It's probably not helped by there being little reason to run a lot of infantry.

Well, yeah, that too. But then again, an Overlord with Phaeron and a Res orb in 20 warriors can do some damage.

Well, I think the current codex will be subjected to slight changes taking the sting out of some rules like mss, tesla and whatnot.
I guess this can be accomplished within a week, just be editing the current codex.

I REALLY hope they don't give us the Grey Knight Treatment. I mean, we have so many units that overall need to be re-worked, especially alllllll the terrible units. Otherwise nerfing our powerful units and that's it, will disappoint a lot of people.

Well, how many terrible units does Necrons have?
Flayed Ones.
The Monolith is also not worth it.
But most of the units are useful.

Yes, the Monolith is pretty bad and no one takes it.
Doomsday Ark could use a few tweaks.
Most of the Named characters remain unused.
Trairch Praetorians are outshined in every way by Wraiths, and are more expensive.
Lychguard as supposed be our "Terminator Equivalent", and yet they're extremely expensive and can't have both good damage output AND good defense. One or the other. For more expensive than Terminators....
Tomb Blades have pitiful damage output and are too expensive
Destroyers are very expensive for what they are.
C'Tan Shards are too easily killed and are the same cost if not more than a fully geared Riptide. They also have nowhere near the damage output
Just to name the ones off the top of my head.

Those are actually the least 'bad' units of them all. Let's just stay at the non- FW models:
Non-Zhandrekh Special Characters are terrible.
Most Crypteks are bad.
Lords are either naked, and bad, or overpriced and too vulnerable. (45 points for a 3++ on a 1W unit? Hilarious.)
Then we continue to Elites!
C'tan Shards, overpriced, weak compared to most MC's and crappy abilities.
Flayed Ones, these could be actually good in any other army but Necrons! They either need support from the rest of the army or get buffed.
Lychguards are too expensive.
Praetorians need more attacks.
Triarch Stalkers are too vulnerable and overpriced.
Our two troops are actually fine, although Immortals could drop a single point.
Necron Destroyers are really, really overpriced.
Tomb Blades are only good because they are scoring Jetbikes.
Monoliths are bad, Doomsday Ark is bad and Spyders are too slow.
The Necron-issue is that you are basically shoe-horned into using three or four different units and those happen to give you a win-percentage of 55% so everyone calls your codex overpowered. Even if you don't use those things.

Hopes
-Flayed Ones to become useful
-New Models
-For most characters to remain or be worked into Wargear
-Quantam Shielding to be nerfed a bit, Av13 spam is very tough to break
-Nightscythes to have the option to disembark and embark units
-Rules Clarification on Death Ray, Ever-Living and other poorly written rules
Expectations
-Flayed Ones to remain useless
-Price Increases for Annihilation Barge (if not points, then definitely $ because GW policy..) and other great units
-New Models that will be better than previous models (again, GW policy..)
-Tesla to be nerfed when Snapshooting (similar power in SW Codex IIRC?)
-Most if not all named characters to be removed, Stormlord to be LoW
Wants
-Gauss to auto wound/glance on 6 (same as 3rd edition)
-For Necrons to be a competitive codex capable of slugging it out against other top-tier armies
-Psyker Defence (but I'd be fine without, it could be a Necron armies weakness)
Just my two thoughts on the new dex, it's already very strong at the minute so doesn't need revamping to be competitive, I would be surprised if it did

Not sure if we will see all special character models to survive.
I think we don't need that many we have now.
Lynch Guard and Pretorians are overpriced.
The same holds for Destroyers, both patterns.

Imotekh, Anrakyr, Zahndreck, Obyron, Szeras and Orikan are here to stay - they all have models, so they won't be dropped.
Actually, there aren't any units in the Necron codex (unless you want to count the specialist Crypyeks) who don't have models, so I don't foresee us losing anything in that sense.

Not sure if all special characters will stay.
The Cryptek model is a problem.
Looks very poor and the weapons or upgrades you can give him are not reflected.

I agree with wüstenfux, Crypteks are a problem. Poor model and no customization, along with most Necron players using other models to represent them anyway might just as well lead to Crypteks being dropped
I'm interested in where they want to go with the fluff, though. Will they make amendments to the TruCron fluff or will they further go down the NewCron powercreep fluff route Matt Ward started to take?

Outflank is insanely powerful... if you have a gun.
Actually, here's what I want from the 7th edition Codex: Necrons.
Mindshackle Scarabs - removed.
Disruption Fields - added. Second Edition style.
In Second Edition, all Necrons had 'Disruption Fields' that caused all attacks against them to essentially Gets Hot from models within 1" (including close combat attacks). The really nasty part was... for ever Necron within 1", the penalty increased by 1. So if you were surrounded by three Necrons, you would Get Hot on a 1, 2 or 3 to hit!

I think I'd rather have more options for regular HQs, and just have SCs as specific builds using the existing gear (maybe with fixed Warlord traits).
As it stands, I get a bit fed up seeing SC's getting all the best (or most interesting) rules, weapons and wargear.
Even worse is when they are required to unlock a particular build, which no regular HQ can.

I was about to say, Necrons are already the oldest book to still be a high tier army.
And yes, psyker defense would be great. Pariahs, maybe? And wounding on 6s needs to come back, especially with T8 being a thing *cough*eldar*cough Automatically Appended Next Post: Furyou Miko wrote:Outflank is insanely powerful... if you have a gun.
Actually, here's what I want from the 7th edition Codex: Necrons.
Mindshackle Scarabs - removed.
Disruption Fields - added. Second Edition style.
In Second Edition, all Necrons had 'Disruption Fields' that caused all attacks against them to essentially Gets Hot from models within 1" (including close combat attacks). The really nasty part was... for ever Necron within 1", the penalty increased by 1. So if you were surrounded by three Necrons, you would Get Hot on a 1, 2 or 3 to hit!
Uhh, damn. That's intense. I doubt that would happen, but maybe the Kill-Team version of the Disruption field might become available, a 5+ invuln! Automatically Appended Next Post: vipoid wrote:
I think I'd rather have more options for regular HQs, and just have SCs as specific builds using the existing gear (maybe with fixed Warlord traits).
As it stands, I get a bit fed up seeing SC's getting all the best (or most interesting) rules, weapons and wargear.
Even worse is when they are required to unlock a particular build, which no regular HQ can.
Generic Cryptek HQ anyone? And a single list of Cryptek Wargear he can take? And maybe a shooty overlord. Here's to hoping.
