    The key takeaways are that Harlequins see no distinction between art and war. They travel from Craftworld to Craftworld to perform The Dance and combat the threat of Genestealers.

    The different types of Harlequin troops mentioned are Troupers, Troupe Leaders, Great Harlequins, and Death Jesters. Troupers make up the basic fighters in a troupe led by a Troupe Leader. A Masque is commanded by a Great Harlequin.

    Harlequins are armed with two weapons, either two hand weapons like power gloves or power axes, two pistols like shuriken pistols, or one of each. Shuriken pistols can kill Genestealers on a 6+ and have a range of 12 squares.

    HARLEQUINS
    By Dean Bass

    The Harlequins are unique amongst Eldar. Instead of constantly defending the war like side of their
    personality from their artistic side, they actually see no distinction between art and war. A Harlequin Troupe
    travels from Craftworld to Craftworld with only one purpose, to perform The Dance.
    The following rules are the basic rules for Harlequins in Space
    Hulk. Harlequins are Eldar specialist troops particularly well
    suited to combat the menace of the dreaded Genestealers.
    These rules are designed to be easy enough for all but the most
    novice gamers to grasp but should still provide a challenging
    game for the more experienced players. The four missions
    which follow the rules can be played using the models in the
    Harlequins boxed set or similar individual models. In all,
    thirteen models are needed and for ease of use should be at
    least similar to the descriptions given in the force lists. If you
    haven't got exact models you will have to make a note of
    which figure represents which character.
    The major difference between Terminators and Harlequins is
    that the Harle quins are much better suited to attack the
    Genestealers in close combat and they move a lot fa5ter. Thi5
    leads to a completely different style of game, which I hope you
    will enjoy. You should find these new rules interesting and
    enjoy the new flavour they bring to the game. In future we
    intend to bring you other campaigns like this that use new
    races and new rules.

    BACKGROUND
    The very presence of Harlequins has been known to throw
    strong enemy armies into retreat and the arrival of a Harlequin
    Masque in the middle of a battle has been known to turn the
    tide from bitter defeat to outright victory. The Harlequins
    represent the cream of the Eldar fighting forces and owe no
    allegiance to any Craftworld. A Harlequin force can appear
    anywhere at anytime, responding to their own plans or whims.

    The Harlequins have one great overriding passion, to make


    war on Chaos. When the first Space Hulk carrying
    Gcnestealcrs appeared in Eldar space it was seen as a
    challenge to the ideals of the Harlequins. Since then
    Harlequin Masques have always appeared to deal with
    Genestealer incursions. How they know when and where they
    will occur remains a mystery to the leaders of the Craftworlds
    but they are very grateful. The stories of these fights against
    such a deadly foe are full of heroism and valour and have only
    served to increase the awe surrounding the Harlequins.
    A Harlequin force, or Masque, consists of a number of
    different troop types. For now we will deal with Troupers,
    Troupe Leaders, Great Harlequins and Death. Jesters.
    Solitaires and Shadowseers may be covered in a later article.
    The standard unit of Harlequin fighters is called the troupe.
    Troupers are the basic fighters of the Harlequins and a troupe
    consists of five Troupers commanded by a Troupe Leader. All
    six members of the troupe are armed with two weapons, either
    two hand weapons, two pistols or one of each. Given here are
    the rules for Shuriken pistols, but other weapons may be used
    by referring to weapons table in either Genestealer or Space
    Hulk Campaigns. A Troupe Leader may be armed with the
    dreaded Harlequin's Kiss, detailed later.
    Any Masque will consist of a number of troupes commanded
    by a Great Harlequin. A Great Harlequin will be anned as the
    members of the Troupes but will be acknowledged as the
    greatest fighter of the Masque.
