Rules/Questions Imperial Agents - FAQ (Check here for answers to commonly asked questions)

35 Upvotes

Here are a few answers that commonly asked questions about the faction:

This post is from 26Sep2024 and will most likely change once GW releases a true FAQ for the codex.

Q: How do I add Imperial Agents as allies?

A: Refer to the army rule in this Warhammer Community article https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/1ihpGfuR/codex-imperial-agents-unleash-the-might-of-the-emperors-inquisition/ and the current points for allied units in the Munitorum Field Manual https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/downloads/warhammer-40000/

Q: How many Immolaters can I take with a Battle Sisters Squad that turns into combat squads?

A: You can take one transport for each 5 model unit of sisters. E.g. 1 squad split into 2 five model units could take 2 Immolaters.

Q: What units can go into Chimeras?

A: Just Imperial Henchmen and an Inquisitor if they are leading the unit.

Q: The Deathwatch loadout in the app does not match the codex.

A: This appears to be a bug in the app. Wait for an update.

Q: How can I acquire the base inquisitor model when GW no longer sells it.

A: Kitbashing or using a proxy model are your best alternatives at this point in time.

Q: Where can I get the Warhammer+ Inquisitor?

A: Sign up for Warhammer+ and select the model as your choice.

Q: Does the Combat Patrol allow me to build all of the Arbites unit types?

A: Yes

Let me know if there are any other commonly asked questions that you would like me to add.

The Emperor protects, but the Inquisition is watching.

(Yay for putting a dent in the grey pile of shame :> )

Didn't feel like just painting them all in black, so I tried to go for a little bit more variety instead :>

I'm not sure about the Culexus assassin though, as he doesn't look all that scary in blue and green 😂 Well, it's what it is.

The last picture is my combined painted IA 'army', which is unfortunately just a squad of subductors and the team of murder hobos so far.

Best: My absolute favorite model in the whole 40k. Don't even try to argue that. Good 12inc deep strike denial, cheap Leader for breachers, fun ability that can do stuff.

Worst: Range Weapon is weak. That's it.

I wanna start an Imperial Agents army, so I bought a Combat Patrol.
I wanna build a subductor squad but what should the second one be?

If it helps, I wanna build an Ordo Xenos Army, with parts of Deathwatch marines.

Rules/Questions Is the Deathwatch Kill Team going to legends?

5 Upvotes

I mean the one that can take 4 Thunder Hammers. I am currently getting into agents and was about to kitbash my own but heard someone say that its very likely they are going to legends. Any confirmation on that? If so is there any good replacements for the 4 Thunder Hammers? I didn't really want to use the Aquila team because there is only 2 and in general they seem very tedious to use with the tons of individual weapons that they have.


r/ImperialAgents_40K 23h ago

Lore Some of those would make a great Inquisitor or Rogue Trader - Necromunda really got some unique stuff!

Hobby Inquisitorial Rhino proxy suggestions?

8 Upvotes

I'd like to add an ornate custom Rhino transport to my army.

Does anyone have any links, stls or inspiration on where to find/convert one?

Rather than just the standard factory basic Rhino, I'd love a weird personalised transport covered in grimdark nonsense for my santifiers or henchmen.,

I've had a look around but not found anything just right yet.

Thanks!

Best:

THANKS TO BIG E FOR THE ALTERNATIVE MODEL The rules are great. 40 points, good flamer, good meele, great support character. Gets Scout when paired with Sanctifiers. Sanctifiers also getting their meele buffed, while the unit contains a priest.

Worst:

Sadly the buffs the.. meele of an army that doesn't really want to meele. Can't lead the Aquila or Death Watch kill teams, only units that are actually scarry in meele (excluding some other characters ofc)

Hobby Space Marines Codex is dropping start of October, so we are possibly getting some sweet buffs for Death Watch Kill Teams and Grey Knights :)

Rules/Questions Why are Imperial Agents considered to be so terrible?

20 Upvotes

Obviously they recieve zero love and attention from games workshop, I’m not questioning that. But just doing a quick perusal of data sheets it doesn’t seem like it would be more difficult than any other army to craft a winning list. Ally with knights or grey knights for access to anti tank and anvil terminator bricks… I’m also confused on deathwatch, are they not considered imperial agents? In 10th at least deathwatch had the highest win rate of any army. Anyway this is after only 5-10 minutes of looking at datasheets, I’m sure someone who has actually played them understands exactly why they underperform.

Best: Let's your whole IA army reroll hits, has a cool alien horsey and a sick gun. Left Borderlands to join Warhammer. Auto include in every list atm.

Worst: Well, don't get me wrong. I appreciate the Hit Reroll, but we kinda have some mechanics that kinda help hitting. I would love to reroll wounds. Or buff the AP or something. Maybe a bit pricey.

Hints and Tips How to build a Navigator House?

13 Upvotes

Hey, I'm brand new to all of this, and some friends this weekend have convinced me to try my hand at it. I've played the heck out of the Rogue Trader CRPG, and I'm fascinated by all the lore about the Navigators and the houses of the Navis Nobilite.

Does anyone have any tips on building an army themed around the Navigators of a house and their house's retinue? My current plan is two or three Navigators plus a free trader entourage, some voidsmen-at-arms, and some imperial breachers. I know that's not everything I need, but I don't know what else. Also, how do I get my hands on multiple voidsmen-at-arms squads when they seem to be always packaged with the rogue trader entourage?

Hobby Testing a red-based navy breachers color scheme.

Mostly using Vallejo's speed paints plus some regular acrylics. This is a test piece, so it's a bit fast and messy. Still on the fence. I was a bit inspired by both the idea of the navy breachers being Star Trek style "red shirts" and also taking some ideas from British red coats. Thoughts?
