If you take Coteaz as your HQ in an allied attachment can you then take henchman as troops?

I have seen variations of this asked before but I can find nothing in the BRB, online, FAQ's or anywhere that gives me a simple yes or no answer. If possible could someone tell me were it says yes you can or no you cannot.

Also how does this work for Belial, Draigo, Logan?

You can. Characters that move force organisation charts around also do that in an allied detachment.

You can take henchmen as troops in the allied detachment per Coteaz's rule.

Thanks guys! I'm assuming its the same deal with the other guys as well?

Depends on the codex. The newer codex says it only works in a Primary Detachment.

As Happyjew already mentioned, this statement is incorrect--you must read the relevant rule in the codex in question. For example, Thousand Sons cannot be Troops when the CSM is an allied detachment, as both the Sorcerer's and Ahriman's special rules specifically mentions a "primary detachment." Coteaz's rule refers to an "army," which is made up of all included detachments, primary or allied.
