Hopefully the latter. If these are nice models and can be added as a plug-in detachment, I might just break my clean sweep of Imperial armies...

"The Dance Continues"? Doesn't sound very creative. At least "Dance of Death" had alliteration to fall back on.

And 6 for $40 seems really steep. Is that American dollars?
I guess looking at the omnibus it'd have to be.

Or wait, only 128 pages for the omnibus? Something's wrong here... And aren't they usually 16.99 or something like that?

Not to re-open the wound, but dire avengers are 5 for $35. And marine players pay $40/$50 for 5 vanguard/sternguard vets, so that price for a 5 man elite box is not unheralded.

I’ll have to see the box to judge if I think it’s worth it, but it’s within normal GW pricing.

Gathering the Informations.

Current unit size for Harlequins is 5, minimum.
The current box of 6 in Finecast is $41.25 but only nets you two Harlequin's Kisses when the unit can entirely be upgraded to have them.
The Finecast box gets you the two Fusion Pistols you can have, and the Troupe Master with the 20 point Power Sword upgrade(technically it's free from a Harlequin's Kiss but you have to buy the Kiss first for 20 points).

Couple that with a Shadowseer($19.25) and Death Jester($19.25) and you're looking at $79.75 for a unit of 8 Harlequins with the bare minimum upgrades.

Since we're not seeing the Shadowseer or Death Jester listed as new plastic clamshells it could be that the parts are possibly included within the plastic box meaning that the box of 5 for $40 isn't going to be terrible.

Not ideal; but not terrible.

I can see parts for the Death Jester certainly but not the seer. When they were limited to a single unit sure but now possibly they will get something the following week.

No news on the codex though.

If your feeling cynical, you might think they include a brand new type of weapon for the harlies that stand far superior to kisses -making old models pointless.
Anyhow, I guess kisses are now S-user, ap-, mastercrafted.

It's "can't be joined by another character" so I'm guessing he can be attached to a unit, but no others are allowed.

Either way, I'm equally dubious, largely because "blitz", unless there's some heritage I'm unaware of, is the least Eldar like name for a USR I've heard.

Not really. It's a T3 model with 3 wounds and a 3++. It can't hide in another unit, either. It shouldn't be too hard to kill, even with bolters. Flamer overwatch would be bad news, too. But if it hits its target, fuggedaboutit.

so in turn 6 he can move 6-36 inches?

It says 'equal to', not 'multiplied by'.

So, roll a number of d6's equal to the turn number? Turn six he can blitz 6-36? Turn one 1-6? Turn two 2-12?

The rumor says "roll a D6 equal to the turn number' and not 'roll a number of D6s equal to the turn number'.. As the rumor is written, on turn one you would need to roll a 1 and could move 1". On turn two, you would need to roll a 2 and could move 2" and so on and so forth.

I think the rumor is just worded poorly. A 1+ to move 1" is pretty dumb.

Yes, it is worded poorly but I'm not trying to read too much into it considering its source.

But as written, it doesn't do that either. "Roll a d6 equal to the turn number" basically says roll a d6 and the rest is irrevalent. On turn seven, can you roll a 7 on a d6?

Yeah, although in this case, I think he's probably right. My prediction is that the Harlequin rumors are mostly true.
