Codex Harlequins Fluff Free Having published my last one with a shed load of mistakes it I hope this one is a bit better. This codex is about the game. I hope it works as a codex list as well as captures that early Harlequin Army ferocity that has sadly left it of recent years. GW has done a good job on the fluff, as have the many other fans, so rather than repeat I have chosen to concentrate on the list. Cheers Krom‟ Lek (AKA the Snot-Goblin) With thanks to: (And if you like fluff also check them out) Citadel Journal 39 and 44 GW „official‟ codex published 2000 www.rasmushome.com http://www.nso-mod.com/files/Codex-Harlequins.pdf GW 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Edition Codex Eldar Bill Napier‟s website Harlequin‟s dance website www.kalland.net The guys who let me know about my mistakes in the last one (that‟ll teach me to be a cocky know it all!)
