Let me know what you guys think. This is my first list in the Eldar codex. I am going for an all Harlequins army. All troops will be Harlequins but i will proxying.
Anyways! that is off topic. Let me know what you guys think. How can i improve this list? BUT remember i would like it bassed on Harlequins. So you can change the loasd out on them but not take them away


HQ- Farseer w/ fortune or doom

Elites - 8 Harlies w/ kisses

Troops - 2x five man dire avenger squads

Heavy Assault - Falcon w/ single shuriken cannon

I wouldn't recommed putting in elites at all at 500 pts. to be honest.
The Falcon can be nice for anti-tank, yes, but you really want the essentials and Elites are, even in an army such as Eldar, extras. The points you put into the Harlies are points that can't be put into your Dire Avenger squads and 5 DAs are easily destroyed without a transport.

Not a whole lotta point in requesting pointers on a Harlie themed list at anything under a solid 2k-2.5k. From a fluff point of view do what you think looks/sounds cool because from a want to do going point of view they will won't preform for you. At this time harlies are horribly overpriced for what they can do.

At 2k-2.5 k you can run a harlie/pathfinder mix, but nowadays you really won't see good mileage out of that with GK, BA, SW, and DE running around.

If you like the harlequin models, I would suggest building the all-Harlequin list from the Dark Eldar codex, instead. You can model Wyches to be Mimes, and you still get all the options for modeling creativity but it fits with the Harlequin theme better. Troops choices consisting of 5 'Mimes' and a venom would look great on the battlefield, and wouldn't handicap you in playstyle at all. Harlequins are supposed to perform a dance of death around the enemy, I just don't see dire avengers fitting that role.
