Product Information

Always, the strands of fate have pointed toward the victory of Chaos during the last, mythic battle known to the Aeldari as the Rhana Dandra. Paint any metallic areas on the models, such as weapons or accessories, with metallic paints like Leadbelcher or Iron Warriors. Sinister, mysterious and mercurial, they wage a never-ending guerrilla war against the servants of the Ruinous Powers in the name of their Laughing God. A massive daemonic incursion is prevented, yet in the battle's wake the seers inform Vilimas that she now owes them a debt -- one they will soon collect.

However, just days after their arrival, the Tau are driven off by Harlequins of the Frozen Stars, who surge from the craftworld's Webway portals to violently evict the interlopers. Nine troupers dance the part of the old race, while three Avatars dance the part of the Fallen gods. Within its pages the Shadowseers have found a script, a secret final act that changes utterly the tale of the Fall. The dual-aspect of their nature serves them well when abroad in the galaxy, as Harlequins are reckoned to be the deadliest combatants of all the Eldar. The Harlequins are nomads, their warrior bands treading the secret paths of the labyrinthine realm known as the Webway.Far from welcoming oblivion, these lost souls rage against the slow destruction of their people, choosing to take the galaxy with them when they go. 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.

So I was wondering how it was best to run them like what size units and what characters to have in the army if any. How such an impossibility could come to pass is unclear, for on this matter the final act is infuriatingly vague. The culmination of this pageant is the dazzling duel between the gods, played out by Harlequins of unparalleled skill. That’s right – these alarmingly acrobatic assassins can make a cameo in Aeldari armies of both the smooth and spiky varieties.They wander the Webway and occasionally appear at Aeldari settlements: on a Craftworld, on Commorragh, an Exodite Maiden World, or even, rarely, a human world in the Imperium of Man. This is war made art and art made war, battle fought with perfect rhythm and meaning, and it is as lethal as it is spectacular. This baleful weapon, one of the Croneswords of Morai-Heg, has a heavy curse upon it and once removed from its stasis chamber within the Shrine of Ulthanash, it cannot be set aside before death. Therein stands a plinth made of finely graven obstinite, upon which rests a crystalline book said to contain the words of Cegorach himself. Chaos tyrants, Space Marine commanders, Tau Ethereals and Ork Warlords are all among those who have fallen under the flashing blades of the Weeping Dawn.
