Basically I like WL and Harlequins and i wanted to build an army with them. I want this list to be able to take on SM, now I have not played over 1k points so I am not sure if they will wipe the floor with me at these point levels. The reason for the DA so far every time i have used them they more then make there points back. As for how ill play this army I was think keep the 2 WS out line of sight of the enemies until turn 3/4 or so maybe if a can move them always hiding them wanna try and save these for after popping transports/heavy's. Depending on the set up of the army but more then likely ill try and sit the WL in cover to pop his heavy's/transports. Now eldrad i was thinking of running withthe WL(if not enough cover and ill slow move around board) or throw him into a WS with DA. The harlies I move together to try and take out the big threat elites/troops takeing advatage of move threw cover and viel. One question here the Plasma grenades are they the ones that if assulted threw cover ill still attack first?

No one?

I guess it could work pretty well,its quite competitive actually

Its good very straight and easy to play and can counter a lot of stuff little light on troops only real weekness

im not a big fan of the jesters, but thats good if they work for you

my biggest issue with this list is only 2 tanks. even moving flat out for the cover save or keeping them hidden, they will be taking alot of shots especially at this point lvl. and once they are gone youll have to be careful about how you blade storm as you wont be able to load up and re-position them or even have them shot to death. if that happens then i suggest you forgo the blade storm and shoot normally. also with dp marines your gonna have your tanks shot and most likely destroyed on first turn due to melta so i would suggest that if you know your facing dp then put them in reserve since you seem to just use them for last minute objective snagging.

personaly i like the wraith lords but only having the option of targeting upto 3 tanks can hurt you. its easy to come across a list that has good weaponry on good tanks, and gun line tau come to mind. i play them regularly but at 1500 and they easily have a mass of tanks, and granted only 3 of them hurt really bad, but the rest can still mess you up as you only have 5 actual targets to shoot at over 24" range without rolling the 2d6x2.

everyone has the ability to do crazy things that others might not think is a good idea so please dont take my post seriously. all i can say is if the list feels right to you then go for it and play test it alot to get the hang of it.

and thats my thoughts on this army

Would 3 Fire prism be more competitive with holo-fields and stones at 160 each?

You haven't got enough troops; only two. You haven't got enough transports either.

Not enough serious anti tank. I know brightlances drop armour to 12 but you still need 4+ to even glance. Those wraithlords are just big targets for ap2 fire and ti will go down pretty rapidly.

I would do a all mech or all foot force; not a mix.

This list is different from the standard forces.
Two scoring units in Serpents can eventually work.
The Dire Avengers could eventually hop out, blade storm, and then reembark in the next turn.
It eventually works with clever deployment.

The Wraithlords will step forward accompanied by the Harlies.
You need to be careful with the Harlies such that they are not
intercepted by faster units, like Rhino squads with flamers.
