Well, might as well toss myself in.
While I dont have a standing Harlie army yet (still finishing my DE) they are next on my list. I already have plans on how to convert them and have tested them in both the WD codex and EO codex.
Funny I'm going through the same thing, but probably in bigger scales : (
But I'm not going to wait to have all my DE painted to start doing harlies, fi I can I plan on doing some of my harlies this year, I'm pretty sure they'll be in the new DE dex :p, evne if they aren't they'll be great apco allies.
Hi I'm Kharandhil, I've been officially collecting harlequins since about 2 years.
I love all Eldar, that's why I do every possible eldar army I can.
I started doing eldar around 96-97, then immediately started doign dark eldar when they came out. I always wanted to do harlequins, I knew the models existed, but didn't knwo how to get them, untill I discovered ebay and when I had enough money I slowly started buying all harly models.
Right now I have almost all harly models(just missing 2), which I'll get some day for sure on ebay. I also have a harly dreadnaught. I have doubles, even triples for some of the models, like death jesters, etc...
Since I play both eldar armies I figured they would be very nice allies, I get to use them in apoc, though they're unpainted : (
Reason why I don't paint them is because I'm too busy with my Dark Eldar, and I'm a perfectionist , my harlies will be top quality, the only harly I have painted got me the third place at my local GW painting competition.
I havn't play harlies much, I have tried the old codex from 2000, but I don't do any battles with them anymore. They're not painted, and I mainly have infantry, I could make a full army, but now I just have the models because they're so cool and it would be cool to see a huge harlequin core within my eldar or dark eldar apoc army. (both those armies are clearly apoc size)
I have around 2500 pts in harlies.
If they ever get an official GW codex I'll start expanding to have a real army, else I'll get see my harlies as a huge battleforce for apoc.
I can make around 7 squad (eldar harlequin squads from codex)
Each wth leader, death jester, etc...
If GW ever releases an exodite codex or any other eldar codex, I'll start it for sure. If GW gets into harlies more deeply once again, I'll follow! For now I just lay low with my considerable large harly force.
