henchmen with bolters are the bomb diggity, 5 pts for abolter? yes please, I take them 12x6 squads... maybe with a single jokaro in each squad, maybe with 2 units with ST bolters, but the core of bolter henchmen is awesome, 5 pts for a ld8 guardsmen with a bolter, I will buy that all day.

I've been running them 3 plasma guns 2 storm bolters and 7 bolters and they work great. My only complaint about the unit is that I run out of troops under force org.

So with codex:inq now out, what I've seen so far may well mean I need to change the plan here. It seems that, one way or another, I'm going to need to run them as GK with Coteaz to get the 6 warbands, as it would appear that codex:inq only works as a pseudo-allied detachment, as it's 0-2 HQ and 0-3 Elites. If there's something I'm missing there then can someone please correct it, but from the discussion in N&R it seems that's how it works. I've seen mentioned that when taken as primary the Warbands become scoring, and it can ally with itself, but I'm not quite sure how that works. So, a few questions:

1) Can I take C:I primary allied with C:I allies and get 6 scoring units/max 4 inquisitors and still take normal allies?

2) If I am running just one allied detachment as per the new rules (2 inqs, 3 warbands) then what units, from the ones from my list on the last page, would you pick?

3) Are priests now worth taking in a DCA/Crusader squad for the re-rolls on attacks or saves?

1-Yes
2-Only like units #3 
3-yes

Thanks. Good to know this army can still work without Coteaz being needed. I know he's great but I'm not a fan, he just doesn't fit the fluff of my inquisitors and I'd rather not counts-as.

Are you guys *sure* you can take the Inquisition as the primary and also have an inquisition detachment at the same time? I've read in a couple of places that wasn't allowed, comments from people I mean, not from the codex
