Death Jesters are the heavy specialists of the Harlequin army, able to carry a variety of exotic and deadly armaments. However, Death Jesters are just as skilled in combat as any Harlequin, and many a foe has charged into combat with a Death Jester and been cut down for their ignorance. When the Harlequins stage a performance, Death Jesters take the part of Death, and are noted by other Eldar for their ironic, some would say downright morbid, sense of humour.

Number: You may include between 1 and 3 Death Jesters for each Elites choice allowed by the Force Organisation chart.

Weapons: Shrieker cannon and power blades.

Options: A Death Jester may exchange their Shrieker Cannon for one of the following: Shuriken cannon at +5 points; Eldar missile launcher at +15 pts; Brightlance at +10 pts.

A Death Jester may be given additional wargear (not weapons) from the Harlequins armoury.

Independent Character: Each Death Jester is an independent character and follows all the special rules for independent characters given in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. Note that all Death Jesters from the same choice on the Force Organisation chart must be deployed at the same time, however they may be deployed separately on the battlefield.
