What is everyones thought on this?

Can get a cheap psyker for 10 points so a few of them in different units would give you quite a few warp charges and be able to summon daemons.

You can do it but generally it is looked down upon for fluff reasons: the inquisition would never look to daemons for help lest they be denounced as heretics.

#cough# daemonhosts..

You'd probably need Coteaz to get enough psykers in play to make it worthwhile.

Also its possible they are restricted from taking maelific.. but its one of those things you can only confirm with the updated Ebook version..

You need 5 warp charges to get a 50% chance to cast summoning, not worth it if you don't have more, esp. if daaemons are come the apocalypse allies.
You need 7 charges for summoning to work most of the time. You WILL perils.

HERETIC!

The Daemonhosts are generally used to intergate Daemons not to use them to fight.

is there anything stopping me from using possession on my inquisition psyker and getting a bloodthirster etc? or sacrifice etc etc. if so that would make inquisition a bit more competitive as they have access to such cheap psykers

Fluff wise you could say that the inquisitor has gone crazy and succombed to the evils of chaos.

Sure, heretic inquisition is a work around... If you, as a loyalist, want to field a chaos army.

is there anything stopping me from using possession on my inquisition psyker and getting a bloodthirster etc?

The fact that they can't take maelific daemonology?

Grey Knights may not have access to Malefic, but I do not believe codex: Inquisition has that restriction

Codex: Inquisition does not allow Inquisitors to take Maelific, as it is not listed on their available psychic powers.

According to the 7th edition rulebook:
"Unless otherwise stated, all Psykers, other than those belonging to the Tyranids Faction, can generate powers from the Daemonology discipline."

It does not mention anything about Codex: Inquisition in the rulebook, and as there is no FAQ for Inquisition, it is safe to say that any psyker from the Inquisition codex can roll on Malefic or Sanctic Daemonology

The Codex specifically does not allow Inquisitors or Psykers to access malefic. Edited to remove points costs only.

this is the confusing part and an example of GW not being clear,

the rulebook states that unless otherwise specifically stated all psykers can take malefic. In C:GK it specifically states that they do not have access to malefic. so is specifically stated meaning that it is specifically prohibited as shown in the GK codex.
Codex inquisition states the powers the psykers have access to but it does not prohibit them from malefic like the GK codex does.

the rulebook states that all psykers can generate powers from malefic. the codex inquisition codex dooes not prohibit inquisition from using malefic, it just doesnt list it as a discipline that the inquisition psykers know, but the 40k rulebook states that inquisition psykers do know that discipline unless something specifically states that they do not eg C GK.

ok just an update, there is an FAQ that SPECIFICALLY states that Inquisition are PROHIBITED from malefic daemon powers.

Neither does Codex Chaos Daemons. Only 7th ed codex's would, which is why the rulebook states that anyone, save Grey Knights can take it.

Unless there is a rule prohibiting taking Malefic, you just have to roll a 6 on the table. I usually have 8 rolls on Malefic and I don't always get it.
Note that you perils if you fail to cast possession.

@dark black: By that logic, Eldar can still roll malefic. They have a specific list of disciplines they can access and malefic is not among them. Just like inquisition has a specific list and malefic is not among them. I screenshoted it above. The specificity of the Codex trumps the BRB.

I dont know about eldar but the inquisition had a FAQ where it states in the FAQ that inq cannot get malefic

I think you need to read between the lines. The rulebook says you can take Malefic if not specifically restricted otherwise, but that was clearly a blanket statement at the start of 7th in order to update everybody at once. Subsequent releases (Eldar) and updates (Inquisition) which state Daemonology (Sanctic) clearly indicate that they have access to Sanctic only and not Malefic. Why else would it state that?
