GK Henchman Spam

Seen this list posted. Seems not only stupid and 'ard boyz, but also super expensive. Hopefully they change the rules for it but since you have to drop >$500 just on troops.....

Cotaez - henchman warbands are Troop choices in an army including Coteaz, and are not limited by the number of Inquisitors in the army.

How is spamming that unit even possible? only 6 troops slots, 3 elite. At MOST there can be 9 units of them if they can count as troops and elites...

Have to agree with Andy here. This spammer took the henchman under Coteaz count as troops with no limit based on number of inquisitors line too literally. They would still be limited by the force org of six troop slots. I also think they can't be both troops and elite, so with Coteaz if they count as troops (i.e. not elites), then the limit on henchman units would be six. Plus, this list would suck in kill point games. Way too many super small weak units protected in Armour 11 vehicles.

Legal or not, what a boring list to play. Shoot vehicles, lay flamer teplates, die in CC. Repeat until the game is over. Zzzzzzzzzz.

sorry. I forgot to post the other half of that rule. it was in a different section...

"For each Inquisitor in your army, you may also include a unit of 3-12 henchmen, chosen in any combination... This unit does not use up a force organisation slot"

[Ranger Dude]

Still not enough slots....

Coteaz s the only inquisitor, so he accounts for 1 unit. 6 units for troops. 3 for elites (if they can count as both.) That's 10 slots, and the list has 11 units of henchmen. So, no legal in so many ways that it's not even worth discussing anymore.
