Sounds great so far. Do you want this list to be playable within the ITC ruleset? How about a daemonhost for the star plus the mace for the priest to give him fleshbane/armorbane?

And how do you get arco-flaggelant attacks rending?

And do you really need the astropath? Otherwise you could build that crusader flagelkant unit without the tax of acolytes as a ministorum delegation and take the inqui on its own.

Ya know I was thinking about getting back into the game. But this really kinda makes me question my desire too. I know I am what is classified as a "Power gamer" or a WAAC player and so I would take something like this and probably play against something pretty much equally as silly.

But a Turn 1 charge with 80ish attacks at around str 6-7, a 2++ re-rollable save, likely rerolling to hit, maybe even making the unit invisible just to add salt, and half a dozen other crazy shenanigans

Yeah this is just nuts. I'm going to think long and hard before I get back into this game.

I run my inquisition something like this:

Option A:
Three squads of
2 acolytes and a psyker (18 points)
Sitting in the backfield, holding objectives or providing psychic support, usually of the divination variety.

Option B:
Three squads of
2 acolytes and a psyker in a rhino or razorback (53 or 58 points), flamer optional.
Turn 1, they can often get in range for psychic shriek. Otherwise, they still hold objectives better, and can be priority targets for Tau players, buying the rest of your army time.

If you go for three razorbacks, you're spending 174 points on three serious threats with transports that can also dish out a fair bunch of damage. Build your deathstar (if any) out of other army's units.
