Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Eldar Harlequins (section)

==Special Rules==
*'''Harlequin's Panoply:''' The central rules for the killer space clowns. 
**<s>4++</s>. Balance dataslate decided that this was too much and nerfed all the invulns across your whole army by 1, so you've got a 5++ instead on most of your stuff. Ow.
**-1 to be hit in melee.
**Move horizontally through any terrain or models.
***You'll be needing all that, considering that your troops are running around in skivvies.
*'''Rising Crescendo:''' Your units can charge after advancing and they can shoot and charge after falling back. Again, they'll need all that mobility due to the limited space in their transports as well as their blistering speed.

===Detachment Rules===
These rules only apply to {{W40Kkeyword|harlequins}} detachments, meaning Ynnari are safe if you wanted to go that route.
*All {{W40Kkeyword|Harlequins}} Troops get Objective Secured.
*'''Lead Role:''' If you want a {{W40Kkeyword|harlequins warlord}} and have a {{W40Kkeyword|troupe master}} in the army, the warlord must be a Troupe Master.
*'''Pivotal Roles:''' As with all other armies this edition, you can upgrade your {{W40Kkeyword|harlequins character}}s here, granting them a new power for a certain cost.  Each model can only be upgraded this way once.
*'''Travelling Players:''' We're back to the olden times, this allows you to ally in a ''single'' Patrol Detachment of Harlequins into any army, so long as they have one faction keyword in common ''without fucking up the other army''. Typically this'll just apply to Craftworld and Dark Eldar of course, though all the same you ignore {{W40Kkeyword|harlequins}} units in the Patrol detachment when checking your army to see what it shares, such as Army Faction or any given keyword or ability (so e.g. Power From Pain and Strands of Fate still work, if you ally into other elves).  You can choose whether or not to apply it to a detachment, but if you do, the rule becomes mandatory, which shuts down Luck of the Laughing God.  Note that this is simply a rule you can slap on a Harlequins detachment, so you can ally your clowns to ''anything'', provided, of course, that they have that keyword in common - you can use this rule to field mixed Saedaths.  

===Army Rules===
Like every other 9E army, you get rewarded for fielding a mono-subfaction army: these rules apply only if every unit in your army is {{W40Kkeyword|harlequins}} and the same {{W40Kkeyword|<saedath>}}.
*'''Luck of the Laughing God:''' The Craftworlders got their Strands of Fate ability to mess with rolls, so you will as well. Each turn, you can roll up to 6d6, and if every die is different, you gain that many dice in additional re-rolls on hits, wounds, saves, advances, and damage rolls. While not as convenient as the Craftword's auto-6, you can actually choose what you can re-roll.  You also, relative to them, lose the ability to buff charges and psychic tests, but gain the ability to buff damage rolls (giving you an additional incentive to take weapons that make damage rolls, like fusion pistols).

**The Q2 2022 Balance Dataslate took a wrench to this rule, removing the guaranteed Luck dice entirely. Now you need to make a Luck of the Laughing God roll in order to generate your dice - meaning you'll always have to chance the possibility of getting nothing for the turn.
