I would agree with you there. I would probably make it a free downloadable pdf on the net as soon as it was announced they would be coming out.

I must say, I wouldn't put it on the Internet, thus cheating Games Workshop of a lot of money. I would spread "rumours" that were 100% true on forums like this and say that I had seen the codex, so the word was out regardless of people believing me.

Got to agree with Nerd. throwing the whole thing out there you are just begging to get it deleted and the GW heavies at your door.

Leak 100% true rumours spread out over several forums, and trust to people like we have here to compile them all into accurate rumour threads.

All the while sitting at home, making funky ass lists to nail opponents with snazzy new rules. Getting a head start on conversions etc.

In one of my roleplaying organisations, the GMs often get pre-release stuff and have to sign a non-disclosure agreement for that reason when they take up the position. Same as anyone who works somewhere that deals with sensitive information. It would be the same with the authors.

I mean, obviously the artists do. There's pics of terrain you'll see as a background on a box set that was released three years before the terrain is released. So obviously the authors would need this info, too.

I'm also pretty sure that they wouldn't want to put their jobs in any kind of jeopardy, over something Trivial as getting information out there early.

Hmmm, I've just seen mention in FoD of Heavy Destroyers. Perhaps as has been predicted in the past, Tesla Cannons are replacing Heavy Gauss Cannons, and upgrading a Destroyer to have a Tesla Cannon will make it a Heavy Destroyer.

Also, I'm fairly certain Necron Warriors are retaking their original name of Necron Raiders; the word Warrior is almost never mentioned in the book. Everything else is mentioned save Pariahs, BUT:

They almost certainly are.

The weaponry is the same (glaives/halberds are very similar) although GW uses the word glaive oddly at times.

The description seems about right.

I would like to actually use my Pariahs again, and escorts to a walking lord were what they seemes to be intended for in the old codex. I thuink it mentions them being used in that way

I just hope that they spice up their combat abilities, since no mention seems to be made of their psyker-sod-you aura..

Don't count on using too many with your lord.

More than 0 is still an improvement

The weapons on them are...meh at best.

Wha? Are you talking about the current Pariahs or a new type? Warscythes with built-in Gauss Blasters are really good imo, just a shame that they never get a chance to use the damn things...

If my life and career and family depended on BL/GW's payment, sure I would risk all that in a heartbeat for some early nerdrage on anonymous internet forums

Spoiler:

They could be the Guardians of the Undying that are mentioned.

I personally wouldn't like the change, from Warriors to Raiders now. Raiders, just sounds to barbaric, for me. I would think of something more refined. They could always go the Roman route, with names like Necron Praetorian, or something. Anything is better than Raider though.

I can think of quite a few names I'd like over Raider. Purger? Harvester? Eradicator?

Praetorians are Guards, aren't they? I think it more likely that that would be the name for the Pariahs. I agree that Raider is a bit uncivilised for Necrons, Warrior is a lot better, and more synonymous with the idea of them being the rank and file of the army.

I think in such cases the model kits are actually based on the art, not the other way around.

Legionaries seems quite appropriate with words like phalanx and praetorian maybe.

Guys... are there actually any new rumours to read up on?

The most recent rumours were Bob_from_marketing's, but apparently the rumours were all made up. At the moment the biggest source of rumours seems to be Fall of Damnos.

So... we're guessing what's coming next from a book?

This thread seems to be getting more dead every time I visit

I seriously feel we will not hear anything else till the 'incoming e-mail' if that happens at this point. I think people have gone through everything now at this point, at least for necrons!

Like a... NECRON?!

Couldn't resist it.

If you were to go with the phalanx metaphor, then you'd want to run with Necron Hoplite for your basic warrior.

Figuratively.

Oh how I hope this is true, I'd love to get that Incoming email next month. I might just have a nerdgasm.

Hi,
did my best to transfer your insights from Warseer to here.
Maybe you can give a summary of what you know and can share yourself.

ghost21 wrote:as warseer is dead first ill say hello , second i do have it on authority necrons are way before haloween thats when ogres are pegged in

I really hope so. A summer Necron release would be fine with me.

outa curiousity, how many months are usually between releases? in relation to the brb release, cuz i remember 2-3 months but im unsure.

I heard a nasty rumor today that the new molds were damaged beyond salvaging, and that they were flipping the release schedule to be tau, sisters, then necrons. I was kinda hoping necrons were next even if I play tau, just so my codex would be developed closer to 6th.

What do they do in the design studio? Juggle the things?

They had the same issue with molds last year, wasn't it?
