Hey folks.
New user, relatively new wargamer. Would love some input on an army idea.
I currently play Blood Angels but I am looking to purchase a Grey knights army because a friend quit and sold his army, and gave me his old codex
I wanted something different and I am a huge fan of the Eisenhorn/Ravenor books, So i wanted to focus to be more on inquisitors than Grey knights themselves
My local Club usually plays 1250-1500 games, so this is what i came up with (want to plan out the army before I start purchasing models.)

As a side note: Because the Acolytes are in Power armour and have bolters for the most part, I plan to use Dark-angels Vets as my Power armoured acolytes. Black power armour, red robes, and possibly Deathwatch shoulders. May sound Odd But i would argue its a case of "What you see is what you get", since the only difference in these guys and the standard Space marine is stat line. War-gear wise they would LOOK the same. at least that is how i see it, So i wouldn't call it a "Proxy" So much as "Well GW don't appear to sell Acolyte-in-power-armour models, so this is as close as it gets"

I would drop 6 PA out of each of those Squads and put the squad in a Chimera. that still leaves PA for the front line guys and protects them all from blasts.

Also w/ Coteaz I would add a Crusader in that squad and stick him next to Coteaz (base contact at all times) that means you can look out sir any IDs to the crusader w/ a 3++.

I like the Flamer way better on the DK as it ignores cover but the silencer does have better range.

Did you ever consider getting another cheap Inq. w/ level 1 powers. Put 2 Jokearo and 3 servitors w/ Plasma cannons w/ him very strong. rerolling gets hot and PC scatter if you want.

I don't see except in rare circumstances what the melta bombs are going to do for you. Drop them down to 0,1, or 2.

I might drop down to 1 Jokearo per squad since he can only snap fire the las cannon if they move. Those squads you have are mobile.

Should combine the points costs to only the total cost of each unit.

PA gets expensive and mostly carapace armor should be good enough and with the points saved you could get them a nice ride. edit: but if you must then its ok just dont forget they are not spees mharines

I agree with the above statement as well.

also melta bombs are per model, so it will be 50 points.

and lastly make room for a vindicator assassin, there is no reason not to take one.

A Vindi in a bastion is really nice over the DK.

Oh I see that is only 1 melta bomb. I'd prob dump it.

You might want to drop the DK too and get 2 auto cannon Dreadnoughts w/ psybolt ammo. That would do a lot more shooting and at higher strength. I would try both. A walking DK w/o a teleporter I just haven't liked them my self.
