I think they killed just some goldarmored gurdsmann and dident know the difference.
My theory is Jaghatai was recruited by the twisted path and now works with Cegorach. We know the laughing god was responsible for Fulgrim and The Khan switching places, and that Jaghatai was lured into the webway before he disappeared. Imagine the power of a Harlequin trained and armed primarch.

I wish there were more Harlequin novels. A friend ran a game of Black Crusade where we played as Eldar instead of Chaos and I played a Harlequin of the Masque of the Frozen Stars. Mostly because they're paint scheme largely doesn't involve the diamond motley. Still so much fun to play and have loved the Harlequins since. I know people are disgruntled that a novelisation had them butcher Custodes but if I genuinely had to think of a faction where its members should be able to go toe to toe with Custodes it would be the Harlequins.

Novels, models, lore, the harlequins are in dire need of more in general. It's hard though, as being a bit of an enigma is part of the whole appeal, but come on it's just depressing at this point.

To be honest, of all the roles one could live in the 40k universe: the Harlequins seem the most appealing to me. Life in the webway also seems strangely cozy. Like when you are comfy and relatively secure indoors as a thunder(warp)storm rages outside. *_Honks for the honk god!_*

@@christmasham4312 it's part of a triology and if you can get it in an Audio book format, it's even more entertaining. The voices the characters have are joker esque and the scenic audio is amazing. The only down side to the stories is that they are short (Roughly 1-2 hours each) and in audio format all stories tend to cost the same, So you will be paying the same price for a 1 hr book vs a 6-12 hour book.

The webway is sentient? You should do a deep dive on the webway itself, I’m sure it’s got all kinds of hidden history.
Your pronunciation of masque and gist is absolutely wild 😅
I was wondering what people think if Majorkill did more stuffs like making his own successor chapters, painting, gaming like space marine/boltgun, hell even just a total vibe video of majokill doing whatever? I am here for Majorkill’s personality and I’m not saying there needs to be a change but it would be awesome to have some more stuff in between big lore drops from GW etc.

I dont get how the hell you have the patience to make these extremely good yet meticulously researched videos
Imagine how surprised necrons attacked by harlequins must be. They fought the Old ones and eldar, went to slumber for 60 million years. And then face their old enemies eldar except they are clowns now. It would seem like eldar decided to humiliate their nemeses by clamping them with an army of clowns.
Only Orks and Harlequins have any fun
4:40 The Masque of the Frozen Stars seems to have made some quality pranks
Love the video but could you make your own personal Homebrew space Marine chapter based on your intro character?
That piano at the end almost drowned you out bro
Hell yeah, Harlequin time!
5:46 I don't see how the Masks of the Reapers Mirth are effective against the Tyranid. Masks: *Leaves field of torn up Tyranid corpses.* Tyranid: *nom nom nom* Masks: ....
I admit, I am kind of amused by the idea that the leader of the Masque of the Reapers Mirth is genuiely a normal dude in command of a horde of extremely effective and strategic fucking murder hobos that is genuiely shocked that they somehow manage to perform ever greater feats of slaughter.

Its odd to me that harlequin's are one of my favorite factions in 40k. I just love their aesthetic even though I'm usually not a fan of elves of any sort but they're just so cool in terms of them sort of but not really being doomed and appearing to do seemingly random things before disappearing again sometimes helping sometimes not. Very interesting take on a "grey" faction who are not really an ally or an enemy to anyone with the exception of Slaanesh, who they play in a play which is intriguing all on its own
