So I have now used this unit in 2 BatReps now and it has been very very durable! In one game they took the entire shooting and combat of a 10man grey knight terminator blob which had character support. But in both games they almost did no damage. So they are a basically a plug and play mega speed bump for any Imperium list. It might not work for every army, but I think for some factions it can be a very potent tool at their disposal :)
I think the best part of running an inquisitor and henchman is that they're so incredibly proxy-able that you can go hogwild with the kitbashing and make a really unique and characterful addition to your army... AND you can run it with ANY Imperium force you have!
I've been running eisenhorn in a scions list and he's amazing if dominate will goes off. Just wish Ciaphus Cain had a model and rules as his books are just as good as eisenhorn's
My Guard force is RT themed, and even then I have a hard time justifying the Rogue Trader killteam, as cool as it is. Its really expensive for what you get. I like the redeploy, but I could get that and CP by arranging the Starstriders in a cool diorama on an 80mm base and using it as proxy for Lord Horseyman. Also my ally slots are full of "Arbites" so I can field my shotgun boys after Engineers got legended.
The inquisitorial henchmen truly are the soupstone of units. The basic 40-point unit is dirt cheap and has its uses, but then you can keep adding stuff to it as you need or until you reach the full 16-man powerhouse. Even if most are specialists, pretty much all the inquisitors that can join them improve the unit significantly
I was convinced before. All of my lists have an Inquisitorial theme. Ordo Hereticus with my Sisters, Ordo Malleus with my future Grey Knights, Ordo Xenos with my Custodes (and maybe soon my Guardsmen?).
Eisenhorn +10 acolytes + Jokaero + Daemonhost = 65+120 less than a krieg+marshal 130+60 You get 4 more wounds, a lot more damage, 5+ inv -1 to wound In Exchange of 5+ FNP + D3 wounds x turn I haven't run the math yet, but It might be a good trade
Considering that you can stick a regimental enginseer on to a kreig block to give it a bunch of extra wounds and heavy weapons all with the FNP how does that change the math?
225pts, cheap ? If you want cheap, the Voidmens at 50pts, OC 2 is better than a 40pts henchmen without inquisitor. To be effective, an Henchmen unit needs an Inquisitor and at least a mystic. Not so cheep anymore.
I seriously debated picking those up! It's a shame that they were completely sold out five hours before their official release, they look like really fun sculpts! . . . That sounded better in my head than it looks here.
I will likely end up using a pair of henchmen blobs as frontliners in my Scion list with Eisenhorn and Coteaz leading them. They looked pretty good to me as well.
I'd been meaning to do one of these just for the hell of it after being one of the 6 people in the UK who actually got a copy of Ashes of Faith. Gonna use Delaque bodies to get the extra henchmen out of the kit and got an idea to use parts from a penitent engine and kataphron battle servitor to make a Daemonhost.
Looked into this one myself. Partly because I love the kit. Throw in Inquistor Greyfax for leadership *4+!* Best in the galaxy. Plus a few anti-psyker attacks.
I just realized that they got rid of Inquisitor Kyria Draxis's paralysis grenades. Imagine getting 50 melee attacks and forcing your opponent to fight last.
It’s less crucial to Guard than other imperial armies due to how common Lord Solar is. But Inquisitor Coteaz backed up by a mid size squad of henchmen (4 acolytes and 1 each of the rest, for a total of 155 points including Coteaz) is a surprisingly durable unit for screening your backfield, and more importantly, it’s potentially a great CP farm. Lots of imperial armies don’t have easy access to CP generation, so this is definitely a hidden gem for them.
Should try out Imperial Navy Breachers + Rogue Trader entourage. 4+++ and a few models with 4++ makes them surprisingly tanky. Infiltrators and a redeploy as well.
Also if an inquisitor is leading a unit of henchmen they also get 5+ feel no pain to mortal wounds... damn this is getting better eveytime I look at it.
Is it legal to run in a turnoments? GW doesn't sell the demon host anymore and you need to buy an additional kill teame box just to use it in a kill teame game. Would love to run it but am not sure how without proxy.
This is the kill team box that turned me against Games Workshop. They thought it would be cute to pimp this shit out, then 5 minutes later... SOLD OUT. Who the hell does that??? GW.
Mordian must be a psyker…I was just talking about this unit with a buddy who thought they were garbage and I disagreed because they actually seem quite good!

It's weird that his bolt pistol doesn't have the pistol keyword!
@@1987Hades That is so that he can shoot it and use his psychic power Mind Assault.

It would be a great way to run all the no longer in game imperial models.
@@TheVeeBeaT necromunda and cities of sigmar are AMAZING for the spare bits, get the twin knives man and make him a plague doctor.
I think Mordian might need to run a inquisition army
With a few voidsmen thrown in
Now i want To See this put To the test at a tournament in a Krieg list 😄.
I've been running eisenhorn in a scions list and he's amazing if dominate will goes off.
Just wish Ciaphus Cain had a model and rules as his books are just as good as eisenhorn's
They’re attaching Jokaero to Eisonhorn! To Eisonhorn! To Eisonhorn!
Nice reference
What did you say?
I think the Rogue Trader Entourage is also overlooked! You get infiltrate for the unit and can redeploy d3 battleline units!

