Somewhere in warp space

Hey everyone, I'm coming back to 40k after a very long time away (I last played in 6th ed) and I want to put together a force representing something the Inquisition would use to take on some particularly well armed heretics, so this is what I've come up with. A detachment of Militarum Tempestus accompanied by an inquisitor and a Witchseeker Squad on secondment from the Sisters of Silence.
Currently this has all come from my ideas of what's cool rather than any thoughts as to what's good, which is where I'm hoping you fine folk might be able to help.

Thanks in advance!

I'm also just coming back to the game and have played no games in 9th, thanks to lockdown.

The thing that jumps out at me right away is that you have precisely 15 models with objective secured; if you drop the grenade launcher from the command squad you could add another man and run it as a 4th Stormtrooper squad, would bring you up to 20 at least.

Are you set on the Vendetta? The Avenger brings a arguably superior weapons loadout with two lascannons and a 10 shot D2 assualt cannon, for 165 points. Swapping it in instead would free up enough points for another squad of five.

The math on those hotshot lasguns is... powerful. Depending on the regimental doctrine you give them, you can be chewing up a five man Deathwing Terminator squad in a single turn with just 20 men. (4-1 sounds bad, till you remember that Terminators are at their cheapest, 33 points, and 4 scions is 36 points.)

Plasma is always good, but don't rule out just riflemen with the stormtroopers.

You make some good points, especially about swapping the command squad for a Stormtrooper squad. I'll swap that out and also go down to one plasma gun in each squad so I can give a better melee weapon to the inquisitor.

In terms of the Vendetta, my reasons are two fold. One is that I have a Vendetta sat in a box from back when I used to play so it saves me buying another model, the other is that because it's my only real anti-armour option I felt like it needs to be a strong one. I certainly see what you mean about the Avenger, it's definitely more flexible in terms of weapons, but I'm not sure if it might not have enough punch should I come up against a list with a lot of hard targets whereas the Vendetta should be pretty reliable at popping vehicles with a pair of twin lascannons rather than a pair of singles.
I think I could be convinced though...

Here's a variant of the list swapping out the Vendetta for an Avenger, with the extra squad carrying a meltagun to help with some extra anti armour
