@@akumaking1 You're thinking of some old lore about the Dark Eldar and the High Lords of Terra would NEVER 'officially' allow the Dark Eldar on Terra.

I think the lore was the Mechanicus hired the dark eldar to fix it

I did not know the Harlequins were allowed to travel freely. That’s very I retesting honestly!

Yes, every time the Harlequins go to war its hope for humanity but the Imperium will remain extremely xenophobic regardless of what they have witnessed within the Galaxy. The Harlequins would have had to approach the High Lords and won them over by their amazing levels of charisma and comedic attributes. They made friends with the high Lords via Harlequin levels of humor.

@@VallornDeathblade doubt they would allow them anything but the end of a bolter

Their needs to be a book on a Solitaire for my daily depresso

Shy even corrected him on it but he didn’t listen.

Solitaire: **Plays Slaanesh** Slaanesh: and I took that personally

Honestly i wanna see one just enjoying the moment enjoying the life they have instead what will happen to them, really terrify every eldar around them.

@@robberyproductions1363 well tobe fair slaanesh would be that egotistical

So a Stand? That's just a [stand] !

@@Ian.420 well the reason I used the shadow as a example is because I remembered a story with Harlequins ambushing Imperial Guards in a bunker and them seeming to just come through the shadows like portals.

I imagine the harlinquins running around looking for miguffins, but failing on porpuse and letting sleneesh collect them all instead, and then what ever was going to happen happens right next to him/her/it saving the eldar and screwing over slaneesh

@@MPHJackson7 fairly large amount of the trolling art

Ha got em!

also forgot to mention when harlequins broke into the imperial palace

@@anotheralpharius2056 Well, the writing on that was so dipshit that most people disregard it out of principle.

@@benjaminhartsock3281 i dont get why people are angery about them cutting into custodes armor. Send me a source if im wrong but everything ive come up with says its basically just cerimite with a fancy color. It might be a bit stronger but by how much is never really stated or shown well. Plus its 40k, the armors only as good as the plot demands, so well never know except for averaging out what we have. Which shows the eldar could probably do it since they cut through normal cerimite regularly.

@@Shadow-gc6le It's Auramite, which is about 3x as good as ceramite. That's not the reason people are pissed however. It's because they take on several dozen custodes, sometime killing them with single cuts. Just a bunch of harlequinns, not even a Solitaire. Custodes have survived having power swords go through the bottom half of their head, have survived bolter rounds to the head while unarmored, even a "basic" custodes can kill several space marines, while veteran custodes can delay and duel primarchs and demons. It's not just the armor people are angry about.

@@benjaminhartsock3281 Yeah, it's like if I were to write a story where a bunch of sisters of battle went to the black library and slaughtered a dozen solitaires like it wasn't a big deal.

I mean... It gave me a chuckle just thinking about it!

He might be me

That shit IS funny. Ironic deaths are one of the funniest forms of comedy, just right up there with tragic irony in my book

That's why i love them

The only creatures in the universe who can understand a harlequin sense of humour would be an ork. But for entirely the wrong reason. The ork wouldn't see any Artistry in the act. They would find amusement by the sheer results. Also they would probably applaud and ask for an encore... if they knew what Encore meant

But then the Librarians had to escort him out due to closing times.

I'm fairly certain there was never a library card and Chegorack was just trolling him, but I could well be wrong

OH, that would be good! I’d also wager that the emperor and tzeench are in on this and aim to swoop in and kill slaaanesh after!

It’s why cegorach can’t stop laughing. He’s got the biggest joke planned, and he can barely contain himself

that is a possibility ngl.

the final act is probably gonna involve an alliance or at least truce between the galaxy's factions, so that they can go against the tyrannids. as has been said many times, the chaos gods can't survive without eldar or humans to feed them, not to mention that tyrannids have enough of a presence in the warp where a "small" detatchment from the recon fleets can bar psykers. imgagine how big of a phychic presence the actual hivemind of the main force has. that shit would stomp on the gods, which then in combination to no humans to feed on, chaos would probably be eaten up as well.

You are almost entirely correct, but you kind of slightly twist the message of their appearance and what it means. It is a holiday when one shows up and it's time for the play known as "The Fall." .....but it's most certainly not a time of celebration or positivity. It's a time of mourning, sorrow, and reflecting on past mistakes. When a Solitaire appears, they're not so much welcomed, as they are seen as their appearance being one of necessity. An important lesson that Eldar must never forget. So, while I would say there is SOME reverence there, in that there is respect towards the being that chooses to play Slaanesh. An unbelievably courageous, and NECESSARY role.....I wouldn't exactly say Eldar view them equally with fear and respect. I think the fear far outweighs the other. And I've never heard of them living amongst other Eldar. I always heard they keep to themselves, and stay far away from others, as to avoid the "bad luck" and curse associated with being near them. Is there a novel that discusses them living normally amongst the masses of other Eldar?

@@Aizen2468 I don't remember quite where I read it, but it's a short passage that mentions that, the solitaire was passing as a conduit repairman for years before the harlequin troupe appeared in the craft world, I don't know if it was just that particular solitaire that did that, or if that's something they all do to pass unaware among their kin, seeing as basically all Eldar are scared to death of them, using a disguise is far from a bad idea, but sadly, I don't remember where the quote is from.

She is a human at PEAK PERFORMANCE.

Stern be fit and fine, yo! I just imagine her starting her own lineage of Sisters who have the power of God and anime on their side.

@@JohnathanJWells I went the old half and Half method for mine, turned out beautiful

So the harlequins trolled painters, is what you're saying.

I mean, there’s still the two lost Primarchs. That's one of the biggest mysteries. And whatever the hell is kept in the dark cells underneath the Imperial Palace.

