Harlequins Reborn Warhost

I've been trying to create a harlequins list which is full of trickery but Is also competitive.
Using the new Ynnari rules, I have come up with this list. How do people honk that it will fare?

Reborn Warhost
Fraser, bike, stone , spear 135
3 wind riders, scatter lasers, warlock 131

10 troupe, 8 caress, hw 239
Shadowseer, lvl2, mask 100

10 troupe, 8 caress, hw 239
Shadowseer, lvl2 85

Solitaire, locket, hw, 165

4 Skyweavers, zephyrglaives, hw cannon 260

Yncarne 275

Craft world Allied detachment
Fraser, bike, spear 120
3windriders 51
3windriders 51

Total: 1846

Take VoT on both shadowseer then look for the word of ?? From the revenant disciple.
Reborn Warhost Fraser and Yncarne to look for the same power on the rrvenant discipline.
Cesftworld farser to look for invisibility
Craftworld windriders give me some obj sec

Thoughts?

I honestly don't rate harlequins at all when you don't have rising crescendo. Without it they are just infantry T3 5+ saves that will almost never make combat. Personally, I am hoping to try out a full revenge inside the ynarri detachment

Yeah, I had thought the same. The idea was to get as many Word of the Phoenix powers as I could to get the units into combat but getting into combat would be difficult.



Here's a different list which I posted on a different site:

Reborn Warhost (1849)
Farseer, skyrunner 115

Shadowseer, lvl 2 85
Shadowseer, lvl 2 85

Inrim's spectre
Death Jester

Solitare, Corag-Hai's Locket, HW grenades 165

2 Skyweavers, zephyglaives, hw cannon 130
2 Skyweavers, zephyglaives, hw cannon 130

Voidweaver


I just feel that the Revenge formation is so restrictive as it forces you to waste so much on death jesters and a voidweaver.

I dont "honk" that its all that great

Those are awfully expensive T3 guys on foot. Any opponent worth the name will just kite them. Cheapen them up, and throw them in a transport. Since you are not making use of the FA slots (which I think is a crime) you can always get a DE raider to throw those Troupes in.

And yes, the Raider and the Troupes are from the same formation, so they can start Turn 1 in there.

Without the revenge formation, the Harlequins lose the ability to run and charge. Also, I wouldn't want to put a troupe in a raider as its toughness 3 and open-topped so more likely to get them all killed than into combat.

My New Harlequins Reborn Warhost is 3 8man units (1 is a shadowseer) in Raiders with NF's, turn 1 Rush to opponent, let them kill raider, (Read the rules MANY times to make sure, the transport die "After" you disembark) sense they killed a "unit" within 7" my harlequins gets to charge.

What makes this great other than you get to charge on their turn, but you have Hit and Run, so if you dont kill the unit (It happens) you can at least get a full move/psychic/charge (dont shoot)

So you dont need "run and Charge" once you have multi units in the middle of there army dont really need to run, especially sense you can move 2x if the scatter bikes do something good (But I'd rather just charge again if I can)

I just make sure no flamers are around, I also have 2 Decatchements, other is Archon with WWP Wraithguard D-scythes, Scatter Bikes, a unit of Fire dragons in Starweaver and I have Melee WK
