Where does the Inquisitor go? He's allied Battle Brothers, and Battle Brothers can't use other transports.

It would be kinda funny deploying 5x 4+ scouts and an allied 4+ inquisitor on the board if going 2nd.....

Where does the Inquisitor go? He's allied Battle Brothers, and Battle Brothers can't use other transports.

my guess would be the scouts.

what is the point total on this list? Also I like the assault cannon way more then the Lascannon on the stormraven. more shots and can still pen 14.

Inquisitor hides somewhere out of sight. The scouts go in the storm raven or are deployed. The list has an inbuilt weakness it would seem in that it could easily give away 1st blood to a 1st turn deep striking army. Dropped a grey hunter squad and the scouts, now running a space marine squad in a drop pod. Viable now to start with nothing on the table if at risk of dropping 1st bloody by deploying the inquisitor. List comes in at 1830.....

You take Inquisitors to be force multipliers, not to pay 58pts for a Servo-skull. Why include him, especially since Infiltrators (Scouts) can block enemy Scout moves as well?

[scotticus2]

Im taking him to limit scatter of teh drop pods via teh servo skulls and to allow me to influence reserve rolls.
