SPECIAL RULES/EQUIPMENT
|
Holo-Suits
|
The holo-suit, Dathedi (Eldar: "Between Colours"), Visual Disrupter Fields, Jigsaw Shield, or Domino Shield, is a form of programmable hologram field, used extensively by Harlequins for both Infantry and vehicles. Every Harlequin is equiped with a holo-suit, which projects costume effects during performance, and has a number of uses during battle. When the wearer is in motion the field breaks up the outline of the figure. To the observer, the Harlequin seems to explode into a cloud of tiny multicoloured fragments every time he moves, and when he remains stationary a Cameleoline emulation program projects Camoflague colours. The total effect is of a blurring cloud of colour, fading to nothing when it stops. Further, the field is capable of damping physical forces and warping the path of light. |
Thus the Holo-suit provides a 5+ Invulnerable save. |
Also the Holo-suit wearer is always counted as in Cover. |
Harlequins' Kiss
|
The Harlequins' Kiss, Brathu-angau (Eldar: "Kiss of Doom"), or Harlequins' Sting, is the Harlequins' trademark. |
Normal to hit and armour saving throws are made, there is no Strength vs. Toughness roll with this weapon. A model which fails its armour saving throw is automatically killed. |
Harlequin Close Assault Weapons
|
Harlequins use many types of specialised weapons for Hand to Hand fighting. Either swords or pistols, but always deadly. |
Strength vs. Toughness roll with these weapons are taken as though the Harlequin had +2 Strength. |
Flip-belts
|
The Flip-belt, Geirgilath (Eldar: "Belt of Speed"), Suspensor Belts, or Inertia Pivots, is a device which allows the wearer to pivot effortlesly about hip level, and permit undeminished use of their spectacular acrobatic abilities even when encumbered with battle gear. |
Thus Flip-belts allow characters or squads that use the Eldar
"Fleet of Foot" rule, to roll two dice and pick the highest for their movement.
Also they allow a Death Jester to 'Move and Fire' with Heavy Weapons. |
Shuriken Shrieker Ammunition
|
Shuriken Shrieker Ammunition, Marsgrech (Eldar: "Screaming Death"), Bio-shuriken, or Gut Blower, is a special ammunition for the Shuriken Cannon. It has earned a terrible reputation among many races for it's spectacular and deadly effects. |
A Shuriken Cannon firing a Shrieker round only fires once.
Roll to-hit, wound & save as normal.
If a wound is caused the effected unit should make an Immediate test for pinning at -1 Leadership.
(See Rulebook page 58, "Incoming" - Barrage Pinning. For rules on pinning.)
