The Harlequins are lightning-fast warrior acrobats. These enigmatic beings do not differentiate between war and art, applying their lithe, inhuman grace to both without distinction. Sinister, mysterious and mercurial, they wage a neverending guerilla war against the servants of the Ruinous Powers in the name of their Laughing God.

FAQ
Codex: Harlequins
Q: | With regards to the Veil of Tears primaris power, how do you resolve a Template or Blast attack if a unit not affected by Veil of Tears is targeted, but the blast marker or template ‘accidentally’ clips another unit affected by Veil of Tears before rolling for scatter? | A: | If the template or blast marker (before scatter) is placed over any models affected by Veil of Tears, the firing unit is considered to be targeting them, and must roll as described in the Veil of Tears psychic power. If a blast scatters onto a unit affected by Veil of Tears the firing unit is not affected. |
Q: | Can Harlequins use any psychic powers besides witchfire powers while embarked in a Starweaver? | A: | No. |
Q: | Does the Harlequin Masque’s Rising Crescendo rule mean that units can be brought in from Reserves in the second turn, then Run and charge in the same turn? | A: | No. While Rising Crescendo allows Harlequins to Run and charge in the same turn, it does not specify that this applies even on a turn when they have arrived from Reserves. This means that the usual rule of a unit not being able to charge on the turn it arrives from Reserves still applies. |
