Codex Harlequins Rumor Roundup!

Guess that's my next month's hobby budget spent.

Seriously, for all the problems with 40K as a game right now, and GW as a company, this is shaping up to be an exciting era for 40K players.

**** my life. These are amazing. Buying.

The Solitaire is one of their best-ever designs, personally.

Have to agree! Somehow the game is simultaneously in the best and worst place I can ever remember. Good old GW.

£10 to anyone converting them to Eldar Morris Dancers.

I've just realised I'm not seeing Death Jesters in the Troupe entry.

Dedicated Heavy Support unit full of shrieker cannon, you think?

Possibly a 1-3 slot per heavy support, each deployed as an individual?

As the Solitaire is likened to the Imperial Assassin, I'm hoping that the death jester is akin to an Eldar version of the vindicare assassin :P

This was their old squad style, I would like to see this back

[Arkhan Land]

also back in the day I do believe they could take lascannons but that was before they diversified weapons for races, either way a different weapon choice would be cool. If theres no new clamshell for the jester maybe an alternate ammo like reapers?

and another thing, sans their addition to the troupe I wonder how shadowseers/harly-warlocks will work out, maybe the chance to give them some bonus mastery levels?

[MorgothNL]

Does anyone know how one can actually field these guys? Will they be additions to Eldar/Dark eldar codex? (haha I'd wish), allies to Eldar/Dark Eldar? Allies to all? A stand alone army?

I actually don't like the idea of armies with many harlequins, don't think that suits them. They should be there to support an Eldar army, not to make war on their own in great numbers.

Boy am I going to be sad if everyone can ally these guys -.- .
