====Scout Units====
*'''Mimes''' - Mimes have yet to undertake the Ritual, and so have not been initiated into the full secrets of the Harlequins. They are brought to a band by the solitaires, and it is up to the Great Harlequin what they must do to earn the right to be taught the ways of the Harlequins. Mimes may spend many years serving their Harlequin band in this way, moving from Craftworld to Craftworld through the material universe, watching and listening to all that happens. Mimes make good scouts and can manoeuvre quickly across the battlefield.
*'''Harlequins''' - The Harlequins are warrior troubadours whose carefully constructed masques and impressive displays of mime and acrobatics tell the many strange stories of Eldar mythology. They wear exotic multicoloured costumes, brightly patterned to represent figures from the Eldar myth cycles. They never show their real faces but conceal them beneath a shifting costume mask that can assume any image at the will of the Harlequins. When the Harlequins fight in battle their masks are said to reflect the worst nightmares of all those who gaze upon them, causing their foes to quail with supernatural fear. Harlequins are armed with the Harlequin’s Kiss, a tubular weapon that straps to the back of one’s forearm. By punching forward, the Harlequin activates the weapon and releases a tightly curled 100 meter long mono-filament wire (a wire only one molecule thick). If the tip of the weapon touches the enemy, the wire filament pierces armour and flesh to instantly uncoil inside the victim’s body. Within the space of a heartbeat, the enemy’s insides are reduced to the consistency of soup, and the wire whips back into the Harlequin’s Kiss. With their Harlequin’s Kiss, these stealthy scouts can make effective hit and run attacks against a more powerful enemy.
*'''Great Harlequin''' - The Great Harlequin of the Laughing God is a leader among the Harlequins and the most powerful of hand-to-hand combatants from among all those wandering warriors. The Great Harlequin bears the honour of representing the Laughing God, and wears a grotesque mask in the image of this enigmatic being. The Great Harlequin is armed with the Harlequin’s Kiss. The Great Harlequin can attack from cover and deal significant damage before escaping to disappear from the enemy’s sight once again. It is an excellent harasser.
