You also need to remember these aren't just normal warriors or even normal Eldar, thery're Harliquins. Some are taking it into account that the harliquins is aiming straight at the chest where some of the strongest armour is. Harliquins are super quick and sneaky they would go for the weakest armour or where there is no armour. Groups of harliquins are known to be able to take down greater daemons. Also the harliquins kiss is meant to take on necrons and has been for many years before the imperium. Now I do reailise that a primarch is tougher then anything else around but you taking about releasing a razor sharp 100m wire that cuttes and slashes flesh to pieces. I don't think it would kill a primarch but it would fatelly wound him and if it went through a primarch head it would certinally kill him imo.

Woah, sauce on this? I'd have thought it'd be *least* useful against Necrons, being as they have no flesh and necrodermis/living metal is pretty insane as a material.

Which is what I would have thought except in all the fluff harliquins guard the webway and have sent armies of their own sent against necrons to stop them reaching the black library. They do use the harliquins kiss against them. It's supposely able to tear through metal, flesh and bone. If it was ineffective they wouldnt use them.

Do you have a source that says the Harlequins specifically use their Harlie Kiss weapons against the necrons? Or that they were made for this purpose?

Because if not, you're making an assumption.

I probably am making an assumption, i'll have a look around my old books and see what I can find. Does anyone have that old harliquin codex lying around.
