I started an Astra Militarum army but since I do not like the regular guardsmen models I decided to model all my veterans using the Tempestus Scions. Now I am thinking I should play Militarum Tempestus. Yes I know why would I do that, well to be honest I like a challenge and I like playing lists that are not that common. So here is my idea for 750 points of Scions with Inquisition.

Militarum Tempestus

HQ

Militarum Tempestus Command Squad: Medi-pack, 3x Plasma Gun
----Taurox Prime: TL Autocannon and Battle Cannon

Troops

10 Scions: 2x Plasma Gun
----Taurox Prime: TL Autocannon and Battle Cannon

5 Scions: 2x Melta
5 Scions: 2x Melta

Inquisition

Ordo Xenos Inquisitor: Psyker, Servo Skulls x3, Bolt Pistol, Force Sword
---- Servitors x2 w/ Plasma Cannon

Could be the crappiest list ever. Not really sure. The 2 5 Man scion squads are there to deep strike hopefully utilizing the servo skulls to take care of any enemy armor that might be a threat or back field heavy weapons. Taurox drive and shoot as long as they can with Scions using fire points. Inquisitor is there for Divination and the servo skulls. Servitors are there because it fit in the points and why not bring 2 plasma cannons.

See if you can find points to turn your xenos inquisitor into a hereticus and give him a psyocculum. it's kinda situational, but when you get to dump BS10 plasma cannon shots on psykers it makes everything hilarious. Also, do you really need the servo skulls? the taurox can take an upgrade that is straight up better for deepstriking and the skulls get removed if anything gets too close.

Yea somehow I missed the Augur Array however the points are too high unless I drop the Plasma servitors to make room for them. That would allow me to get one on both of the Taurox. Then the main thing is keeping the Taurox alive and getting into position to make use of the deep strikes.

Playing against Tau and Necrons there won't be many psykers around if any so not sure it would fit into my gaming group the best.

Lose the Inquisitor.

He's fluffy, and he's cool... but not great at list points level. you need more firepower son, how many points did you invest into that Inquisitor?

I have to agree at this point level for what you're trying it doesn't seem like he fits. You DO need more fire power. Out of curiosity why'd you choose the xenos inquisitor?

Also I appreciate what you're trying to do, I love unusual armies. I have an Inq/Sob/MT army, a Sob/Inq army and my favorite a pure inquisition army. (All sob models are proxied for now though.)
