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.

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.

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.
