I can almost guarantee they will not be, lol. GW has basically never succeeded at making inquisition work, and they are so fractured and nonfunctional in 8th.

Just by keywords alone, their list has been so badly splintered it's impossible to field.

If you want to know my perfect wish list for an inquisition setup, it would be this:

IMPERIAL AGENTS

A detachment that includes 1 or more Inquisitor may be designated as an IMPERIAL AGENTS detachment. IMPERIAL AGENTS detachments gain no rules linked to <subfaction> traits, but may be composed of units with the following keywords:

INQUISITION
ASTRA MILITARUM
ADEPTA SORORITAS*
DEATHWATCH**
GREY KNIGHTS***
OFFICIO ASSASSINORUM
SISTERS OF SILENCE
ASTRA TELEPATHICA
ADEPTUS MINISTORUM

*Only if one or more INQUISITORS with the ORDO HERETICUS keyword are present
**Only if one or more INQUISITORS with the ORDO XENOS keyword are present
***Only if one or more INQUISITORS with the ORDO MALLEUS keyword are present

That, alongside a couple of rules updates, would give you a perfectly fluffy, but not OP/competitive, imperial agents matched play setup.


I mean.... the units would all become pretty much garbage that way. DW with no SIA? Even worse Grey Knights? Sisters with no prayers? They'd need something major to compensate.


nnnno? Deathwatch with no Mission Protocols, Grey Knights with no....what actually IS the GK chapter tactic? and Sisters with no Ordo tactic. None of those rules you listed are linked to <subfaction>. Though I suppose in the case of GK and DW you would need to specify that they don't get Mission Tactics/Grey Knight Thingy, because they don't have a <subfaction> choice.

And yeah, the goal would be to make Imperial Agents NOT the best way to run Deathwatch (for example) by granting them access to Imperial Guardsmen as troop choices. just to make the various Imperial Agents units actually fieldable outside of a way overcommitted detachment.


All those things are pretty critical to those units being mildly competitive. And they're really not then. Honestly, trying to jam all of them into a single codex seems like the hard way to go about it. It'd be substantially easier to just give the respective Ordos a rule that lets them be taken in associated detachments as if they had the keyword. Don't make Deathwatch fit into an Eisenhorn detachment; just let Eisenhorn be taken in a Deathwatch one.

That would also work. However, I think you might have complaints about being able to add a unit like Acolytes to deathwatch.

All I'm saying is, if you add inquisiton to existing factions, you are opening up the possibility that they displace currently taken options within that faction. I've had it happen to my GSC, where there's currently no reason to take Neophytes when Brood Brothers exist, and it sucks.

I don't know that acolytes are going to be 8ppm guardsmen after this rule update. Maybe they'll be totally gone, since they don't make models for them anymore. Maybe they'll be updated to be good.

End of the day, if they want any imperial agents stuff to meaningfully exist, it needs to work in matched play 3 detachment limit games. Otherwise it will stay purely casual-only narrative play like it is now.

I mean, it's really the ammo that keeps Deathwatch alive, not the selective rerolling of 1's to wound. Grey Knights LOL who cares? Sisters...are mediocre without the traits basically and rely on cheapish bodies with good weapon saturation.

That said, eliminating those things because the Inquisition is present is pretty fething stupid. I don't think even GW would be that daft but they never fail to surprise me nowadays.

I hope the work like assassins where they can be added to a list as a stratagem. Bonus points if the same point cost as assassins.

In terms of rules, buffs to Grey Knights and Sisters would make the valid outside of fluffy games. I'd love a reason to play them.

Unfortunately he lost his Bombardment thing I think. If he gets it back I would be so tempted to bring him in an Imperial Fists bombardment spam I've been theory crafting.

I'd be surprised if they get any changes to their options at all. Terminator armor is still limited to Malleus Inquisitors. That doesn't exactly raise confidence that options were added or opened up.

Plus the way GW writes rules these days, a White Dwarf codex adds stratagems, warlord traits, relics, psyker powers - all stuff that doesn't have anything to do with the actual datasheets.

8th ed is designed to be top heavy with a rotten foundation. No reason to believe the Inquisition will be any different.

It suggests the daemonhost is the same inoffensive bullet-catcher it always was. The Jokaeros weapon cost has shot right down though so that may have changed.

I wonder if they'll be able to take transports without having to ally in the rest of the army this time. I also would like to know why the inquisitors are one per detachment in their own detachment, that just adds to the awkwardness of trying to field them.

2 S3 Ap-2 D1 shots at 9" compared to 4 S4 Ap- D1 shots at 12" for half the cost...hmmmm....

Acolytes better be back up to 2W for 8ppm. An A2 guardsman with the ability to intercept wounds, no orders and no Troops slot is not an 8pt model.

I just did a quick look on Battlescribe - maybe it's wrong, or maybe the OM Inquisitor comes with some weapons as a baseline that cost points?
