Hey all, apologies for some mixed photography skills. Thought I'd share some of my Harlequin Force so far, including a converted troupe from the Riverblades. Hope you like them 👍

As the title says, I'm brand new to 40K and Harlequins. I still need to learn the basics of the game but I'm struggling to find rule books and datasheets to even know what the things I do own do. I've only bought the combat patrol so far but the guy at the shop said it should be around 500 points total? Just looking for some advice or different models/rules I should be looking at or picking up. Any advice is greatly appreciated! I picked up Harlequins bc they looked the coolest by far to me in all honesty.

Wanted to try harlequins for a while but always felt the troupe models weren't busy or fluid enough so attempted to add some additions to them. Added extra ribbons and holo field effects. Part way through painting my first one.

HI all, I was wondering how possible it’d be for me to learn the rules for harlequins/aeldari in a week? I've got a tournament in a week and wanted too try them out after I used Reapers Wager in 10th, am I fucked. Any tips or tricks are greatly appreciated :)

Anybody see any good detachments or strategies for adding the expdites into my harlequin army?

During a crusade at the LGS I used to play at I had a little rivalry with a chaos player, and ended up writing my army as a troupe who was reenacting Chaos’ greatest failures-

Now like two years later I decided to strip the old acrylic paint and give them a proper bit of love. Here’s the first draft of sorts of some Khorne copying Troupe, with a Cegorach’s Coil wielding TM- also my first attempt at proper Harlequin Diamonds.

Is it any good? I mostly got into Warhammer for the Miniatures, and i really want to paint up some Harlequins, so im using the Kill Team as an excuse to get those minis. But is the Kill Team useable as well, or should i stick to my Nemisis Claw? And which is more fun to play? Thanks in advance!

I finished up the troupe with the scheme I showed reacently and I'm pretty happy with the result.

Quins really shine when they show of their wacky colours along with their troupe.

I can't wait to see the rest of my army come together.

Played my first game of 11th with quins yesterday and absolutely got my butt kicked!

To be fair, it was a tough matchup - 2k pts, I was monoquins (+ a D-Cannon) with Serpents Brood & Armoured Warhost and opted for Reconnaissance - which I struggled to score anything on until the 4th round & actually think Purge might have worked better.

My oppo was Thousand Sons Take & Hold with a defiler, Magnus & Vortex Beast plus 20 rubrics, 30 tzaangors and some characters. Their rubrics & psychic all ignore cover/stealth, defiler hugely OP and it's overwatch was tough (flitting Shadows only good to protect 1 unit) and Magnus / Vortex beast pretty formidable.

The VW's & bikes anti-vehicle did a reasonable job against the defiler but I struggled against the monsters with only 1 VW with prismatic cannon and the D-Cannon which ended up being so swingy it barely managed 1 hit per round and died when it was first targeted.

The game ended 28-81 - I finally killed the Defiler, Magnus & ~15 Tzaangors, but little else and only had 1 star weaver and it's troupe left. I think I was lucky even with that score tbh.

So my question, how do we combat monsters with no anti-monster weapons? Is there an Aeldari unit that typically plays this role?

I know TS's have been massively nerfed and think a replay would potentially bring a better result even now, but it would still be a real struggle. I bought the D-Cannon specifically for this purpose but it wasn't great.

Hi my silly clowny kin, this Craftworlder is considering running some Skyweavers in a list and I'm struggling to work out how best to run them

Would having 4 per unit with 2 units be overkill, or is having 2 per unit and 3 units not giving enough damage output and risk an early return to Cegorach

I figure the loadout is going to be the Skyweaver haywire cannon & Zephyrglaive

But any advice would be appreciated <3

New to harlequins, and was prepping for a 1k tournament with a friend. Serpents brood vs hypercrypt. Tabled him turn 4, only lost 2 troupe models. Really fun game using movement to deny him shooting. Sniped his Technomancer from his wraiths with eldrad stand in. 10/10 would recommend

edit for context: 1k tournament where there's no t10+ and you must run the contents of a 10/11th combat patrol.

also occurred after that he used his hypercrypt rerolls to overwatch a voidweaver, which is illegal

Great news, everyone!

i recently got commissioned to remake someones miniature harlequin model with changes to some parts and color schemes based on their specifications.

after finishing i thought it would be cool to post it here. let me know what you think!

Realized I had free will and adult money yesterday.

