These ordo rules just seem like glorified SM rules to me. Inquisitors should not get re-rolls. Not entirely enamoured with the idea of an Inquisitor fleet. Inquisitors should be a quirky (at most) upgrade to a particular ship. Black ships are glorified transports, not ships of battle. The inclusion of Inquisitorial ships (such as Grey Knights, etc) should be a one-off, not a fleet wide thing.

SoB could give +1 to boarding, but I'd leave it at that, forget the H&R bonus. GKs are, of course, just SMs. Have them ignore Ld penalties when fighting against Chaos. That's about it. Storm Troopers are insignificant, they should give no bonus.

Hey Sig,
They are not getting a fleet of their own. They can be added to an imperial or marine fleet.

Was there suppossed to be a way to just play GK if someone wanted too? I thought I remembered that being part of the discussion (and the only way to play a pure INQ fleet)

Yeah, the 2010 list is indeed a fleet on its own but we (?) / ones who talked about it decided to remove an own Inquisitor fleet list because it just did not fit with what the inquisition is.

I agree with that. I also didn't want to stop a pure Grey Knight fleet though, because they do operate at times like a normal SM chapter AND if someone actually bought that many GK SC, it would suck not to have a list. BUT if loosing that option is the price of make INQ ships add on to fleets only I am okay with that and someone could always just play pure GK for fun without a fleet list.

We could put a pure GK fleet list in ASC 2.0 and just leave the BFG:R INQ list as upgrades for IN, Ad Mech and SM

I dont see the problem. The Ordo Malleus allows you to take a grey Knight fleet. Use a SMfeet and swap with GKSCs and a GK battle barge.

Yup, build a Marine fleet, paint it as Grey Knights, take an Inquisitor as commander, add the correct Ordos.
