So I would totally recommend using the extra model that is the gunner for the void weaver and convert him to a shadowseer. I stole that idea from someone here on this board. It is pretty easy to make the staff using the spear, harlequin mask, and part of the haywire gun to convert it up. If you have 2 star weavers then that is 2 more shadowseers. Shadowseers are one of the best and versatile units we have. I run 2 with phantsmancy and 1 with telepathy (Give this one the mask of secrets) I really think trying to play this list at 1500 you would really struggle but if you were to make it 1000 or 1250 it would be pretty dangerous. As far as the load out of each troupe I prefer to divide my troupes into their battle field role (or their role in the reenactment of the fall of the elder) . So I run 3 troupes in star weavers each with a shadowseer, one unit has all caress (goes after tanks and knights) the other one has 2 caress and 3 kisses (I typically send this one into HQ units) and the final one I run 3 embraces and 2 kisses (I send them into horde units or just weak units in general). If you were going to give your troupe extra pistols I would just use fusion just because it will help with any armor (though be careful cause if you have to be so close to get the melta benefit that if it does blow up your going to lose some space clowns.)

My harlequin army is one of the funnest armies to play and it has changed the way I play the game. You will learn that every single model is crucially important. Plus the modeling and painting options make for totally unique army. Not bad for a "Free army".
