I figure I should start a hobby progress blog to keep track of my Harlequins as I finish them. I've painted them as literal ghosts of the webway - ethereal and foreboding. I hope you like the scheme and photos! I will post more as it comes - I have a whole Harlequin army waiting to be painted!

Here is the current progress on the Troupe (Dec. 22nd, 2017):

I really like the colour scheme, very cool harlequins. I'm going to enjoy watching this group taking shape.

The dark scheme works so well on this group of "colourful" minis. If you've not seen them my friend Jakob has some cool Harlequins here: http://miniatextures.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/harlequin-solitaire.html
and here: http://miniatextures.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/harlequin-shadowseer.html

Miklu has one here: https://ironsleet.com/2015/11/08/agaith-arebennian-the-black-librarian-is-finished/

Awesome. Brilliant idea for a scheme, love the masks.

Those are some great schemes! Yeah, the dark schemes do look very nice on the Harlequins.

Here are some WIP shots of my first Starweaver. Liking how it's turning out.

**Inevitable_Faith**

Gorgeous idea, the monochromatic look with one spot colour really works well for an army that is traditionally exploding with colour.

**rollawaythestone**

Added some images of some players I finished up:

**evildrcheese**

Lovely stuff. Really like the star weaver.

**Aryllon**

This is such an awesome concept!

The Shadowseer is particularly cool. Really looking forward to see what you do for the rest of the project.

**Verviedi**

This is such a great paint scheme and style. That Shadowseer makes me think it's doing to start TALKING LIKE THIS.

**Inevitable_Faith**

Very nice.

**Master Azalle**

Love your harlequin troop! It's different to see them dual tone instead of multi-colored, love the effect!

**rollawaythestone**

Finished a couple more Harlies. 1 shy of a full 6 man Troupe.

**Inevitable_Faith**

Those diamonds on the leg look fantastic. Very well done.

**PDH**

The diamonds fading up from the solid foot are excellent.

As is the canopy on the zippy transport.

**evildrcheese**

Very nice. How about some squad shots?

EDC

**rollawaythestone**

My next goal is to finish up the squad and their transport. Will definitely take some group shots once they are done!

**Veteran Sergeant**

Fantastic paint scheme and execution. I had imagined a similar black-based scheme but with purple or red for the ones I got in Death Masque. But, let's be realistic, at the rate I paint and which how much other stuff I have to get done, lol. So I'll just appreciate yours and pretend mine might have even looked half that good.

**rollawaythestone**

I've been working on my Death Jester today for the Dakka monthly painting competition. Really happy with how he is shaping up. He's about ~90% now, so I was eager to share my progress. Need to clean up some lines and go up one final highlight with white on the diamonds/black.

Finished him up!

**Inevitable_Faith**

Looking very nice! I find it very difficult to make models that are mostly black look appealing but you`ve pulled it off wonderfully here.

**rollawaythestone**

Finished my Solitaire! Hope you enjoy!

... and the full Hero's Path.

**Inevitable_Faith**

Fantastic work. They look great all together.

**evildrcheese**

Very col. Death Jester looks wicked.

EDC

**Alaricuk**

Love the shading and highlights on these, awesome looking models.

**Davout**

Really like how these turned out. They make me think of smoke and mist.

**rollawaythestone**

Working on adding the Yncarne to my Harlequins.

**Inevitable_Faith**

It's looking great so far, it'll be a beautiful addition to your force. Looking forward to seeing more.

**Master Azalle**

Yncarne Looks fantastic. I like the use of the alternate blades!

**rollawaythestone**

Wanted to share this Shadowseer conversion I just finished up tonight using the Mistweaver Saih model. Super happy with how it turned out. She wields the Mask of Secrets to the despair of her enemies. I added the haywire grenades, mask, mask on the staff, Harlequin flip belt, and a mask and grenades to the backside.

What do you all think? Anything easy to add to make it more Harlequiny? It definitely could use a Shadowseer backpack, but unsure how to make that happen.

**evildrcheese**

Yncarne looks awesome!

Wicked ShadowSeer conversion too.

**youwashock**

Really like the Shadowseer. Such a delicate attachment for the mask in her hand. Just a great piece of modeling there.
