	*'''Neuro Disruptor''' - AP2 Fleshbane pistol means people are going to die, especially when each player in a troupe can carry one; it costs a fair bit, but is still cheaper (and safer) than a plasma pistol in most other armies, although the plastic kit apparently only comes with the option for two. Watch out, though, because it does exactly zip to vehicles (while the shuriken pistol can at least glance AV10).		*'''Neuro Disruptor''' - AP2 Fleshbane pistol means people are going to die, especially when each player in a troupe can carry one; it costs a fair bit, but is still cheaper (and safer) than a plasma pistol in most other armies, although the plastic kit apparently only comes with the option for two.

	*'''Fusion Pistol''' - More expensive and shorter ranged, but good against vehicles. This has always been around Harlequins, and not much has changed with this weapon. Only take if you have no other means of tank-hunting. One thing to note - the melta range is 3" which is TERRIBLE if you cause a vehicle to explode in your T3 face. Great. You killed a vehicle. It exploded and killed three of your guys. The inhabitants of that vehicle shoot the rest of your guys to death. Get your anti tank from allies, skyweavers, or voidweaver, and give this a pass. ALT TAKE: hunting vehicles with this thing is silly. Your targets are MCs and TEQs, leave tank hunting to other choices. Still not very good, but ~~dont~~ immediately dismiss it just because it can't safely kill a Land Raider.		*'''Fusion Pistol''' - More expensive and shorter ranged, but good against vehicles.

	*'''Haywire Cannon''' - Same as a craftworld cannon, reliable tank popping; probably better off taking these on Skyweavers than on Voidweavers.		*'''Haywire Cannon''' - Same as a craftworld cannon, reliable tank popping; probably better off taking these on Skyweavers than on Voidweavers.

	*'''Solitaire''' - A guy who's been out of the game since the ~~second edition~~ (~~except for~~ that ~~house-rule codex GW released~~), and he's making up for lost time. A WS9, I10, A6, 3++, eternal warrior melee beast that is going to lay the pain on his opponents with his Kiss & Caress. Once per game he can "Blitz~~" which is rolling~~ a number of dice equal to the turn number and moving that distance instead of the 12" he normally gets and does it ''over'' other models and terrain. The boost for doing this is bumping his attacks value to 10 in the following assault phase (basically 12 attacks once you count the charge and the 2CCW bonus). He's ''very'' fragile despite having a 3++ and Eternal Warrior, since he has only T3 and is forced to always go solo; he'll end up getting brought down by a turn of small arms fire if he's ever caught within range of the enemy guns. For some number crunching, even without considering special weapons fire, on average it will only take 6.75 bolter shots at BS4, 12 lasgun shots at BS3, or 7.2 pulse rifle shots at BS3, to knock off each of his wounds. So ''use'' that 12" of movement to keep him away from rapid fire ranges (or better still, completely out of sight) until you need him to tear up a high-value unit in melee.		*'''Solitaire''' - A guy who's been out of the game since the 2nd Edition (not counting the Citadel Journal list, that is), and he's making up for lost time.

	** Normally, the Solitaire lacks a shooting attack, so don't forget the haywire grenades, in case some jammy bastard leaves something with an AV hanging around in range - the look on their face when you ping the last hull point off that Ghost Ark then massacre the whole squad (that they were sure was safe!) will be priceless.		** Normally, the Solitaire lacks a shooting attack, so don't forget the haywire grenades, in case some jammy bastard leaves something with an AV hanging around in range - the look on their face when you ping the last hull point off that Ghost Ark then massacre the whole squad (that they were sure was safe!) will be priceless.
	** The Solitaire has both the Kiss & Caress in melee and as per the May 2016 FAQ, can gain the benefit of both weapons special rules which apply to ''"a model equipped with this weapon"'' therefore he can attack normally with the Caress which auto wounds on AP2 with rolls of a six, while ''also'' rolling one separate attack at S6 AP2 with the Kiss.		** The Solitaire has both the Kiss & Caress in melee and as per the May 2016 FAQ, can gain the benefit of both weapons special rules which apply to ''"a model equipped with this weapon"'' therefore he can attack normally with the Caress which auto wounds on AP2 with rolls of a six, while ''also'' rolling one separate attack at S6 AP2 with the Kiss.

	;Harlequin Troupe		*'''Harlequin Troupe:''' A change up from the 6th Ed Craftworld codex, Harlequins now come in squads of 5-12 and the Troupe Master got a welcome boost of +1 WS, W, & I, turning him into a viable army Warlord in his own right who can take from the relics list' he can also take a power sword, but you're probably better served giving him a kiss or caress to help him chew up 2+ save characters in challenges. Don't forget to take along Haywire Grenades - first time you have to deal with a Ghost Ark or a Land Raider, you'll be very glad you did. The rest of the unit is customisable as you would like, with any model being able to take any harlequin item combination. Like most units with the capability, beware the temptation to give everyone in the unit a special weapon of some sort, as they die in droves the moment any competent unit with guns look at them. At least 1 generic clown per special weapon is recommended; remember, you want to cripple your opponent and win combat, but not by too much, or you'll be left exactly how a clown doesn't want to be found, with your pants down jerking off in the middle of a crowd. Stick your turn, hit and run out opponent's turn. That is how you stay alive. Flip belts and plasma grenades make terrain a non-problem, so stay deep in cover when not actually charging, and make aggressive use of psykic cover enhancement from Shadowseers or allied Spiritseers.

	Also, from the Death Masque set:		Also, from the Death Masque set are '''The Company of the Threefold Stranger''' and '''Death's Companions'''. Two pre-upgraded troupes, with a unique character in each, one with run and shoot and one with run and charge (respectively). Despite being cheaper, both are pretty terrible; the Death's Companions leader, Dusk, is a normal player with 2W (which means he only gets 2A, compared to the 3A of the normal Troupe Master); he's also equipped with the default (and terrible) CCW. The Company of the Threefold Stranger's leader, the Lambent Prince, is a Troupe Master with a Power Sword, Haywire Grenades, and Shuriken Pistol.

	'''Assassin Squad''' - Use means of your choice (Rune o' Battle, Dark Eldar, Intero.) to reduce the ld of the target model to 5 or less, then cast Mirror of minds on it. As there is no way for it to win the roll off, you will do an infinite amount of wounds, assuring the model's destruction. If you can get their Ld to 6, then MoM requires you to roll a 1 to have a chance of failing, with them getting a 6. This could be great against ANY lynch pin model, and is plausible against deathstars as most rely on a key models giving out buffs. GC's, Smashfucker... create the right situation, and most anyone can die to this.
