vox, a melta or flame thrower.

2 slots left....
the next the same...but instead of heavy bolters, lets put rocket launchers out there, just to addan extra punch......same meltas or flamers, and a vox as always...

that will leave one slot left....now...you can use it if you want...but in this case, lets not...save the points for fast attack....

Now with fast attack...you have guard...so obviously your goin to incorperate 2 sents...but lets not...instead...lets add a good old grey knight squad to teleport in with 2 psycannons....6 man team this time.....

and also maybe a hell houd, to keep busy and flame some of those troops that get to...roudy.

now with heavy suport, its limited....A purgation squad would be good, but also the needed fact that a leman russ would also be good. but to save points. take the tank with heavy bolter sponsons and also a heavy bolter in the hull.

so there you have it. A good allied inqui. army and Imp army..though i know this may be more than 2000. THis will bring a good diverse force onto the field, but it will also have a few drawbacks if played in correctly. And yes, there i s awrong way to playing certain armies like guard(a massive guard rush against an eldar held position*done that personally...but got out cleanly*))

[Plisken]

When you say a regular ig hq, do you mean a heroic senior officer? or just a junior officer? War gear at all for this loyal imperial soldier?

[InquisitorM41]

Yes. The main IG HQ should have a heroic senior officer, but also a medallion crimson or a machurian cross.

With the other HQ's...junior wise....but also, an auto cannon or a missile launcher would be fun to add with them

[experiment 626]

what army is the 'parent' list? if its a daemonhunter w/inducted ig, then you can't take the guard HQ for example... while allied daemonhunters cannot choose from the heavy support section. (so no allied purgation squad!)

it should also be pointed out that mixing special weapons isn't the best idea, especially with inquisitorial storm troopers who are no better than their guard counterparts... (in fact, i rate the inq storm troopers as worse because they don't get the special deployment options!)
specialise your squads and pair up your weapons... an anti-tank & anti-infantry gun in the same squad means one's going to get wasted...

cheers!
