While waiting for corsairs to become a full list (if they ever do?), I figured I should figure out how to work them into a playable army... and the most interesting seems to be to just use them as counts-as Harlies. Yay clowns.
I wrote up a list to utilize more or less what I had for corsairs (20 infantry + hornet conversion) and I came up with a 1250 list that is straight-forward, but probably playable.
Troupe Master - Fusion pistol, Embrace
Shadowseer
Troupe (x2)
Player x6
- 2x fusion Pistol, 6x Embrace
Troupe (x2)
Player x5
- 2x fusion pistol, 5x Embrace
4x Starweaver
Voidweaver - Prismatic Cannon
4 transports + 1 support boat, all hard to hit, 4++, 24" weaponry across the board
Mass S4 AP-3 attacks, re-rolling wounds near the troupe master, and getting a nice defensive boost near the shadowseer. It's an incredibly fast/mobile army with flip belts and rising crescendo, somewhat mimicking the playstyle that I enjoyed with the Corsairs (but a stronger CC focus instead of close-range firefight-and-flight).
Ultimately I'd like to throw in some of the Elite characters (that solitaire tho), but given the limited options it's an army I'd plan to keep small (otherwise it just becomes 'add more troupes'). Not that I have a problem with that.
Anyway. Cool.
