Why choose Saim Hann as the Craftworld? Very little in your army can utilize the Craftworld trait effectively. I think you can get better utility with Far Flung Craftworld traits.

Sadly, the points decrease still does not make up for everything Dark Reapers lost. I really don't think they are worth the points. They become a one shot unit sadly.

And that’s what these forums are for! Like I said, I’m not a very experienced competitive list writer so I saw a lot of jet bikes and said ‘Saim Hann!’

What about the ‘Superior Shurikens’ ability (+3” range to shuriken weapons) with either the ‘Children of the Open Skies’ (+1” M for everyone, +2” M for FLY units) or ‘Hail of Doom’ (hit roles of 6 with Shuriken Weapons auto-wound and count as a 6 to wound so AP-3)?

Hail of Doom benefits every Craftworld unit in your army. It makes Dire Avengers quite useful with Avenger Catapults.

If you went Hail Of Doom, I would replace the Reapers with Avengers and ensure the Farseer has Guide and Doom.

With that in mind either Jinx or Reveal will be a useful ability for the Warlocks.

List updated with the changes mentioned. I very much appreciate your help!

How does the Harlequin detachment look? I want to make sure I’m not just wasting points and I feel like they will give me a bit more mobility and Oomf in close combat, plus the ability to assault people off of objectives.

1. Seer Council... with 3 bikes you can have 2 powers. Choose wisely. (Jinx and Enliven).
2. Probably wouldn't bother with a support platform in the guardian squad. 11 models means all blast weapons have max shots.
3. Wouldn't do shuriken underslung weapons on the serpents unless I had nothing better to do with 30 points .. like more windriders which are better.
4. Dire Avengers... stand firm can only be taken once.
5. Harlequins... I'd take fusion pistols over nueral disruptors. Probalby 2 per unit.
6. Your list has no real anti-tank weapons.... so when you face, imperial guard, imperial knights and chaos knights... whats your plan?
