We still haven't seen the Shadowseer, so I'm guessing that'll hit in the next wave. Whether this can work will really come down to her and the transport.

Wishlist alert* I hope the Starweaver is an assault vehicle with the ability to unload passengers after going more than 6". I want to see Harlequins flipping out of that thing like a jack in the box!

Agreed. I tend to play "slower" armies, which in the objective-based world of modern 40k, means I tend to struggle. If Harle's get a genuinely good transport, I will gladly start 1000pts worth of a collection to have as Allies. Thing is, right now they seem good in an assault, but like Repentia from Adepta Sororitas, they look like they'll be shot off the table before the even get close.

The Solitaire is an Elite, but he is unique unforunately :(

Well if there was more than one of him he'd hardly be a Solitaire, would he?

Solitaire can just indicate he is always alone you know.

**Hulksmash**

I dislike the unique on the Solitaire. I was already considering running 3 because of sheer awesome and fun. But then again I'm the guy that runs 12 Lone Wolves sometimes

I run single SW characters sometimes too. Had a 1250 list with like 15 guys lol.

Was that the power you had to roll 2d6" to see?

**melkorthetonedeaf**

**Ace Rimmer**

I'm so excited!

Really, IMO, all fast transports should be able to move 12" and disembark. I don't even play any armies that would benefit from that except in the rare moments I run StormRavens.

And yes, IIRC, old Veil was 2d6 effective range. I'd settle for nothing outside 12" can target them, or a transport that's open topped, can outflank, and let's any harlequins onboard assault coming in from reserves.

**Nevelon**

If there is anyone that should be jumping out of transports careening at unsafe speeds across the table, it should be harlequins with their flip belts.

Here’s hoping.

Wasn't it meant to be harlequin pre-order day today? They don't seem to be up for pre-order, is all

Ahh, ok, this is my first pre-order release day thing with games workshop lol, I don't usually find out about releases until after theyve happened

**Azreal13**

Well, sometime after 7pm, I don't think a pre-order has ever made it up for 7pm dead, typically it's 7.15-7.45, and it generally appears in the 40K pre-order section before the main page.

You have to wait until 7PM to get your pre-orders?!!!1¡!!

They show up here about 2 or 3PM here! How do they not run out?!

The foul sorcery known as time zones ensures that everyone gets the "sold out" message at the same moment!

Yes, 7pm, because we have proper, English time here, unlike you dirty colonials.

Harlequins are up in pre-order on GW site, they also have their own armies tab on the site as well (just the solitaire and the troupe nothing else yet)

**Nostromodamus**

Don't see a book either...

**angelofvengeance**

Here's the allies setup if this hasn't already been mentioned

**Nevelon**

Looking at the sprue pics, the kit looks fairly customizable. It looks like the legs and torsos are separate and universal, so you can mix and match. I suspect the arms also have a lot of options, they look like the should match up with any bodies.

I might be completely wrong, hate the new “zoom” function on GW’s webpage.

**Paradigm**

Yeah, you do seem to get a lot in terms of customisation. 7 torso fronts, 8 backs (so an extra pair of Eldar legs gets you another Harley). 2 masked faces, 5 'blank' faces with 13 mask options, 2 of each weapon upgrade option.

Also mentions being compatible with 'all other Eldar Harelquin plastic kits', so I that's confirmation of at least 1 more plastic box set I guess.

**zedmeister**

A most impressive kit:

In battle, Harlequin Troupes move fast and hit hard, relying on speed and skill to annihilate the enemy before they even have time to raise their guns. Once in combat, the Harlequins are in their element, performing a lethal dance of death while their masks shimmer with their foe’s worst fears.

This box contains everything you need to make a 6-man Harlequin Troupe armed with sword and shuriken pistol, including the option to include a Troupe Master. There are 6 sets of legs, all perched on outcrops of rock, with which to form the base of your miniatures. You have the choice of 7 different torso fronts and 5 torso backs, along with 3 extra backs sporting Harlequin jackets. You also get 6 swords of two distinct designs, 6 shuriken pistols, 6 harlequin’s kisses, 2 harlequin’s embraces, 2 harlequin’s caresses, 2 neuro disruptors and 2 fusion pistols. There is a power sword as well should you wish to upgrade your Troupe Master.

Alongside all of these weapon options there are 2 complete masked heads as well as a further 5 heads with space to add one of the 13 individually designed face masks. Also included are 6 weapons pouches.

There is a huge amount of variety for both posing and choosing weapons options and all of the components in this kit are fully interchangeable with the other Harlequin plastic kits.

This multi-part plastic kit contains 80 components with which to make a 6-man Harlequin Troupe. Also included are 6 x 25mm round bases and a Harlequins transfer sheet.

Harlequins plus a........Competition with Prizes!

Unless you're an Australian or New Zealander.

**angelofvengeance**

That's only available to everywhere but Oz/New Zealand.. Sorry fellas

**Thraxas Of Turai**

And an order of the Harlequins and Solitaire is enough to qualify for the competition...seems nicely convenient.

Do have to say that I am a big fan of the 2 kits thus far, may have to remove the scenery from some of the feet though, it being on the whole squad is overkill.

**ceorron**

Well I have always been a real fan of harlequins. This only extends my like of these death jesters.
