Cegorach’s Coil

25 pts

This vicious monofilament lariat unspools from its wielder’s gauntlet in a heartbeat, lashing through the foe before retracting as they tumble into bloody chunks.

TROUPE MASTER* model only. Each time the bearer’s unit ends a Charge move, select one enemy unit within Engagement Range of the bearer’s unit, then roll one D6 for each model in the bearer’s unit that is within Engagement Range of that enemy unit: for each 4+, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound (to a maximum of 6 mortal wounds).

Mask of Secrets

15 pts

So terrifying and yet so captivating are the shifting aspects of this Harlequin’s psychoreactive mask that they can hypnotise foes or stop their hearts with fear.

HARLEQUINS* model only. Each time an enemy unit (excluding MONSTERS and VEHICLES) within Engagement Range of the bearer’s unit Falls Back, all models in that enemy unit must take a Desperate Escape test. When doing so, if that enemy unit is Battle‑shocked, subtract 1 from each of those tests.

Murder’s Jest

20 pts

This malevolent shrieker cannon catalyses its victims’ fear impulses into exaggerated bioelectric shocks, forcing them to scare themselves to death.

DEATH JESTER* model only. Each time the bearer makes an attack that targets a unit that is Below Half‑strength, each successful Hit roll scores a Critical Hit.

Mistweave

15 pts

Employing their psychic powers of illusion and obfuscation, this Shadowseer can cause their comrades to vanish from the foe’s perceptions.

Stratagems

eitherPlayer

Staged Death

1 CP

CommandMovementShootingChargeFight

A feigned death and sudden, shocking return are as impactful as dismaying to the foe.

When:

Any phase.

Target:

One HARLEQUINS CHARACTER model from your army that was just destroyed. You can use this Stratagem on that model even though it was just destroyed.

Effect:

At the end of the phase, set your model back up on the battlefield as close as possible to where it was destroyed and not within Engagement Range of any enemy units, with half of its starting number of wounds remaining.

Restrictions:

Each model can only be targeted with this Stratagem once per battle.

Heroes’ Fall

1 CP

Fight

Though they may be slain, this step of the saedath calls on the players to act out the demise of tragic heroes who take their enemies with them to death.

When:

Fight phase, just after an enemy unit has selected its targets.

Target:

One HARLEQUINS unit from your army that was selected as the target of one or more of the attacking unit’s attacks.

Effect:

Until the end of the phase, each time a model in your unit is destroyed, if that model has not fought this phase, roll one D6. On a 4+, do not remove the destroyed model from play; it can fight after the attacking unit has finished making its attacks, and is then removed from play.
