So since I found out that I HAVE to summon daemons in a daemon list, which is a playstyle I really hate, I am going to play adeptus mechanicus. So I devised this War Convocation list with Inquisitorial allies because I don't find much interest in running the librarius formation with it for some reason. Any critique? This is intended to be an all-comers list. So which squad would the Ordo Xenos inquisitor be walking with? I assume the Dominus goes with some Kataphrons.
Tech-Priest Dominus (105pts)
Digital weapons, Erradication ray, Infoslave Skull, Phosphor serpenta, Stasis field, The Scryerskull Perspicatus, Warlord
3x Kataphrons w/ Heavy grav-cannon, Cognis flamer
3x Kataphrons w/ Heavy grav-cannon, Cognis flamer
Battle Maniple (726pts)
Onager Dunecrawler w/ Icarus array
5x Ruststalkers (base weapons)
Conversion Field, Digital weapons, Prehensile Dataspike, The Omniscient Mask
5x Infiltrators (Flechette Blaster and Taser goads)
Conversion Field, Digital weapons, Infoslave Skull, The Phase Taser
5x Rangers (2x Arquebus)
Arkhan's Divinator, Conversion Field, Digital weapons, Galvanic rifle
9x Vanguards (2x Plasma Calliver)
Conversion Field, Digital weapons, Pater Radium
3x Sydonian Dragoons w/ Phosphor Serpenta
Knight Warden (375pts)
Avenger Gatling Cannon w/ Heavy Flamer, Meltagun, Reaper Chainsword, Stormspear Rocket Pod
Inquisitorial Detachment (172pts)
Inquisitor Coteaz (100pts)
Ordo Xenos Inquisitor (72pts)
Bolt Pistol, Chainsword, Power Armour, Psychotroke Grenades, Rad Grenades, 3x Servo Skulls
Culexus Assassin (140)
Total: 1848

Take Cawl. His relics are really good.
The Arquebus is not a good weapon. Plasma is much scarier.
I'd rather have the Cognis relic on your Priest than the Scryerskull. BS2 against fllyers is very useful, especially when they're TL.

I personally would advise against Cawl in War Convo. The relics are good, one in particular for that matter, just the placement is horrible and you lose your only IC to put it on. It ends up being a waste of the extra 95 points IMO. The only decent placement for said relic ends up being in a 10 man vanguard with 3 plasma.
Elric's other suggestions are good though.
Spend the extra 9 points on the vanguard for that 3rd plasma btw.
You can also take some acolyte units with mystics to bump up your WC count. Plus some backfield with ObSec and crutch Psychic Shrieks are not back. Also gives you a chance at Invisibility.
-Also did a tally on your list (what you have written down) and it came to 1708 for me rather than 1848. So may want to run the math again.

Could be the kataphrons. They don't have a points cost next to them

Oh wow you were right. Battlescribe does that I guess. I kind of want to keep the arquebuses purely because I like the models.
So some acolytes and mystics. Anything else?
What squad does the xenos inquisitor go in with his grenades? Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh my bad I forgot to include the Culexus assassin let me fix that

Honestly, there is not really a good place for him, not one that he can keep up with. Infiltrators infiltrate and the Ruststalkers are moving 9in each turn. I'd say drop him down to just Servo skulls if you want to keep them or lose him entirely for other options.
Taking the C:IA Coteaz in that detachment grants the elites ObSec, just would have the take the assassin in his own detachment, but that would still be 3 overall. Good for ITC.

He could go with the vanguards. Do rad grenades stack with their -1 toughness? Because that could be quite funny if they charge something.
