well typically Harlequins are named after their traveling troupe, or Masque.

Masque names are usually very poetic sounding and almost always symbolic.

As i mainly use Harlequins as allies in a CWE list, i havent had a need for naming a masque - but im sure Rasmus and the other 'true' Harle Players have plenty of examples.

Think of how your Harlequin army ("Masque") is built, and functions, then remake the name and add it to "Masque of".
   Masque of Eternal sorrow - Mimes and nine DJs along with Wraithlord.
   Masque of Shining Hope - Mimes lead by Shadowseer, backed up by bikes.
   Masque of Feral Hunger - Footslogging character-heavy list I made (Solitaire, GH, SS, Troupers on foot, wraithlord coming up the rear)

Stuff like that anyway...

Lost Roads - finally released!

I thought there were many troupes in a Masque and that the great harlequin controlled the Masque?  So would that make it so your army could be called somthing like this....

Masque of the smiling death
Including....
Troupe of the Silent knife

Troupe of the red Mind

etc. etc.

Or did I completly mix up my fluff?

well, i suppose if you wanted to name each and every squad in your army (i know some people do, myself included) then that might work.

a Masque is not only a harlequin battle group, but also a harlequin group of actors/actresses.

Right that is what I thought.  You shouild also name your GT. Harlequin.  It helps when coming up with the name of your masques.
