[2000] Drukhari + Clowns + Tantalus

I'm looking to bring some tough AV and awesome models to my clown army. I have a few options I'd love some suggestions on.

Here's where I'm at right now.

Pretty sold on clowns and the Tantalus. Flavor of the month, whatever, I'm just excited to paint some diamonds.

I know there is some debate about harlequin weapons. I just want to add a bit of variety, even if I'm gimping myself a tad.

For variety sake, I've added the group of 3 clown bikes. I like the models and think their shooting is good, but haven't been sold on them in close combat as of yet. Trying to decide if I should drop them to pick up a Farseer Skyrunner to throw out some dooms for the Tantalus or not.

The things I'm wondering about;

1. Should I drop the Skyweaver bikes to make room for a Farseer bike to follow the Tantalus and cast Doom.

2. Are Blasterborn still worth it? I read some of the tactics threads about DL scourge vs. Blasterborn, but if I were to field scourge, doesn't seem worth to have them ride in the Tantalus instead of deep striking.

3. Is my core concept of using Dark Eldar guns to back up my clowns fundamentally sound?

I'm not looking for the most super competitive list. Just something that's fun to play, fun to paint and has a bit of variety without gimping myself *too* much.
