Contested harlequin list
« on: March 9, 2015, 11:13:01 PM »
Ok I'm trying to run a harlequin list and my friend doesn't think it is legal. So I'm posting it up here to 1) get other's opinions on it and 2) make sure I'm not doing anything I'm not supposed to.

Serpent Formation
TROOP 1
Troupex5
Neuro disruptorsx5
harlequin Caressx4
The storied Sword
Star weaver
TROOP 2
Troupe x5
neuro disruptors x5
harlequin's caress x5
star weaver
TROOP 3
Troupe x5
neuro disruptors x5
harlequin's caressx5
star weaver
Fast 1
Skyweaver x6
zephyrglaive x6
FAST 2
Skyweaver x6
zephyrglaive x6
heavy 1
Voidweaer x3
prismatic cannon x3
Elite 1,2, &3
Shadowseer x3
Psyker level 2x3
neuro disruptor x3
laughing god's eyex1
The mas of secrets x1
ELTIE 4
Solitaire
Cegorach's rose
ElITE 5
Deathjester x1

The shadowseers are taking up the open slots in the starweavers and joining the troupe.
I'm also bringing some allied Eldar but those aren't in contention so I'm not listing them here. Now if I'm reading the rules the way I think they go. I'm both following the force organization chart and using the Serpent formation. So I should get both the formation bonus and bound army bonus. Please tell me if I'm doing this correctly.

Formations are separate detachments. Same way an allied detachment is a separate detachment from a combined arms detachment.

Same way the masque detachment is separate from formations, which are their own detachments. A formation acts like a detachment, but instead of its requirements being things like 2 troops and an hq, it spells out individual units.

Your list only contains enough models to use the mature detachment. If you wanted to use a formation as well, you'll need to fulfill its requirements separately and it will only gain the command benefits of it's detachment and no others (and vise versa).

Does that make sense?

Sorry I haven't got the dex yet but from a brb stand point, you'll need an HQ for a primary detachment to make it a bound list. I'm hoping to get the dex soon so I can see. I reallllly want to play harli's too, again! Please let us know how it works.

That is a legal masque formation, however if you were to include 2 more DJ's you could gain the additional benefits of Cegorach's revenge formation.

Here are the parts in the rules I found concerning this:
Rulebook: "Every army has a Primary Detachment. If you organise your army using the Battle-forged method, whichever Detachment contains your Warlord is your Primary Detachment."
Codex: "Note that you can also include any of the Formations presented in this section as part of a Battle-forged army."

As Fenris stated, the codex has it's own Detachment, much in the same way that all 7th edition armies have their own detachments now. I just wanted to specify that the masque detachment is not a formation, The codex does include a number of formations in addition to it.

Codex: Harlequins has significantly different FOC than the Combined Arms Detachment.  Commenting on another army without the codex doesn't really help, especially when he has specified a certain formation.
If there is anything that recent politics has taught us, it is that quotes taken out of context can mean what ever you want them to.
Well I always liked the globals...
I knew I had fans!!!

Sorry, just wanted to get in on the conversation. My apologies. -*-

So, finally, my local store was able to get my dex in, something to do with the postal service. Now I am purusing the pages and will be well informed on this topic now.

overall everything is legal..except in the following way..if you are referring to the serpents brood formation cant take the solitaire..shadowse er or deathjester

but as a masque detachment its perfectly fine

Removed details about formation requirements. Please refer to our Forum Rules, particularly rule #1 in this case.--- GML
