HEAVY SUPPORT |
Death Jester (Margorach) or Death-head
The Death Jesters are the heavy weapons specialists of the Harlequin who tend to stand somewhat aloof from the rest of the Masque. In performance they play the part of Death, performing daring stunts of escapology and risk- ‘dicing with Death’ they call it. In battle they stand off from the other Harlequins providing support and delivering their punchline with Lascannon and Shuriken Cannon.

OPTIONS: The shuriken shrieker cannon may be replaced with a lascannon for +10 pts or a with a reaper launcher for free. Each Death Jester may be given up to 100 pts. of Wargear.
| Special Rules: Force Organization Charts: up to 2 Death jesters may be taken per Heavy Support choice. Independent Character: Each Death Jester is an independent Character and follows all rules for characters given in the Warhammer 40,000 rules. Movement: Each Death Jester wears a suspensor belt (Geirgilath) to offset any penalties to his movement by heavy weapons. Any Heavy Weapon carried by a Death Jester may be fired even if the model moved during the movement phase in a manner similar to rapid fire weapons. If the Death Jester remains stationary he may fire as many times as his weapon allows ( 3 for Shuriken cannon, 2 for Reaper Launcher, and once for Lascannon) at full range. If the Death Jester moves then he may only fire his weapon one time (regardless of weapon) and the range is halved. (i.e. 24" for lascannon and reaper launcher and 12" for shuriken cannon.) |
Wraithlord
A Wraithlord is a robotic body that houses the spirit stone of a dead Solitaire whose soul escaped from Slaanesh. Only one in a thousand Solitaires ever escape from the doom that Slaanesh promises. These souls of the Harlequin’s tragic heroes are integrated into this huge war machine. The Wraithlord strides into battle with the grace and ease of a living Harlequin, Crushing their foes with their mighty fists. A Harlequin Army may only ever include one Wraithlord.
