I've always liked that idea of playing an army which represented a joint task force of the Orders Militant of the 3 Holy Ordo's of the Inquisition. I just loved the fluff of it and with 7th Edition all the new Formation and Detachments look like they might have made it possible to to get some crunchy synergy going at point level that wasn't ridiculously high.

I tried to focus on giving each squad a specific job and gearing them to that one job well.

Uriah joins the 9 man sister squad in their Rhino and the Battle Sisters camp objectives. (would have loved to get another priest in the other BSS but just couldn't find the points for it.)
Dominons melt Tanks, vehicles/MC. Exorcists do their thing on whatever scares me the most at the moment, the storm bolters are to keep them from being useless after a single weapon destroyed roll.
My Inquisitor joins the 'Deathwatch' Sternguard in their Drop Pod for BS10 and Special Bolter ammo against psykers who can't use their powers to retaliate. Combi-Plasma felt more versatile than Combi-Melta since I've already got the Dominons/Exorcists to deal with high AV targets and the Inquisitor picks up the Inferno pistol just in case, so if I need it, he can split off the squad to tank bust without wasting Marines with Special Ammo shooting up a tank only part of the squad can hurt.

The Single drop pod becomes an anchor point for getting several squads wherever I need them early game, since the Nemisis Strike force give the possibility for a Terminator squad Deep Stike on turn 1 the Sternguard have a decent chance of not being stuck out on their lonesome for a turn. Land the pod first and used the homming beacon to bring the Grey Knights in safely. Then with luck Vanguard can follow up the next turn.

The Termies are geared to fight MC's, bust transports open in Melee or take on whatever I need high strength to kill. The 1st Vanguard Squad are Meqs hunters with 11 Ap3 attacks on a charge. the 2nd Vanguard Squad hunts Teqs since they can produce the same number of Ap2 attacks at higher Str, just at I1. Being 5 man squads they feel a little fragile, but I'm hoping the the bonus fear effect from 1st Company formation combined with Iron Hands FnP could really help keep them alive.

So I just learned that the recent FAQ that hit Facebook a few days ago says Battlebrothers can't embark in each other's transports during the deployment phase. There wasn't clarification as to if this included IC's attached to the unit which took a dedicated transport but it leaves it questionable at best if the Inquisitor can ride the drop pod with the Space Marines he's been attached to.

Also IC's from a different formation attached to a unit do not gain the special rules of that formation (which from the posts I've been reading sounds like it would cause the Sternguard unit to lose Fearless, Fear and the -2 LD effect of 1st company task force).

Which means there is no longer any way to get the Inquisitor into the unit I want him in, and he gimps any unit he joins. (Sisters lose their Act of Faith, Marines lose the fear, -2 Ld aura and preferred vs a unit, Gk can't deep strike turn 1 even if he was Melleus in termie)

i.e. Better off running the list at 1750 minus the Inquisitor, the VV powersword and a GK Halbred. Switch the Sternguard Combi-bolters to Melta as backup for the dominions.

EDIT: So upon further reading it sounds like IC's CAN deploy embarked on the Transport of a units they joined since "they count as part of the unit for all rule purposes" and a unit with IC from different factions counts as both factions.
