Eldar Harlequins House Rules for adding Harlequins to your Epic armies. By David Mcleod DANCE OF THE MASQUE Harlequins are the warrior-sages of the Eldar, traveling from Eldar settlement to Craftworld to the Dark Eldar Realms, and the Exodite planets putting on their productions that tell the tale of the Eldar fall and the legends of old. Garish and outlandish garb betray the subtle combinations of advanced technology that allows warriors with already preternatural agility to become assault warriors of breathtaking efficiency. Enemy soldiers that survive being attacked by Harlequins often tell of the coloured blurr that killed their fellows without mercy, and the terrifying visages that brought death and despair to the battlefield. To bethe victim of a Harlequin attack is to be a victim to ghosts as seldom can an attackers body be retreived and indentified. More than one Imperial commander has been executed in the middle of the night while surrounded by armed guards with nothing more reported than light breezes. Design Note – These rules are supposed to allow any Eldar Craftworld access to the sevices of the Eldar Harlequins. ELDAR HARLEQUIN LIST Harlequins are used by attaching them an Eldar army where they act as mini-army of their own.
