So there's a fun tourney coming up locally with the restriction that you can only run the base detachment for your army (for most CAD, but harlequins and adeptus mechanics get to use the ones they can that are most basic) and only one of them. So I've got three lists I'm considering using.

Option 1: Fire Power and Mobility

3 Death Jesters
Solitaire


3 Troupes of 6
2 Kisses On Players each
1 Kiss and Haywire Grenades on each Troupe Master
1 Starweaver each

2 Units of 3 Skyweavers
All have Zephyrglaives and Haywire Cannons

1 Unit of 2 Voidweavers

This one provides me with the most heavy weapon support (39 shuriken cannon shots a turn and 8 Haywire Cannons) with the most mobility. However this army does have the lowest model count of all my options.

Option 2: Psykers and Numbers

3 Shadowseers
Solitaire

3 Troupes with 10 models
5 Kisses on players in each
1 Caress on master in each
Haywire Grenades on Masters

2 Units of 3 Skyweavers
Zephyrglaives and Haywire for all

2 Voidweavers with prismatic Cannons

Highest model count army, but least shooting. Relies on 2d6 average for 3 instances of veil of tears to stay alive. However if it makes it to assault it's got the most punch.

Option 3: The Fluffy One

3 Death Jesters
3 Shadowseers
Solitaire

2 Troupes
2 Kisses on players each
1 Kiss on master

1 Troupe
2 Kisses on players
1 Caress on master

2 Units of 3 Skyweavers
Zephyrglaives and Haywire for all

3 Voidweavers

This one is a full masque. Each unit comes in with 8 models, it has the potential to be both the best and worst of the bunch.

Of the three, I would take the second list. However I would rather have 3 5 man troupes in transports with a shadowseer in each.

I have thought of that, but then I end up with messed up points. I could think about seeing what I could shuffle to do that
