The victim of one of Slaanesh's mood swings, the Masque is cursed to eternally dance across the galaxy and draws mortals and unborn alike in to her jig.
As per the previous edition, her major draw back is the lack of independent character status. She can and will get shot to shreds in next to no time should the opposition desire it. So to use her, she needs to be screened until she is in position (12") to use her dance abilities on enemies at which point she wants to charge (along with another nearby unit preferably).
She has 3 different dances that she can use on opponents. These range from -5WS (strong, but not the best), some AP2 hits (not going to do much given S1), and -5BS with no overwatch. This latter one is powerful and can keep (e.g) potent flamer units at bay.
Her final boon is to re-roll her invulnerable saves: this is a solid buff, but it won't stop her from getting slaughtered. Her low toughness and lack of independent character status will bring her down very quickly. I used to use her in the previous edition to drag opponents out of cover, but this is no longer possible. Hence I don't think I'll be using her any longer. This makes me sad, but its kind of inevitable.
