Structure

This page details military structure of Harlequins forces including Detachments and Formations.

Detachments


Forces of the Harlequins

Codex: Harlequins details a unique Detachment - Forces of the Harlequins Detachment. This follows all the Detachment rules presented in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules.


RESTRICTIONS
All units in this Detachment must have the Harlequins Faction.

COMMAND BENEFITS
Emissary of Cegorach: If you have selected a Troupe Master from this Detachment as your Warlord, you can re-roll the result when rolling on one of the Warlord Traits tables in Codex: Harlequins.

Rising Crescendo: From the start of the second turn, all units in this Detachment that have the Fleet special rule can Run and Charge in the same turn.

Reborn Warhost

The combined forces of the Aeldari take to the battlefield as a Reborn Warhost. These warriors have heard Yvraine’s words or the call of Ynnead, and fight free from the fear of soul death. This collection of the Aeldari’s most skilled warriors is more than equal to the burden that destiny has placed upon them.

The Reborn Warhost is a special type of Detachment that can be included in any Battle-forged army. Unlike the Detachments shown in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules, it has a Force Organisation Chart whose slots are a combination of Battlefield Roles and Formations from multiple Factions. However, it still has compulsory and optional elements, as well as Restrictions and Command Benefits, just like any other Detachment.

Although units cannot normally belong to more than one Detachment, units from a Formation that is part of a Reborn Warhost are an exception. They count as part of both their Formation and the Detachment, and have all associated Command Benefits and special rules. If your Warlord is part of a Formation or an Army List Entry that makes up part of a Reborn Warhost, that entire Reborn Warhost is your Primary Detachment.

The Reborn Warhost Army List divides the units available into several categories, according to their Battlefield Role. With the exception of the Ynnari and Black Guardians units, you must use the profiles, points costs, equipment, options, special rules and any Dedicated Transports available to each unit as described on their codex datasheet. Each entry will include an abbreviated reference to the codex where their appropriate datasheet can be found, denoted as follows:
