Is a "traitor" inquisitor with "traitor" guard and chaos allies to cheesey?

[dreadtanker]

Just wanted some feedback. I have a full renegade guardsmen army that is IDF heavy with three squads of mortars, full ordnance battery, MOO, and every traitor that can carry a grenade launcher with current allies of iron warriors from CSM. I feel the new inquisitor with servo skulls would really benefit my gun line but I don't wanna be "that guy". There are plenty of the books about traitor inquisitors and I was thinking of doing a heriticus one maune with a retinue of death cult ladies. Thoughts?

[Mr Mystery]

Nope. Not in the least.

You may not be able to play it in any kind of official capacity, but the background is there, with rogue Inquisitors crossing the line into damnation on a shockingly regular basis.

Go for it dude!

IG/Traitor Guard need all the help they can get sometimes. After facing a guy who came at me with Deathwing Termies allied with Grey Knight Termies, you can imagine that I'm inclined to take whatever advantage I can.

Yeah, nice, go for it...

Of course, if you're not motivated by fluff, and the only reason you're doing it is to benefit your army and make it better, well *sucks through teeth* that's kind of the dictionary definition of 'That Guy' behaviour.

[SaveModifier]

Yeah, fluffy as heck, even a renegade Inquisitor is still doing his best for the Imperium, who knows what his scheme is! Maybe by leading the traitor guard he's pulling them away from the really vital planets that they might otherwise hit!

[Mr.Pickelz]

you could also look to Daemonhosts, they can get some nice stuff if you roll lucky on their chart, and it's fluffy. Even Eisenhorn has one.

[YorkNecromancer]

I'm suddenly taken with the idea of a full Daemonhost army now. Use the GK list, Coteaz to make Henchmen Troops, and away you go.

The conversions would be awesome fun to make. I could finally use those Mantic Ghouls for something...

[dreadtanker]

I'm purely going for fluff. I like winning as much as the next player but I want my armies to be legit. Since I have a heavy nurgle theam about the whole force maybe I won't do death cult but some converted crusaders and arco flang. As for competitive play that's not my thing.

[YorkNecromancer]

Then go, man, go! Go and create a something like Revivicator Radical Inquisitor to support your army! Even the name suggests that Zombie Cultists are appropriate!

Hmmm... You could do something like going all 'Resident Evil' themed, and have the Henchmen as the evolved G-Virus versions of zombies (Death Cultists for Lickers, Crusaders for Mr. X, etc...)
