A NEW AND DEADLY DANCE
Weaving a dance of death around their foes, the Harlequins of the Laughing God Cegorach
are among the strangest and deadliest members of the Aeldari race. For a Harlequin, every
battle is an elaborate performance, and one they intend to see through to the final curtain.
arlequins are the agents of Cegorach, the
Laughing God, their lives dedicated to
the performance of elaborate plays and
dances that tell the tragic history of the
Aeldarl race. Yet Harlequins are also fearsome
fighters, and in times of need they will take to the
battlefield to protect the fate of the Aeldari race.
Harlequins live, perform and fight as a Troupe, a
colourful group of individuals each with a specific
role to fulfil. The Troupe Master represents
Cegorach himself, while other members make up
the cast of gods and mortals involved in the
plays, songs and stories of the Aeldari. Such is
the skill of the Troupe that these performances
can be transferred to the battlefield, where the
Harlequins become a kaleidoscopic maelstrom of
destruction, combining extraordinary athletic
abilities with mind-altering psychic powers and a
staggering array of esoteric wargear.

HONOUR YOUR WARGEAR
Over the next few pages, you'll find new and
updated rules for fielding a Harlequins army,
bringing them up to speed with the rules
presented in the Psychic Awakening books for
Craftworld and Drukhari forces. These new rules
include three Pivotal Roles for Troupe Masters,
Shadowseers, Death Jesters and Solitaires (fora
{otal of twelve Pivotal Roles!), enabling you to
give each of them a characterful and specific part
to play in the Troupe’s dance of death,
You'll also find nine new Stratagems (we're
particularly fond of Polychromatic Storm) and six
new Enigmas of the Black Library, giving you
loads more options on how to equip your
characters and how to get the most out of your
Units on the battlefield, So what are you waiting
for? Don your masks and unsheathe your blades,
because tonight's performance is about to begin. ADDITIONAL
