I have one question: Where did the Solitaire go? I'm utterly disappointed he's no longer in the Eldar codex, despite being mentioned.

Actually, there is more than one Solitaire in existence. They're occasionally scattered about and are rare to Harlequin standards. That one just happened to be around and out-dance the Masque. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/460970.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/460970.page GMT Solitaire

"Solitares (arebennian) are outside the masque and roam the universe alone, occasionally joining a masque for a single performance or battle as the fancy takes them. They are the only harlequins who can play the role of Slannesh in the great harlequin masterwork known as the Dance; Various stories exist of other individuals who have tried and have been driven mad by the experience. They almost always fight as individuals.

Among the Eldar it is said that Solitares are harlequins who have been touched directly by the Great Harelquin* and have his insiht inot the fall of their race and the nature of the universe. A Solitare might live amongst the Eldar (or even another race) for years or decades. And there are many rumours and folk tales telling of Eldar who have met a Solitare and later realised that this was the Great Harelquin himself. Solitares represent the very pinnacle of the Harlequin ideal and are formidable foes."

I think that the TF Damocles Gulf Campaign allowed Eldar players to include a solitare.

The Harlequin in DOW is literally on her own; and minces foes in a solitare like fashion.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/469415.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/469415.page GMT Solitaire
In the latest codex it mentions that the Laughing God finds new ways to trick Slaneesh into returning some Soltaire's souls, and that is what pilots Harliquin Wraithlords.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/469852.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/469852.page GMT Solitaire http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/469863.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/469863.page GMT Solitaire

I now think that if my painting skills were up to the standard to allow me reproduce anything like the paint job on any of the eavy metal harlequins, then a dull, matt black assassin lurking at the edges would be, er, kool.

Matte black? HHmmm, Thats close to what i had in mind. Was thinking either black&white mime of death or something inspired by a friend of mine Who performs at renaissance festivals as a black&red Harlequin. I like the second better because of how it would contrast with the (Altoic/Iyanden) blue&gold. Lol on the lucius idea. Don't know if i'll do it but i like the visual.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/472099.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/472099.page GMT Solitaire
Focused Fire - Pleased to be of assistance. Mime of Death has a certain ring to it. Although it is idiomatically close to 'death jester'. I suppose that Lucius must cost close to US$20, so buying one just to cut his head off would be a bit of an extravagance.



* I've just noticed just how much more meaning there is in the phrase 'pre-fall Eldar' there would be to an American, it must carry some sense of immediacy that is lacking to the English. funny ol' fing, language.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/472936.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/472936.page GMT Solitaire http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/473101.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/473101.page GMT Re:Solitaire LotD when its parent codex was updated (it was never an official codex).

The old 2nd models of the solitarie are nothing too impressive – the models didn’t look all that different from the other harlequins. For my army I used the two GWS solitaire models as troupe leaders and converted on of my own based loosely on Poe’s “the red death”. Here are some pictures starting with the 2nd book image of a solitarie:

Just use the CJ army list in friendly games - the neural disruptor was a weapon that characters could purchase.

I think that the Callidus assassin still has a neural disruptor (though they changed the name somewhere along the line) if you want rules for the gun. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/478945.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/478945.page GMT Solitaire WH codex when I get home.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/479141.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/479141.page GMT Solitaire http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/479367.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223627/479367.page GMT Solitaire
focusedfire wrote:What do you guys think the "new" Solitaire should be like? Also, What do you think of using Liliths to convert into solitaires?

If you mean in terms of rules I think that the 3rd edition rules in the CJ where pretty decent, they just needed a wych like dodge save for all harlequins. For those who never seen the journal's codex harlequins halved WS of opponents and had a 4+ cover save due to their suits. Kisses would wound on a 2+ and insta-kill on 6.

The solitaire would be able to assault 12” but would receive an extra attach for each unused inch. He also lacked a LD stat, any attacks which used LD auto-fail against him.

In terms of models he should look like someone in a devil costume – maybe some Slannesh runes or imagery.
