Gives me:
12 scoring units.
6 S7 AP2 Large Blasts
2 lascannons (off the jokeros) + 3 plasmas each
3 mobile meltagun units
5 chimeras

plus - if the opponent comes too close, those culexus assassins can each throw out up to 32 S5 AP 1 shots, as BS 8. (averaging about 29-30 hits)

If you are banking on the inq henchmen not taking up FoC slots, then you still need two non inq henchmen troops.

That's no fun, I really don't want any marines.

I'm not really sure about the functioning of this extra-rule but as I read it I understand that Henchmen Warbands will be considered as troops.

In other words only 6 units of them (to be specified) will be considered troops; all the others will have to be used as "extra-FOC" units, just like we normally have to do with Henchmen Warbands.

aren't the assassins unique?

@mch21689: They used to be. I see nothing that indicates as such in the new codex. I could be missing it though, so feel free to put a page number in if needed.

@Toban: I dunno. I'm sure it wil lbe FAQed. It seems to me that the purpose of Coteaz's rule is to allow inquisitor henchmen based armies, which would imply that they're able to count as the mandatory units. I could be wrong about that intent though.

If you're then limited to only six, then clearly this won't work, so I guess we need to wait and see how that's handled.

Actually yes they are unique, it says it in their unit descriptions.

Pg. 89 "Unit Composition: 1 (Unique)

Or else I would own three Vindicares

Ahh, so it does, I had missed that. Well, so much for this then. I wish they'd put all the rules for a unit in the same place, I was looking under the unit descriptions.

Page 89 : Unit Composition : 1 ( Unique ).You could swap a culexus out and put in a vindicare. EDIT : ninja'd .

drop the extra assassin, take a basic inquisitor with servo skulls and fun grenades, use it to compliment your CC warband
