40k - First "New Warhammer" RTT - The Long War IV

 This weekend I have my first "New Warhammer" tournament. It is a three round 2000 point event using the Chapter Approved Grand Tournament 2020 missions.

I've had exactly one game of the new edition going into the event so am looking to get a few more games under my belt. Earlier in the week I published the participants' lists.

My own list is a single Battalion of Harlequins, as follows:

4x Skyweaver: Haywire Cannon, Zephyrglaive

+ Dedicated Transport + 

 

Starweaver [4 PL, 80pts]: 2x Shuriken Cannon 

 

Starweaver [4 PL, 80pts]: 2x Shuriken Cannon 

 

Starweaver [4 PL, 80pts]: 2x Shuriken Cannon 

 

Starweaver [4 PL, 80pts]: 2x Shuriken Cannon 


So pure Clowns, single Masque. As a 40k player who greatly prefers mono lists over soup, it is great to be rewarded for sticking to that line. I appreciate that this list may be able to be stronger by subbing in other Aeldari units but it's now how I want to play.

I suspect players will pick "Assassinate" against me, given the high number of T3 characters while the ones I choose have been narrowed down to 4-5.
