I've tried this once before. I'm thinking it'll be a little more successful this time 'round. My big concern at the 1000 point level is my lack of AT. However, I can hope that at the 1000 point level, they may not have much to shoot at. >.> This is a semi-themed army with the inclusion of the Inquisitor and Commissar. I've tried to make them less of a point-sink, though I might be convinced to give up the Commissar if I have to. My favorite unit in the whole of Warhammer 40k is the Independent Commissar. My original conception had the Inquisitor pegged at close to 300 points. -_-

My philosophy is somewhat (counter) assaulty. Also, no mecha. Yeah, yeah. I know. At the 1500 point level, I'll probably throw some in.

Broad idea- The Inquisitor, Commissar, and the Two JO's kitted up for assault perform counter-assault / assault tasks, followed by the two platoons who are Warrior-weaponed. The shooty elements... well, shoot. The Conscripts are in there, honestly, as cannon fodder / body count. The list is pretty vanilla, a "jumping point" mostly, to gather your input. Other than any major changes to the Inquisitor, I'm open to suggestion.

As far as the Doctrines, I took Drop Troops and Close-Order Drill because they were free. Not sure if they're practical.

the inquisitor setup is all wrong! it may sound good on paper, but its really a point sink. you can keep the eviserator on the lord but crusaders are not worth it. the best setup i've seen is 3 heavy weapon servitors with 2 sages. also throwing in some familiars and pentients.

i'm really hoping for some new options when the codex comes out. the inquisitor needs to be reworked.... bad.

Er... my Inquisitor isn't supposed to be shooty. His role is an assault one. Your setup sounds awesome for a Shooty Inquisitor.

hmmmm, well you can do an assault inquisitor but they are a little harder to make effective

but crusaders are still a bad option. combat servitors are the better route to go. str 3 gets you nowhere.

I hate to say it, but there's a flaw in your army list. Any doctrines must be applied to all eligible units unless otherwise specified. Therefore, you must give warrior weapons to all of your Guard Infantry units.
