Detachment Rule
Acrobatic Onslaught
Trying to fight the Harlequins of the Laughing God is like battling bladed smoke. They flip and bound through the enemy ranks with contemptuous ease, springing across the heads and shoulders of dumbfounded combatants, sprinting across the hulls of war engines, all the while bearing down with murderous intent upon their true intended victims.
Each time a Harlequins model from your army makes a Charge move, it can move through enemy models.