I’ll tell you some little known harlequin lore hart attacks are the blood angels preferred ways of offing them.

@@noneofyourbusiness2437 I mean they guard the black library, that info is probably in there. The primarchs are definitely made by warp fuckery.

@gwilym1991 Well, yeah, of course the Primarchs were made by warp fuckery. But that does not give any hints as to who the two lost Primarchs are or what they did that was so bad. And a book from the harlequins' perspective would not remove the mystery as a book about them reading books would be extremely boring. So it would be about the harlequin doing something interesting.

@@noneofyourbusiness2437, They are merely 'lost' in the books. Granted we suspect the Khan just skips through them for the images.

It's worth remembering that Slaanesh is the god of Excess not sex, drugs, etc like people often think. Slaanesh is feared by the other gods because she may consume them, the excessive violence of Khorne, the excessive plotting Tzeentch, the excessive disease and sloth Nurgle. Excess, on all it's forms, is Slaanesh domain. She was not born of depravity, but depravity taken too far into excess. Remember, the Eldar wanted for naught, they were indulgent at the time of the fall. That excess and indulgence was the important part, not the sex, drugs, or violence. Now being excessively violent does double up and empower Khorne with violence and Slaanesh with excess, so multiple gods can be empowered by once... But that only means Slaanesh is getting a piece of everyone's pie. Which is important, as this means there is no reason things can't flow to both Cegorack and Slaanesh both if you take the joke too far. I'll let the implications stand

He sounds like a "mad God" kind of thing, so maybe confusion, trickery and theatrism/theatrics is part of what empowers him.

I just assumed it is also a bit of a trickster god kind of deal, like Loki

They could still have found torture, sex, drugs, and murder funny. Slaanesh isn’t the god of debauchery, they’re the god of excess. Debauchery is perfectly fine if it isn’t excessive.

The God of Shitposts

Imagine a Harlequin being animated as a kaleidoscopic blur. Their face shifting from moment to moment, to unsettle or disturb or frighten other characters. Perspective shifting as they bounce and flip and pirouette across the battlefield, and disrupt the proper flow of gravity to leap over obstacles or run on walls. Let the animators go buck wild with it.

@@Bluecho4 And a Solitaire who is revealed to be Cegorach in disguise close to the end as basically the Escanor of the series.

Aren't they also kind of walking, souless abominations in the eyes of the other eldar because of it?

@@VallornDeathblade nah, they have souls. But it's fully claimed by slaanesh.

@@wanderingursa8184 Sometimes the Laughing God Yoinks their Souls anyway, because why not?

The harlequin performances tend to be rather involved. So yes, the Solitaire is very attuned to Slaanesh. In a short fiction piece in Purge the Unclean (the Dark Heresy RPG supplement) an interrogator liaised with some eldar and got to watch a rare harlequin play about the identity of a hidden threat his order was investigating. At the end of the play, the harlequin who played one of the roles lay dead and the identity of the hidden baddie was burned into the memory of all observers to the point that the interrogator later had to be institutionalized. Now imagine what it's like to play Slaanesh in such plays.

@@VallornDeathblade they basically have ultradepression to the point that other eldar get negatively effected by it psychically.

Solitaires aren't normal Eldar. They are those who the Laughing God snatched the souls of back from Slaanesh. Now they are functionally the same as human blanks. So they can play She Who Thirsts because they have no soul to lose.

Just call slaanesh it

​@@satan1841yeah, this is the route I take. Mainly because Slaanesh is the most schizophrenic in its aspects. It represents so many things and concepts all mashed together that the fact it's a self aware being at all is incredible.

And Kitten the Man-Emperor’s champion, out played the bird squid of chaos.

Slaanesh added the strip poker part otherwise they refused to play

@@thekidkrow yep. they're rolled into craftworld and we know that they'll only have 3 masques instead of 6. they'll still have a benefit for running pure quins apparently kinda like scions for guard, but the number of masques is indicative of how much they'll get from other things like stratagems. sad day for all quin fans except the ones that liked running them with craftworld already.

I see it as a twisted sense of irony and how fucked up the galaxy is. But mostly twisted irony. Death jesters blowing up commanders during a puffed-up speech or making a heavy weapons trooper jerk because a piece of his teammate hit his arm and blow up his own fortification is their chef's kiss shot.

In the beast arises they kill custodes effortlessly.

Welcome to the Book Nook boys! *B A Z I N G A*

Honestly I think Bricky dropped the ball pretty hard on the craftworlds episode. He really didn't understand much outside of thier weaponry. No mention of aspect warriors or craftworld culture or even phoenix lords. If you're looking for good lore on craftworlds look at major kill or lorehammer podcast on audible.

@@PhthaloGreenskin Bro dont watch major kill for anything. Hes the worst loretuber by a mile.

Harlequins should be constantly in motion all over, even when staying still. Eldar do not half-ass things.

seeing harlequins is a lot like having an acid trip only with a much higher chance of killing you.

I know this is an old comment but the description kinda reminds me of those ai made videos where all the faces are shifting weirdly

Considering how much resources it would take to make an animation on that level, we'll probably never see it. Lore accurate harlequin combat is something that would take more effort, time, and money than just a side project streaming service would allow.

I love that theory. I can just imagine Jaghatai coming screaming out of the Webway with some Harlequins at his back.

Wait, is that a thing that happened, or a thing that you want to happen? Because that sounds eeeeepic 😯

@@SlimRhyno Fulgrim was meant to land on Chogoris and the Khan was meant for Chemos. The Laughing god of Harlequins swapped their places to mess with Chaos and also have his own champion against Slaanesh. We were originally meant to get loyal Fulgrim and Daemon Primarch of Slaanesh Khan
