Technically correct. It seems that the Necrontyr had their consciousness transferred from flesh t metal bodies.

So i suppose you could make fresh bodies and shove a warrior mind without a current body into it.

No, you couldn't. They don't just use any old metal, they use necrodermis, living metal.

Actually, only the C'Tan and Necron Ships are specifically stated to be built from Necrodermis.

Ok so can we have a refined update on the rumors? Because the front page says no WBB its not FNP, but Ive heard many people say no they are refining WBB. Also I think alot of the "rumors" in here sound like whislisting/BS to be honest. At least, I hope some of it is lol.

Oddly enough I just received 2000pt+ Necron army for free, so I hope their update is a good one, Ill enjoy not havint to lose to phase out for no reason at all Also I hope the warriors are useful once more, as right now they are kind of the Achilles heel of the army

Apocalypse Reload says you're wrong. It's called the Cannibalize Technology strategic asset; they reclaim whatever they get their hands on and transfigure it into a more suitable form.
Since this allows them to repair everything there's no reason why new warriors couldn't be created on the spot.

Same book that the Doomsday Phalanx came from too.

Unfortunately i think the only refined update available is still "no-one really knows". There are rumours supporting both WBB and FNP floating around.

If "Bob from Marketing" (legendary name..) is correct in his rumours then Necron players should be happy in most regards.

Totally worth it. Imagine the look on your opponent's face when they realise that you're going to ram a plane with a big floating pyramid, and they're powerless to stop you doing so, and worse, their retaliation will be ineffectual.

vice versa! Suicidal valkyrie goes for the ram. up to stregth 10? good luck valk haha!

Might have to go to Nottingham if Necrons aren't next and demand answers from the senior staff.

im down for eldar

nah id rather necrons even though i dont use them. my friends been waiting for it since 5th came out.

Something that your freinds and I have in common. I've been playing Necrons since they're army list first appeared in the White Dwarf. Hell I'm still using the original metal figures that came out at that time but, if the resculpts are cool, I'll probably retire them for the new figs.

That means the Valkyrie has a chance to damage itself if you say 'suicidal' yet when the monolith rams it has no chance of harming itself. its better chances for the monolith to be alive after ramming.

I've just found the Scarabs > Tank quote:



Not the most detailed quote in the world, but its definitely there. I highly doubt such a thing would be in new rules, however, it seems like a technology-reclamation that would be done outside of battle.

The enemy had annihilated the armoured columns with perfunctory ease and then used their swarm creatures to hut the machine innards of the Imperial tanks and convert them into more necron warrior constructs.

Well if it was to be a rule in the sense then it would mean that orks should be able to loot a vehicle during gameplay which isn't going to happen.

The Metal Tide wrote:Crons need a few more anti tank units IMO

Yeah, at the moment we can glance all over the place but we're not getting kill-points, our only real anti-tanks are Heavy Destroyers which are a complete and utter joke, and the C'Tan, which are expensive.

And C'tan depending on which rumors you wish to believe are rumored to be got rid of/moved to apocalypse only.

See my previous post; it's something Necrons already do in Apocalypse games.

There is another necron rumor forum that people might want to check out if they havent already. it could help to compare the two sets together

You mean there are other forums on the internets?! A forum totally dedicated to Necron rumours?

At least post a link, you can't just say there is an awesome place where all your dreams come true and then not say where or how to get there...

They did in Borderlands...

I think he means Bob's thread, but if there's an entire necron rumour forum then beam me up, scottie.

I ment the one posted by "Bob From Marketing" in dakkas news and rumors section.

My bad for the confusion.

Although there is this one. it might be of help but maybe not. It kinda has the same stuff but a little more dealing with the kits/sprues

You could try Necrontyr:

Bob's thread has been locked. Does that mean it was all just a bunch of ? We shall see...

Lol about the Necron exclusive forum though... Not such a bad idea...

I think all bob said seemed pretty reasonable

What makes you think that the rumours could be rubbish? Just because the owner of this website says so?

Yakface wrote:I have it on very good authority that all of these rumors are complete rubbish.
As such, I am going to lock this thread as it seems to be a post purposely designed to mislead.

BTW ghost21 over at Warseer thinks that Necrons will probably be released in August.

I have a strong feeling they'll be released for Hallowe'en, rather than August. We'll see.

If it is hallowe'en, awesomearse Necron hallowe'en party will be happening :p

In any case I think we can skip July since Storm of Magic is coming out that month. Well, let's hope August will be our lucky month...

My birthday is at the end of August, so a release earlier in the month would be grand

Had a thought today while reading "Fall of Damnos".....what if GW gave the author a copy of the finished Necron codex for reference material? So what we read in the book will be in the new codex in some form?

Just a thought.

When i mentioned this to the manager at my local GW he went all sheepish so i'm guessing that Fall of Damnos does provide a view into the new codex in places.

If the novel is based on the codex, then do we think that would mean that the special characters mentioned within wouldn't be in the codex, or that Nick Kyme was given special characters and wrote around them? In turn, if the codex were instead based on the novel, which is less likely I think but still a possibility, then we can have a fairly accurate idea of special characters, though it would be a bit rubbish if every special character in the codex came from one incident...

And now I'm going to stop saying special character.

Yepp, see my post from page 30:

I think "Fall of Damnos" is a great place to look for what's coming and I've heard it's 5 kits with some blisters ala Dark Eldar.(...)

Kelvan wrote:Did you see any relationship between stuff described in FOD novel and in new Necron dex?

I probably shouldn't say this, but at least 2 of the named lords there are supposedly characters in the dex (from the names at least , though only found that out after reading FOD). At least one will get a figure (I've seen it, it had a version before but he was never released)

It is plausible *Fall of Damnos* was written based on the codex after the author of the book was given a copy of the dex as reference. But even so would they have enough trust in the Author to know he wasn't just going to blat it out all over the internet. I mean you would have a copy of a new codex thats not even released yet, I mean what would you do

What woudl I do? Photocopy it.
