| Found his list on the app,
Battalion HQ: Archon with blast pistol and agoniser Venom with x2 cannons
Archon with blast pistol and agoniser Venom with x2 Cannons
Troops: Kabalite Warriors x5 Venom with x2 Cannons
Kabalite Warriors x5 Venom with x2 Cannons
Kabalite Warriors x5 Venom with x2 Cannons
Fast Attack: Scourges x5, Dark Lances x4, Blast Pistol and Power Lance
Heavy Support Ravager with Dark Lances x3
Ravager with Dark Lances x3
Ravager with Dark Lances x3
Air Wing Flyers: Razorwing Jetfighter with Dark Lances x2
Razorwing Jetfighter with Dark Lances x2
Razorwing Jetfighter with Dark Lances x2
Seems like a very straightforward scoot-and-shoot list. The tournament was run at 1850 points and he had some points to spend, which would explain the scourges with a power lance.
Sad to see Jeremy's harlequin list get hard countered on the top table. Makes me cautious of seeing similar flyer-spam lists in the future. | |

| I got really confused for a second but then I realize that Jeremy's last battle was against the #1 player in a full on sweep. Yeah that stinks. Good to see that ye old DE lists still holds up, albeit with a side dish of flyers. What's the relevance of the team names under the players? Was this a full 7v7 thing and that's just the listing of how each individual player did? Also of note: CTRL + F, search for factions, gives you a decent look at the spread of how the factions did overall | |

| Here you go, it's more of an Ynnari list, but hey ho! I also think the patrol detachment is written incorrectly and is meant to include one of the troupes.
Yvraine = 132 • Gaze of Ynnead • Word of the Phoenix
Troupe Master = 77 • Harlequin's Caress • Fusion Pistol
Shadowseer = 134 • Shuriken Pistol • Hallucinogen Grenade Launcher • Mist Stave • Mirror Minds
Harlequin Troupe x 5 = 138 • 5 Harlequin's Caress • 2 Fusion Pistol
Harlequin Troupe x 5 = 138 • 5 Harlequin's Caress • 2 Fusion Pistol
Harlequin Troupe x 5 = 138 • 5 Harlequin's Caress • 2 Fusion Pistol
Harlequin Troupe x 5 = 138 • 5 Harlequin's Caress • 2 Fusion Pistol
Hemlock Wraithfighter = 211 • 2 Heavy D-Scyth
Hemlock Wraithfighter = 211 • 2 Heavy D-Scyth
Dedi Trans Starweaver = 99 • 2 Shuriken Cannons
Dedi Trans Starweaver = 99 • 2 Shuriken Cannons
Dedi Trans Starweaver = 99 • 2 Shuriken Cannons
Patrol Detachment
Shadowseer = 134 • Shuriken Pistol • Hallucinogen Grenade Launcher • Mist Stave • Fog of Dreams
Dedi Trans Starweaver = 99 • 2 Shuriken Cannons | |

| Hmm thanks, I play 2 Shadowseers and 1 Troupe Master too, i also take 1-2 Fusion Pistols per unit as well, the Math works out better per points if you splash in some Embraces if you have a Troupe master near so i do 2 Embraces per unit (this also saves me a total of 30pts for same wounds as 5 Caress).
I also take 4 Starweavers and a Hemlock (they are too good not too). I understand the appeal for Ynnari but i atm still find Rising Crescendo for E:HQ better than Ynnari, especially in a TAC list. Chasing down Skimmers, charging units like Dark Reapers/ML devastators in cover in the back, or Charging a vehicle so it cant attack > fall back and charge something else if need too.
Also with Ynnari i would think you would want 1 full unit with Fusion guns, dbl shooting pistol Lances is darn good.
I guess i need to try it out, ive play E:HQ many times in 8th already and IDK if i can live without the Rising Crescendo.

| Yeah, I'm working on on Harlequins army now but I haven't had a chance to play them - I currently favor the Troupe Masters above the Shadowseers, but maybe that'll change later on.
That being said, I can see SfD working really well for the Quins; the units are so small and their output so high that I reckon a single Soulburst will end up causing a domino effect. Stuff will die. Fast. Reckon the Solitaire would be as good without Rising Crescendo? | |

| The Solitaire does work without it, Mostly b.c the Blitz (add 2d6 movement) and his normal 12" movement, i've used him with my DE a few times, just be careful turn 1, with RC he can get insane charges with a Shadowseer (2, 12+Advance movements is alot).
The Shadowseers are extremely important to keep you stuff alive, -1 to wound is huge on t3 guys | |

| Ah fair! I was looking at Jeremy's list and marveling that one of his Shadowseers takes Mirror of Minds. I mean, I guess if it works it could do some decent mortal wounds, but it could just whiff. Is it really worth skipping an additional move? Then again, I suppose if literally all of his infantry are in Starweavers, then the extra move isn't entirely necessary | |

| Well sense you can only use a power once and the Shadowsweers can take 2, you can have each Shadowseer take the important one (-1 to hit against you) and each other take the other ones.
Mirror of Minds almost doesnt do anything honestly, Smite does more most of the time (i've tried it a few games, didnt do much at all) | |

| As expected honestly.
Of course, I wager a combat that features a Troupe within range of the Master's bubble and affected by Yvraine's Ancestors' Grace is gonna be pretty darn good. | |

| Hmm i need to try it out now, sense i just Re-read the SfD rules you can make a charge even if you "advance" so if you play it correctly you can advance 2-3 units kill something and charge still if you where out of range.
I also a unit of Fusion pistols sounds even better now, you can charge a vehicle, get a SfD actions from the Powers or just from another unit near by dying then you can "shoot" 5 Fusion guns at the tank. Or move and Shoot a Rhino to kill it then shoot the guys inside and charge something else.
I might have to play Ynnari for a few weeks now, i have a great idea for a conversion of a Yvraine for my Harlequins. | |

| Ooooh, definitely PM me a pic or something once you're finished - I'd love to see it
Just finished building my Yvraine this morning, been considering painting her the same scheme as my Harlies but I'm not sure yet. | |
