So, who has it and what is your initial take?

its pretty cool, it can run as its own army, and if you do then its elites are scoring units.

take note tho it only has HQ, Elites, Dedicated Transports... so in a 1500 point game you will be hard press to fill 1500 points with 3 squads, an HQ and 3 dedicated transports...

they can ally with themselves so you could run 4 HQ, 6 squads and dedicated to make it work fine.

So far i think its all very cool and the fact you can use whatever you want for models is even better! lol

Ok, so its an Ally Dex with some built in ability to run a Stand alone army.

Who can it ally with?

How does it stack up to the Inquisition in the GK Dex?

Any stand out units, abilities, or upgrades?

he has done a really good job on collecting information, you can run an Inq detachment with an IG and space marine detactment all at the same time (yes you can now field 3 armys at once)

Thanks, my googlefu failed me.

Cheap cheap access to Divination for any Battle Brother.

Special Rules for all item, too bad they chose not to choose Tank Hunter for the Eldar one.... Grrr... that would have been very helpful.

lol sure but some how an inquisitor can hand carry a conversion beamer..... Str10 Ap1 blast....hand carried wtf

Unsurprisingly they pretty much just tore the Inquisitor units out of the GK codex and want to charge you full codex price for them. It really isn't very good...

Interesting. Little bit of a mixed bag that review. The complete lack of any invul save on an inquisitor, sans the malleus in term armor is more than a little disappointing. You'll have to bubblewrap the crap out of them, and pray to god no one scores a precision shot on the unit. The inquisitors themselves are going to be very easy to kill, sadly.

The Valkyrie is nice to see as a transport, as is the landraider (which was known already), though its a bit disappointing to see that most of the book is a complete rehash of what's already existing in codex GK. Not a single new character or even new rules for units, and Coteaz and Karamazov + henchmen being identical to Codex: GK is just... meh ? I see an opportunity to do some cool stuff being lost here.

Also... no Valeria ? wtf ?

No assassins either ? Again, disappointing.


It's neat, but i don't know how much it really brings to the table, beyond prescience on demand for 55 points. Of course the review was a touch generic, so maybe we're missing something just yet.

If it comes to hardcopy i'll probably get it... if it remains digital only, not so much.


-- Haight

So, looks like just about anyone can now bring three Vendettas for cheap.

Nope. No vendettas in the codex. Just Valks.

And they are only Dedicated Transport Valks, at that.

Yeah, I caught that. I think cheap access to Precience will be the major take home from it.

Can you take Psybolts on a LRC?

No ISTs, no Deathwatch? Meh. I admit I would have expected more. :/

Still sounds like a fun book, though.

Because it's a rifle.

It's also old age technology, which means it's far better and likely able to be used by hand because of it's excellent quality make.

Its also one shot IIRC ...............but as Valeria has been missed out of the Codex its a bit moot.

cheap divination that doesn't take up an ally slot . I like it.

Veleria had a graviton beamer; which was hers only, a pistol, and 1 Shot.

Xenos inquisitors can get a Conversion Beamer; which is Heavy, STR+AP based on range to blast, and can be fired every turn

Sounds like they copy and pasted the Inquisitor section from the GK rules and padded out the transport options/made a vague effort to bring it up to 6th. Really rather underwhelming really. Likely fare fine in 500 point mini events and whatnot though.

That's what i was thinking - Could be fun to tinker with since I don't usually do full on 1500+ 40k anymore.

That's actually my review he's quoting part of there, and that he's linking to there.

It's a good book if you want to spend 30$ to be able to ally 55pt prescience to your imperial army or Coteaz. That's all it really is.

I think it's an outright scam, but whatever it's not my money.

As I said in the news and rumors thread about this:

So I haven't purchased C:INQ yet, and haven't had much experience with the GK codex, though from what I have seen, a malleus INQ (using the Rex model from FW /drool) sounds like a fun addition to the IG army I have just started building (it is using DKOK models though with IG codex). Also it know most of the stuff on Rex will be decorative, but that doesn't phase me in the slightest. WYSIWYG is going to be near impossible with current models/options.

There is a chance that future models are created and rules added/changed as required (and after GK codex is updated). That is the joy of digital downloads. Eventually have that female INQ added, and Eisenhorn, as well as artificer armor choices etc.

Small chance I know, but one can hope.

You may not rate it as value for your money, but I find it worth my money, and as I've mentioned several times that there is a cheaper version you can get.

The thing is that when it comes to GW products you either find them worth what you're asked to pay or you don't. It doesn't mean they're a scam, but rather that you've reached what is called your Choke Price.

If you don't think it's worth it to you, that's fine but that doesn't hold true for everyone.

I don't remember saying my opinion holds true for everyone. I agree tho, there is a cheaper a version.

It's called the Codex: Grey Knights I already own

Orks should have been allies of convenience. Blood Axe mercs working for a radical (or not even that radical) ordo xenos is perfectly within background, has been since forever.

Agreed. Was a bit gutted they made Orks come the apocalypse, They should have made them desperate allies.

And as Bludflagg said, throw in the hat and we'ze got a deal.

But aren't the inq from the new inq codex BB with IG and the ones from the GK codex not ?

Also just noted no rad grenades, which i really dug with Xenos Inquisitors.

Man, i was really stoked for this codex, and it's pretty disappointing on the whole. :( About the only thing it gives me that my codex GK versions don't is prescience on a stick, the priest, transport valks, and warlord traits.

A missed opportunity ... i wish i was surprised, but i'm not though.

You were stoked for this codex (excited), then disappointed, though not surprised.
You knew you would be disappointed and yet got it anyway?
That sounds pretty weird to me.

Battle Brothers with the Space Wolves. And the shenanigans continue... They will never care what other fluff is written. Haven't finished yet but pretty strange ally rule.
