That follows some of the rumours but I do not know something doesn't sit right for me, not sure what.

If the Necrons are released in August then expect the Necron Pre-Orders up on the website on Sat 30th July, and the actual release date one week later on Sat 6th August.

This is how the new releases will work going forward AFTER the release of Storm of Magic.

On the last Saturday of the month Pre-Orders will go up on the website for the next release, followed 1 week later by the actual release (duh!)

On a personal note, I hope the Crons are out soon. I've already decided they have won 40K X-Factor and are signing a contract to be my next army

Very nearly bought a box of warriors yesterday, ended up with a Succubus, Beastmaster and beasts instead

WE POOWWWNNN!! we have the %^*£+%£¨° Reconstrution rule! xD and the firstborn rule must be something nice as well! Damn if my necrons had feelings they would probably smile to see stuff like this! and I like the very destructive sounding names haha

I believe that page to be true, because Necroshell sounds a lot like blood-talon.

It follows the nid codex's armour type convention.

Reinforced chitin, armoured shell, etc .

Not sure that I believe, but it feels about right (goofy names, layout).

*shrug* we'll see...

I'm a bit dyslexic so I totally read their dedicated transport as a war BAR-B-Q... lol.
I could totally see them cruising in on a open top grill.

Armed with twin-linked heat-rays and a briquette thrower

Conversions ahoy

This just doesn' cut it for me..

Well I think I'll wait to put my last battleboxes together.. might do some magnetizing when they finally come out..

Does that mean that if you replace one, you replace them all?

Yes, according to the wording in that file all the warriors/immortals in the unit would have to have the same weapons.

Thanks for the clarification. I hope that this is true. Depending on how the new WWB works, it might be an interesting to see if people take several small units to get a large variety of weapons, or if they take larger units.

Once again, I bring up unit size. 5-20 for warriors and 5-15 for immortals... With the cost per unit going down, I'm surprised that GW isn't upping the Warriors to 15-30.

Newbbie Question: How common is the 'here's the cost for a unit of 5' and then 'here's the cost for each additional'? Does that appear in other codices?

I think I found the 1 man lord transport they were talking about.

Hmmmm, not 100% sure about that leaked page.

Immortal being 15 points more expensive and the only difference between them an Warriors being a +3 save and some other options.........

Saying that it looks pretty authentic. Would be cool if we coudl get someinfo about what the weaposn actually are/do etc.

I am happy to be proved wrong so i will assume this is viable until proved otherwise.

It's used in Ward's other codices.

Which ones? Out of interest because I have not seen it before.

Ummm for 5 points more a model, you get a better Armor save, (probably) better gun, and (probably) better WBB. Not to mention that Immortals also are getting a squad wide piece of wargear(Chronometerons) which if anything like the current piece of Lord Wargear, will be very desirable for the 'dex.

i guess it depends on what the Firstborn rule does.

i do liek the thought of having options in the units though.

Come peeps a peek for work blocked please!!!

I had to look at it on my phone. Damn work internet police again.





EDIT:
DL'd to phone, emailed to work, posted to Dakka Gallery. YAY!!!

Here's the link in the Praxiss's gallery.




Hope that shows up for you. It's not showing up for me at work. Then again, all the gallery images are blocked for me :-(

Reinforced necroshell and fortified necroshell? Sounds a little.... beige sounding names if this turnes out to be true. I'm guessing it's a photoshop issue based on the current rumours.

Yeah, well as no-one else seems to have really said it yet, I'm calling it a fake.

Personally I don't think that's the real deal, it's format appears to be an attempt to emmulate GW's rather than being actual GW. Also, how would they get so clean a copy that appears to come straight from a computer rather than being a photograph/scan/copy/whatever. I don't think even GW would create a 'Gamma ray projector'.

So yes, whether or not I turn out to be right, I'm thinking it's a fake.

From the early rumors, one of those rules is giving the Immortals WBB even when the whole squad is wiped out. Which I guess could be the first born rule, the Fortified Necroshell sounds like the Immortals role for WBB on a 4+ and the reinforced Necroshell of the Warriors could be a 5+ WBB. I could see this making sense for all units having a WBB roll the more non-necron units could be rolling on a 6 only, for Scarab Swarms maybe.

Apparently a Barque (see the dedicated trasnport option) is a kind of sail boat with at least 3 masts and square sails.

I was hoping it woudl be soem sort of chariot.

i really hope they aren't turning necrons into 40k pirates. New Lord option - Gauss cutlass and tri-corn night hat.

They will not turn Necrons into pirates, we already have 40k pirates!

This does match some of the concept drawings that were floating around earlier. Barque does mean a three-masted ship, but before that, it just mean a very small boat. Like the kind that Egyptians used to transport stone down the Nile or corpses up. The boat provided for the Pharaoh to travel into the afterlife was a Barque.
From Wikipedia:


Waiting to see necron oarsmen...

Idk, a Gauss cutlass sounds pretty tempting, and badass. Maybe they can come with a bottle of rum as well?

I was tempted to make some Necron pirates for a killteam.. might have to do it now!
