I too miss the old damon hunter rules, but a Coteaz army does allow for a lot of flexability. Other than the henchmen having BS 3 intsead of the Storm Troopers 4 you can pretty much make an old school DH list out of a Coteaz army. Just go heavy henchmen, and light on GK and there you go. I don't like the idea of depending on a special character, but it is better than shelving an entire army. Also if you are playing among friends try making a house rule that any inquisitor allows henchmen as troops. As for fluff, take a note from me and just ignore it all together, they will just change it again when it suits them.

Mind lock is a little harsh though, servitors are kinds useless unless you have an inquisitor with them. It would be nice for balace though if there was a limit of 3-4 for all types except warriors per squad.
