So I've always loved the Inquisition, the fluff, the models, the theme. However, I've never been one for the super-human warriors of the Astartes, nor the spartan purity of the Sororitas. Just the idea of mere men pitted against the horrors of the galaxy.
For that reason I've decided to do what I've always wanted, and to build an Inquisition army without the aid of the Chamber Militants. The Ordo Hereticus is my favorite of the three branches, and is the one I will be using.
I understand that this won't be the most competitive army in the world, and I don't really expect it to be, I just want something I'll enjoy painting and will look pretty cool. I've decided to use Forgeworld Death Korps models for the Guard (the Inquisitor's own army), as I think they fit the overall look of the army. The Arbites will be Necromunda Enforcers, and the Priest leading them will be represented by the Crusader henchman model (representing an Arbites Judge).
But other than that, here's the list so far, 2,000 points

So, the idea is to start the Lance Strike in the enemy DZ to tempt them forward into the close combat units, under covering fire from the Guard. The Stormtroopers and Arbites (probably advancing behind the Rhino rather than in it) will be my objective grabbers.
So go ahead, tear it apart
