None of this has been played.  It could totally fall apart upon encounter reality.  Figure with 2+ cover save and rerolls you should get those Harlequins into H2H.  Of course neither of these lists have been set up to deal with armour.  So it will take some massaging.  Also blast/template weapons will have TONS of fun with this list.  I believe if you set up deployment and movement correctly that shouldn't be a problem for this army.

Tear these lists apart.  Make them better.  Provide your own suggestions.  Or just laugh at the screen and take another sip of your beer.  I'm doing the latter right now.
