I guess this is the hoax that wasn't.

Clearly, a blurry version of that was shared here a few weeks back.

Decent model...looks like a complex build.

So people will now apologise to Mr. Mystery for call him in a troll and saying he had a "lot to make up for" for posting a "hoax".

Oh no wait. Of course they won't. This is Dakka.

It looks more than a complex build; it looks an absolute nightmare. Very very pretty, but a nightmare

No kidding Chuck. As much as I want that, I have to remember that it's resin, made by Forge World, and has multiple legs. I didn't get the Khornate Daemon Engine thingies because they were big models resting in tiny feet, and I'll be making the same choice here. In plastic? Sure. In resin? Go away...

I felt like a fool when Mr. Mystery said it was a hoax, since I had been convinced it was accurate. Nothing about his posting pattern with that picture indicated it was a hoax, so I was surprised when he claimed it was. I'm sure he (or she) had their reasons.

And even before he made the hoax claim, he was treated rather shabbily.

Nah, it's clearly a hoax. I used PhotoShop once so i can see the joins and stuff. Mr Mystery probably hacked the forgeworld website and the forgeworld stand at Gamesday too, just to ma?e himself feel important. What a troll!

Seriously though, i think a lot of people should reassess their attitudes after this reveal. Just because it's the internet doesn't mean you HAVE to be a prick.

Anyway, the model looks alright, but a bit too centipede-y for my taste. I won't get one, but it doesn't mean it's bad.

Hmm, well I guess I should apologise, but he did bring it upon himself by refusing to elaborate about it.

Personally, I don't like the model. It looks too much like a robotic Tyranid, not much like a Necron. And yeah, that is gonna be a bitch to assemble.

I like the rules, and it's a heavy support choice, not an apocalypse only thing (still need concent from opponent, but still)

A lot of rules for one beast! (not complicated ones, just many of them!)

I wish GW will pick up this one for the next update.

Cant wait to build one (even if it might prove hard to build)

It doesn't really say "Necron" to me. I like the Grot land battleship more.

Sonnuvabitch lol, here's me with doubting thomas on my face! For the record I wasnt one of the hoax callers, just thought it might be something else, I still think it barely looks necron compared to the current line...

But I guess it's going to look pretty darn necron compared to the new one!

I love it so much I want 3! I can't wait to see a few of these things running around surrounded by a carpet of scarabs as they start eating fools.

Here's hoping that you can alter the pose a bit, as multiples might look a little odd.

Mr.Mystery!

Successful Troll is successful?

Looks great, by the way. The experimental rules leads me to believe that we'll be getting a new necron codex soon. This seems very different from existing necron stuff.

Is it really worth 195 points though?

a Lemon Puff can be taken out with 1 hit.
This needs 4 & can't be instant killed 'cause of the toughness 7.
Plus you could probably model it to have a lower profile than the Puff.

Nah, why did he claim it was a hoax if he didn't want a negative reaction? Most people gave him the benefit of the doubt until he wrote a post saying "ha ha, I just hoaxed you suckers" or whatever.

Anyway, the model looks good to me but I don't collect Necrons.
