What are the significant trade offs making the Harlequins an Ynarri detachment?

It's mostly to keep the list pure Ynnari. I don't necessarily think they'll perform better as Ynnari than they would as normal harlequins, but I like being able to utilize strength from death and the Yncarne auras when I normally wouldn't.

If you run Ynarri, you can’t change the exarch powers on the aspect warriors - you can only take the bog standard one (don’t ask me why..._).

Not sure how that works with darkness’ bite on the troupe master. You might need to check an faq to see if you can take that but I would argue that the standard reroll wounds is so strong you shouldn’t swap it.

Could you not just run the yncarne on his own?

I think he will still be able to teleport and get wounds back because those are keyworded to Aeldari rather then <ynnari>

The only downside is he wont get SFD or acess to ynnari strats i think. But hes rerolling wounds from his sword any is WS 2 anyway.

So it’s not complete but I have put together the below. I think fusion pistols are too good to miss and having the star weaver transports is way better than the swooping hawks IMO. Not sure what the 3rd FA should be so I shoved in a viper - maybe with a bright Lance or missile launcher would be good and the massive troupe squad should definitely be coming in via webway. Also I think I missed the death jester so will need to clear some points to add him back in. Anyway just my two cents.
