Well it wasn't as fast as Petre's rundown but my review is now up for anyone who is interested: http://www.talkwargaming.com/2013/11/review-codex-inquisition.html

Also, bloody feck that's a lot of stuff in the wargear!

Weird, Coteaz and Karamazov don't have set Warlord Traits.

Yes they do. Coteaz has Daemonhunter and Karamazov has Witch Hunter.

**Happygrunt**

So, I was tossing around this unit idea. For something cheapish, you can do three acolytes with storm shields and a priest (armed to taste).

Get in combat and let the rerollable 3++ roll.

**Kirasu**

Makes me think there is an unacceptable build up of Coteaz models in the warehouse that must be bought..

Yes, it's a cut and paste. It has some new stuff in it and some tweaks. It is exactly like C:AS in that regard, mostly cut and paste and some new stuff on top. No one should be surprised.

Adepta Sororitas was much more substantial revision. I think it was exactly because I was so positively surprised by the effort they had put in C:AS, that made me expect much more from this Inquisition thing.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't think this is supposed to be a big change. I think the rumors of codexes meant to be allies are finally coming true and then next GK codex is going to drop all the Inquisition stuff.

Wow. Nice review. Seems like this codex will mostly be used to stick Inquisitors with other units from other armies for nice Battle Brother shenanigans.

**pretre**

Missed that Coteas has daemon hunter. Is that the PE one?

Thanks! And I agree.

I'd have to look again, but I think it's Hatred actually.

**pretre**

Gives IG cheap Divination now. Level 1 Inq with Div is 55. You can get 2 for allies for any Imperial list.

Oh and Coteaz has PE: Daemons.

**ClockworkZion**

I stand corrected! Teach me to not go back and look!

Two with spending NO points on anything else! Just two Inquisitors! That's really good.

**schadenfreude**

Hmmm wonder what happens when GK/AS/Inquisition ally as 2 of them are bb and 2 are allies of convenience. Can GK and AS units join an inquisition unit at the same time?

**pretre**

Yep, no points and nothing else.

It is probably based on the squad you're joining.

So an SOB character and a GK character could join an Inq Henchman squad. But a Inq character and GK character could not join a SOB squad. (Inq character could though)

**schadenfreude**

Or better yet Logan and Azrael both joining an inquisition unit with Coteaz as he makes them both climb into the giant inquistioral get along shirt.

**pretre**

Space Wolves shouldn't have been BB with Inquisition.

**schadenfreude**

Shut up and climb in the get along shirt.

What are the codex-specific psychic powers? No one mentioned those.

They're in the Grey Knights codex. Same powers in the Inq one.

**schadenfreude**

Paladins or regular GK termies with a 2+ invo staff+ inquisitor grenade caddy + priest with shred + priest for rerolls of invos/armor saves in cc=Hard counter for a CC army. Shooting armies can still light it up, but all CC armes can do is try to avoid it.

So "Hammerhand or Psychic Communion"? Are they still restricted to level 1? Ravenor would have been at least a level 2 on the tabletop goddamnit.

**schadenfreude**

TEQ unit is from inquisition codex, priest form AS.

Inquisition priests aren't ICs they are part of the henchman squad. So no BB IC priests for GK.

**CrimsonFilth**

Am I missing something or are there no rules for the psyber-eagle?

**xruslanx**

Still, 55 points for an Inquisitor with Hammerhand to give an IG blob S4 thanks to Hammerhand. Plus you get Ld 10 stubborn, meaning you don't need a commissar.

That may have been possible before but now I can take them without a troop tax.

**MrFlutterPie**

I own the Grey Knight codex can somebody give me a page number for "Psychic Communion" power? I can not for the life of me find it.

Does inquisition still have access to any GK TEQ under their own force org charts?

Page 23 I believe.

I noticed that too. Have to check the GK codex for rules.

Thank you I didn't think to check the brother captain entry.

I hate the way 5ed codexs are set up. Give me the 3ed codex set up any day

**Kazzigum**

Quick couple questions for those in the know.

1. Does the Daemonblade specify that it must be a sword?

2. For Inquisitors, if you choose to use pyskic powers from the main rulebook, which schools are available?
