You're going to get a lot of cries of cheese if you play this list. Harlequins are ridiculously powerful, especially when you near-max them. You're min-maxing your troops to take more elites, which happen to be supremely powerful.

 

[jigplums]

i'd play against it. But i wouldn't describe it as friendly. That said i think your better off making the most powerful list you can when playing against the opp's you generally do because were so shit hot

If this list was done as a harlequin themed list with lovely Harlie bikes and brigh schemes on the prisms etc, then i think most people would happily face it anyway. I reckon it'd do well at the club for a week or two Until people realised the cut of your gib and took stuff to counter it. Like drop pod's, mobile flamers, indirect fire, etc....

I expect friendly and get blind-sided by 3 troupes of fairy space ninja dancing clowns.

Nah, just messing. I would love to play such a list. But not everyone loves a challenge, so you might get some complaints.

But, if they don't want a challenge, I'll bet they also want to play 2000 pts vs 1500.

I say, give it a go and let us know how it works.

I like the look of it. But how do you expect to get those Harlies into combat. I think a ranged army like the Tau or even well-equipped SM would eat you for breakfast.

That said, I really wanna get some Harlies!

 

[Antioch]

With Veil of Tears, you need to make a spot check (2d6x2) to see the Harlequins. All things considered, by the time you can effectively see the Harles, you're already in their 18" threat range.

 

[cccp]

yeah- the harlis are cool. the veil of tears keeps them alive and they have an 5+ invulnerable save which also help. they can also ignore difficult terrain.
they also have furious charge (i think) and rending.

 

[Antioch]

Furious Charge and Hit and Run.

Bottom line is that they've got an incredible amount of stuff packed into their cost.

 

[jigplums]

yeah they are pretty hench. but i can see opp's getting wise to them fairly quick. 3 units is a little overkill i think

i'd happily face this. The prisms would scare me more than the halries tbh.
Why?
Harlies are awesome if your opponent like static gun lines that aint going no where as you can rush past the ave spotting distance no problem.
BUT how may gunlines do you see these days compared to mobile forces?
Just take some lowle marines in a rhino, if they can zoom in 12", disembark 2" and be right in your face with a bucket load of rapid firing bolters. Same with tornados - zoom in 1" away = dead harllies.
This is the same for nearly any army: IG - Chimera tanks, drop guard. CSM - Rhinos. SM - pods. Eldar - skimmers. Orks - trukks etc etc
Non of these units are uncommon in thier respective armies and this is where i keep seeing massed harlies forces failing.
As i said the big threat is the prisims as these can kill of the above units and/or neautralise thier mobility. If the prisms go, the harlies will to.

My advice is taking a single harlie unit as to deliver that final knock out punch to the enemy, and then using the other awesome strenghts in the eldar force to make sure it happens.
