Hello 40k online!
Yes this is my first post, and yes I do have some newbie questions to ask, but I would also like to get a critique on this list that I've been working on.
I collected Necrons before Daemonhunters, and adopted a style akin to 'air' players, with excessive use of teleportation, destroyers and wraiths. Now I've taken up Daemonhunters. I've gone ahead with buying and painting a relatively large starter army. The only problem is settling on a 1000 point list I'm happy with.
In the group I play with there are a few MEQ's, IG, Tau, Eldar and a recently started Ork player.
In terms of models that are available to me, as well as what you see in this list, I have 10 Greyknights, another Inquisitor (w/Plasmapistol and Thunderhammer) 3 Plasmacolytes and a spare Heavy Bolter heavy weapons base.
Although the list here lacks a lot of the mobility that I'm used to in my Necron army, my plan was to produce a 1000 point list that would provide a solid base to build a 1500 point list with mechanised Stormtroopers which would include squads of Grey Knights and Terminators. Meanwhile the Chimeras and Sentinel would provide at least limited mobility, while the Eversor is a low cost unit, designed to keep the enemy worried about it, rather than the battle cannon on the other side of the board.
I originally wrote this list so that the inquisitors retinue had 3 Heavy Bolter Gun Servitors, and the 2nd Armoured fist had a heavy bolter as well, I decided that this was simply heavy bolter saturation, as I would of had 12 AP4 Heavy 3 weapons on the table! So after some points juggling, I settled with giving the Daemonhunters some much needed heavy firepower.
If you care to do the maths, you'd find that I didn't pay full price for the terminator armour. My reasoning is that the Inquisitor Lord is already paying for the power armour he comes with, so when you get the terminator armour it replaces the power armour and the points value of the power armour can be put towards the terminator armour. My newbie question is (if you understood my wording), is that legal?
Anyway, without further delay, I give you my army list:

I'll welcome any and all comments, criticisms, suggestions and advice. Although it should be noted that the thunderhammers and familiar are fluff items and I'd rather not remove them.

EDIT
It would also be possible for me to replace the inquisitor lord with a GK Brother Captain w/psycannon and then downgrade the lord to a regular inquisitor. The BC could then join the inquisitors retinue and provide more mobile fire-support.
