Grey Knights: Reading Comprehension & Coteaz

So I, as every other red blooded 40k nut, have been flicking through whatever copies of the Grey Knights codex we can get out hands on, and I am putting up the first "FAQ DIS".

I am looking at the way that Coteaz interacts with Henchmen.

His special rules include the following:

"
Lord of Formosa
Inquisitorial Henchmen Warbands are Troops choices in an army that include Inquisitor Torquemada Coteaz, and are not limited by the number of Inquisitors in your army.
" - GW's Codex Grey Knights

The interesting consideration comes from the special limitations rule that the Inquisitorial Henchmen Warband has:
"
For each Inquisitor in your army, you may also include a unit of 3-12 henchmen, chosen in any combination from those shown. The unit does not use up a force organisation slot.
"

So, the way that I but not Kirby, reads this is as follows:

With Coteaz, henchmen are troops but do not take up a FOC slot, and can be taken as many as you like.
Great, right? If I am wrong, which I expect I am, I will retract this stupidity... anyway.

Well, looking at the Henchmen, we have a quandry.
"An Inquisitorial Henchmen Warband can select any dedicated transport".
Oh, really?

So, lets see how stupid we can make a list with this obviously to-be-FAQ'd trick.

First, 1750, then 2500.

2 Warriors, w/ 2 Melta, Mystic in a Chimera (Heavy Flamer, Multilaser)

So, umm, yeah
10 TEQ, 24 melta @ BS3, 8 plasma @ BS3, 3 teleport homers (Mystics) and ...
13 Chimeras.
= 1750 points.

Lets see how this scales to 2500.

Now we are talking!
21 scoring units, all either in TEQ or Chimera.

Now, while the world calls me a WAAC cheating douchebag...
I bid you all, adieu, and wish you luck in finding all those meltaguns.
