If that's true I'm VERY happy. I will at the very least be getting that Solitaire - my favourite Eldar unit of all time.

OMG. Solitaire....

A new Solitaire model. He is in a dynamic pose leaping into the air with one hand out front and his harlequin caress hidden from his target reared back ready to strike the final blow. the model is supported by his jacket on the base. He has a high collar with a demon mask on his face complete with two horns.

WS9 BS9 T3 W3 A6
Wargear
Holosuit, Harlequin's caress, Harlequin's kiss, flip belt

Special Rules
deepstrike, eternal warrior, fear, fearless, fleet, furious charge, hit and run, precision strikes.

Blitz- once per game can blitz. Roll a d6 equal to the turn number, and that is the distance he moves and ignores all models and terrain. When blitzing his attacks are increased to 10.

3+ invul save
Cannot ever be joined by another character, and cannot take warlord traits
Can move 12" in the movement phase.

Can take haywire
may take one item from the "Enigmas of the Black Library" list

Harlequin caress S: user AP - ,melee, Caress of Death any 6 to hit causes an automatic wound regardless of of toughness at ap2, against vehicles a to hit of 6 auto glances

Harelquin kiss S: user AP- melee, kiss of death. One attack is a kiss of death, resolved at S6 ap2 and if a 6 is rolled its instant death

Flip belt- not slowed by difficult terrain and no penalty for charging through cover. also 2+ look out sir rolls.

Not sure if I believe them, but if so... awesome.

I'm going to guess that week 2 will be the Harlequin jetbikes and the codex book (kinda hope they get another clampack or two though)

I have the original Solitaire in metal and love that model.... along with all the other harlies... This is always been one of my favorite parts of the Eldar... my friends back in the day would target them to the exclusion of everything else...

Those stats are beastly... I would be surprised if that was accurate, but then an old solitaire had what.. a 12" charge and +1 Attacks for every inch it didn't use? =)

Gary says that the source that is providing this information has a 100% accurate track record.

Honestly, it wouldn't be the solitaire unless it was the ultimate glass cannon. He's a beast in melee but he will die to a simple 5 man tactical marine bolter volley if you are careless with him. Overwatch is even a threat to him.

I can't wait to do a full Harlequin army.... although it will probably be my 2016 army since it will take for-ever to paint all those diamonds!

Dont see how a S3 model without regular AP is a glass cannon... glass maybe but even with WS9 and 10 attacks thats around 2 dead MEQs...

True enough, Def. The Solitaire always required some finesse to get into place without dying heh. I may have to break out the old Harlie rules and re-read them just for the hell of it.

We haven't seen any of the relics or "enigmas" yet.

The harlies kiss is a little bit of a let down... I'd prefer it would have stayed as rending.

Caress is now the upgraded kiss.
