DeathJesters wear armour decorated with the bones of the previous death
jester. Mostly dark colours with the occasional flash of color.

these are painted much the same way as normal harlequins with the exception
of the mask which in combat replays the death throes of some of their last
victims. the shadow seer has a mask of a featureless material such as
silver or glass.

I base my DJ one to a base.(they are pretty major characters in 40k and
operate independently of the other harlequins most of the time.) I shaved
down a dark reaper till he had a skull like head and the missile launcher
looked more like a shuriken cannon.

By the way in 40K the solitaire must be by himself. He can fight with no
squad at all.
