Codex: Harlequins Collector’s Edition: $80

Codex Harlequins Collectors

Available while stocks last, this Collector’s Edition of Codex: Harlequins is complete and unabridged, and features a soft touch cover with new artwork on the front and back, black page edges, a black ribbon marker and the original Codex cover art on the first page.

Swift beyond belief and impossibly agile, Harlequins flow through battle like silk streamers in a hurricane. As they close with the foe, the Players are in constant motion, a riot of prismatic colour that dazzles the senses. The oncoming Harlequins sprint, leap and weave, the blades and blasts of their terrified enemy whistling around them to little effect. To the untrained eye, the onset of a Harlequin masque is a riotous confusion of sound, colour and violence that to the refined Aeldari senses reveals clear patterns. Every moment is orchestrated, every Player knows implicitly how and when their comrades will strike. This is war made art and art made war, battle fought with perfect rhythm and meaning, and it is as lethal as it is spectacular.

Codex: Harlequins contains a wealth of background and rules – the definitive book for Harlequins collectors. Within this 80-page hardback, you’ll find:

– A history of the Harlequins, covering the tragic fall of the Aeldari and the Harlequins’ worship of Cegorach, a trickster god who escaped the fate of the other gods – thus protecting his worshippers from the terrible predations of Slaanesh;
– Weapons of the Lethal Art: an array of elegant, deadly weapons and wargear employed by the Harlequins;
– The Great Stage: a galactic map featuring the locations of Craftworlds, webway gates, Exodite worlds and certain planets of interest to the Harlequins – Imperial and Necron;
– The Black Library: a description of this fabled realm within the webway, containing the sum total of Aeldari knowledge, which the Harlequins protect;
– Harlequin Masques: the structure and organisation of a Masque, an army and company of players both, the collectives by which Harlequins wage war, including examples of numerical runes and Troupe markings;
– Descriptions of 10 Masques and their iconic runes – The Midnight Sorrow, The Veiled Path, The Frozen Stars, The Dreaming Shadow, The Soaring Spite, The Silent Shroud, The Dance Without End, The Twisted Path, The Shattered Mirage, and The Reaper’s Mirth;
– The Dance of Ages: a timeline of major events and battles in the history of the Harlequins, from the Fall to the present times;
– Background on each unit available to a Harlequins army;
– A showcase of beautifully painted Citadel miniatures, with example armies featuring everything from individual images of models to battle scenes on terrain.

Webway Gate: $40

Webway Gate

A galactic tapestry of shimmering strands used by the Aeldari to traverse the stars without risking the dread realm of the warp, the webway once spanned the galaxy, even stretching out into the empty void beyond. These days are long gone. Ravaged by war and catastrophe, many of its tunnels have been torn open or amputated, and a great number of its entrances have been sealed. Despite the degradation, the Aeldari still rely upon the webway for swift travel, using webway gates to enable this.

This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble a Webway Gate. Comprising 2 sections, this is a large wraithbone arch, tall enough for even a wraithknight to walk beneath! Each half of the Gate features a plinth with an Aeldari statue, presented as familiar helmeted and crested forms. Each of the wraithbone segments that make up the arch features a spirit stone set within, with 2 more spirit stones on each half at the top, which arcs away to a point.

This scenery piece comes with rules that allow any unit with the Aeldari faction keyword– Craftworlds, Drukhari, Ynnari or Harlequins – to use it in games of Warhammer 40,000.

Shimmering Arrival: $120

Shimmering Arrival

Pick up 3 tremendous Aeldari scenery pieces for use in games of Warhammer 40,000 – not only will they make your gaming table look great, they serve a practical purpose with rules that any Aeldari model can leverage. Included:

– 3 Aeldari Webway Gates: comprising 2 sections, these are large wraithbone arches, tall enough for even a wraithknight to walk beneath! Each half of the Gate features a plinth with an Aeldari statue, presented as familiar helmeted and crested forms. Each of the wraithbone segments that make up the arch features a spirit stone set within, with 2 more spirit stones on each half at the top, which arcs away to a point.

These kits come complete with rules allowing any unit with the Aeldari faction keyword – Craftworlds, Ynnari, Drukhari or Harlequins – to use them in games of Warhammer 40,000.

Aeldari Xenoscape Scenery Collection: $445

Aeldari Xenoscape Scenery Collection

Collect together a whole load of bizarre, alien scenery with which to decorate your gaming table and recreate the kind of strange landscapes the Aeldari may fight upon in the grim darkness of the far future. Included:

– 2 Aeldari Webway Gates: comprising 2 sections, these are large wraithbone arches, tall enough for even a wraithknight to walk beneath! Each half of the Gate features a plinth with an Aeldari statue, presented as familiar helmeted and crested forms. Each of the wraithbone segments that make up the arch features a spirit stone set within, with 2 more spirit stones on each half at the top, which arcs away to a point.
– 2 sets of Eldritch Ruins: a total of 4 overgrown and deadly scenery pieces representative of fearful deathworlds. Covered in symbols and entwined with malevolent deathworld flora, they’ll give your gaming table an extra-arcane look;
– 3 sets of Barbed Venomgorse: 9 tree trunks with 9 sets of different flora to be attached, making up 3 sets of 3 different distinct pieces;
