The melee weapons are great, but the fusion pistols are so useful. Great for drive bys. Really, just don't over load them. If going with specialist melee weapons, stick to only two or three a squad. Leave some naked troupes to die first.
I find all my troupes are dead by the end of the game, and the characters do most of the actual leg work.
Awesome, Thankyou KS.
I've had a little play with the roster and have come up with the following:
++ Battalion Detachment +3CP (Aeldari - Harlequins) [79 PL, 1497pts] +++ HQ +Shadowseer : Shuriken Pistol
Troupe Master : Fusion Pistol, Harlequin's Embrace
Troupe Master : Fusion Pistol, Harlequin's Embrace

+ Dedicated Transport +Starweaver : 2x Shuriken Cannon
Starweaver : 2x Shuriken Cannon
Starweaver : 2x Shuriken Cannon
Starweaver : 2x Shuriken Cannon
++ Total: [79 PL, 1497pts] ++I did think about adding in some more Skyweavers and making them into 3 units of 2 (and then in an outrider detachment for an Extra CP) but thought it may be better to have an extra Troupe and Starweaver as you have suggested. With a little bit of work I should be able to field this force (will need a handful more troupe models) but I have just under a month to get them together anyway.
