Warhammer 40,000/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

** Actually, the fluff in the rulebook and codex states that both humans and Eldar find the other attractive and they both keep sex slaves of the other.

** Earlier fluff has the Eldar as gaunt, ugly and wierd looking, usually - the later and more recent stuff paints them as almost akin to Tolkien Elves.

* And while we're on the note of the Eldar, the '''Harlequins''' are the folks that even the Dark Eldar don't mess with. They're [[Monster Clown|circus performers in colourful armour]] who put on amazing, psychically-enhanced theatre of the legends and history of the Eldar race, and in battle they have weapons that are [[No Kill Like Overkill|brutal even by the setting's standards]], such as a razor wire that liquifies your insides (called the "Harlequin's Kiss). The weird thing is that as guardians of the Black Library and foes of Chaos, they're relatively ''good guys'' [[Black and Grey Morality|by Warhammer standards]].

** Don't forget their rictus masks and holosuits, which are grotesque, constantly shimmering and in motion, garish and baroque to many extremes. Death Jesters are another example, and in addition to wielding heavy weapons they can load their aptly-named [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Shrieker Cannons]] with viral shuriken ammo that causes enemies to [[Gorn|explode into many pieces]], showering their allies with gore. Oh, and [[Badass|Solitaires]] as well.
