I havent looked at the inquisition codex yet, why is everyone taking an inquisitor?

All the crazy rules that made grey knights good can now be used to help out other codex's that previously did not have those options available to them.
Plus they are cheap for what you get.



Edited for spelling.


News flash Nick won without screamer star. Flying circus with the grim. and Fate

You bring inquisition for servo skulls.

Prevent grav from alpha striking your army.

Screamerstar is the worst death star of the lot and not actually very good if your opponent has a clue what they're doing.

What is a screamerstar and what is this "grav" you're preventing? I'm not up on the current build nicknames since the Apoc at 1500pts 6e isn't exactly my thing.

Screamerstar:
A max unit of screamers of Tzeentch (jetbikes with melta melee and impact hits if moving over enemies) Joined by 4 heralds looking for the 4++ power in Divination with one equipped with the Grimoire to hopefully give the unit a 2++ rerollable save. Usually accompanied by Fateweaver to re-roll failed Grimoire attempts.

Grav guns are a new class of special weapon which chews up highly armored targets because it wounds you on your armor save value at AP2. They get 3 shots each at 18" and are usually taken enmasse on scouting bikes for a potent alpha strike.

Ah, thanks. I had heard of grav guns but it didn't click as I figured it was some cute name like *.* star that had little to do with the actual unit.

Grimwulfe, you give all pure SW players hope! I'll be reworking my Plasmagasm Loganwing list tomorrow.

Can I ask why you kept CC weapons on the WG over pistols? Was is just annoying modeling? Also, what was your strategy for dealing with those FMCs?

Looking at some of those lists showcases why we need Comp scores again. Most of those should have been dinged so hard on anything resembling army theme that they'd never win even if they went undefeated. After all that used to be the purpose of Comp - to punish people who ignored and/or abused the fluff and background of the army just to get the W.

I mean really... the background/fluff is all 40k really has going for it, yet it's bastardized buy utter ridiculousness designed just to min/max.

Quick question on the winning list: is there a record of which armies he faced? It's a strong list but I think Tyranids may have had the tools to deal with it.

I think so too, and I was scheduled to play Nick in round #1 with my 'Nids, but I overslept. :(

I wrote an article going over all of my games on torrent of fire. http://www.torrentoffire.com/4339/how-the-win-went-down

Congratulations on a well deserved victory! No doubt you had some strong opponents and faced some very good lists. I would love to have seen you play Blackmoor, as Nids are a a bit of a wrench in the metas gears.

I don't think Blackmoor would have won that match TBH. I am sure Nick has experience versus them .

Its 9 pts of wargear that completely shuts down infiltrating and scout, as well as making battle brother armies deepstrike and ordnance scatter less. Its essentially 34pts to stop white scars in their tracks.

I'm pretty sure Nick has more experience with Nids than most. His blue and purple bugs hit the table often

Comp will never come back. Too many complainers. The irony is that the ally rules allow incredible abuses, and also can lelt you play a truly fluffy army ( I finally can play an Ordo Xenos Inq with Deathwatch marines)

The main reason to keep the pistols because at that point h2h weps don't matter. The pistols will enable you to get in another round of shooting before you charge. All my models have axes so its just a list thing. As for FMC they are tough no doubt. I played 2 flying circuses the first day. The best way to deal with them is use the 7 pods to try and ground them and once they are on the ground melta and plasma them. If you can single them out it is effective. Also going first is a huge help because they start on the ground. I focused on the missions and because of that was able to out play the FMC to an extent. And Arjac is the man he was definitely my MVP of the tourney that guy can tank anything if you roll well enough. 5 attacks str 10 hammer on the charge is amazing.

Inquisitors, in addition to the utility of their servo skulls can also force magnify cheaply with Divination. Not sure if that was done with these lists or not.

Hilarious to see so many Ordo Xenos inquisitors running around with Tau forces. And by hilarious I mean sad.

I personally think the Dark Eldar/Eldar/Inquisitor combo breaks credulity significantly more. At least the tau have some redeeming features but Dark Eldar??

All those inquisitors just went radical and decided that it was a good idea to recruit an army of xenos to fight their battles for them.

Yup, all of them did. The inquisition left fighting for humanity is only a skeleton crew whereas wholesale bands of =I= decided to fight for the greater good as well as to prevent the extinction of the Eldar race. Maybe when FW comes out with the Emperor figure, he can battlebrother it up with those xenos as well as a Lord of War choice.

The Tau/Eldar/Inquisition combo is bad and those players should feel bad. Anyways, Reece and the funky bunch have made all of their events 2 detachments max.

Not that I am complaining, but I went up against a unit with:

2 2+/3++ Chapter Masters
Tigirius
Coteaz
Inquisitor

Yes, that was all in 1 unit and they beat down my 2 wraithstar units with the help of Prescience, Forewarning, Misfortune and force weapons. Ouch!

Yeah, that anomaly has got to go.

That's surprising. I would've expected the wraithstar to tie them up pretty well... what unit were they all attached to? They must've generated some crazy amount of wounds.

Edit: D'oh, I just saw Misfortune in there. Youch!

You should toot your own horn Reecius, you wrote a good article on BOLS.
