She gets hated on a lot but I think she's really cool, like that pocket knife your dad got you and you've always wanted to use it but just never had the chance? That's what I think Inquisitor Valeria is; she's a tool kit character with a trick for every situation but not very survivable. If you're interested I'd like your help building her a custom list just so I can put her on the battle field and make use of all the delicious little toys she carries. Any takers?

I've always found her to be fun.

In my last game with her she jumped out of her Crusader And Graviton Pistoled a Maulerfiend into the Ground.

Karmazov, Valeria, Stern, and Thawn all fall into the category of fun but not competitive.

Love the flavor, but shes pretty bad. T3 and 3+ save is pretty meh for 140 points (considering inquisitors are 33 points with these stats). Her grav pistol is cute, but rarely used because shes probably in a unit. Her Labyrinth is cool, but only useful in melee which rarely happens. Shes also pretty terrible at taking out generic infantry, with ~6 S3 attacks.

If she was in the inqusition mini-codex, maybe she would be useful. But in the GK codex there are so many HQs that mesh with the army more.

Isnt she the one that was deleted?

...no model.

I'd have to concur. toughness 3 without eternal warrior and/or a 2+ armor save is pretty bad for 140 points. Also her wargears' effects are haphazard and hard to apply effectively a lot of the time.

She seems like she's a cool inquisitor, but unfortunately her rules and point cost just don't work for what she can effectively add to an army.

When looking at her I always think...but a malleus inquisitor in terminator armor with a psycannon prescience and a force sword is still cheaper.

Yup. So is Coteaz, for that matter.

She's cool but useless. Figures, GW makes a female character, but then makes her useless and then gets rid of her.
Just make a generic inquisitor and use a female figure. That's what I did. I got a Xenos Inquisitor.

Ye gods and daemons, your inquisitor went at bit radical did she? nice model.

not too radical, just a needle pistol and scythian talons. But she does love her job.

Since all the Inquisitors got put into codex Inquisition and she did not make it into there , would she be in the new grey knight codex? It would seem off. Isn't she gone forever?

High probably that they wont. considering a lot of entries for nids got gutted because they lacked models.

I suspect the inquisitors will be yanked from the grey knight codex altogether, given they now have their own shiny new codex to reside in. Who really knows though.

I really hope not, I was looking forward to running five Xenos Inquisitors in one legal army.

It's just a hunch. If the past is any guide, what we'll see is a bunch of over-costed new HQs instead, with one blatantly overpowered unique for folk to snap up, typically one that makes a previously underutilized unit choice so much better that folk want to buy a bunch of those too.

True that, well either way I'll be happy to see it happen, especially if I can get more use out of my interceptors.
