15 points spare. Im thinking of sticking it on the Inquisitor to Arm/Armour him or possibly into his retinue. Im thinking maybe a Hellrifle.

Thoughts?

4 incinerators in 2 different purifier squads seems a bit "overkill"-ish, especially on a squad that has such a good psypower to deal with horde armies to begin with. Even though the incinerator is a free upgrade, I don't think using 4 in a single squad will really gain you that much, let alone in 2 squads.

I agree Elmir. Also doesn't taking the incinerator take away their Force Weapon? So you no longer have that option when attacking. I think you should only have one maybe 2, since the purifiers have the anti-horde power. And maybe get some more halberds, or heck just keep the free sword. Or get some psycannons and force the enemy to come to you.

As for the Inquisitor, I don't know how many points they are but I would get the Xeno flavor with a plasma siphon, only if you think you might face someone with plasma weapons and keep him near the Terminators. Although with the Gun Servitors you will probably just want to plant then somewhere.

Well the inquisitor and his retinue sit in the Chimera. For 150ish points i get 5 Heavy Bolters, a LasCannon and the Hellrifle all sat in an armoured bunker. I dont fear shortrange plasma enough to warrant the syphon.

As for the Purifiers i will use these in 2 very different ways. They will be broken down into Combat Squads. The Incinerators and 1 hammer in the Razorback to Soften up the enemy lines. I know this leaves them lacking in combat ability but to me it makes them a better lure to pull enemy units to them so either Crowe or the other half of the unit (4 halberds 1 hammer) can counter assault them. The incinerators may seem overkill but if i can guarantee a unit beibg wiped out, and not just reduced then all the better.

This is only the tactic for the Purifiers btw. Ill be using the Vindicare and riflemen dreads to pick out any powerfists etc or soften up units on the whole.

Im open to suggestions for change but tbh the only thing id really be happy reconsidering is the Inquisitor and his friends and that doesnt leave much room.

Chimera only have 5 fire points. And hellrifles aren't exactly scary. Nor is a single BS3 lascannon.

I know Chimera's have 5 fire points. Hence the 5 guns (2 of them are on the Chimera). The Las Cannon on the Jokaero is only a Bonus plus it can be a Multimelta or (and most usefully) a Heavy Flamer if needs be. Its the chance at 48" Rending HB's i like from him, and the Hellrifle might not be 'scary' but its an extra S6 AP3 shot at decent range that can take out infantry or even help the LasCannon if needed since it has Rending already.

[DarkLink]

Either way, I'd stick with a Conversion Beamer on the Inquisitor, if you're going to be sitting back and shooting.

Ive reconsidered the Inquisitors role somewhat....

Ok ok...one more idea....

Not sure on which Henchmen to use. The Assasins are REDICULOUS. A smaller squad than that can wipe out a unit of Marines but their not as survivable. The Crusaders are like a mini version of the Shield Termie Tactic with the Grenades and the HQ in there. Just a shame they dont have a transport but theyre a nice cheap distraction that can do some SERIOUS damage if theyre allowed to. Im leaning more towards the Assasin simply because of the I6/WS4/S4 with those power weapons where as the Crusaders are only I3/S3 and have a single attack.
