Looking at the resin changes it would seem only necon fans have a reason to be pleased because none of the Necron range is being made resin (at least at the moment) which could quite easily imply that the range is being redone soon which in turn means a new codex is on the horizon. Again it might look like a feeble argument but hey it seems quite plausible to me!

Thanks for ur rumors ur awsome ^^

Silence of the Yak...

Anyway, sure I don't mind small delays, but it would have been good to get that blasted confirmation...just to quell the inner feelings of insecurity that arise when dealing with GW...

Hey 42nd page! I like this number!

42nd! better then any first any where... I do not feel the need for confirmation because it will be like the grey knight one. I am quite greedy and although I always take my rumours with salt I love eating them up, a confirmation will merely tell me what my gut already tells me.

I'm actually hoping that with the Incoming mail there might be some sneak peek of any new models more than waiting for the actual confirmation...
I know too, that by now it's almost a given fact... we just don't know the exact date yet.

Here is hoping we get a preview but the grey knight one was if I remember correctly a picture of a grey knight and above it ZOMG INCOMING KNIGHTS THAT ARE GREY AND DEAD KILLY! so in my head I expect a very similar thing.

Well, I was hoping for something like the Tomb Kings Incoming...they had a zoomed in image of something, allowing speculation as to its nature to run rampant... It eventually turned out to be the impressive Necrosphinx. Something like that would be nice.

Aha yes of course I forgot about warhammer like a fool, lets hope for a trend! that MC zoomed in that was rumoured.

Why the hell not!

If by "speculation" you mean "bad info, worse wishlisting and people being purposefully deceptive because it's their preferred means of trolling" then yes, that would be nice*.


*Not really.

I don't care what is in the Incoming email as long as there is one soon. I want to see some Necron stuff at Games Day this year so I can judge that Matt Ward personally and if they suck level his face with a roundhouse kick.

((This has lacked any Ward hate these past few days, thought I would add the prescribed dosage.))

Paracetonoscontempto Wardate. Take once weekly. Side effects include uncontrolled rage, anger at innocent bystanders and drowsiness*.

*Everything seems to cause drowsiness.

Meh two sides to the same coin.

I think this kinda hits it on the nail ish... and maybe Ward's thumb as well.

This thread is officialy dead. Just like our favourite necrons! Lets just hope it will get back up with new rumors too!

necr0n wrote:This thread is officialy dead. Just like our favourite necrons! Lets just hope it will get back up with new rumors too!

well lets see, 1) finecraft has no necrons on it 2) no one has posted any new rumors 3) the only "rumors" are wild speculations at this point.

Well no Necrons on the fine cast probably shows that Necrons are on the way, its not wild speculation to suggest that I think. We have pretty much discussed everything Necron at this point that we have and a fair bit of what we don't!

Still leaves me scratching my head as there are no Wraiths, pariahs, flayed ones or ANY of their metal kits for that matter. Unless each one is a getting an entire overhaul like DE, then I'm stumped as to what's going on with this finecast crap.

especially when i hear its more expensive... why did they change to a more expensive method again?

Justify the next price hike?

And actually, the resin is more expensive than the plastic but less than the metal (if memory serves). I believe they can get higher quality detail out of resin as well, so all in all it's a win/win for them.

kenzosan wrote:especially when i hear its more expensive... why did they change to a more expensive method again?

Resin is a significantly cheaper as a material than pewter, GW are just raising the prices because they get away with it. They'll be at least tripling their profits now. I don't understand why they don't lower their prices and allow people to more liberally expand into apocalypse sized armies that way they will sell more thus keeping their profit margin. I seriously think that GW rolls a D6 on deciding on a marketing strategy; it always lands on "screw the customers."

Must be like the artillery die: 4 arrows and 2 hits...they must have rubbed out the hits somehow...

I think it's like a normal d6, except every side of the die is another 0 on the price.

Lets try to keep the finecast 'discussion' to its respective thread!

Anger/Rage/Injustice spills over; I'm surprised the Finecast discussion hasn't been turned into a conspiracy starring the gentlemanly Matt Ward yet.

I too am shocked at the lack of Matt Ward related hate but pleased so little has occurred.

i think we are over it. we spent, what, 40 pages blaming him for things?

Besides, these changes don't actually seem that bad from my point of view. Necrons NEED a resurrection, so to speak.

In all honesty, I'm a little curious to see where he takes them. Against all hope I'm thinking perhaps this will be the codex where he calms down from the 'ZOMG SPESS MEHRINES BESTEST' mentality and lets the pot simmer first before pouring, so to speak.

I don't get this post. Going "Space Marines are bester than the bestest of the best!" was his job, because... he was tasked with writing three Space Marine codices and nothing xenos-related. So there's pretty much no reason to assume that he'll mess things up out of some kind of misguided Space Marine admiration/fascination/obsession and/or desire to see every xenos army be Space Marines in funny disguises. In Fantasy his Wood Elves were well-received and the Daemons book's fluff was pretty damn superior to the stuff in the 40k version.
