Introducing the Void-Dancer Troupe! This 8-model Harlequin kill team is a fast, fragile, and highly mobile force that excels in melee. Their unique Saedath rule lets you choose between Epic (melee-focused) or Melodrama (shooting-focused) allegories, granting Balanced weapons to key operatives. With 7" Move, 4+ Save, and low wounds, they rely on speed and tricks like Rising Crescendo (Dash after Charge) and Prismatic Blur (defensive re-rolls) to outmaneuver foes. Their Panoply rule reduces enemy Piercing and enhances climbing, while operatives like the Death Jester and Shadowseer add ranged support and psychic tricks. Get ready for a dance of death!
