Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Harlequin Troupe

Product Information

Dark Troupes, on the other hand, appear sinister and vindictive in their actions and the ways in which they finish off their enemies seem cruel, flamboyant and often very violent. When using the Between Colours Strategic Ploy, does the operative have to be in a location it can be placed to perform the Shoot action? Harlequins go to battle clad in distinctive outfits, including antigravitic flip-belts, terrifying shape-shifting masks and halo-suits that can break up the wearer’s image as they move. These combine with the Harlequins’ natural abilities to make them a particularly formidable and elusive foe.

Of course, such a system is not perfect, for the Webway has become a broken and dangerous realm. The manifestation of the Great Rift at the start of the Era Indomitus tore at the Webway, ripping away spars already weakened by the passage of millennia and unravelling others, laying them open to the Warp.As for the names of your characters I think Gaelic names are good combined with what was said above. Each time this operative fights in combat, in the Resolve Successful Hits step of that combat, if you did not retain any critical hits, you can strike or parry with one normal hit as if it were a critical hit. Shadowseers can blind enemy operatives and drive them mad with their psychic powers. As they obscure their allies with illusions, they fire hallucinogenic grenades at the foe that cause disorientation or death. In close combat, Shadowseers crush bones with strikes from their miststaves, which also scramble the perceptions of those they hit. Masques also usually include at least one Shadowseer and Death Jester, and it is common for one of each to fight alongside each of the three Troupes and, on rare occasions, a masque may also be joined by a Solitaire. This final Player is not bound to the masque, and will serve with it only as long as his own agenda and that of the masque are aligned. The heart of each masque is the cadre of three Troupes, each of which is led by a Troupe Master. Appended to the three Troupes are the Skyweavers and Voidweavers. A full Masque will feature two squadrons of Skyweaver Jetbikes and one of Voidweavers.

A peculiarity that sets the Harlequins apart from their Craftworld and Exodite kin is that they do not bear Spirit Stones. Normally, when an Aeldari dies, their unprotected soul is devoured by Slaanesh in the Warp unless it is preserved inside one of these mysterious gems and joined with an Exodite World Spirit or Craftworld Infinity Circuit. Yet the Harlequins alone possess a secret that allows them to escape Slaanesh's jaws, and it is not one they seem willing to share. The Payne Brothers – Harry (left) as Clown and Fred as Harlequin, c. 1875 English harlequinade and pantomime [ edit ]You can reveal this Tac Op in the Target Reveal step of any Turning Point. When this Tac Op is revealed, start a Grand Act tally, adding one to the tally the first time each different Performance is completed by any friendly VOID-DANCER TROUPE operative. Note that it does not have to be the active Allegory’s Performance. Thus, one might be the Dawnsinger, another the Blinded Princess. Some roles are reserved for specific members of the masque -- for only a Death Jester may play the role of Death. The most ominous role of all is that of the Solitaire, the most sinister and abhorrent, yet also most fascinating and alluring, troubadour within the host -- for the Solitaire alone may take on the role of She Who Thirsts, Slaanesh, the great and hated enemy of all the Aeldari.
