They're not my cup of tea, but I think they look fine. I'm surprised that they don't look that different from the ones 20-odd years ago though ... a bit more dynamism I guess.

As someone who's not all that into 40K, I do kind of like the new plastic harlies. Granted, they're a tad pricey and someone of the poses are a bit silly-looking and I didn't mind the previous ones, but they're still pretty okay. Also, I kind of want to turn that solitare into a wizard somehow...

Its probably this and being old.

Don't get me wrong they are nice sculpts but I just don't "feel" them as such.

Ah well they definitely rate over recent skaven releases anyway.

The trooper on the right has a weapon that looks suspiciously like a neuro disruptor. I approve.

Their blurb on the website mentions the box including a pair of neuro disruptors. I think we all agree that this is a pretty decent release from GW, where they don't appear to muck up the fluff for one.

They look alright, but... Four. Quid. Each.

Practically a bargain by recent GW standards!

Akshulee I think it's a mark up from their £3.50 witch elves, but were there any £3.50+ plastic minis in between? Some of the orks, IIRC...?

Awesome idea.

I just read an article that started GW are publishing some of the old hard back any books in paperback for a reduced price. Now the book in question was the tomb kings book. The new reduced price is essential what they sell their paperbacks at anyway. Despite the rhetoric, isn't it all but assured now that the tomb kings will be gone in the new incarnation of warhammer?
Good news if you want to start a new army with a limited in store presence though. After they go, there will be lots of people ditching their old toys for new

I think the new harlequins look fantastic!

I agree. An excellent set of figures, lots of options and very reflective of the fluff. Ridiculously priced though. $8 (USD) for an infantry figure?!?!

Also, does anyone know how many Harlequins an average sized unit will contain in the game? I'm curious to see if this is one of those boxes that meets (or doesn't meet) the minimum size for a unit but you have to buy a second box to make it a useful unit in the game. Like the Dire Avengers for instance.

The minimum unit size is 5, and you can add up to 7 more per unit.

I dont know what you are all complaining about.

£4 each....no-one has noticed the free rock that comes with evry Harlequin to balance on.
It must say somewhere in the rules that Harlequins must spring from rock to rock without touching the ground.
AND just think of the possibilities of what you can do with all that excess plastic sprue once you have made up your Harlies.

It's the lava and fire ants rule.
Touch the ground and they are out.
I guess they decided not to write rules we've all been playing since primary school

They won't write them until they can be sure of the IP, then watch out, you won't be worrying about avoiding the pavement cracks, you will be busy avoiding all the cease/desist letters instead.

STill nice they are, stupid price, even if you include the 'free sprue' material for your bits box, and the excellent detail on the rocky bits to balance on.

Quote from: Kitsune on February 05, 2015, 10:05:40 AM

The minimum unit size is 5, and you can add up to 7 more per unit.

So the rules would allow up to two boxes (6 per box - as they print in big letters on the box) and the special character gizza for a full set of 13 ?

I just don't feel drawn to actually be worried about owning them. A well.

Ah well plenty of lead left in me mountain yet
