Games Workshop 99120111004" Harlequin Troupe Plastic Kit

Product Information

Some roles are reserved for specific members of the masque -- for only a Death Jester may play the role of Death. They appear morbid of spirit, resentful towards other masques, who perhaps surprisingly hold them in high regard.

This box contains everything you need to assemble a 6-man Harlequin Troupe, complete with swords and shuriken pistols. Yet within the pages of the crystal tome is recorded Cegorach's ultimate jest, a way to trick Slaanesh into expending all her power not to destroy the Aeldari, but to save them.

Only the intervention of Bran Redmaw's Great Company saved the Imperial Guard stationed there from certain death. That’s right – these alarmingly acrobatic assassins can make a cameo in Aeldari armies of both the smooth and spiky varieties. However, there are those masques, such as the Leering Moon, who prefer to field great swarms of Skyweavers, their deployment a ritual acknowledgement of the multifarious nature of the serpent that the Jetbikes are named for. As the 41st Millennium comes to a close, more and more Eldar vanish into the Webway, forsaking their past lives and taking up a Harlequin mask.

Alongside death-dealing, the Harlequins possess another, ritual duty: they travel between the realms of their divided kin -- the craftworlds, the Exodite worlds and the dark city of Commorragh -- performing the dances and plays of the Aeldari mythic cycle. The symbol of the Masque of the Midnight Sorrow is a spear driven into the inverse heart of Twilight. The Veiled Path's rune is the Inverse Enigma -– a signifier of riddles within riddles and plots within plots.

This adherence to tradition and connection to their ancient legends strengthens the masques in battle. The Masque of the Shattered Mirage are ghosts of the Webway, the embodiment of the Laughing God's maudlin mirth in the face of his race's demise.

The true nature of the ancient star-gods, the fate of the forsaken Phoenix Lord Arhra, even the origins of Chaos itself are but the merest fragments of the Black Library's archives of the forbidden and the forgotten. The Soaring Spite is frequently seen in the company of the Saim-Hann Asuryani, with whom its Players share a spiritual bond.With lightning-fast movements and deadly skills, these warriors strike fear into the hearts of their enemies before they even have a chance to react.
