As for doubling up, I wouldn't personally, but it really boils down to how you'll want to build your list.

Would you mind sharing your reasons ? I haven't read the codex yet, but I assume more troops and vehicles would be useful.

425pt minimum, 455pt with two spare troupers, but you need some necessary options. IMHO it is worth doubling up if you want All Hariles army, as this is basically almost entire Harlequin product line (shame though, that it has Death Jester and not Shadowseer included…)

The Shadowseer and Solitare are missing right ?

How essential, or useful at least, are they ? Your post implies that the Shadowseer is valuable at least.

Thankfully, Harlequins don't have a huge line, and almost everything is a must-have, so the only thing in that set which you really don't *need* is Eldrad. However, with some colourful painting, you can still use him as a Shadowseer if you needed to!

The things you will definitely want after this are the Shadowseer and Solitaire, if only because they are really cool.

I would hold on ordering the set yet though, until we find out what upgrade options you get. The Harlequin line is very small, but the units can be heavily upgraded, and often must be in order to start serving different roles in your force. Fusion Pistols turn the squad into tank hunters, while Caresses are good all-rounders, as are Kisses. The Embrace is great for taking down hordes, but are also very effective against Invisible enemies (since Hammer of Wrath just hits, no to-hit roll required). Neuropistols are very good against 2+ save foes. Bare bones Harlequins are best used as ablative wounds for other weapons. The bikes too can function somewhat differently, as their loadouts aren't as varied, but can really tip one way or another in certain circumstances.

As it stands, you don't really know what you're getting. Often these sets don't give you options though, so I wouldn't expect to get the same level of utility out of this force as with others. Curious what the formation will be though.

Shadowseer is really good however we are all eagerly awaiting for the eldrad Harley formation.
If that formation is anything decent like say a war convocation then that will ultimately dictate what type of list you should build.
