I have finally given MSU a chance, and really liked it. I was thinking of starting a second army, it being A inquisitorial force with Coteaz. I was hoping some of you guys could give me some pointers or ideas that are popular with the Coteaz and henchmen lists. Thanks for any ideas/tips given.

How many points? Also, how strict on inquision units do you want to be?

A true inquision list is very hard to do because you only get 2 HQ and 6 troop slots.

Coteaz 100
Inq of choice, ~100 points
6 Chimeras 330
2 Shooty squads of 2 Jokero, 3 MM servitors, 6 stormbolter acos 284
4 Battle type units of 9 DCA/crusader mix 3 melta acos 708

That comes out to bit more than 1500 points. You can cut back some upgrades to make it 1500 without too much issue, but more than 1500 gets tricky.

The main question Coteaz and who's the other HQ. I have used Coteaz and Morduak, to me a great one two combo. In a 2000 points, you could have 2 stormraven three dreadnoughts, Vindi assissan, Tech marine, and have 5 troops selection. Morduak and his Ghost Terminators are a pain in the ass, DS first turns and doesn't scatter. Great way of gettin rid of longfangs or anything that can give you a problem. The other great thing is that RB are really cheap with Coteaz army....only 92 points for a 4 troops and a RB w/TLC.

This will be at 2k points, possible 2500. I want to only use Inquisitors, i'd perfer to keep the GK guys with the GK. I know Coteaz is a must, i would like possibly another Inquis. I will for sure have 3 "psyfledreads" for sure, simply unsure which type (Ven or regular) I would like maybe a Dreadknight on the table (as im modeling on in a Inquisitorial theme) Is it insane to have 3-5 jokero sitting back lobbing Las cannon shots? I for sure am going to run 2 squads of DCA and Crusaders. i don't want to dump a ton of points into a transport for them.. but only Stormravens and Land raiders have the assault ability. The meat of the army is going to be cheepy warriors with bolters (MAYBE stormbolters) possibly have them as msu not sure yet. Those are some of the ideas tumbling in my head so far.

For 135 points Heavy Dreadnoughts or do you want to paid 175 for Ven Dreadnoughts. Stormraven are a must if you going to use DCA. Able to move 24 and still shot a weapon is great. DreadKnight in a pure Inq list, really doesn't fit. All it is a heavy taking up a slot. The other problem I have with warrior is their dam BS 3.....now I know how Tau players feel. If you are going to use and all Inq, must should that you bring the one that has the all the BS generade.

To keep your dreads looking like they belong in an Inq army, you could use imp. guard sentinels. Deck em out with 2 twin-linked auto cannons, and they will be about the same size. Making them look like Venerable Dreadnaught/sentinels can be a fun modeling project. More Banners! More Gold!

I'm a big fan of DCA's in Land raiders. Redeemer or Cursader, since this will give your DCA's much needed grenades when they charge out of the thing. Buuuut, if Landraiders hurt your MSU list, you could always do a Death Cult Assassin Cult: 5 units of 5-9 DCA's with 2-3 Meltagun weilding warriors rolling in Rhinos. Those 5 units can kill anything. Shore it up with a Shooty henchmen squad (Jokarro, Serviters, Warriors with guns) for Cortez to roll with, and lots of Dreadnaughts. Ignore your Fast Attack slot choices and you're gold.

there is a link to a henchmen article in my signature.
