LEGION OF THE DAMNED MODELS UPGRADE

Now for those two exceptions I mentioned, they are a huge problem in the Grey Knights book because you can field them as troops and not just elites (doubling the amounts of units you can take), and you can make an army entirely out of crusaders (15 points for a power weapon and storm shield which is absurd), or an army entirely out of Jokaero (everything in your entire army minus Coteaz (the guy who makes this possible) now has lascannons, multi-meltas, and heavy flamers so you are effective against literally everything), with lucky rolls you'll be BS4, but since the inquisition cannot take as many units like this you can no longer swarm the table with all of one choice and expect to win (it's still a small issue though).Д¬onversely here, it doesn't really seem like there's any point to getting this codex at all besides a few new weapons and a new HQ, both of which could (or possibly should) have been in the 6th edition Space Marine book to start with (and why not considering the Black Templars are now in there), the only negative would be that we wouldn't get all of the lore in Part 1. It's also quite easy to reach the 2,000+ points mark if you get transport vehicles and special characters, so they don't have to be just a supplement to another army, whereas here the only way you are reaching that mark is if you take 2 Imperial Knights (in which case you've just collected what I'm pretty sure is the most expensive army in the game).

In my opinion the Inquisition codex (because it is not a supplement) actually works, and is pretty neat with 2 major exceptions (I'll get to those later), the reason it works is due to the sheer amount of choice you can have when building your army, Inquisitors start at 25 points but it's pretty easy for their cost to skyrocket into more than a hundred (or sometimes 150+) fully kitted out, same with your units, you can pick models like acolytes (4 points each that can be increased to more than ten times their original cost) priests (they can approximately double) and Jokearo (who start at 35 points but cannot be upgraded), as well as upgrade how you want, give a unit Jokearo and crusaders and you have a long ranged unit with a 3++ save (balanced if only because it can get expensive and they're only BS3). I didn't expect that, that's a shame and I feel it doesn't work as well here as it did in Inquisition. Oh wow, they went the inquisition route I see (1 hq, 3 elites).
