How are justifling the inquisition henchmen priest taking a sisters relic? He's clearly from inquisition faction. You could join a sisters priest and join him to your wabrand though.

They are trying to use the Mace of Valan for the flesh bane and armour bane rules if within 6" of a daemon. But it's a sisters relic, and hence can't be taken with an inq faction priest.

Your telling me that this formation is made up of multiple factions? Where does it state that this priest is a sisters faction? You can't just assume he's a sisters priest. He could equally be a IG priest by your logic. He's built into the Inq faction of the book, he's Inq unless specifically stated otherwise.

Page 118 BRB, para 7 under FACTIONS, all units belong to one of the many factions...

This will often be represented in the unit's army list entry with a symbol, the key for which can be found to the right. (Show a list ilof pictograms of each faction, including the =I= symbol)

So according to this, every model on that page is Inq faction, including the arco, crusader, and DCA.

The only way your getting that Relic Mace, is by adding in a sisters priest from an Adepta Sororitas faction.

First of all, they band into 1 unit, plain and simple, so all models are inq faction. But, you are correct on the priest being able to take relics because he has explicit permission. That's the only reason he can, but it's sufficient. Nice catch.

That being said, the clear winner here is the Litany of Faith relic, not the Mace.

Are we not in agreeace that the formation makes a blob? Well the blob is a single unit, and hence subject to page 118 of the rulebook and can only ever be a single faction. I agree he can take a relic, but he is not adepta sororitas faction.

A model can't have two factions.

Any prefered enemy that I believe is vs the imperium is vs. Space marines specific, maybe something vs IG, but not sure. Otherwise theres enough generic prefered enemy instances out there.

So your telling me that even though this formation forms an single unit (plus the inquisitor ) and even though the rules under faction explicitly state a unit can only have 1 faction that your unit hence has two factions? Right...

Are you refering to sub units within a unit? Yes, I agree about that. But your trying to tell me that this unit is SoB/Inq. That's not technically legal unless the FAQ states one unit (not sub units) can be multiple factions.

So has anyone ran this yet with Coteaz? I'm curious what you ran it with and/or how wieldly it felt on the table.

Yeah always the power vs cost issue, lol. Looks fun, but can you explain Thunder hammer libbies.

Well they are still legal since GW back pedaled themselves on the SoB and Inq books. So now you can use either the "old" books, or this new book, or both, lol. Don't store those skulls on the shelf just yet.

Because they first stated this book would replace SoB and GK, then they stated it didn't. How is this NOT back pedeling? And you can pump the brakes on the attitude.

Rightly so, that being said, I think you'll be seeing a full Henchmen Warband with Coteaz. That's gonna be a lot of obsec bodies (30~ strong). Though I'd also consider adding in GK to that since I believe they'd also gain obsec (feel free to correct me on this)

emails via warhammer community page. Proof enough as far as I'm concerned.

How are you using Hector in regards to this book? Just an allied inquisitor from codex:inquisition? Also, what do you mean about mixed crusader / DCA units?