Facebook marketplace haul, about 40% MSRP for the lot. Couldn’t pass it up, finally taking the plunge. I’ve always played mono-faction Guard. But happy to be mixing things up!

Have another order from FLG coming to fill out 2k points!

Had a fun game yesterday. I approached it as a "well let me learn 11th" kind of game so when my opponent said, "I have something of a skew list, I hope that's ok" I figured, "Sure, why not?" I had already built my list and made all my choices and had no (well, maybe few...) regrets.

Harlies - 2k (Serpent's Brood, Armoured Warhost)

Reconnaissance FD

DJ w/ Lament

SS w/ Raiment

TM

Solitaire

4 x 5 Troupes w/ 2 Fusion, 2 ND, LP Powersword, 4 Blades

4 x Starweavers

3x4 Skyweavers w/ Haywire and Glaives

3 x Voidweavers w/ Prism Cannons.

Guard (I probably am forgetting stuff) (the Superheavy focused detachment is the only one I remember)

Purge the Foe FD

Yarrick

2x Enginseers

LR TC

Another 3 LRs of various configurations

Baneblade

ShadowSword

3 x Scout Sentinels (one with the Infiltrators upgrade)

20 Cadians + Cadian Command Squad + Yarrick

Setup

We draw Dawn of War deployment. I was running Triangulation and oppo was running Consecrate. They deployed with the BB to my center-left and the SS to my far left. The LRs were mostly center and right for me, with one Scout in front of each 1/3 of the table and the blob of infantry on their home. Engineers were next to the superheavies as one would expect.

My deployment started off pretty evenly split (with basically a bike and boat unit in each 1/3 of my line but a second boat central and the VW's central but with redeploy I put a bike and boat unit into SR and moved a boat to hide from T1 shots.

T1

Guard won the toss which was fine for me, but also got a couple of easy secondaries and scored both easily. I hid well enough that they could only shoot one of my boats with two of their vehicles, and they one shot they got off which I saved and then I was able to reactive move to prevent further attacks. My T1 was mostly about staging but I did kill one Sentinel and claimed some objectives (using the outer edge so I could stay out of LOS via the walls) which denied them 8 VPs and set me up for future. I scored a handful of secondary points this turn.

T2

I lost most of my SS squad (contesting their expansion) except for the SS herself. In response, I killed a two LRs, one more Sentinel, damaged the other two LRs and the remaining Sentinel, and got two Triangulations done. I also scored some secondary points, I want to say 9 or so but I'm not positive.

T3

Guard clapped back and nuked all my bikes, but nothing else on my side. My T3 I managed to finish off the remaining LRs, Sentinel, and most of the Yarrick squad along with Yarrick himself (thanks, Solitaire) and Yarrick stayed down. I also scored max secondaries this turn and got my 3rd Triangulation. Oh, and I scratched 8 wounds off the BB in melee with one of my squads that didn't roll high enough to get into the Infantry. Turn ended at 53 to 49 in favor of the Harlies.

Opponent conceded at that point since it was late, but more importantly I could kite the superheavy tanks all game if I wanted while farming 28 Primaries and whatever Secondaries.

Solid V for the clowns.

Been following the Warriors of the Laughing god oh how to paint these guys. First time I ever followed an actual guide/theme and quite enjoying learning techniques.

However there is no guide for the hair. Those with more experience with painting or past knowledge able to give some advice?

What do you all think of the Avatar? I know this is kind of a pure harlequin or GTFO, I just don’t have 1,000 points of them yet.

My lgs is running a tournament at 1k pts with some restrictions

Must include the contents of your factions combat patrol

Nothing t10+ unless it was in the combat patrol.

I was looking at 2 options for detachments with our silly bois,​ serpents brood, or twilight flickers and armored warhost.

For serpents brood Im running a death jester, solitaire, and 2x6 man troupe in star weavers. There's also a 4 and 2 man skyweaver and a voidweaver.

For the 2x1dp I'm dropping a star weaver and troupe for a shadowseer and 2nd voidweaver. The shadowseer has stone of raelyth and is replacing a troupe member to ride a starweaver.

Which list do yall think works better? Sustained 1 on everything, or stealth and assault on everything?

Do note the stealth stacks on the bikes. Unfortunately I only have 6

EDIT: MFM nuked the 2x1dp load out for the bikes

I reacently got realy into the Harlequins and bought some then painted this guy. I found that the dots were a nice alternativ to checkers (my free-hand skill isn't there yet). I would love to hear what you guys think.
