Hey I was just wondering if this would be a viable anti space marine deathstar:
1x ordos malleus inquistor
( daemon blade+nemesis daemon hammer,brain mines,grimoir of true names,psyker level 1, 3 servo skulls)
1x ordos xenos inquistor
(Bolt pistol+force sword, rad grenades, psychotroke grenades, psyker level 1)
1x inflitrators
( flechette blasters + tasor goads, omni mask, conversion field)

If you plan to fight marines, why do you have a grimoir of true name and a nemesis DAEMON hunter ? Do you mean Chaos marines ?
I don't think the brain mines to be good against marines (they have I4).

The grimoir isnt specifically on there for space marines, just a cheap relic for the chaos match up. The hammer is just an alternative high strength ap2 option that is force and has a good chaos match up. And finally the inflitrators would make ththe space marines I3, not counting what the psychotroke grenades reduce it to.

In deed !
I forgot the infiltrator have this special rule.
The fact is, you will only reduce your opponent's Initiative 18% of the time.
But yeah, some others results can be interesting IIRC ( opponent's models attacking themselves with all their marine gear seem pretty fun^^ )
I do think you need another -1 T: if your opponent's deathstar is on bikes, you will put him to T4, and you need him to be T3 to instant kill his guys (I guess the infiltrators do that too ?).

To my mind, Marines deathstar are very dependent of their psy support. You may consider an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor instead, giving him a condemnor boltgun, and a thunder hammer (don't forget the psyocculum if you want to put him in a shooting unit).
The condemnor can insta kill the squad with the perils, or make one of his psyker forget one of his power, just by hitting.
The thunder hammer is the same against marines, you will keep the ap2 and the high S
But yeah, you would loose the empyrean brain mine combo.

I think the librarians are mandatory to help the deathstar, not to be offensive, is this right ? Otherwise, you could, just by taking a null rod, avoid all theirs powers (and insta kill them, but your opponent's will never put those wounds on one of his libby, so...).

The goal would be I think to grab enfeeble to help that put pr charge with some vanguard as well

And I believe the inquistors would automatically make the librarians I1

Bear in mind the infiltrators don't get their plus 3" to their move if an IC is joined.
