=====Dedicated Transports===== None, but you can use any Imperium transport, and some are better than others. Remember, the only restrictions you can ignore are Faction keywords; restrictions don't actually tell you which keywords are Faction and which are not, but it's possible to back-solve this by studying datasheets, so presumably you can't load up your Acolytes in e.g. a Land Speeder Storm, as {{W40Kkeyword|scout}} is (we think) not a Faction keyword, there is a much less clear argument to be made around {{W40Kkeyword|Primaris}}. You can take an up-gunned transport, of course, but you can't buff it like the models' home factions usually can in some fashion, so usually, even a normally deeply compelling option, such as a Twin Assault Cannon Razorback, becomes less than compelling under the Inquisition - the more you're interested in that sort of transport, the more you should be looking into a mixed army. *'''Null-Maiden Rhino''' **This is the reason why you should ''never'' take a standard Space Marine Rhino - this is the same vehicle for 10 points less, except it can't take a second Storm Bolter, and you shouldn't be spending 12 points to strap a second Storm Bolter on. **Likewise, you shouldn't be taking a Sororitas Rhino over this - Shield of Faith is worth the 3 point charge over a Space Marine Rhino, but not the 13 points it would take you to upgrade from this one. **Most other Imperium transports cost more than this does, and none have the better capacity per point, but it will limit you to 10 models at once. *'''Drop Pod''' **You can Deep Strike in one and show up immediately, but it's ''very'' expensive for what you get; if you want to Deep Strike in, you should consider an Elysian Valkyrie (a Flyer, not a Dedicated Transport) instead. *'''Repressor''' **The heaviest option you can take in the Dedicated Transport slot. Functionally a tougher, shootier Rhino, it boasts +2 Wounds, +1 WS, a Heavy Flamer and the option to take a second, a nasty Dozer Blade and, most importantly, 6 Firing Ports. This last one combines very, very nicely with your Acolyte squads in the same way the Sisters use it for Dominions. Load up an Acolyte squad with Plasma, Melta, Storm Bolters, Combi-weapons, whatever your fancy is, and drive around shooting up your enemy's units while your dudes sit cozy and (relatively) safe. *'''Taurox Prime''' **The Taurox's bigger, angrier brother. With good BS and an impressive selection of weaponry for its points, the Taurox Prime is the new king of metal boxes. It won't last long with T6 and 10W, but it'll make back its points in the meantime. Your two options for firepower are the twin Gatling gun and hot-shot volley guns or the twin autocannons and mini-battle cannon, which has been buffed in 8th. The Gatling array is better vs infantry, while the cannon array is better vs multi wound targets (while you can mix your firepower, it's not recommended that you do so - you want to be able to bring all your guns to bear at once, and completely destroying enemy units is more important than ever, since many armies have a medic equivalent that can resurrect fallen models). The Taurox Missile Launcher, firing 2d6 Frag or 2 Krak Missiles, is also viable, though it raises the cost significantly. Still, two Krak missiles and successful autocannons can take just about anything down. If an Inquisitor is looking for an effective fire support vehicle, the Taurox Prime may be the best all-around option. </div> <div style="margin-left: 1em;>
