I know from experience that these guys are phenominal, haveing used 6 of them to wipe out both a BT squad of ten marines and a dreadnought (in one game), but I feel that in most games they wont do to well. Bow do all of you use harlequins; that is, do you run squads of 6 in a falcon? DO you use fusion pistols? kisses? do you use a jester? DO you run large squads on foot with a shadowseer?

Any tips would be useful

I take ten, a shadowseer and run them... Not all need kisses (these are call extra wounds every squad needs 1or2)

Melta pistols are purely optional (only take them if you've got the points and nothing else to spend the points on)

These guys ignore difficult terrain so pick the path of most cover and just run for it. People will shoot at them.

IF at all possible take some one else's wave serpent and use it to get into combat faster.

I used to run 3 squads of 6 in falcons back in the day. I did run 10 on foot for a little bit in 5th, but i traded them for a warlock squad in serpent.

Use them as assassins, to pop one or two units that need to die. But they cannot take much of a beating.

I've seen them used well against orks as a counter attack unit, shadowseer/jester and 4-5 kisses (too many imo against orks). The Jester rained a bit on their parade with the lots of pinning tests, and terrorizing trukks (he was rolling pretty well vs those trukks though)
