Independent character creation unit

So i always wanted to see what kinda unit i could make with 2-3 different independent characters and maybe some fodder. combining the 3 factions now there is a ton of possibilities. problem is every time i try to make one it end up costing about 500 points for one unit. anyone have any ideas that i may have missed?

no, because independent chars are expensive
500/3 = 166, with a little bit of equipment thats a normal number for usefull IC

Take "cast of players" from harlequin book, gives you a troupe (which includes a troupe master), a death jester and a shadowseer all in one unit. Throw in another 2 death jesters and you have 5 ICs (including the troupe master) for well under 500 points. Maybe throw in an archon with armour of misery and a WWP and throw a mask of secrets on the shadowseer and you have a deep striking unit that when you shoot at a unit within 12" from a death jester causes a LD test at -6 which you can then force units off the board/into compromising positions should they fail.

Just my two pence anyways.

I've always thought that 3 Grotesques from a Grotesquerie, a Shadowseer with Mask of Secrets and a Haemi with Sump and Scissorhands in a Raider was a pretty neat setup.

Turbo-boost up and Psychic Shriek at -3Ld. Next turn leap out and hit them with 3 Grots, a Fleshbane Mist Stave and (Edward) Scissorhands.

Works with a Farseer too, but he's slightly less killy in CC than a Shadowseer.

Plenty of alternatives for the Haemi too. Any sufficiently killy IC would work nicely perhaps an Axe Autarch or Glaive Succubus for some AP2.
