So a shooty list with drop podding assault distraction:

Imperial Fists
Chapter master
AA, SE, PF, Bike

Bike squad
5 man
2 grav, combi grav

Scouts
5 snipers

5 devestators
4 lascannons

5 devestators
4 lascannons

5 devestators
4 mls with flak

BA
Libby (with Death co)
Force axe, shield of sanguinius, fear of darkness

Assault squad
Flamer, 2 hand flamers
Pod

Death company
9 man
Bolters
Pod

Furioso
Frag, melta, magna grapple
Pod

Inquisition
Coatez (with henchmen squad #1)
Prescience

Inquisitor (with henchmean squad #2)
Prescience, 1 servo skull

Henchmen squad #1
4 psykers
3 hb servitors
Chimera

Henchmen squad #2
3 hb servitors
2 acolytes with bolters
Chimera

2k

So 6 scoring units. Tank hunting devs for AT, maybe prescienced. Bikes and CM for anti MC. Henchmen squads for anti troop. Dropping furioso and DC turn 1 for damage and distraction along with FoD. Closely followed by a flaming assault unit drop.

Why do you have three armies in one list when the most you can have is two (one primary and one allied)? Not to mention the "allied" forces have too many units in their force organisation slots. Overall this list is not legal, maybe you should limit your list to two armies and read the allies rules closer.

Errrm maybe you missed the rules you are talking about. The inquisition is a detachment that DOESNT take the allied slot.
Furthermore the BA has 2 troops, one elites, one HQ... whilst the inquisition DETACHMENT has 3 elites and 2 hq, which btw is LEGAL for an inquisition detachment. The primary IF force has 1 hq, 2 troops, 3 heavy.
So all legal.
Instead of trying to make people look foolish and getting a pie in the face in the process, you should maybe take your own advice...

Welcome to Dakka btw.

Interesting. Seems a little bit all over the place though. I don't get the loadout on the henchmen at all. And really don't like Flakk missiles.

@TheBarmyBrit :
Primary Detachment - 1 HQ, 2 troops, 3 heavy
Allied Detachment - 1 HQ, 2 troops, 1 elite
Inquisitorial Detachment - 2 HQ, 3 Elite

Perfectly legal.

Well I never seen three armies before used in an army. I wasn't trying to make you look foolish, I was just confused on the way it was listed. Also I have only seen inquisition in Grey Knights, never in vanilla space marines, adding to the confusion. It may be technically legal but it still would raise an eyebrow to anyone battling you who are unfamiliar with the wording of the inquisition allies thing and would too question you. However if it indeed is that way I will take the pie in the face and move on.

Codex : Inquisition came out fairly recently (last couple of months) - You can take an Inquisitorial Detachment that is outside of the normal Force Org. Chart and can be used alongside any of the Imperial armies (possibly others, I'm not positive as I only play GK and SM). They have no troops in Codex : Inquisition either. It's a bit of an odd one.

Henchmen unit #1 gets a large st6 ap3 blast, 9 st 5 ap4 shots, d6 st4 shots and 6 st 6 ap4 shots.
#2 gets 9 st 5 ap4 shots, 2/4 st 4 and 6 st 6 ap4 shots.
#3 is to unlock the psyback.
All shooting from the chimera hatches.
All together it should be some formidable anti troops. Especially if one of the two presciences go to one of these units.

The IF are there for anti tank/mc - especially with all those tank hunting lascannons and grav guns. I dont like flak either, but with tank hunter and prescience then any fluer goes down no questions asked (hopefully). The CM is an anti-mc/counter assault beatstick.

BA are there to massively disrupt gunlines and/or sidetrack the opponents assualt/counter assault.

Fair enough. It was the way it came across telling me to limit myself and reread the rules. If that was not how you meant it I apologise.

Ok, thanks. Now that I understand the use for the henchmen squads the way they're loaded it seems decent enough.

I like the CM. Can't go wrong with that.
Grav bikes are nice.
Sniper scouts I personally don't have any success with these days.

That's a LOT of points in Lascannons and Flakk. I'd almost be willing to drop the ML Devs entirely and just snapshot lascannons at any flyers since you've got precience up the wazoo. Then those couple hundred points could go into more harassing units.

And .. I have no experience with BA, so I'll leave that. I assume they'll work, lol. I know the Furioso dread is a killing machine at least.

Yeah the thing that worries me about the list is that each dev squad only has one wound sponge before every casualty becomes expensive. If I drop the flak devs, saving me 170pts I could also try and save 30pts somewhere and get a BA stormraven for AA duties instead...
Maybe if I drop the psyback squad and the servo skull saving me another 85pts. Thus leaving 55pts if I get the raven.
Thats enough for a BA attack bike with MM and digi weapons on the CM.

Raven + MM attack bike + digi weapons > flak devs + psyback, I think.

Cheers for the feedback!
