Just looking for some general feedback for this list. Trying to be competitive but I know it won't be cut-throat full on GT cheese. Let me know where the weaknesses are and how to shore them up.

INQUISITORIAL DETACHMENT:

OATHSWORN DETACHMENT:

Cerastus Knight Acheron, 425

General tactics: most of the times the Captain will ride with the grav to tank wounds and allow them to move and shoot. The inquisitor is my warlord primarily to get rid of Stubborn, which 90% of the time is a hindrance, he joins the TFC for higher toughness boost and better cover saves (and look out sirs). The Knight serves 2 main purposes, it's a giant bullet magnet, and it provides a giant hellstorm S7 AP3 template that removes pesky fast units that rely on jinks and/or cover and can still tackle lightly armored vehicles (oh, and D slap + stomp in CC). Servo-skulls block scouting units (looking at you White Scars and bark stars). I've added more flamers than I would have a month ago but they've come in very handy against the Genestealer Cult which is a VERY strong newcomer.
Let's not forget that every single bolter weapon in this list is twin-linked, and I pity the opponent who shows up with a shield generator or other building.

I appreciate the feedback.

Looks pretty solid. The only thing the leapt out at me was the MB on the captain. How many times is he going to want to use that instead of just hitting things repeatedly with his hammer? I know it’s only 5 points, but that would get a flamer for an assault marine, or an cherub for a dev.

Agreed. I was keeping it in case I end up in assault against a Knight. But you're right, I'll get more use out of an extra flamer.
