Dais of Destruction question

So this is probably much more easily explained than I can figure out but for some reason it seems to me like Vect's Dais of Destruction can carry 9 grotesques along with himself. With the reading of the codex it states that Vect's Dais must start with 9 models along with Vect himself in the raider so basically would that mean 9 Grotesques can fit in it or can you still only take 4 and have to add another Independent Character in there?

Unfortunately it also says it's a raider which is where the transport space comes from and grotesques take up 2 spaces...

So vect plus another IC plus 4 Grots max

Massaen beat me to it.

The dais must begin play carrying 9 models in addition to vect. The dais counts as a raider with av13 and 3 dark lances, but is a raider in all other respects as per the codex p55. That means it can only carry 10 models, and grots are bulky taking up two spaces each in a transport. So no grot bodygaurd for vect!

Now on a Tantalus......

Just realized I am wrong re the 4 grots plus vect and IC. It says 9 models not simply full... So yeah, no Grots in Dias full stop!
