I e-mailed the main host of the tournament regarding skitarii and harlequins recently. I'll let you know if I get a reply

Cheers, would be interesting to see if Harlequins and Skitarii can be taken.

I made a Skitarii list earlier. Looks something like this:

10 Vanguard (Warlord), 3 Plasma Calivers, Omniscope
5 Vanguard, 2 Arc Rifles, Omniscope
5 Vanguard, 2 Arc Rifles, Omniscope
Dragoon, Taser Lance
Balistarius
Balistarius
Balistarius

Comes to 600 on the nose.

At first glance, farseer jetbike, then quickly noticed jetbikes under troops list.

Yeah, just doing a quick once-over, its an eldar stronk list.

Hurt you? More like hurt THEM, which is what most eldar lists do anyway.

Jetbikes and big cannons; not invincible, but damn good.

It is a hard list but I think I could take it with some Harlies and clever work.

Not going to make any friends with that however.

What list would you use to beat it?

A single formation made of Cast of players, comes it 597

Death Jester
Shadowseer ML 2 (Mask of Secrets)

Harlequin Troupe
Troupe Master - (Starmist Raiment - Caress)
4 x Harlies with Neuro Disruptor
3 x Harlies with Caress
2 x Harlies with Kiss and Fusion Pistol (As an insurance in an all-comer list)
2 x Harlies with Embrace and Neuro Disruptor

Starweaver

Now obviously the troupe is too big for the Starweaver but it makes a mobile firing platform.

I had the chance to play this out this weekend (thunderstorms all weekend kept me home).

Game 1: Eldar list went first and even with plenty of Ruins, the Eldar managed to kill 4 Harlies & the Starweaver. When the Harlies went, they put Veil of Tears up, making the WK miss, but both bike units flanked the Harlies, getting close enough for both to hit and killed 3 more Harlies, then JSJ in opposite directions. The Harlies, of course managed to charge one of the bikes and killed them, but by then the unit was so small that the WK charged them and finished them off. The WK did take 2 wounds before that though

Game 2: This time I tried to stack the odds in favor of the Harlies, giving them 1st turn and Night Fight. The Starweaver managed to kill 2 bikes (didn't want to Jink). Eldar turn the WK shot at the Starweaver, but could not get through the 3+ Jink, The remaining Jetbikes finished it off. The next turn was boring, the Harlies still were not close enough to charge the WK and the Jetbikes turbo-boosted to the other side of the board. Turn 3 was where it turned around. The Harlies failed to cast Veil (5 WC and not a single 4+ ), but they managed a 10" charge on the WK after taking off 3 wounds from the Neuro Disruptors. Unfotunately, the Harlies managed to kill the WK, leaving them out in the open for the Guided Jetbikes to kill almost all of the remaining ones. The rest of the game was the Jetbike just JSJing the Harlies to death.

Game 3: This game was the same as Game 2, except the WK decided to charge the Harlies to minimize all those Neuro Disruptor shots, but still took 1 wound from Overwatch. Without the charge bonus, the Harlies couldn't get the last wound in on the WK, who then stomped the living bejesus out of the remaining Harlies. The last round of assault killed the WK, but again, there were not enough left to not get Scattered to death but the Bikes
------------------------------------------------------
I am admittedly not used to playing Harlies, but Eldar and Daemons have been my main armies for years. I know how to get fast assault units passed even Tau gunlines. I want Harlies to be a good list, but they are just so easily killed (even with Veil)
