Inquisitorial Detachment:

Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor with Psycoculum, 3 servo skulls and mastery level 1 (divination) 89
Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor with Liber Heresius and Mastery level 1 (divination) 70

11 Acolytes - 9 bolters and 3 plasma guns and one psyker 92
11 Acolytes - 9 bolters and 3 plasma guns and one psyker 92
11 Acolytes - 9 bolters and 3 plasma guns and one psyker 92

The plan is to ignore as much of the opponent's force as possible (e.g. fliers, anti tank weapons). the inquisitors are there to lead the two main infantry blobs (but they will separate depending on opponent - don't want any wraithknights jumping in to tie them up all game!), There are 173 bodies on the table, and I know it might be a little impractical to play, but could be a fun list that could mess up some of the low-model-count top tier lists?

Think you can only have 5 infantry squads per platoon. Question why ordo malleus? A lot of daemon players at local shop?

Ok, I've updated the post, changed the inquisitors to ordo hereticus and given them some cool kit!

Can acolytes still get plasma guns in the new codex? I'm assuming they're the same as the GK one...

I like the idea of a psycoculum blob - 25 lasguns and 4 autocannons at BS10 and with first rank fire, second rank fire should be fun! The other one should be able to split fire and have prescience thanks to the other inquisitor too

May as well find 9pts for 3 servo skulls, for one of your inquisitors. 9pts to eliminate enemy scout and infiltrate.. Yes please!

Lol, just noticed I was around 100pts short of the points total - So 3 servo skulls are easy enough to fit in! I spent the points on more grenades for the infantry blobs and added a lone psyker to each henchmen warband to have a bonus S3 large blast per turn.

Could this give any top tier lists a run for their money?

Conscripts are either max or none honestly because you give the platoon chenkov and send in an endless stream of one hundred guardsmen every 2 turns. It is a tarpit from hell. Also FRFSRF is a nifty way to get about 45 or so lasgun shots out a turn. Its terrifying at under 12" with roughly 60 shots hitting a turn.

You are 20 points shy of good guard squads with conscripts unless you plan on boosting them with prescience I would drop them for lots of special weapons.

Blobs are horribly ineffective as well. I throw out 2 sacrificial units and your front line is tied up. yeah their dead but I get the charge next turn and you are pretty much wiped out. Break them up and I never had uses for sergeants with axes as I felt the points were far better elsewhere.

I did think about adding chenkov and boosting their numbers, but it seemed to me that I may already have enough las shots, so I was going to use them as a meat shield for my main infantry to advance behind. Maybe attaching a psycocculum inquisitor to them would be a good idea, I like the idea of BS10 stubborn conscripts...

I didnt think that horde guard is really all that competitive now, with all the large blast d going around.
