I'm trying to solidify my tournament list for this weekend and I think i've finally come to a conclusion.

Plays pretty straightforward. Each HQ rides in a Starweaver with Troupes. There aren't any fusion pistols because I want to be able to utilize rising crescendo and advance and charge. Firing pistols won't let me do that. My thoughts are that fusion pistols are a must in a Ynnari list, but do without as pure harlequins. I think I have enough anti-tank with the dark lances. I like the Hellions in a large group of 20 because of hit and run and becoming fearless turn 4 (although slim chance they'll be alive by then). I am, however, having a hard time deciding on their drug usage. Normally, I would default to the +1 attack, but in a squad size that large I think having +2 movement to circle transports, fit where they need to be, and to really make sure they complete that charge, are valid reasons to consider the alternative. Would love some input before Saturday! Thanksssss

Pretty funny calling it a harlequin list with 20 harlequin models.

No fusion pistols on the harlequins either? That's their bread and butter in the star weavers.

Not sure why you have the Razorwing Jetfighters in this list.

You have 3 Ravagers already for Dark Lances and the Jetfighters cost the same points for 1 less shot, not a good points to damage return.

I also feel Fusion Pistols are an auto include on your Troupes in Starweavers. You don't have to deploy from the vehicles. You can merrily fly around in your stealthy ships blasting things off the table. You can still melee when you need to.

20 Hellions is probably overkill to. As small units they are great for capturing objectives. A blob that big is too vulnerable and too tempting a target, and likely to require you to burn CPs or lose several from Morale phase.

The points saved from the flyers and cutting down on a few Hellions can be put into an extra troupe in Starweaver and then start putting in some Fusion Pistols.
