Does this mean I can have Mandrakes and Coven stuff in the same list?

Shield them with some Warlocks, have The Visarch take any Perils wounds for Yvraine (and then regenerate them) and I reckon they'll probably be quite effective!

You know, for some reason I thought the Visarch was Yncarne's bodyguard instead of Yvraine's. Embarassed

No rule says you can't.

However, you can't have Coven/Mandrake and several named characters if you build your army as Ynnari (via Army of the Reborn) as their rule prevents from certain units being taken in. Picking Ynnari HQ does not prevent you from going with Covens tho. (you build by Keyword rule, not Army of the Reborn rule, so the unit restriction does not apply)

Currently there's no reason whatsoever to not build your army with the broadest possible keyword, "Aeldari", at all times. When codices come out they're supposed to add army-unique stratagems, which may well change this up quite a bit.

This, more than anything else, is why I'm not just yet running out to get Harlequin models for my DE. Who knows, our stratagems could be really great. (I mean, it's not super likely, but it's possible)

Unless you go Ynnari.

I just got that the Keyword Ynnari is just added to all the others.

So a Solitare into an Ynnari detatchment still be both Harlequinn and Ynnari.
So let say if I take a second Harlequinn detatchment...and I buy a Shadowseer in this one....I can:
-Move with the Solitare
-Cast over the Solitare the Harlequinn power doublemove, because he still an Harlequinn
-So move again with the Solitare
-Charge
-Kill any unit with him (maybe a wounded one with previous shots)
-Soulburst with him! Which means move back, pile in and fight with another nearly target etc..

That's just an example, but thanks to the keywords, both Harlequinn and Aeldari psykers still affects respectively both Ynnari Aeldari and Ynnari Harlequinns.

Am I missing something?

Yes - the fact that if you take Army of the Reborn, any chosen unit loses its army-specific ability (i.e Rising Crescendo, Power from Pain, Battle Focus etc.) and gain Strength from Death.

Also important - if you do pick Army of the Reborn, you can have ONLY Ynnari models in your army, meaning there is no way to have Harlequins with Rising Crescendo and another ones from a different detachement with SfD. You can take Ynnari HQ into your army without losing RC or any other universal army rules, as you are using building army by Keyword. There is no way to take your units as Ynnari that are not Ynnari HQ (Viscarch, Yvraine, Avatar) without using Army of the Reborn rule to create the army.

Sorry for the disruption but reading this thread I've noticed that people mention Succubus with archite glaive and PGL (I do understand you mean Phantasma Grenade Launcher) I have the spanish edition of the Xenos Index and in it the possibility for the succubus for picking an PGL doesn't exists. Could you please confirm me this subject so as to know if there is a typo on the spanish xenos index? Thanks! [/justify]

It's not a typo. Succubi aren't allowed to take PGLs.