@@joshpearson1870Personally I prefer the imperial navy breachers as shotgun boys cause they come with a demolition charge, very fluffy for engineers
I ran it a few times. It's kinda fun.... but ultimately a 200 pt unit that past turn one has a handful of power weapons and dies easily to boltguns
Dziękujemy.
This makes me want to run an inquisition army. Damn it Mordian! My wallet already hurts!
I love these guys. Pretty much any character + retinue is guaranteed to be one of my favorite models, and this is just so buildable and scalable.
I’m glad happy to see the killteam tristar in action I’m glad to see them in action

You can only choose either plasma cannon or multimelta, as you can only swich one of your heavy bolters.
Its so funny, I accidentally bumped into this unit when I was looking for an RP game after playing Darktide and Inquisitor Martyr. Great video!
Highly recommend Eisenhorn to lead the unit for the buffs, and extra buff to the Daemonhost…!
Draxus
Could in theory do custodies/chaos and do the cognate
Finally my custom Inquisitor Jaegar can see some action!
o7. I think it raises an interesting point and I will have to try it out. Looking forward to getting it done up now

Another unit joins the cycle of "Cheap Chaff Imperium allies", First was the Arbites and now these.
All Human beings are cheap chaff! 💀

@11:40 Great books by the way.
I saw the battle report you used them in, and have been building them since. Might try one with coteaz and one with eisenhorn

Doing a khorne themed guard and this is a unit ive been trying to convert and kitbash in for a minute, glad im not the only one seein potential here

I believe this may become the central theme for my eclectic guard army..

I have 2 squads of these to run with Coteaz & grayfax, building them at the moment, so good
o7 Cosmic, I enjoyed this one!

I’ve been trying to cram my henchman and Eisenhorn into a list for years! The time is now!
BATTLE REPORT BATTLE REPORT BATTLE REPORT!
Greyfax! She's fantastic and an absolute BANE of any psyker/character units. Her leadership is outrageous too at 4+
Better leading scions
@@javilo2797 I play her in a 20 man Krieg blob with medics etc and a Krieg Marshall. Works well sometimes!
Now if only we had a way to buy servitors and/or deamon hosts...
Only a matter of time until MG dropped this. They were a big surprise in that batrep with Simon.
I'm all for Kyria Draxus for this... But that's just cuz she's hot and her model is one of the coolest in 40k.
Also going to put Inquisitor Coteaz into a catachan squad with iron hand Straken, he has a great hammer which’ll be buffed in that squad
Should try out Imperial Navy Breachers + Rogue Trader entourage. 4+++ and a few models with 4++ makes them surprisingly tanky. Infiltrators and a redeploy as well.
Also if an inquisitor is leading a unit of henchmen they also get 5+ feel no pain to mortal wounds... damn this is getting better eveytime I look at it.
Also the mystics prevents deep strike rapid fire and charges too giving you an extra layer of protection
Im devating on getting this kit to build a "modernized" regimental preacher.
07 But Wait, there is more! Ha Ha!
You can put them in any transport no ? Like the crassus ?
I guess for sisters is this warranted as you lose out on points that can generate/ use miracle dice?
Convinced!
Shhh! Don't let the secret out!
Was going to try them out till i saw the fnp of the inquisitor is immortal wounds only and they only get 4+ bs/ws kinda killed it for me...
It is annoying that one Gun-Servitor is locked to a Heavy bolter…😢
REAL JUICY UNIT!!!
Is it legal to run in a turnoments? GW doesn't sell the demon host anymore and you need to buy an additional kill teame box just to use it in a kill teame game. Would love to run it but am not sure how without proxy.
This is the kill team box that turned me against Games Workshop.

Who the hell does that??? GW.
I'm still salty over the initial release on these models.
What models are these?
This unit is the GREATEST hidden gem in 40k!
Mordian must be a psyker…I was just talking about this unit with a buddy who thought they were garbage and I disagreed because they actually seem quite good!
Huh neat
I am tempeted for gaurd but other imeprium fsctions ehhhh msybe
Completely unrelated, but does Mordian have a discord server?
Please watch here 20:34 for more details on how you can get access to it :)
Can't have 2 special heavy weapons.
If you have 2 servitors one must always be a heavy bolter
Draxus is better in the unit. You can’t target them outside of 18. Been running this combo for about a month or so.
o7 CD

God dammit 40k players stay away from my kill team boxes GW doesn’t even make enough for us 😂
A cheap unit is alright, they add character. they don't do a lot really.

By sisters standards this isn't very expensive.
