Dark Eldar Harlequins Talos
Again on auction! The auction on June went awry... Another blast from the past: My 2001 Dark Harlequins. It all started with an idea after the UK 2000 40K GT. I always liked the Harlequins and would really like to play them. Problem as usual: GW did not have a proper Codex ready. During the studio tour the day before, I talked to Gav Thorpe and he told me that GW would not produce an official codex until who knows when. So I decided to use the Dark Eldar rules as a stand in army list. After careful reading of the Dark Eldar army book, I decided that all the Haemunculi, Grotesques, Beast Packs and Talos would not fit in my idea of the Dark Harlequins. I envisioned the Dark Harlequins as a specialised Wychcult that was impressed by a Harlequin performance. The picture shows my only Heavy choice - A more or less scratch build Talos. After building the Jetbikes I had a lot of spare parts. Why not put them to good use and bulid a Talos? At first I did not want to use a Talos in the army (especially since I really did not liked the GW model...), but the points werestill available and the the mini I builded had a nice DARK Eldar feel... See the whole story at my hoempage: http://www.agisn.de/html/dark_harlequins.html The army was featured in UK White Dwarf # 259.
