Looking to add some vehicles to my skitarii army. I know commonly fleshtearers are the go to fir that sort of thing. But i was thinking instead of taking the culexus i usually take, i could go inquisition and some psykers/chimeras. Does that sound semi competative still or a bad idea. Trying to stay away from war convocation and knights as some people are getting frusrated against them. Do you think rhinos are still better? Seems like the fire points and higher front armor for chimeras would come in handy.

I've done Inquisition allied with Skitarii. It works well. It gives you a modest HQ option and transports which Skitarii lack. Thematically I like taking Land Raiders as transports and Servitors with my Inquisitors to represent a tech priest but it isn't necessarily optimal. Valkyries might be a better transport if your using it to move Skitarii units and since its also a flyer thus giving you diversity and options. As more autonomous allies psykers can work but I find Inquisition works best when units are mixed and are used synergistically.

I can only comment on using inquisition with my marines but I would say that every imperial army benefits from an IQ ally. Cheap stubborn HQ, who can be tooled up to do anything, cheap acess to extra pyskers, transports, special weapons and some melee options. They even get the old version of chimera, back when it was actually good.

10 Skitarii Vanguards with 2-3 Arc rifles + Malleus inquisitor in terminator armor with psycannon and psybolt ammo would absolutely devastate anything in range.
Mathmammerticly. Load them into Land Raider or Valk and watch your opponent cry. And they can take some beating thanks to 4+ sv and FNP.

Vanguards rad trait stacks with a Xenos Inquisitor with rad grenades. minus 2 in combat gimps most units badly.
