I got these along with a bunch of old metal painted harlequins, but I don't know what they are.

Is this some different harlequin unit, some forgotten OOP figure, or dupes of some kind of harlequin special weapons guy? How many of these would I ever field in a 2K point game?

Thanks!


I play...

Sigh.

Who am I kidding? I only paint these days...

They should be Death Jesters with Shuriken Cannon, from 2cnd Ed. or Rogue Trader (I got 1 in my mess).

You got a nice set here. According to the collector's guide you have all three existing model (RTB6/3, RTB6/9 and RTB6/16)

Thanks all! Are they still a thing? I don't have the Harlequin codex (just craftworlds one) I guess they split 'em up now?

I play...

Sigh.

They still exist, but there is a new plastic model most people would likely use.

People are asking between $10-20 per figure on eBay for those models. And yes, Harlequins were inexplicably split off from the normal Eldar codex.

Super annoying I'd have to buy another codex. I suspect they will sub in for some nice Dark Reapers (I have the old oop metal models for those guys too), even if these death jesters don't have the same silly hat my DRs have.

Silly hat or no, my Dark Reaper unit just doubled in size!

I play...

Sigh.

Two of the three miniatures have a shuriken cannon, one has a lascannon.
