Here we go, after tons of time working on this.......
[BEGIN COPY AND PASTE MODE]
Recommended Revisions:
Inquisitors (this is really no different than it is now, just better organized)
Ld 9 Inquisitor
Ld10 Inquisitor Lord
-Inquisitor Lords belong to an Ordo. Chose one of the three Ordos that theor Lo Inquisitrd belongs to an apply the special rules that Ordo provides.
Blackship
-Blackship with an Inquisitor Lord is discouraged from upgrading because it cannot board. Instead, the Ordo Inquisitor should get a free reroll to mitigate the fact that it cannot use the boarding and H&R bonuses it is paying for. This would also represent the ability to utilize the psychic power of the Blackship.
-Blackship should not award renown for surviving because that only gives you the reward in campaigns. This should reward VPs if it survives. If it dies, the killer gets an extra 200vps (like it usually gives). If the Blackship survives uncrippled and not disengaged, it give the Inquisitor player 200vps.
Grey Knight Battle Barge needs its own page (I have already created it)
Inquisitorial Cruiser (now 270 pts with the following rules)
-1 Inquisitorial Cruiser allowed per 2 Grey Knight Strike Cruisers. (if a Rogue Trader can have multiple RT cruisers, surely an Inquisitor can get more than 1 Inquisitorial Cruiser considering an Inquisitor's authority...)
Ordos
All of the ordos have problems. First off, the Ordo Xenos offering Xenos fleets D6x50 pts of escorts is hilariously bad. That has to go. There should not be a roll like that that can tip the game so much before the game even starts. Also, since we don't use Holofields from the original Eldar, the Ordo Xenos bonus has to change. The Ordo Malleus isn't so bad. It may need some rebalancing because of point changes to Marks and Daemonships. Ordo Hereticus gets screwed.
Proposed Ordo Changes (making your admiral an Inquisitor Lord from one of the following Ordos will give you some options):
Ordo Hereticus
-Canoness Superior (secondary commander exactly like they are in the IN list). This is a Sisters of Battle Order head.
-May take any Imperial, Adeptus Mechanicus, or Space Marines ships based off of the restrictions on those fleets with no penalty. This is due to the Ordo Hereticus being called upon to monitor other Imperial organizations. This way, we don't need weird rules for taking Inquisitors in other fleets. It would be considered that Inquisitors used with Imperial or Space Marine fleets, etc., would be Ordo Hereticus, which I think is entirely fluffy Ordo Malleus and Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Lords are too busy leading the Grey Knights and the Deathwatch.
Ordo Malleus
-Brother-Captain (secondary commander exactly like they are in the IN list). This is a high ranking Grey Knight.
-Able to take Grey Knight Purifiers (functinon as Honor Guard) and Grey Knight Paladins (function as Terminators). These are the two orders of Grey Knights and I think that would be fluffy and fitting.
-Ordo Malleus ships are immune to the effects of Marks of Chaos. When fighting Chaos, the Chaos player may take 1 Mark of Chaos for free on any vessel of his choosing, within the rules restrictions per Ordo Malleus upgrade taken.
Ordo Xenos
-Watch Captain (secondary commander exactly like they are in the IN list)
-May take Deathwatch Kill-team (counts as Terminators). I think this is fitting and fluffy. Deathwatch = the best of the best.
-Any Hit and Runs caused by Space Marines in a fleet led by an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Lord may roll twice and choose their result. Xenos fleets fighting a fleet let by an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Lord may take another reroll on their admiral for free.
*all Ordos still have +2 to boarding, +1 to H&Rs, and -1 to H&Rs against it.
Refits
All Inquisitors should be able to purchase from a simple refit list. Consider the old BFG:R Inquisition fleet.
*The last page in the 2010 Inquisition document can be simplified greatly into quick bullet points. It doesn't need to be so dang big and bloated.
*I know that it is asking a lot, but I think the Grey Knight Strike Cruiser should be called an "Inquisition Strike Cruiser" because Grey Knights are only Ordo Malleus. Inquisition Strike Cruisers can be strike cruisers belonging to the Deathwatch as well.
