So I think the index is already broken.

We have a stratagem Inqusitorial Mandate which says "All of the relics your army includes must be different and be given to different models. You can only use this stratagem once per battle."

So from this it seems like you should be able to take multiple Inquisitor's.

Then Inqusition detachment kicks in. Which can only be Vanguard or unbound but says: " No more than one Inqusitor unit can be included in any Inqusition detachment ( that is, a detachment that includes only Inqusition units).

I really think they dropped the ball on this one. Not only can you only have 6 Elites you can only take One HQ

No? Because you can have multiple Inquisition detachments in the army, each with their own INQUISITOR.

Which works very well with the suggested 3 detachment limit at 2k for organised events.

Yeah, because I don't think Inquisitors are intended to be run as a stand alone faction really. You can do it, but that doesn't appear to be the design intent. Sort of like Assassins.

It's pretty fluffy too, as multiple Inquisitors working together isn't really a thing. They generally don't get on, there's a lot of egos involved. And they'd bicker over who had authority.

Each army can have multiple detachments. How is this a problem?

I think the problem is only 3 detachments, so filling out 2k points is hard.

Agreed with the standalone comment though; my main problem with it however is you either get *one* Inquisitor (with no acolytes or other inquisition toys) or a whole detachment of Inquisition (which breaks monofaction rules unlike the one Inquisitor).

There is no real way to run, say, Sororitas with an Inquisitor who brings his own retinue unless you want to throw the Rites of Battle under the bus. (Even though the Sororitas are the Chamber Militant of the Ordo Hereticus...)

When was the last time that actually mattered in this game? People always talk about it, but I haven’t heard about this having any mechanical effect.

Adeptus mechanicus/Astra militarum/Custodes all have no penalties for an inquisitorial detatchments in fact thats the norm untill GW gave into anti soupers

What your outlineing isn't a problem with the inquisition rules more a problem with' the doctrine type rules trying to force people into mono faction which isn't a rules problem - its a poor design choice.

I am not asking for it to have a mechanical affect. I am asking for it to not have a mechanical effect (i.e. breaking Rites)

It's almost like you aren't supposed to fill out 2k points with Inquisition alone.

Also the "3 detachment" thing is for Organised Play, not Matched Play. You can take as many detachments as you want in Matched Play, so can easily fill out 2k points.
