Greetings all.

Could somebody fill me in on the inquisition in 7th edition? They were the go to allies for a while, but how are they faring in 7th? What changes have affected them and how?

Cheers!

Out of the new GK book so you need to get codex inquisition of black library

Basically impossible to run as a primary cad so must be taken as unbound or an allies

They are the only ones that have access to the old fun time grenades and psybolt ammo for now but that might change soonish.

Impossible to run in a CAD, true.
But they can be run in a Primary Detachment. Forces of just Inquisition are perfectly fine, you just need to put them into an Inquisitorial Detachment instead of the CAD from the rulebook.
No need to run them Unbound or just as Allies at all.

Well to be fair even as primary detachments they gain no benefit. no reroll WL, no OS. so they might as well unbound and take any number of whatever they want (which can include stuff from other books at that point)

As all of your Psykers may now benefit from the Warp Charge Pool, Inq can spam 28 point units that grant you a single WC (two Acolytes and Psyker).
Three units like that within Razorbacks is a little over 200 points, giving you fire support, three warp charges for your psykers and quick unit to grab objectives.

Inquisitior Psykers are pretty much the same. Psykers are overall pretty good nowadays but on the other hand, access to Divination is no longer special so meh.

And now that Battle Brodahhhs can ride in each other's vehicles the Imperial armies benefit.
I know that my Blood Angels enjoy the possibility to put an Ordo Xenos Inquisitior inside Land Raider to give it Scout.

Overall, some things got slightly better, hardly anything got worse. Still valid.

*18pt units ;-)

Ah, right you are! My bad.
