Is it me or do the old harlies look like Killer Clowns from Outer Space.

you know, seeing this thread reminds me I have some Skull Points I found while cleaning out my shed I need to redeem. Think GW will still honor them?

But he lives anonymously among Craftworld Eldar.

If Eldar are Psyker-sensitive, with loads of high-power Psyers, how is this possible?

Yup he does have a soul, it just happens to be pretty much screwed when he dies... most of the time.
Where does it say he lives anonymously among Craftworld Eldars, though? I thought he just wandered around with the rest of the Harlequin troupe, who all know exactly who he is. And when they meet other eldars and do their thing, you can be sure those eldars get to know exactly who he is pretty fast, too.

no,it does state(in a really early codex) that the solitaire is the only one that can play slannesh in the dance, and it is a rare occurance for the harlequin troupe to perform the full dance, due to the fact he is not a member of a troupe.
he just turns up when he wants.

In the old RT-era "Dance" Fluff piece there's a story about Harlies visiting Craftworlders, and then this nodescript Eldar on the Path of the Janitor turns out to be a Solitaire to perform.

The Fluff has since changed, of course.

Unfortunately... I prefer most of the original fluff to any retconned stuff.

me too. i cant remember the source but somewhere it stated that the solitaire was the most fearsome cc warrior in the 40k universe.

I know the 2nd edition codex had them but I dunno about the 3rd and further ones.

I know the most recent doesnt.

Wasn't there a whole harlequin codex? Someone at my FLGS has two harlequin wraithlords that apparently used to PWN in the Harlequin codex but now just count as normal wraithlords.

You mean the Citadel Journal lists? The first version wasn't too bad. The second was silly.

anyway, the point is they have left a fantastic character out when they brought back the harlequins. why?
