What exactly do those grenades do? when I tried the inquisitors out a friend basically told me the stats and how much they costed so I dont have the codex or GK codex to look that up.

He brought 2 inquisitors. One could take hammerhand and one could take prescience.

Random effect overkill grenades that make the enemy do such things as strike last, hit themselves, or lose attacks.

Now those grenades sound pretty awesome too, man these inquisitors can hike up in points quickly!

Two inquisitors, two blobs. One in each.

Yeah they do, they usually end up around 94 points in this setup (i also add plasma syphon if my dude is in a flyer but that is your call), but the buffing effects are usually worth it, specially in a 40 man blob.

Yea that probably what Im looking at doing and would you with it would be better to have one of the inquisitors as Coteaz or just have 2 inquisitors with prescience, both grenade typers and servo skulls?

If you're going psykers heavy, why not? 1 ml 2 biomancy librarian + 2 ml 1 divination inquisitors for ~450 pts. Gives you some pretty solid psychic boost.

Personally, I think Coteaz is worth the extra points. Not being to take psykotrokes or skulls is kind of a bummer, but his abilities are so good that I plan on including him in most of my lists going forward.

coteaz ıs a whole new ball park, it opens options like dual heavy bolter tri-special weapon henchmen in chimeras (which were already there but now they are useful since they are scoring), a 100 point unit with a quite good punch. But as tomjoad said coteaz must be handled differently since his powers are much different.

If i was running 2 40 man blobs i would definitely go with double inquisitors (not with grenades necessarily since they do cost 60 points in total) and one points that they are obviously better than coteaz is servo skulls, since they shut down khorne hounds and kroots and pretty much the whol ravenguard and ravenwing armies.

If you're just taking them for Prescience, why not just use a 65 pt DA Librarian? The Troops tax I guess?

DA librarians use up your allies slot and you can only get one of them. C:I inquisitors don't take up any slots and you can take two of them.

They were always scoring as well.

Then w/ Inquisition and DA allies it's possible to get 3 sources of prescience with a single Force Org.

3 Twin-linked Manticores, coming right up.

the "now" part refers to changing to coteaz from regular inquisitors for the special detachment, and it never made them scoring, it made them troops (i know semantics ).

Troops are scoring, so by making them troops he made them scoring. Counter-semantics!

What's the consensus on Karamazov? Still better to take a ml1 inquisitor w/ servo skulls? The model looks cool, but I'm not at all familiar with these units.

Thanks for the help! I will do some play testing and see what I can come up with. I really like the inquisitor with rad and psyktrope nades, ml1 psyker and servo skulls. Granted that's 94pts? So it's just a decision of either 2 of those guys or 1 with coteaz.

I would say coteaz for the cheap scoring as well as seize/overwatch.

I would look at the scout book on an inquisitor depending on if your list could benefit from it.

thats what space wolves rune preists are for then, take two of those too, theres you rpecience for both blobs

At more cost. And not stubborn. Plus troops tax, so even more cost.

Edit - Wait, I get it. Two rune priests for the prescience, two inquisitors for shenanigans. Woohoo!

Sigh. I can't bring myself to ally Space Wolves (aka Space Pigs, Space Drunks, Space Furries) to Sisters of Battle, though -- Rune Priests might be damn useful but they're the ultimate in what the Sororitas would consider offensive manliness. Also they got into a fight with the Ecclesiarchy....

So just Inquisitors for us, then.

Am I the only one that thinks taking two daemon blades (or whatever they're called) on a inquisitor is a good idea? It gives you a 4/10 chance (actually a little better) to get FNP and EW on a Terminator-armoured model, plus that one time where you get 7 AP2 attacks on the charge will be pretty funny. It may not be tournament worthy, but I don't think it's a bad idea.
