Death Jester

The Death Jesters are special even among the Harlequins. They alone play the part of Death in their "Masques" or performances. They are often dark in visage and in their humor.

In battle, the Death Jesters are the heavy weapon specialists of the Harlequin Troupes. They are armed with a specialized Shuriken Cannon called a Shrieker Cannon which fires shuriken impregnated with virulent genetic toxins that cause the victim to explode and horrify their surviving comrades. This special ammunition also makes a shrieking sound when fired thus inspiring more fear in its targets. (In game terms: Pinning)

For the warrior dancers of the Harlequins, there is no distinction between art and war. Followers of the cunning deity known as the Laughing God, they are the strangest and most inscrutable of all the Eldar. The Harlequins are not tied to any particular Craftworld but wander from world to world through the interspatial tunnels of the Webway, performing the mythic cycles of the Eldar as they go. Their mastery of the physical arts twinned with their incredible speed makes the Harlequins the deadliest fighters of their race. Every moment is a performance, and they perform their legendary masques with puissant skill, flair and passion — their hallmark upon the field of battle.
