I was looking at a Reddit thread about army building, and a guy suggested to build a battleforged of Inquisition AD. He said to purchase three boxes of grey knight Paladins, and use the models as Inquisitors in Terminator armor. He said each Inquisition AD only requires it to be a single HQ, and to just make 15 ADs each with one Inquisitor in Terminator army. Maybe he was using an old codex or rule set, but doesn't an AD require a troop choice?

He's probably not meaning the Allied Detachment but the Inquisitorial Detachment which is 1 mandatory Hq, 1 optional HQ and 3 optional Elites I believe.

That makes sense, he advised to run 15 detachments each with a decked out Termie Inquisitor so that you have 15 independent characters with 3W and 2+/5++

I've toyed about with a similar idea my self, but instead of all in termie armour every Inquisitior is armed differently and represents a band of inquisitors plus their retainers and squads having an all mighty slam down on some serious heresy.

I think I want to do something along this idea, and maybe run them with a Small CAD of another force. I love the idea of a band of Inquisitors working together like that.

And Toughness 3. Pretty much any S6 AP2 weapon will pop those guys left and right. A relatively cheap team of Crisis Suits with Plasma Rifles would chew through these guys like they were butter. AP2 means you only get a 5++ save. S6 means that if you fail that 5++ save, you die from Instant Death regardless of how many wounds you have left. Most AP2 weaponry is S6 or higher. You really need something more durable than Terminator Armour or you'll lose quick.

Run them as allied then? Bring Iron hands vehicle support or even run a grey knight CAD to support them

It doesn't work that well. They are too expensive and fragile.
Allmost all Ap2 or Ap1 weapon will insta kill those guys. Even plasma is deadly for them.

Buy 15 Wolf Guard terminators instead and make them lone wolves. 50 ppm, 2+ save, 3+ invuln, eternal warrior, ws 5, bs 4, str 4, t 4, i 4, monster hunter, 2 wounds, 2 attacks, fnp, counter attack, acute senses, fearless ld 8, character that can't join units.

You could do the lone wolf thing, but unless you go unbound it would get pretty expensive since you'd also need to buy 15 packs of bloodclaws, grey hunters, or wolf guard, and an HQ.
