The Inquisitor should always, always roll on divination though, if he gets misfortune then thats great but if he rolls anything else just swap it out for prescience.
There also no need for him to have psybolt ammo as it doesnt work on his psycannon.
If you drop the servo skulls I think you can actually afford to get a second Malleus Inquisitor and upgrade him to a Psyker so that both Termie units then have prescience. Sure he wont be in termie armour but he could be your Inquisitors apprentice or something.
Or you could drop a Termie out of each squad and the servoskulls and take another Inquistor exactly the same as the first, I think it will make your army really effective. Both Termie squad then have 9 wounds with 2+ saves, both will be re rolling misses, will have 2 psycannons and 3 hammers.
Im assuming you are planning on buying 3 boxes of GK termies? if so you will be 1 psycannon short so what I would do is use psilensers as your Inquisitor Psycannons, it will help make them stand out and you can pass it off as the inquisitors having heavily modified psycannons.
With this set up each unit is getting;
10S5+
8S7 a turn.
Thanks to prescience on both units thats 9 S5 hits and 7 S7 hits. That is really impressive at this points level as your army will get 18 S5, 14 S7 and 4 S8 hits a turn. Plus thanks to the 6 wounds on your inquisitors you actually have 18 2+ save wounds.

Thanks Veq. I see what you mean here. Ideally, the second HQ would be a Hereticus inquisitor, since I want to have Sisters of Battle as an allied detachment, but it's ok. The second inquisitor would be stuck with carapace armour, but that's ok as I can stick him in the back of a terminator squad, and have Prescience. And I will have just the three boxes of terminators, so I'm having to make do with what I'd have access to. But you might be right about the servo skulls, actually.
Now let's see how this is looking:
Ordo Malleus Inquisitor, Terminator Armour, Psycannon, Prescience 110
Ordo Malleus Inquisitor, Prescience 55
7 Terminators, Psycannon, 2 Daemon Hammers, Psybolt Ammo, Brotherhood Banner 350
7 Terminators, Psycannon, 2 Daemon Hammers, Psybolt Ammo, Brotherhood Banner 350
Dreadnought, dual TL Autocannons, Psybolt Ammo 135
Total: 1000 Points
Or alternately:
Ordo Malleus Inquisitor, Terminator Armour, Psycannon, Prescience, Empyrean Brain Mines 120
Ordo Malleus Inquisitor, Terminator Armour, Psycannon, Prescience, Empyrean Brain Mines 120
6 Terminators, Psycannon, 2 Daemon Hammers, Psybolt Ammo, Brotherhood Banner 310
6 Terminators, Psycannon, 2 Daemon Hammers, Psybolt Ammo, Brotherhood Banner 310
Dreadnought, dual TL Autocannons, Psybolt Ammo 135
Total: 995 Points
With the second list, I'd still have 25 points to spare.
Arguleon-veq:
I think the second list will work much better, with the spare points id go for brain mines in your inquisitors although I cant quite remember how much they cost.
GreaterGoodNewZealand:
Well for the 2 inquisitors the brain mines would be 20 points all up. Honestly, I'd never noticed them before, but reading about them, they seem like something that isn't really too bad. I've edited my last post to reflect the addition of the mines.
Arguleon-veq:
They are really nice, its a huge boost if something really big and nasty gets in on your termies that would probably kill them, you can just challenge with the inquisitor and it has a 50/50 chance of not even getting to fight each round because of the brain mines.
GreaterGoodNewZealand:
Those definitely sound awesome! So once I get my force up and running, I will definitely give them a go now that I know what they do.
