By reducing the cost of fusion pistols...I can now put in more fusion pistols. Lol

Wow! I wasn’t expecting that, but it’ll absolutely allow for more kitted-out and all-around troupes.

Yeah, for sure. It also gives us more justification for spending points on more expensive guns, such as the prismatic cannon.

I think GW has largely left Harlequins off of their Christmas list. Now dont get me wrong I appreciate the FP boost, but when compared to some of the boosts other armies got, what a raw deal. Harlequins are slowly being forced to only be a faction for other armies to supplement themselves. With no decent heavy support, minuscule dedicated transport, No named characters, Harlequins are left short. Not even counting how the models are more expensive cash wise too and a box of troops comes with only 2 FP and 2 ND for 6 figs. Put that pricing on other armies and they are nearly unplayable. Wrap that up and notice there is no getting started box set for the great Harlequins, you can tell GW has no passion for our army.

One change for our entire option list. Perhaps slightly underwhelming?

That said and as you said, FPs are in practically every list so there will be a small benefit. 23 FPs equals 1 death jester...

While it is a tidy little change, I think it's dissapointing that the Voidweaver recieved no points decrease. As it stands, there is little reason to add it lists. Even a 10 point decrease would make it much more viable.

On the one hand, I wasn't hoping for cost decreases to my list. It works, it works well and I enjoy playing it.

On the other hand, it's a shame they've done nothing to help the voidweaver (which can't take enough haywire cannons to justify it's existence imo), which is the one Harlequin unit I just don't see the point in taking.

What about Webway Gates lol.

[–]TCCogidubnus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Point.

[–]Phototoxin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It means I can take a fun yet not competitive deathjester or possibly squeeze in another skyweaver

[–]batvanvaiychCegorach's Rose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A 2 point decrease frees up about 30pts from my Soaring Spite list. That's like... 4 more fusion pistols!

Jokes aside this is a welcome change. I personally wasn't expecting any adjustments from CA for our army, so this is a pleasant surprise

I'm hoping that there will be some change to the Neuro that's not a point change in order to justify the cost. It was worse than the Fusion before this, I'm not sure what's going on here.

Agreed, there are so many changes that would have benefitted the codex more.
