Eldar Harlequins
Troupe of Dark
Each of my three Harlequin troupes comprises a full roster of twelve players, armed with a variety of weapons. The majority of the models have been converted in some fashion and I have combined parts from the current plastic kit and older metal models to produce a greater variety of poses.Date: 2008 - present (work-in-progress)
Components: Metal Harlequins, plastic Harlequins, Howling Banshee sword, Green Stuff, Dire Avenger scenery element, cork, Wraithlord scenery element, brass rod
