I am impressed they realized just making him a character (Not an IC) wouldn't ensure he'd always operate alone.
It shows an understanding of the rules which is sometimes lacking.

So we have a Harlequin's Kiss with the "Kiss of Death" special rule and the Harlequin's Caress with the "Caress of Death" special rule. They're the only weapons in the game with these special rules.

Pretty much the most fundamental thing about the Solitaire in fluff and name is that it operates alone. Not even GW would miss that mark, I think.

Notice how they are on the smaller bases?
supports the T3 model on 25mm base and T4 on the bigger ones (32mm?)

I'm also happy that the Solitaire isn't a convoluted mess of details. It's a Harlequin with a somber face and devil horns. Looks nice, but not $26 nice. I'll wait for GW to crash one day and pick these up when they go on sale or clearance.
lol that may be a while  Try boxing day next year -- that may come a bit sooner. Of course, if there are any harlequin on the shelf, they'll be gone in a minute.
My attitude has just become that if I love it I buy it, because otherwise it either goes up in price in a couple of years or it goes OOP. If I like it, but don't collect it (and dont * love * the model) I'll wait for a sale OR buy it at the same tome as a bunch of other stuff and haggle for a better price. Nothing like a thousand dollar order to grab an extra few points off the price

Those models are very nice, and £24 for 6 seems almost reasonable from GW...

This Starweaver thing could be interesting. Probably carry up to 12 models from the squad size (ironically 12 which is how many numbers there are in card games)

Ohly feth. I. NEED. THESE. Always loved harlies, but they were so ass on the tabletop I had to sell them. Plus they were Finecast. Now... I don't have any money but I'm throwing my empty wallet at the screen. Take my money GW!
One small niggle though, I'd say the old models actually look better than these, especially the Troupe Master.

Without the rest of the rules, I can't tell if I want these or not. I definitely want a box for hobby purposes, but on their own the Troupe looks like a unit that would be shot to ribbons well before fulfilling their purpose. I'm not an Eldar player, and had thought this might be my excuse to start, but they're definitely not the "Wow I could see these allying with a bunch of lists" unit I thought they would have been, in the way Imperial Knights were.
That said, their transports, etc... will tip me one way or the other, i'm sure.

This is on the first GW releases I've been excited about in a while! I wanted to finish off my DE army, but since I knew these guys were coming I decided to wait so I could see how they integrate into a DE force (and purchase the remaining DE forces accordingly).
Although these models are very similar to the existing harlequins, the fact that they are plastic should be very nice in mix-and-matching them with other Eldar bits, and vice-versa with the DE army under construction.
Can't wait!

I am not a big GW conspiracy theorist... but it does feel like they let this out in black and white because traditionally harlequins are so colorful. I can't wait to see how they have been painted.

The old Death Jester and Harlequin Shadowseer, which were in the more expensive metal and now in Finecast, are $7 less than the new Solitaire.

after getting a C&D for posting whole sections of white dwarf pre-release I suspect posting in black and white may be Grot Orderly's way of 'modifying' the images so any potential law suit will be harder for GW (in whatever legal juristicion Grot Orderly is in)
(whether this is a real defence who knows)

Basically the same Eavy Metal job as the existing models. I'm thinking black, white and red will look cooler...
