With the release of Codex: IG I have restarted building my Witch hunters army. Here is how it will be:

Code: Select all

OH Inquisitor Lord 258 Pts
Psycannon Bolts; Psychic Hood; Rosarius; Plasma Pistol; Bolter.
Henchmen:
Familiar
2 Sages
3 Veteran Guardsmen with Plasmaguns
Chimera with two heavy Flamers

This squad will spend most of it's time doing drive-bys on M.C.'s, wait that didn't come out right.

Code: Select all

OM Inquisitor Lord 212 Pts
Terminator Armour; Null Rod; Psycannon.
Henchmen:
Sage
2 Mystics
3 Gun Servitors with Heavy Bolters

This squad has two jobs one is to move to a good firing point and shred light infantry. The other is to use its two Mystics to direct fire onto anything that deepstrikes.

Code: Select all

6 Arco-Flagellants 210 Pts

Daemonhost 85 Pts

These two just kill whatever comes near.

Code: Select all

5 Inquisitorial Stormtroopers 145 Pts
2 Meltaguns
Priest
Rhino

5 Inquisitorial Stormtroopers 105 Pts
2 Meltaguns
Rhino

The Inq troopers in Rhinos act like Duel Melta Razorbacks hunting vehicles. The Priest has one function; to unlock the Arcos then die.

Code: Select all

Platoon Command 100 Pts
Autocannon, Grenade Launcher x2
Commander Chenkov
Chimera 55 Pts

Infantry Squad 65 Pts
Autocannon
Sniper Rifle

Infantry Squad 60 Pts
Autocannon

Chenkov is there to use Move! Move! Move! to speed up the Arcos and to help fleeing units Get back in the fight!. He also has the added bonus of making anyone within 12" stubborn which is always useful.

Code: Select all

Exorcist 135 Pts

Orbital Lance Strike 70 Pts

And last but not lest, my heavy support, the Exorcist is there as it's got one of the beat weapons in the game and the Lance Strike can be plotted to any objective marker in the enemies side/corner.

Note: all Inq vehicles use the new costs in IA vol II.

Feel free to share any comments or criticism.

Would a plasma cannon be better in the OM inquisitors retinue to catch bunched deepstrikers under it's blast marker?

On a personal note I think that including Chenkov and the exorcist are a bit dodgy rules wise, but I'm not going to get into any arguments over that.

It looks fine to me, Chenkov is a platoon upgrade (troops) and as it is a witch hunters army, the excorcist is fine (it's not illegally coming in from another list).

I like the look of it, tbh!

Its to do with that the exorcist is crewed by battle sisters, and sisters like allying less than DA do.
So when you use the chenkov run run you'll be being fluffy and for every 6 removing an arco right?

The only issue I see you having with anyone when using this list is the IA costing for the vehicles, a few may insist on you using the codex costs and that'll mean having to drop something to fit them in.

Arcos on lose a machine-man on a Holy Rage roll of six which they can do in addition to running.
Also if they run faster, I can turn their stimms on later, so they don't kill themselves as much.

As for the exorcist, I will be using the FW MkIId Sanctorum pattern which isn't as holy as the Mars pattern "pipe organ" one.

They overdose on 6s for atacks to.. if its a random it can overheat for them(fluff not rules ) Meh fluff wise avoiding stims by going cross codex is like making sure your beserkers shoot bolters to not assualt,(of which it must be said I was kind of in favour off, but everyone else smacked me down for) give in to the rage rather than cross codex preventing it

I'm not against the list, I just think some bits of it would convey something that isn't actually there to your detriment.
I still prefer the sheer silliness of penitents
I'll play against it, even if it tastes like iguana
