I am interested in the harlequin troupe box they look nice, but the price for solitaire is a bit steep

145 points? I guess that's fair. Eldar are such an underpowered army. You'll need to save points for those jet bikes. I mean they are like good lord what, 18 pts apiece?

Hmmm... It looks pretty broken at first glance, but with only T3, W3, 3+ invul save and can't join a unit, it's not yoo difficult to kill, even with IG flashlights.

I don't think it has plasma grenades either? That would be charging into cover is not so attractive. Have to agree with Primarch here. T3 and 3 wounds and a 3+ save, it is not so broken. I wonder if it is similar to Lileth from the Dark Eldar?

He's not an IC, so he can't join units. Says so in the WD article, too.

I was hoping and praying Prim and wiser heads would say I was wrong. :mrgreen: Still, looks pretty kick-ass and with that once a game move is like a guided missle. "Stay back you bullies, or I'll run out and smack you one!"

They have flip belt which is a tad bit better because there are no penalties to the charge range too.

Still, they are close combay specialists with low toughness and a 5++ in an edition that still favors churning out buckets of shots at medium strength. They are going to need plenty of cover.

And stay away from flamers :D Crispy Clowns are sad clowns.

The solitaire has eternal warrior so at least he won't be instant killed.

I wonder if he/she can take relics?

Yes, from the Harlequin list. If you look at the bottom of the Solitaire sheet it mentions something about Black Library items.
