In 2015 GW re-launched their Harlequins range. For the first time a multipart plastic set! I followed their announcements closely and I have to admit, I am deeply tempted to get some. Tempted enough to dust off some of my old RT era minis ... My old Harlequins...


I finally started to paint some of the new plastic Harlequin range. As said above I was impressed just seeing the kits, but to build one, to see the huge range of customisation possibilities - I am in awe!
1st model - a Starweaver! But since I still have some of the ancient metal Harlequins (shown above), I wanted a Starweaver that would fit my old mini in style and colour. In addition I wanted to use my Anarchy stencil Diamond pattern to mask the hull and use my airbrush.


And a pic together with my old Harlequins.

Amazing paint jobs, both new and old! The weaver fits in beautifully with the old metal guys. I hope we can expect to see more!

Thanks!

See more - Eventually, yes!

Some more old Death Jester!

In 1988 the Harlequins were released as a Regiments of Renown box set, which was referred to in the White Dwarf 105 September 1988 advert. This boxed set had really great cover art, which really sold it. The range was later expanded with blisterpacks, which can be seen advertised in White Dwarf 107 November 1988.


And something new - the Solitaire!

I have to admit, I need some time to get used to it.
I an way I am very old fashioned, I do not like too extravagant poses or “special effects” like smoke or something like this, way too busy for me.

But after assembling the Solitaire and the very 1st brushes I liked the mini, it certainly has a very dynamic beauty.
I took some extra care on the freehand Solitaire rune.

as always more pics on my site: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/harlequins.html

To this day, that center Jester is one of my favorite minis that GW has ever made. Great job on both new and old.

Lovely stuff!
