The rules for an inquisitor in 40K say they can use any transport - fairly simple to understand my existing Inquisitor rides in a valkyrie (but this is part of the IG army shes attatched to)

For my next Inquisitor I fancy kitting him out with a Land raider my only confusion with this is that it has the transport keyword but is a heavy support choice for a astartes army

can anybody help clear this up? can a inquisitor take a raider as his/hers dedicated transport?

"his/hers dedicated transport" is not a thing anymore really, It has changed from a few editions ago.

The rules for an inquisitor in 40K say they can ride in any Imperium Transport

In matched play, If you have a "IMPERIUM TRANSPORT" Land Raider in your army, then the inquisitor can ride in it because of his "Authority of the Inquisition" rule, as long as the inquisitor is "INFANTRY"

Let's make sure we are answering the right question.

As DeathReaper states, Inquisitors can ride in any Imperium transport because of the Authority of the Inquisition rule. Baked into that is the transport needs to be legal for the army for the army it's attached to.

If the question is whether an Inquisitor can ride in a Land Raider in an Astartes army, the answer is yes.

If the question is whether an Inquisitor can ride in an Land Raider in an Astra Militarum army, the answer is no. Land Raiders are not a valid unit for the Astra Militarum. You would need an Astartes detachment for that purpose.

Unless playing Open/Narrative of course, then go nuts. But if using Battle Forged rules you need a legal way to get the Land Raider into your army via an appropriate Astartes detachment, then add Inquisitor to taste.

Awesome thanks for the replies

one last scenario to think about though -

Taking an all inquisition army; for example: a vanguard detachment of just 1 inquisitor and 4 teams of acolytes

there's no other faction to tie down their transport choice, I would've thought this is a possible way round to a raider?

Yes and no.

Authority of the inquisition let's them use any imperium transport. It doesn't give you any ability to add a transport to your army that you otherwise can't.

An inquisition detachment CAN include one type of land raider - the inquisition land raider prometheus ( the one with quad heavy bolter sponsons) but not generic land raiders.


That's because a generic land raider remains an astartes heavy support choice, so only an Astartes detachment can include one.

The inquisitor doesn't get a transport of their own - the rule just allows them to make use of whatever transports the army you're embedding them in normally has - be it chimeras, razorbacks, immolators, corvus blackstar or coronus grav carrier.

The Inquisitor Prometheus has been legended so you can't use it in Matched play (unless the opponent or TO allows of course) - but you don't need an Astartes detcachment, just take an Auxillery Support detachment innit

Legends are still legal in matched play, no permission from opponent required. Legends are not recommended for organised play by GW.

Legends are the kind of thing you should talk with your opponent about. They're explicitly NOT being updated, so even by GW standards they can be massively out of whack with costs and possibly statlines.

Nothing in the Prometheus seems gratuitously bad or OP or anything like that, but it's still the kinda thing to be polite and ask about.

That being said-if you wanted to take a Land Raider for your pure Inquisition detachment, I'd be fine just slotting in any existing Land Raider datasheet as an Inquisition unit. It's not a good army on its own, and Land Raiders aren't a good unit, so... Yeah, go nuts, have fun.

As noted by PaddyMick, the legal way to include a transport in your Inquistion force is via the Auxiliary Support Detachment.
