If you consider the fluff Necrons are built to shoot. They have superior computer bionics and targeting arrays built into their mechanical minds. Should they not then shoot at BS5. I am being optimistic but it seems that it would makes sense.

**Ascalam**

It would, but then they'd be better than marines, so that will never pass muster.. They should also be stronger and tougher, being machines, but hey...

I am a necron player. I have seen so many rumors on necs I refuse to get excited good or excited bad. The only way I will get excited is when I actually see proof. Like a pic of that poster would help or something actually for GW.

Just a question for Bob if he even reads before he posts.

How do you feel about almost all of the major rumor mongers completely disagreeing with your rumors?

Well yes but you would think that if all this was done and they were made better than marines, in shooting, strength and toughness (will never happen) then the points value they were made be it 25 or 30pts would justify them.

"Ward"... the new four-letter expletive to so many gamers.... the man who seems to be on a crusade to completely feth up the 40k universe, one codex at a time...

Mind if I sig that, Padre?

Sig away!

And, since I'm not a player, just a painter / collector / avid fan of the background...

the sooner Mr. "Blood / Nemesis / Necron-Blood Angel-Love" Ward is kept working on rules, and WAY THE HELL AWAY from fluff...the better.

Otherwise, it'll all end up warded, you mark my warding words...

Yep he better not make a story about Nids vs Necrons in the new codex or ill have a fit and tear his house down with my teeth or maybe a home built gauss cannon. It just wouldnt work.

He has T8 monsters in it-with the sole exception of the steam tank, there are no monsters in WFB above T6 (maybe the star dragon-not sure). And Tomb Kings can spam those T8 creatures as character mounts, special and rare choices. It can be rough. I've seen the book after it came in later than the black box.

Meh, 8th edition is all about hordes and auto-wounding on 6s. 1 T8 mount is not so scary to a horde of spearmen or my Ogre deathstar....and I've had a T9 tyrant (briefly) before with stacked gut magic on him.

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.
