After 10 years of absence, I'm returning to the hobby and I have NO idea what's going on in the game...
I have always loved harlequins, but they used to be a joke on the battlefield (pun intended), but someone told me they were playable/decent now.
I made this list by looking at a bunch of tournament lists and then making sure I added some stuff (like void weavers), so that I would have models of all types in the list to keep some diversity.
Any help/tips/feedback/tactics would be much appreciated!
(and I do mean ANY, because I literally have zero clue ho to play the game in 9th and how I am supposed to use this army)

Firstly, welcome back. Secondly, yes. They are surprisingly more viable now with more of their deeps strike shenanigans being released after psychic awakening. With all of the high ap, standard move speed, ignoring terrain and around 5 attacks a piece in most cases. You've got a pretty nasty army on your hands. It's just that they're still as squishy as other elder when someone manages to get a grip on them. Serpent's blood will allow you to abuse your assault 1 pistol profile, remembering that this is even on "embarked" models. So all of your fusion pistols are now basically melta-guns with the standard range. Just read up on how to properly screen away other units, because this rule will be very little help in that regard. If you are going to have your Shadowseer tanking melee, which they can do surprisingly well this time around. I'd suggest taking the "Suit of hidden knives" relic. As per the rules, this effect comes into play before you have to make your own saves and you can find a nice source of limiting their rolls with your own debuffs. So unless it's a character with a reliable re-roll aura that's baby sitting them, or the character in general. You will be carving off a few mortal wounds each combat phase. Actually, now that I think about it. I'm starting to wonder if their re-roll aura actually keeps the relics effect from going off. Also, as of the last FAQ update for Haywire cannons. They do cause mortal wounds on a 4+, even if that attack failed to actually do a wound. So it's good for taking wounds off of infuln-save spamming vehicles. ---- Sadly, they don't have any named characters as of yet. But I think you can slide in some Ynnari characters for that and still be viable for play. Though that's one ruling that I'd ask you get a 2nd opinion on.
