The Harlequins: Designers’ Notes

April 2007·pp. 24–29

THE SHORT VERSION

Andy Hall speaks to Jes Goodwin and Phil Kelly about reviving the Harlequins after more than fifteen years. Cleaner sculpted surfaces leave painters room for patterns, while elevated poses and paired faces communicate movement and duality. The rules place a flexible but fragile troupe within the Eldar army, using psychic concealment, terrain freedom and repeated assault to preserve a theatrical identity without overshadowing Aspect Warriors.

The Harlequins Return

The editorial introduces the Harlequins as guardians of the memory of the Eldar Fall whose performances and warfare are inseparable. Holo-fields, flip-belts and exceptional training explain their elusive battlefield presence. Alongside these dramatic warriors, Foundation Paints promise a practical change to the hobby: solid basecoats that can speed either mass army painting or more elaborate display work.

Art of the Empire

Warhammer World’s gaming arena begins a programme of exhibitions displaying original paintings and miniatures normally seen only in reproduction. The first show draws on the Empire, followed by Dark Angels imagery and a personal selection from John Blanche. The article links these displays to the previous Nottingham Castle exhibition’s success, making the developing visual history of the hobby accessible alongside its gaming events.

Painting Diamonds

Fine crossing lines establish a regular diamond grid before alternating shapes are filled with flat colours. A small highlight at the top of each diamond gives the pattern definition without requiring an elaborate blend throughout. The illustrated method separates geometry from finishing, making the Harlequins’ signature costume pattern easier to reproduce consistently on curved miniature surfaces.
