In these situations Inquisitors can offer a big upside, since their Authority of the Inquisition rule means they don’t take up a detachment slot in an IMPERIUM detachment. This pushes players toward taking a single detachment if possible, with the big consequence of that being that suddenly getting all of the HQ units you want in an army can be a real crunch – many armies want 4 HQs but a Battalion only offers 3 slots. The changes to army construction now put the emphasis on taking fewer detachments, with players paying CP for the detachments they take instead of gaining them. There are two major changes to 9th edition’s rules that massively affect how Inquisitors work: Army Construction With the release of Psychic Awakening: Pariah, these rules were tweaked a bit to restrict the inclusion of Inquisitors to Patrol, Battalion, or Brigade detachments and as we enter 9th edition, and made it so that Inquisitors and Assassins occupy the same “slot.” The big question here is: Are Inquisitors still a worthwhile addition to an imperial army? Let’s dive in and find out. Similar to Assassins, Inquisitors got a major overhaul midway through 8th edition thanks to the release of a White Dwarf Index article that updated their rules and gave armies the ability to add an Inquisitor to an IMPERIUM detachment via a special rule that allowed them to soup in to detachments without affecting a faction’s detachment abilities (such as Combat Doctrines). In today’s Faction Focus, we’re looking at the impact of the new edition’s points and rules changes on Inquisitors. 9th edition is out in the wild, and with it a whole raft of changes to the factions of Warhammer 40,000.
