If I'm counting right this is seven Troops choices, but other than that this looks like an interesting way of playing a Dark Eldar army. Have fun experimenting with it.

Thanks and Yes that's 7 troops. Allied Detachment allows you to take a 7th troop choice.

Looks pretty good, just a few changes.

Instead of dire avengers, I would get a squad of 5 rangers or 3 guardian jetbikes. Both of which can take more of a beating and do more damage, for a comparable price.

The clowns all need harlequins kisses, except the death jester as he can't take one. Drop the troupe master, as you are essentially paying 20 points for +1 attack and LD. Used to be important when all power weapons ignored armor, but now points are better spent elsewhere.

Oh right I forgot to write the Kisses in but it's in there point wise. As for the troupe master.. I put him in there to accept challenges mostly. Which is what the death jester is for also.
I tried fitting in rangers but the points never let me. If this troupe master thing doesn't work I'd probably swap the Dire Avengers for rangers as they don't really do anything but lay on objectives.

No transport for your farseer or DA's? Why take them if you're going to bog them down with immobility?

Wouldn't be necessary or even possible as the Archon will be in the harlequin+farseer group.
The harlequin ball is mean't for disruption, counter assaulting, and psychic defense.
The DAs are just there to hold objectives.

Isn't there a rule that doesn't allow allies to use each others transports though?

The Harlies are from the Eldar detachment, aren't they?
Otherwise, they can't be fortuned.

Yes they're from the eldar atachment

Dire Avengers x5 - 60

This unit is pointless. The only viable tactics with them is to keep them in reserve and then hold an objective in the back field.

The list is illegal, as you are taking two primary detachments (DE) and as such are required to take two HQ choices from Codex: Dark Eldar...you have a total of 8 troop choices in your list, not 7 - unless one of the Warriors or Wyches is a mistake

Didn't catch that. Yeah one group of warriors was a mistake. Points went to 2124. Fix'd
