Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Imperium (section)

====Tactics====
'''NOFOS'''
There are a number of good options for a single Inquisitor. These can be added to detachments without penalty so are the best SM option, to make best use of them you must spend 1CP on the Inquisitorial Mandate stratagem.

*'''Top Tier'''
**Basic Inquisitor - CP farming - Mental Interrogation psychic power, Esoteric Lore warlord trait and Seize For Interrogation stratagem; switch the bolt pistol for a Boltgun and take the Blackshroud Relic. For support swap Mental Interrogation for Terrify.
**Coteaz - Points efficient all-rounder - at 3 casts and 2 denies (taking the warlord trait) with solid offense and defense and an interesting ability. What's not to love?
**Rex - Deny the witch - With the right warlord trait he can potentially know 3, cast 3 and deny 4 (with +1 within 12"), he's a tank, and amazing against daemons. The best caster and denier, a solid option but almost twice the points of a basic inquisitor.
**Karamazov - LD buff/ Hold the line - LD11 in a 12" bubble is going to make guardsmen hold their ground and makes a nice counter-charger. Your trade off is no psychic powers but some psychic defense.
 
*'''From middling to bad'''
**Greyfax - Hector Rex is a better denier if you're prepared to pay a premium. While at 5 pts more Coteaz is better in almost every way except denial (The +1 to deny decreases the odds of a successful cast, relative to a normal deny, by ~10% for a WC 5 power, dropping to ~5% for WC 8 power). Still its a widely owned model so it will see play.
**Eisenhorn - He's fun, the demonhost mechanic is cool and a great model but the other inquisitors synergise better. Notably, he can cast two Telethesia powers, rather just one and a smite. 
**Lok - a slightly better armor save for no psychic powers or relic? Not a good trade.
**Terminator Ordo Malleus Inquisitor - Too pricey, by the time you deck it out it's competing with Karamazov and Rex, who both outclass it.

'''Inquisitorial detachments'''
Having an inquisitorial detachments disrupts SM doctrines unlike the NOFOS however there are no negatives at present for combining with other factions such as Astra Militarum or Admech.
*''' The 3 monkeys:''' If you're imperium but not SM, a detachment of 3 jokaero sets you back an extra 66 points for 9W of characters with either 18 S4 AP1 shots or 3 S8 AP D3 shots - not game breaking, but decently flexible and a small premium for 1CP.
*'''The Von Braun experiments:''' While the relics are limited to Inquisitors the warlord traits can be given to Inquisitorial characters - who doesn't want an ordo malleus Psychic Monkey.
