One of their abilities is also identical to an Obsidian Rose stratagem. But better because you obviously don't need to spend the CP.
I for one will gladly run an outrider of their super cool zephyr glaive jetbikes alongside my dark eldar, if for no other reason than its fun. The ability that lets them flee an extra D6 is going to be great for grabbing objectives etc.

Definitely some interesting options. Midnight Sorrow and Veild Path immediately grab me as cool. One let's you in theory bounce your troupes 14" from melee to melee, and that's ignoring charges, and the other is a really awesome way out just flat out negating hits.
I think all the harlequins need now is a strategem, relic or warlord trait to help their actual charges and they'll be a nasty melee force to be reckoned with.
That and a new unit. Their options are pretty low at the moment.

They're not getting any new units, the community team confirmed. I mean realistically, with the whole of Aeldari shenanigans at their disposal in separate detachments, they're not going to be too worried about it I imagine.

P stoked. I have my "corsairs" (read: harlequin rules) infantry about finished up... just need to figure out fins for the 'jet packs/flip belts'. Have been waiting on the codex to figure out actual next steps, but these masques are a great start.

So it appears a portion of the codex has been leaked! imgur.com/a/PzMcEhp#uT5gGwjPretty good point reductions across the board except for the troupe master which got an increase, some cool strategems, and the webway gate seems like it's designed to benefit other Eldar armies rather than the Harlequins themselves. Overall though, very interesting so far!

Am I missing something on that 2nd Webway Gate Strat? "Either you can set up 2 units this turn, or you can set up 1 unit this turn". Since you already get 1, why is the second piece an option?

I get the feeling that the "webway spar" in the first half of that has some specific meaning that changes it. That's just a guess though, won't know until the full codex is out.

I mean I still don't know how useful that is other than to give the webway some utility for MSU armies even if the enemy tries to close in fast. So maybe the strategy is to place it 9"+M away from the enemy so they can't block it turn 1, so you can either bring out a big unit to rapid fire splinter rifles and fuck shit up, or a MSU unit of like shredderborn or something if they're too close. Idk I think this thing might just be pretty terrain and not actually taken in army lists.

I think everyone is missing the stra. That's mean for the solitaire. Granted not the most op option, but I like to imagine them as missiles now.
