Aha! Mat Ward is the leak! You know what to do, GW.

Have you just emerged from a coma or something?
But seriously, that's GW M.O. these days. They literally try to keep everything under complete wraps until practically the day it is ready to be pre-ordered.
I wonder if sales are rising or falling since GW tell their fans to "take a flying tyrant off" everytime we want a preview of future relases so we know what to save up for. Dark Eldar were awesome the way they did it, but it would be nice to know how much different my old half of the army will look from the new releases. Look at the original pewter Necrons compared to the current ones. Its a big difference.

I moved so starting from scratch. These were the armies I had, rebuilding my Chaos.

I seriously hate the fluff in the necron book, more than anything Mat Ward has written.
"Hey, this brand new army that we're making up here? THEY DID EVERYTHING! Yeah, that's it... machine god, grim reaper, hive mind..." /nerdragevomit
To be fair, the hive mind/outsider thing is just Necron players finding that obscure little message and running it into the ground. Thinking about just timelines of when the War in Heaven happened, when the Ousider would have 'become' the Hive Mind, and the stupendous time it would take the Tyranids to cross just to our galaxy, let alone between dozen as it says in the rulebook, the timelines don't match. not to mention C'tan not doing the psychic thing, and the hive mind being a psychic entity. It's a fanboy theory which falls apart as soon as you actually think about it.

Manchu wrote:BrassScorpion ... are you talking to yourself?
No, he is trying to belittle the rumours posted by the site owner. Bad idea
No he's doing what he usually does in these threads:
1. News reported. 2. No more news (because it's been reported already - DUH!) 3. People discuss news. 4. BrassScorpion is disgusted that we're discussing news rather than reporting news. 5. BrassScorpion tells everyone to stop posting. 6. I begin to wonder why he cares and why he's reading the thread if the thought of discussing the news is so abhorrent to him.

GW would do that? My mind has officially been blown.
I have to so tho, that the army that won was really nice.
CthuluIsSpy wrote:Well, considering the recent trend of giving everyone a flyer, we might as well see something from BFG.
I do recall reading in the current codex in the fluff section a battle report, where the writer reported seeing a Necron flyer which had a weapon of sorts that was able to core a land raider from the side, with the beam exiting the other side as well. Perhaps we might see that should GW give us tinheads a flyer. It's on pg. 55, I believe.
I think that might actually be an account of a Heavy Destroyer. I could be wrong, but that's what I always remembered it as.
Page 55, just a regular destroyer.
I always thought of that as an example of Gauss weaponry's general power against armor. I mean, back then, a regular Destroyer could destroy a Land Raider. So could a single Warrior for that matter...I wouldn't read too much into it.

"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now." - Magnus the Red, to a statue of Leman Russ
I'm trying to figure out their source. Don't see anything on the GW site, but that's the fist place I checked as they put gw.com on the picture like 5 times.
As far as the look, I reaaaally like it. I know it won't be for everyone, but I love the two operators in the front : P Just my opinion though, I'm sure lots of people will hate it, which is cool too! <3

Judging from the quality of the picture, it looks like a cell camera pic or a scan. Maybe it came from the next WD?

Quite Possibly! It looks legit to me, but I'm not good on those kind of things.

Most likely it was fed to them by someone at corporate.
I think the model is fine.
Also: getting Neurons out is a benefit to the actual Neuron players and has the added bonus that the usual suspects will soon need a new topic and talking points to get their GW rage on about.
