Inquisitor wargear question

Inquisitor Buttons - after having been gunned down viciously in his first outing yesterday, has been to school and got himself a Mastery level. This makes his weapon a Force Weapon.

However, I'm also giving him a Daemonblade; does this blade replace the force weapon, does the force weapon replace the Daemonblade or...does the Daemonblade automatically default to a Force Weapon - so it's always AP: 3?

He's packing a Daemonblade, a Hellrifle and Divination now with a bunch of psykers in a warband and a Crusader to soak some hits. oh, and Erik the servo skull...

I'm pretty sure, without the codex at hand, that you have an "illegal" load out.

At first, you have the Daemon blade and the hell rifle.

Then you get a force weapon, that you have to replace a weapon with. You only have 2 hands, so two weapons is the max you can have.

Force weapon + Daemon blade
Force weapon + Hell rifle
Daemon Blade + Hell rifle

Btw. If you didn't already know, You could give you inquisitor a force axe, sword, spear.

Yeah, I want the Daemonblade, I want the hellrifle and I want to make him a psyker - but the psyker bit says that the close combat weapon is replaced with a force weapon. I'm guessing the force weapon replaces the CC weapon and then the Daemonblade replaces the force weapon?

I'm just trying to find out which way it works?

it doesn't matter really, more for sake of rules correctness. You would take the force sword force which replaces the chain sword. Then take the daemon blade to replace the force weapon and then take the hell rifle to replace the bolt pistol.

Check the FAQ, the choice to take a force weapon with a psyker upgrade is optional. So daemonblade + hellrifle is perfectly valid, if a slightly odd mix.

Inquisitor Buttons had a much more successful game today, he managed to take a hull point off a Wave Serpent, killed a warlock on a jetbike, killed some Imperial Guard and survived volley after volley of heavy bolter fire!

I'm happier with my list now, I think I'll stick with it for the fun tourney!

This Inquisitor sounds like a total bad ass! You gave him fluffy wargear aswell!

I'm loving the tales of Inquisitor Buttons and Erik the servo skull - they are both obviously marked for greatness and I for one in this forum would appreciate updates on their tials and tribulations!

They are headed off to a tournament next week, I'm hoping to get him finished in the next few days. Still not 100% convinced on his wargear, but I'm going to stick with it, I think.
