It has been pretty effective in small games with my friends (primarily Eldar and Space Wolves, with some Imperial Guard thrown in there for good measure). I don't think that this will be very effective for competitive play, so I obviously want to change that. Thanks.

I prefer to have Incinerators in any squad that will be deep striking. The Psycannon is a nice weapon but it is much better at taking out targets at long range. When you drop int right next to your opponent with the Grey Knight have that incinerator hit almost all the models in the squad is well worth it. Also with the points from down grading to the incinerators you should be able to get teleport homers in your 2 storm trooper squads. This is something I would highly suggest.

Cool, I'll give it a try. Also, I've heard that the typical "Kyoto-Pattern" Inquisitor squad I'm fielding is slowly phasing out due to high vulnerability. My question would be: what can take its place and still be effective? Terminator squads are really expensive for 1500 point games and assassins just don't have the killy dakka goodness of a Plasma Cannon that gets to re-roll misses....
