I have played harlequins almost exclusively for a while now and I have really been trying to make them work because I love the background and models so much, but I have been struggling pretty terribly against my groups Marines, Admech, and Tau. I noticed the IA book with the updated Corsair rules came out and I am really curious to give them a shot. I have some reservations though. The reason I don't use Eldar (even as allies to my Harlies) is due to the wide opinion in my area that they are overpowered.

I just had a couple of questions

-Do I need to be concerned about people being unwilling to play against it due to it's power level(are they considered high tier?) or it being a forgeworld army?
-Are they actually even an effective army and what should be be looking to buy to get them started towards a 1500 point list. I imagine a couple of 10 man guardian squads+conversion kits and a model to be my corsair prince.

Thanks in advance guys!

There is really no saying. As far as I know the list got a complete change from last edition, as it got really aged and was practically non functional, being a mix of eldar, dark eldar and quinns, but not doing anything these three didn't do better.

Once the new book gets around, well see. But right now anything I can say about the corsair list will be as good as a guess.
