Editing Codex - Harlequins Angry Clown Edition

==Introduction==

Angry codices are an attempt to improve internal and external balance. Check out [[Codex_-_Angry_Editions |the Angry Codex hub]] for the other angry codices.

===Disclaimer===
Games Workshop in no way endorses this codex nor any of the other Angry Codices. No infringement is intended with this work, nor any other of the Angry Codices.  The intent of the angry codices is NOT to make GW go out of business, but rather to improve the quality of the hobby, which leads to a happier and larger player base.

===Editing===
Feel free to edit wordings to improve readability. Add anything you like to any of the Angry Codices, except the Angry Necrons, Dark Eldar and Daemons, for these documents you should instead first argue in the discussion page before adding or changing anything. If someone objects to something you have written or changed, you should civilly discuss and prove why your idea is good and how it fits with fluff/is more balanced etc. etc. If no conclusion can be made then the Angry Pirate has the final say, if he does not say anything remove any changes from the official codex. If you don´t agree with an edit the Angry Pirate has made you can write in the talk page of the relevant talk page or in my page by clicking the first blue link.
