HARLEQUIN SPECIAL OPERATIVES
DEATH JESTER
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Death Jester 6" 5 5 3 3 2 7 3 10

These sinister figures play the role of Death in the Harlequins’ saedath. Able to lay down withering hails of shuriken fire,
these ghoulish figures have a grisly sense of humour that manifests in the cruel and ironic ways they kill their victims.

Wargear: A Death Jester has a concealed blade, shrieker cannon, Harlequin mask, flip belt and holo-suit.

Death is Not Enough: If an enemy fighter is pinned by a Death Jester’s shrieker cannon, they must immediately take a
Leadership test. If this test is passed, the fighter is pinned as normal; if the test is failed, you can move the fighter D6" in
any direction (this can even cause them to fall off the edge of a terrain feature!), after which they are pinned as normal.

Bounty: If a Death Jester is down or out of action at the end of a mission, the enemy kill team secures an additional
promethium cache.

SHADOWSEER
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Shadowseer 6" 6 4 3 3 2 7 3 10

Shadowseers are enigmatic masters of trickery and misdirection, channelling their psychic energies into phantasms that
confuse and disorient the foe while shielding the Harlequins from harm.

Wargear: A Shadowseer has a miststave, shuriken pistol, hallucinogen grenade launcher, Harlequin mask, flip belt and
holo-suit. He may also exchange his shuriken pistol for a neuro disruptor.

Phantasmancer: Enemy fighters must subtract 8" from the maximum range of any shooting attacks they make that are
directed at a Shadowseer or a friendly Harlequin Troupe fighter within 6" of him.

Bounty: If a Shadowseer is down or out of action at the end of a mission, the enemy kill team secures an additional
promethium cache.

SOLITAIRE
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Solitaire 12" 9 9 3 3 3 10 6 10

The Solitaire plays the cursed role of Slaanesh. A lonely figure of dread who evokes superstitious terror even in his fellow
Players, the Solitaire is a sublimely lethal warrior who is the equal of an entire warband of lesser foes.

Wargear: A Solitaire has a Harlequin’s caress, Harlequin’s kiss, Harlequin mask, flip belt and holo-suit.

Impossible Form: A Solitaire has a 3+ invulnerable save and can never be pinned.

The Path of Damnation: If you expend a promethium cache to hire a Solitaire, he is the only model you can use for the
duration of that mission! The Solitaire counts as your kill team’s leader for all rules purposes when playing the mission.

Premium Bounty: If a Solitaire is down or out of action at the end of a mission, the enemy kill team secures an additional
D3 promethium caches.
