Agreed. Shin should have new comp soon so we'll chat on MSN. Standby..

Inquiry to all learned Harlequins experts: geodav is asking what kind of weapon load outs does a Harlequins' WraithLord (not the SpiritWalker which Catwell is doing) has? I have both Harlequins' Codecs in PDF and it doesn't mention the Harlie's WL. I assume its the same as the normal Eldar variant. True? Remember, we're using the new WL as you saw (one with the large sabre).

[geodav]

can we just clear things up, should i name this the WraithLord or SpiritLord or are they both the same
I'd say
WraithLord = Craftworld
SpiritLord = Harliquins

[thudo]

Its the WL for the Harlequins.. Catwell is working on the Spirit Walker which is something new. What you are doing, Geodav, is equally as important.

[geodav]

no probs Thud WL it is then, just been setting a few of the markers hopefully adding the starcannon + brightlance tomorrow

hang on, are we quite literally just giving the harlequins a wratihlord? I don't agree with that at all since the Harlequins don't actually use spirit stones so wouldn't have wraithlords

Spirit Walker is a different thing because we can creat a background for that (which i already have done)

Check the Harlequin's wiki:

Excerpt:

Due to the constraints of the Webway, the Harlequins maintain few vehicles. They do, however, often field jetbikes (fast, motorcycle-like vehicles which hover just above the ground rather than ride wheels) and a type of lightly armored, hover transport called a Venom. There have also been reports of Harlequins fielding large walking vehicles virtually identical to the "Wraithlords" of the Craftworlds; unlike normal Wraithlords, these walkers bear protective holo-fields and frequently wield unusual weapon systems.

[GMB]

Yes, they are virtually identical to wraithlords, but they are not wraithlords. They are identical only in appearence - the Harlequins can't actually use wraithlords since they don't use Spirit Stones, which is why they are called Spirit Walkers

Different to wraithlords, and if you want some background for them i have some written on my other PC

[thudo]

K.. so they appear to be WraithLords but are actually "Mini Spirit Walkers" that don't operate with Spirit Stones. Works for me...

[GMB]

no you're missing the point...

they are by no means mini. Spirit Walkers are Wraithlords that are not operated by spirit stones, effectively the same thing but just not with a spirit stone

[thudo]

Thats fine, GMB. Be prepared to be pleasantly shocked VERY soon.

Also more info on WLs in Harlequin Armies -- HERE is an interesting read.
