well good inquisitor retinues tend to cost more points than they're worth, but a a canoness/ palatine with celestian bodygaurds are quite cost effective.
For inquisitor retinues you could use them as heavy support by making the retinue heavy bolter and plasma cannon servitors. This option is viable only if you add the plasma cannon as a heavy bolter retributor squad does the job better unless you just want some heavy weapons without taking up a heavy support choice. Another option is you could go with three acolytes with power weapons and carapace armour and three crusader warriors, then give your inquisitor a power weapon and pistol. This will give you 7 power weapons to play around with, but the combat skill and survivablity rating isn't great. Last option is you could go close combat shooting. This involves a transport with three acolytes with combi-plasmaguns, three warriors with plasmaguns and an inquisitor with a combi-plasmagun/plasma pistol. This will work like sisters with divine guidance but hits a little bit harder, probably best used against the tougher units like wraithlords, talos, terminators, monsterous creatures, tyrannid monsterous creatures.
Celstians and canoness option works a bit like regular sister but just with better stats and special rules.
