As this doesn't really fit as a rumour and the Idoneth Deppkin are discussed elsewhere, I'll leave this here for you:

Breaking News: Major Reveals - Warhammer Community

Thoughts:

1. That new knight looks epic. Literally, it looks like an epic Warlord Titan, just a bit curvier. I think it looks brilliant and, with the addition of the Armigers, maybe makes a knight army feasible...

2...which we'll find out soon enough, given the next 3 Codexes. Good to see Harlequins hit and it's also great that the next 3 books cover more niche armies. Even the power armoured variety are niche.

3. Power levels only for the army builder app. Meh.

4. Sounds like they're trying to get them right so that they are worth the wait. Still, exciting that they've finally listened to the fanbase and they're doing something about it. Fingers crossed they're awesome!

Power levels are specifically easy to build an arm with....it's the matched play points that needed an app...

Totally agree. People can make a power level army in their head in a couple of minutes. I think it'll be like their AoS App, which they billed more as a way of cataloging your collection. It's an opportunity missed.

The article did say points is coming later. Just starting with power level.

I'm really excited for codex Harlequins!

That's not blatant, this is blatant: I'm super happy that I'm playing Austria, the greatest nation in all of Diplomacy!

Cheers KS, I missed that line. Too busy looking at the killer turtle riding elves. Good to know that points will be a thing down the line.

Aren’t plastic sisters a sign of the apocalypse, like Half Life 3?  :o

They announced the plastic Sisters a while back though so this would be a rather slow moving apocalypse.

Plastic Sisters are supposedly coming March 2018 according to a recent con appearance by either Chambers or Thorpe.

That new Knight model is festooned with guns!  FESTOOOOOOOOOONED!!!

Honestly, the release I am looking forward to the most in the Harlequin codex.  My clowns are "sitting on a shelf" right now; and by on a shelf I mean they are scattered throughout my various 40k hidey spots.

Here's hoping that the rules for their special weapons get looked at to make them potent in combat once again.
If there is anything that recent politics has taught us, it is that quotes taken out of context can mean what ever you want them to.
Well I always liked the globals...
I knew I had fans!!!

The Knight looks great, but my first thought was about the Knight House Terryn getting a Cease and decist Message from angry Martian machine priest lawyers. Looks great.  ;D
