Going on tour.
« on: February 3, 2006, 02:09:28 AM »
I currently am mainly using my biel-tan army, usually playing with only 1000 points.  I am trying to figure a way to use a troupe, or other harlequins, in a useful manor.  Harlequin characters are too expensive for most of the gains they give (unless I was needing tanglefoot grenades, shadowseer spells or something similarly particular), and I am finding problems thinking of a way to incert some harlequin allies in here.  I don't play with rules that have the harlequin wraithlord, but would not use it because of mobility issues either way.  I primarily fight IG, and chaos, and at times mutants and zombies....yes zombies.  My current list is at the bottom.

I can't add any harlequin characters to my warp spiders or swooping hawks because of their movement rules, and I dont see it as worthwhile to add an IC to my scorpions.

As for the troupes themselves they are just not mobile enough on their own for me.  Even if my swooping hawks or warp spiders dont do too well themselves, their mobility allows me to concentrate forces and maintain the initiative.

For the anti-tank role I have both my seers for heavy, and my scorpions for lighter and backup work, as well as my vehicles for side/backshots.  Because of this I cannot really see any point in using Deathjesters.

I would consider using some harlequin jetbikes but its a matter of having none atm, but i'm still open to suggestions there of.
