Conversion beamer then.

Why don't the servo skulls reduce the scatter from an orbital strike relay?

**CrimsonFury**

Because the orbital strike rule says "always scatters the full 2D6"

**Corollax**

ah, right, of course. Thanks.

**Asmodai Asmodean**

The question is, how come no one else can have an Orbital Strike Relay except for Karamazov?

**NeedleOfInquiry**

"eh I don't see the huge benefit of 2 coteaz anyway.."

Well... its obvious...it's how he has been doing the "I've been expecting you" thing all these years...

There an Imperial Standard Template on him somewhere....

Because in the book they copy-pasted from, he and the tech marine were the only ones to have it.

And the Grand Master.

**Asmodai Asmodean**

They introduce a piece of wargear which according to fluff is accessible to most inquisitors, then limit its usage to a single special character? So lazy.

Just because they copypasted from the GK codex doesn't mean they can't update the new one with more gear options beside relics.

50 points for it is ridiculous, anyway.

**Godless-Mimicry**

Just reading over the Codex and thinking the Karamazov and Wheels would make a good pairing. Send Wheels into the enemy with his superior mobility, drop the bomb on him, he tanks with his 3++ and EW while the enemy gets pasted, then Wheels charges to get locked in and does it all again next turn.

**easysauce**

they actually upgraded the orbital bombardment in C:I too

in C'GK its "always scatters full 2d6, even if a hit is rolled youuse the small arrow, no minusing the BS of user"

in C:i it hits on a hit, and still no - the BS, but still, it CAN hit now.

**Lanlaorn**

Yes but, the C:GK version could be used as often as you liked and the C:I version is once per game.

This greatly reduces Inquisitor Krazypants' gimmick.

**NWansbutter**

I've read a number of times in this thread that ALL Imperium of Man armies get Inquisitors as Battle Brothers. This is, sadly, not correct if you factor in Forgeworld lists. I emailed forgeworld to ask them about my Death Korps of Krieg and they said that Codex: Inquisition is "Come the Apocalypse" for Krieg armies. Which I thought was rather daft considering that in the Seige of Vraks the whole Krieg army is placed under the command of the Inquisition/Hector Rex, but there you have it.

Well, one of the warlord traits, "Burner of Worlds" (which I believe all three ordos of inquisitor has access to) gives you the orbital strike relay. So you have a 1/6 chance of getting it in any given battle.

Nope, this just means you need to install the update for your Codex

no its not... i have latest version of C:I... and now where does it say orbital bombardment is one shot only now...perhaps you are confusing it with the warlord trait orbital bombardment which is one shot

**ansacs**

@easysauce
On release day the dex said one shot. You probably have the updated version.

**Peregrine**

Yeah, don't you love silent updates?

Yep, I love them better than the alternative of update once every 6 years. Is update monthly and tell me about it an option?

Was trying to run my Raven Guard using the 'scout' rule with vehicles and Shrike with a bare bones VVS with infiltrate today. I'm trying to use the craptastic Chapter Trait they got because everyone keeps telling me how good it is. Opponent had two Inq's, each with three servo skulls, put up a belt of servo-skulls outside my deployment zone, and a couple on the only bits of cover they didn't have occupied in their half of the table. Best 18pts you'll ever spend IMO. Couldn't move a single model forward with scout, and infiltrate left me no options. This is going to put a serious dent in some of the advantages of Ravenwing, White Scars, Raven Guard, SoB/Dominions, CSM/Huron armies. As far as my Raven Guard go, think I'll head back to my drop pod lists.

Don't forget to get your inquisitor with servo skulls so that your drop pods wont scatter far! Every army now needs cheap inquisitors!

Gallows humour aside, I think your post is part of the trickle that turns into a flood. I'll be interested to see these forums in a month and see how many of us now find we're routinely facing Inquisitors most battles.

**Magc8Ball**

They probably are doing these day-two changes in an attempt to foil piracy, since most of the time these digital codexes are online in a matter of minutes after their release.

**buddha**

Anyone have a summary of the update and what changed?

Razorbacks back to BS4. OSR no longer one-use only. DCAs and Crusaders back to having Power Swords. Basically a return to the things that were changed from the GK in the first place.

Thanks man. I'm pissed that crusaders can't take poweraxes now but oh well.

That would be assuming an unjustified level of competence from GW. More likely this is just another case of GW's complete lack of playtesting or proofreading, combined with the realization that they can be lazy and not bother to publish an FAQ if they just edit the digital book directly.

**pizzaguardian**

What about force weapons for inquisitors?

There are several stats for force weapons on the back but the original version i saw still had inquisitors only taking force swords.

Why not? They come stock with a power weapon, so you are well within your rights to give them power axes.

Edit: Just saw the update. My dreams are dashed...
