Codex Harlequins Rumor Roundup!

[Mr Mystery]

And in proper terms.....

I honestly cannot remember if they've done away with restricting DT availability to squads which can actually fit inside/on it?

If memory serves, whilst only the owning unit can deploy inside/on the transport, it can now pick up anyone once battle is underway.

Depending on what it's armed with (if indeed anything, with Harlies assume nothing), it could be a useful secondary tank hunter.

I hope the rumour of the Transport being a duel kit is true. So far they have 1 troops and 3 Elites, hopefully we will see at least one thing for each of the other slots. Perhaps jetbikes will be week3 (?)

[Defenestratus]

I'm beginning to think that the "jetbike" unit and the "transport" unit might be one in the same, especially seeing how both at one point have been referred to as "Starweavers".

What would be cool, if this was the first vehicle squadron transport -- where one squad of infantry can take a squadron of venom-like vehicles as a transport. Would definitely be a new and unique mechanic methinks.

Ooooooooooooh............

Harlequin Chariot anyone? Pilot, and two Harlies on the back to do the fighting?

That would be pretty cool, especially if it has hit and run.

And by cool I mean 'deeply frustrating for your opponent because the scrawny sods won't stand still long enough for you to punch them'

Which is the same thing.

Sort of had that in 2nd Edition, when Vypers could have a fighting platform for a character rather than the gun cradle (no model ever produced).

Imagine a squadron of those upside your head.

Sounds like the Transport is coming next week.

[Arkhan Land]

I really want this thing to be able to fly in and out of the warp. this would make me happy.

I'll just be happy if we can get a webway portal.

[Arkhan Land]

Oh man that was one of my early dream pieces for this release, altogether I really love the Imperial WOM/Bastion/Aegis and I dream of the day perhaps that they offer at least that many pieces total for all the other xenos.

The Dream Team:

Spore Chimneys (again)
Webway Portal
Necron Necropolis
Great Statue of Gork, or is it Mork?
Tau Temple/Landing Pad
Re-release of Chaos Temple of SKulls with more 40k rules

as a start...

[prof.squirrel]

personally, i'm thrilled. i still have the harley's i bought in (i think) '93 or '94, but i have always wanted more and different ones. PLUS, (even though i like the old rules more (so far, anyway), finally, a codex?! yes please, all around.

that would be AWESOME!!
I hope their transports Deep-strike, are open-topped and have a 'grav-chute insertion' type rule.
Can you imagine Harlequins back-flipping off venoms into combat... oh so cool!!
