The Masque of the Laughing God

Harlequins

We Dance the Steps of the Fallen Star

To the Aeldari, the Harlequins are living myth: the sworn keepers of the Black Library and the secret paths of the Webway, whose Troupes travel the stars performing the Ristar plays that keep alive the memory of the Fall. In battle, they become something else entirely — masked dancers whose holo-suits scatter light into blinding illusion, weaving between blows with impossible grace, wielding kisses and caresses that cut through armour and soul alike. They fight not merely to win, but to enact a story, each duel a verse in an eternal performance sanctioned by the Laughing God himself. Solitaires walk always alone, bearing the greatest sin of their kind so their brethren need not, dancing ever closer to the abyss they alone dare face.

Shared datasheets, detachments and stratagems are inherited from the parent pack, so points and profiles never drift from it. Only chapter-specific cards are held here.

Army Rule

Fate's Messengers

HARLEQUINS units have the [DEEP STRIKE] ability and, once per turn, a unit that arrives via Deep Strike can act as if it were any other phase. Additionally, HARLEQUINS units gain the benefits of Cover from Holo-suit shimmer even in the open, and can move through models and terrain freely.

Rules digest

How This Force Plays

Our own plain-speech digest of how this force's rules hang together — army rule, detachment choice, command-point economy and roster shape. Written by us, not reproduced from the pack; the official PDF is the only authority on exact wording.

Read the official pack PDF

How the army rule shapes play

Every list in this force answers to Fate's Messengers, so plan your turns around it rather than treating it as a bonus. There is no secondary doctrine to pick, which keeps the force predictable to learn and unforgiving to misplay. Exact wording lives in the official pack PDF; the summary here is ours.

Choosing a detachment

You commit to one of 9 detachments (Massacre Troupe, Twilight Pathfinders, Armoured Warhost, Fateful Performance, Path of the Outcast, Twilight Flickers, and more), and that choice locks in both your detachment rule and the 20 enhancements available to your characters. Pick the detachment that matches the units you already own, then buy enhancements last.

Command points and stratagems

There are 36 stratagems on offer, costing between 1 and 2 CP. In a normal game you will bank enough for two or three interventions a turn at most, so decide before deployment which one or two plays you are saving command points for.

Building to a points limit

The roster runs to 78 datasheets. The cheapest entry comes in at 40 points and the most expensive at 2100, so a single flagship choice can eat a fifth of a 2,000-point army. Use the list builder to keep the Rule of Three, character limits and your points ceiling honest as you add units.
