Any ideas? I'm thinking about making this my general army, and I want to know if there's any good way to use them together?

ordo malleus INQ allying with Eldar vs. a Slaneeshi cult.

Lots of the Radicals within the Inquisition bend the rules beyond breaking (e.g, the Xeno Hybris). They seem to think that ends justify the means, or are simply dismissive of the conservative dogma. It's feasible that some Radical Inquisitor would work with a group of Eldar to accomplish some shared goal.

In gaunt's ghosts an ordo xenos inquisitor helps the eldar shut down a webway portal

Read the book Warrior Coven, or one of the early Gaunt's Ghosts series, I think it was the second one... It happens rather often when the work of the Inquisition to protect humanity is along the same Path as the work of the Eldar to protect the Galaxy. Even Ordo Xenos will work with Eldar to stop Orcs or Chaos and everyone will work together against Tyranids.

Can you please keep this rules related? cheers.

Rules related?

Codex: Inquisition is, what, AoC with Eldar?

There you go. Field C:I forces with C:E forces, and follow the rules for AoC, and you're golden.

You've given no ideas about what sort of army you want. What are you going for? What style list? What sort of gameplay? You can't buff Eldar with Inquisition or vice versa so why bother at all combining these two factions if not for the fluff? Land Raiders and Wave Serpent Spam would be annoying to see on the field though so maybe you can go with that?

alright. i have a generally jetbike-heavy eldar army, and i have a valkyrie-mounted inquisition force, so a lot of fast moving things in my army. does that help at all?

The inquisitor got insane and thinks he's surrounded by hamsters.

Oh, wait. We're not talking about fluff justification are we? Anywayz, an inquisitor with servo sculls is allready worth his points as a protection from scout/infiltration. You can stick him in the backlines with a beamer later on. Or go insane and roll him as xeno with all the nades and a bunch of deathcults+crussaders (or how are the guyz with 3++ called) in a land raider. They chop stuff to death, i tell you.

i have nothing wrong with the fluff side. i'd like a fluff army, but people were JUST talking about the fluff, and not really answering the question.

Sorry, i thought the question was on how they would work together.

They work together quite easily if you focus on things that dont need as much synergy to work. So focus on things such as maledictions and the like that both sides can benefit from.

I think having CC henchmen squads will offer a boost, combined with land raiders that get flipping dozer blades(no I am not bitter)

Given that Eldar and Inquisition are Allies of Convenience, you cannot have =I= forces in Eldar units (or vice-versa), they cannot cast buffs/blessings/bonuses on each other's units, and only area-effect powers/abilities/effects that apply to "all allied units within X" will affect the other faction's units, nor can they ride in each other's transports.

So if an Eldar power says "affects all Eldar units within 12"", then it doesn't work on an =I= unit at all, no matter how close. If an =I= power says "affects all models within 6""... then it will affect any Eldar within that range.

If that power said "all friendly models", then it wouldn't work, as Allies of Convenience are considered "enemy units that cannot be charged, shot, attacked or targeted".

They also can't hang out together, as they can come no closer than 1" to AOC models. Better get another case for your models (jk).

No offence but it feels you're a bit spoilt by the battlebrother options Even without being able to do all that, inquisition allies provides unique stuff that eldar don't have. Servo sculls and brutal mellee.

But that's not making a list together. Battle Brothers is building a list together. My Farseer giving Invisibility to my Dark Eldar Reavers while my Autarch with Banshee Mask and Bike reduces the Initiative of the enemy unit by five meanwhile adjusting the Reserve roll so my Raider carrying an Archon with Webway Portal and Fire Dragons jumps in immediately next to a vehicle and kills it, that's building a list together.

Without Battle Brothers it's very easy. Build an Eldar list. Build a smaller Inquisition list. Put them on the same table. But without the actual Battle Brother benefits it is still just playing two smaller armies against an opponent's larger one.

Look to control the board. Use Eldar to physically put yourself in place Turn 1, use the Inquisiton to deny the enemy to put themselves there Turn 1, then put yourself there again using the Grav Chute Insertion Turn 3. Might need to check the rules for AoC but wouldn't a Servo-Skull explode if an Eldar got within 6" of it? Whole 'counts as enemy unit' thing?
