Vicious Pirates- 2000 point Kabal and Harlequins

So, went with a theme to try and reflect my army's fluff as a group of outcast pirate raiders that met a small cadre of Harlequins. Now, unknowingly, they follow the will of the laughing God!

So the list is a bit fluffy, hence the raider spam, but I have tried to make it a competitive list, hence the Black heart airwing and the triple death jesters(seen a few tourney lists running these). My only fear really is that t1 it might be somewhat easy to get at the harlequins if I place them aggressively like their threat range wants without any real screening unit. I can screen with the flyers if I castle up, but I feel like it could make the quins a bit less effective. Lemme know what you think!

Looks like a solid list! Maybe a little light on anti tank without doom/writ of the muse but I'm sure it'll do fine. I always feel disappointed in my Death Jester but I'm probably not using them properly I guess.

If you're talking about a single deathjester, I'd argue you are using them incorrectly. I generally run 3, possibly with transport, and they've been gamewinners. They're volume selections though.

I might consider swapping some disintegrators for lances if you can find any wiggle room on points. 2 scourge squads can probably take 1 vehicle reliavly before getting swept by a vehicle heavy list. Maybe I just face more mech Tau and Ig though.
