The idea is to put both the Day and Twilight troupes on the Raiders. The succubus will be running with the twilight troupe, who will be shooting instead of running, as she does not benefit from the rising crescendo rule, and because there are a whole lot of good weapons in that group. They will mostly monster hunt or elite hunt. The day troupe will begin to run as soon as they get out of their boat so the warlord can take advantage of the Raiment. I don't like having a backfield holder of 5x kabalites by themselves. I will probably bring them in reserve to save them from fire as long as possible. I wish I had another venom, but don't have that model yet.
I just realized another option for the DE CAD. You do not have to take an Archon or a Succubus as the HQ in the new Codex. You can take a court of the Archon, and you can take just one model... So I could take a Lhamaean for 10 points. This does reduce the combat power of having that Succubus with the Archite Glaive and the Armor of Misery for even more leadership shenanigans... but I could change around the list a bit.
So I was thinking with the above list changing with the following:
HQ: Change Succubus to Court of Archon: 1 Lhamaean
Troops: Adding a Venom (with extra cannon) to the Kabalite warriors who do not have one
Fast Attack: Get rid on one of the Raiders
To the Harlequin Formation:
Add: Star Weaver as a dedicated transport for the Night Troupe (not that they will be using it)
Add: one more Harlequin player to the Day Troupe
So the Day Troupe and Night Troupe will now walk, the Twilight Troupe, with all that shooting power will be in the one remaining Raider with the Lhamean riding along for fun. And the Death Jester from the Night Troupe will now jump into the Star Weaver on Turn one to put out some serious shuriken fire where needed.
Which version does everyone like better?
