The Trickster: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' has its typical [[Darker and Edgier|pitch black take on it]]. *The Deceiver is a weaker [[Eldritch Abomination]] who is one of the bigger players in the [[Gambit Pileup]] in the setting, and the Laughing God is one of the [[Have You Seen My God?|few surviving gods of the Eldar]], whose followers are the [[Monster Clown|Harlequins]] ([[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|space elf ninja clown acrobat librarians]]). On a smaller scale, there's a direct reference to this archetype in the latest Space Wolves codex, Lukas the Trickster, a [[Almighty Janitor|low-ranking]] [[Space Marine]] who replaced one of his hearts with a [[And I Must Scream|stasis bomb]] that [[Taking You with Me|goes off on his death]].

*** Let this troper emphasize. Ninja. Clown. The fact that it's their defining game mechanic and they get ''saves'' (effectively, armor) on that account only accentuates the hilarity. They're one of the few Eldar units that can charge in the open, comparable to units from other factions whose armor was designed for repairing ships' reactors ''while they're on'', all on account of the fact that anyone who is [[Refuge in Audacity|both a ninja and a clown]] is impossible to hit.
