Dark Eldar Harlequins HQ
A blast from the past: My 2001 Dark Harlequins. It all started with an idea after the UK 2000 40K GT. I always liked the Harlequins and would really like to play them. Problem as usual: GW did not have a proper Codex ready. During the studio tour the day before, I talked to Gav Thorpe and he told me that GW would not produce an official codex until who knows when. So I decided to use the Dark Eldar rules as a stand in army list. After careful reading of the Dark Eldar army book, I decided that all the Haemunculi, Grotesques, Beast Packs and Talos would not fit in my idea of the Dark Harlequins. I envisioned the Dark Harlequins as a specialised Wychcult that was impressed by a Harlequin performance. The pictures show my HQ - Archon or Dracon plus retinue as the Great Harlequin. For the HQ carrier I wanted something special. I took the main body of a raider and attached the front of an Eldar Vyper. As strange as it may sound I always liked the underside of the raider crew platforms. So I used the original platforms as side shields ( like the Ravager) and builded the actual platform out of plasticard. See the whole story at my hoempage: http://www.agisn.de/html/dark_harlequins.html The army was featured in UK White Dwarf # 259.
