The Death Jester by itself is kind of odd..

Ill have to find my Journal with the old army list.

But looking nice it seems ill treat myself to a few bits if true. If not I've not lost anything.

I will be happy with any codex that is harlequin, however I would love to see the Solitare and mimes make a comback... but we shall see. If I can use my metal harlequin jetbikes again I will be happy

I totally agree about hopping that we see Solitares make a comeback.

I just hope the other build are mimes

I may get a use for the 6 of these after all

The BoLS/Natfka guesses are mostly off. If things go as usual, you may see something taking design cues from this leaked on the interwebs this weekend, right after Necron Codex. Troupe Master is part of box, not a clampack.

Thanks for chiming in and sharing info again, Sad Panda A Solitaire model like the 2nd ed John Blanche artwork? Very much looking forward to it. Have you heard anything about the bikes? Yay or Nay?

If this rumor has any truth in it I think they will have to add bike harlies (what else could make them playable?) But then again, it would look strange to give harlies new bikes and not updating regular craftworlders bikes.
But if its a dual kit with windriders, the poor shining spears are left out.

I bet that it will be a dual kit with Warlocks on Jetbikes. It's one of the only units without a model left in the entire game, and it happens to be a very popular one.

Holy crap does this mean I might be able to make a Harlequin army?!

Come on Solitaire and Mimes...

If I can make a legit Harlequin army, I'll start playing 40k again

We dont have Farseers on bikes unless I missed it. Harlies on bikes would be awesome but farseers and warlocks on bikes would be dream

I would be in favor of dual kits but dont think they will. The model torsos would be diffrent (I think), but hey, if they make them, I will buy them.

I can dust off my Harlequin army after all these years (last I used them was with the 'experimental' codex)...

But I won't believe till I see it.

Please please let this be true.

The WD preview page

Yup so preorders for the products in said White Dwarf will be up on the 30th.

Exactly

That's as old school as it gets Nice shot

'Dance of Death' could be Wood Elf Wardancers.

Yes it could

Oh God, if it is Wardancers I will be shocked...

I've been saying for awhile that Wardancers would be an ideal place for a dual kit with Waywatchers, and if this pans out we could see something interesting.

Doubtful when WFB is only doing End Times releases.

Could just be pics of Jervis doing the two-step instead

Not true.

They're doing a combination of End Times and gapfiller releases. The first set of releases for End Times were Nagash, his Mortarchs, the Morghast, and new Spirit Hosts. The second were pretty much all End Times. The third book had nothing released, period, with it which was disappointing for Elf players. Thanquol just saw a combination of End Times releases which were more in line with Nagash's release than Glottkin. We saw Thanquol+Boneripper, the new Verminlords, the Stormfiends(which are not unlike the Morghast in being a new unit filling a new role in an existing older army book), and the new Warlord/Grey Seer clamshells.

So while Harlequins are certainly more plausible than Wardancers...the Wood Elf line is an absurd amount of Finecast, and still a large quantity of metal as well in the form of heroes and Waywatchers.

Those are some of my original 18 box set.... The First GW models I bought and the first army I played..... They are my first love and I will be so happy if they can be their own army again. I used to have a rhino painted up harlequin like because they could use anyone's vehicles but you had to roll each turn to see if it broke down...lol

The should have made a rule called "Clown Car" You may embark twice as many models over the allotted transport capacity of the vehicle. When disembarking take a pinning test.

I was pretty sure all the models released where in the End Times books.

Warlord/Grey Seer are just in the generic army books, same with Spirit Hosts.

You can run Morghast and Blightkings with the rules they printed in White Dwarf as just part of a normal army without having to get into End Times army lists.

I meant I thought they had rules in End Times, which is why I considered them End Times releases.

Morghast and Blightkings are the only non-character units that got rules in End Times, but again they also had WD rules printed and were specifically set up so that you can take them in normal army lists.
