So reading through the inquisition book I notice that inquisitors (when upgraded to mastery level 1) can be taken for just a few points more than a Primaris. They also have better stats across the board and even though the Primaris can be made a level 2 psyker is it worth the 25 points on a model with that stat line?
Just trying to decide which route seems best for bringing some psychic power to my Astra list.
Is Coteaz worth his points in replace of a standard Primaris given that he is mastery level 2. I know he still suffers from being T3 but he brings many other things to the table as well. Thoughts?
Coteaz is amazing for his points. I include him 90% of the time in my lists. Put him in a big infantry blob. In regards to Primaris vs inquisitor, I think the only time a Primaris is better is if you don't want to run an inquisitorial detachment. Other than that I would always take an Inquisitor over a Primaris.

If you are running all chimeras an inquisitor won't bring much to the table. You can't use most psychic powers except shooting ones inside a transport anyway. With ld10, stubborn and rad grenades an inquisitor can be awesome in a blob, but all those buffs are generally useless inside a chimera.
Coteaz is definitely your best option here. Lvl 2 psyker with daemon hammer, 2+ save and lots of special rules that are awesome for a mere 100points. Stick him with a veteran squad with plasmas or a unit of artillery carriages and tear up incoming droppods can be a lot of fun. Also the reroll to seize is amazing.
Depends what kind of IG you're running. An Inquisitor in a blob with Psychotroke Grenades is amazing. Coteaz is also good in a blob to "I've been expecting you" Drop Pods which are traditionally good vs blobs.
Definately consider Psykers in Henchman squads as well. A mere 10 points for a warp charge and chance to roll Invis is really good.
Inquisitors pretty much lump the be fits of a Commissar and a Primaris Psyker together. With the added bonus of being able to take things like rad grenades and servo skulls (emphasis on the latter!!), they are much better than the Primaris imo
