The idea of my army is just to score points. I have 24 scoring troop choices/dedicated troop transports that I can rack up points with.

I know thats what you think you have. But I worry that actually what you have is 24 Kill Points in your army. What do you want to beat with this army? None of it is obsec. If you want to swamp the board with scoring, you would be MUCH better doing it with Gladius.

I like the list! I think it's nice to see alternatives to the gladius. I really like the options that the inquisition codex brings.

Change one acolyte in every warband for a psyker? 12 almost free warp charges are nice!

Also, 3 servo skulls on one of the inquisitors are worth getting - many people buy the whole 34pt inquisitor for just that. Coteaz is also worth considering - for an 100pt HQ he adds a lot to the army.

If it were me, I'd focus on chimeras over razorbacks - more fire points, higher front AV and a bonus heavy weapon, and cheaper.

If you're open to allies, you might consider a raptor wing instead of the valkyries (2 storm talons + a land speeder that get tank hunter / shred against a target), or the ironstrider cavaliers formation (2 outflanking syndovian dragoons and balistarii). Both of these would provide yet more armour spam for opponents to deal with

Could those be Combined Arms Detachments?

Inquisition don't get them unfortunately - henchmen count as elite choices

Just as a side note, those priests are 25pts per model - did you mean them to be psykers?

Your problem is that you have exactly 0 Troop Choices and DTs, which means not a single one of your units has Objective Secure. Everyone (well, almost) is scoring, and Inquisition suffers from having no ObSec at all - that's why you need allies.

yeh sorry the priests are meant to be psykers.

I would like more chimeras but unfortunately I don't have the models. I could probably get 1 more chimera so I have 4 of them in my list but I wouldn't be able to afford another 8 chimeras :(

I'm thinking of dropping the joakeros but not sure what to replace them with. I could add some allies but I only have devastator SM models (4 plasma cannon models and 4 Missile launcher models) and a vindicare and a load of assassins which probably wont work well in a tournament.

My aim for this army was just to spam as much armour as possible and as many units as possible that were small enough to hide behind cover. Codex inquisition is not super competitive so I don't think I will do well trying to match other armies for firepower so I hope that I can just out manouver them by having so many units I can claim more objectives. As it is a tournament I'm guessing most people will bring Knights or wraighknights or some tau cheese and so I will have a lot more units than them to claim objectives.

What could I replace the joakeros with? I could ally in some guard and replace the valkryies for vendettas

It says in codex inquisition that razoebacks and chimeras are dedicated transports. yeh youre right I have 0 troop choices, they count as scoring elites not troop choices my mistake

I think you missed his point. EVERYONE has "scoring elites." Every single army. Inquisition is not special in this regard.
What other armies have that you don't is Objective Secured, which means they will claim the objective even if you are also within range of it. And even if they don't have ObSec, then neither of you will claim it.

I understand but unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it because that is my codex. My aim is to have 24 scoring units so I can claim more objectives because I will outnumber the opposition and be more mobile and be able to get to more objectives etc. I;m not sure if it will work or not but I don't see any other way how I can play inquisition in a tournament scene because my codex is pretty weak in terms of matching the top tier codices for firepower.

Why do you have so many psykers? I would invest in something that can use those warp charges.

The razor spam with psybolt isn't bad.

The obsec thing isn't as bad as people are making it out to be, if you're areas competitive and has many gladius you'll lose a lot but if not it'll be fine.

Why so many inquisitors too? Trim the fat

I have to have 4 inquisitors because I need to take 4 FOC or Cads (whatever it is called) because in inquisiton codex you can have 3 elite choices and 1 or 2 inquisitors per foc so I need 4 inquisitors so I can have 12 units of troops.

Well if you park two chimeras on an objective I guess that's as good as Objective Secured! Tank shock does not suck.
