    Default Acolyte (greyknight) queston

    in the grey knight codex I can give 3 Acolyte a plasma pistol AND storm shield so I made 3 (very nice) custom models
    now with the inquisitor supplement codex it is saying " Up to three Acolytes may take an item from the Inquisitorial Armoury list." and both storm shield and plasma pistol are on this list so I now can only have one or the other.
    can I keep using the grey knight rules? or now this book is out do I have to start cutting up these models?

    Your codex is Grey Knight so unless they faq it you can use the rules as it states in your codex. Codex Inquisition is a separate codex.

    Never noticed that one....yeah if you're playing the Inquisitorial 'dex then they're not valid, but can be allied in from GK or form part of a GK primary and be perfectly legal still.....though why you're putting 20pts (35pts with plas pistol) on a 4pt model is a little surprising.....

    If you want some 3++ take crusaders way more effective then take 2 plas pistols if you're inclined for assaulty gunslinger action, though a plasma gun would make much more sense and be way more practical in almost all situations....

    Plasma pistols are just bad in general. Except for the 10pt special weapons, bolter, and storm bolter, none of the upgrades are worth it on Acolytes.

    I wanted Acolyte's so I could make scratch built models the way I liked them.
    I thought the plasma pistol storm shield combo was good as if the plasma pistol go's boom on me I have the storm shield to save me!
    also I can jump theses 3 lads off a razor back with a inquisitor and maybe a assassin and basically take out a land raider in 1 turn

    Yeah, but they're massively overpriced.
