Similar idea with both lists - the DE units will provide most of the firepower, whilst the Harlequins will provide some supporting fire, melee ability and psychic support. The Yncarne will teleport around as needed, though ideally he'll remain close enough to cast Unbind Souls on an appropriate target for the Troupe(s) or Skyweavers. Some of the stuff is thematic - e.g. the Troupes are meant to have 1 'Exarch' type model (who carries both the Caress and the Fusion Pistol). Plus I just wanted to keep them cheap, as they're not the main focus of the army and are just there to get extra CP.

The first list has more CPs but the second has better firepower.


Any opinions?

Well, I'd consider the 2nd list, since the Harlies/Ynnari detachment is much better than the first.
Assault with Harlies troupes doesn't work in this edition.

Good to know. Thanks.

I like the second list more! why the Ynnari detachment though? Do you recon it will perform well?
