All the new policy changes and everything goes into effect on the first of June or some such. We know the Razorwing will be released next month but we have received no incoming or pre-order emails. I think it was between the 19-25th it would be released so we will only know for sure in the second week of June. If we dont get an incoming email this week then the rumour is true, it should have been sent out last week so I'm afraid it might actually be true.

First of all, if the release is for August we should have the e-mail at 16th may. We obviously didnt get it. Secondly rumors have said that GW stopped sending incoming e-mails.(and that rumor was pretty old, way before the 16th)
Also, if you check GW site the "Why Register" paragraph it does not mention the sending of incomin e-mails that used to be mentioned, it got deleted, which confirms my previous point. We got an e-mail bout the DE coz they were already there before the new "rule". However, I might be wrong(even tho it's quite impossible i'm never wrong).

Yet they now have sended an E-mail about the incoming Finecast Citadel range? Okay maybe a fewdays from now we will see them alredy xD so maybe now they do it a week before?

From what I have gathered from reading the rumor mill is that we will not hear anything about releases made after July (could be June) until one week before the pre-release. So if that rumor is true, then 'if' necrons are supposed to be released in August or September, we will not know until 14-17 days beforehand (pre-orders are a week or 10 days right?)

Awesome, so now it is even more of a wait and see situation.

Fair enough i guess (mostly coz there buggar all i can do about it).

More like 3-4 weeks before...
Unless thats changed.
But the DE up for advance order, thats been there a couple of weeks hasn't it?

Yeah just checked the thread on the DE release, and it started 11th May...Just under 2 weeks ago, and the DE aren't out until 4th June

Is there much point in rumours anymore when we won't get confirmation until the week before the release?

i think we should just start our rumors. crazy rediculous rumors and see how out of hand they can get!

OK, I got one! GW are gonna cut off half the world! Wait, that's a real thing... I know, the new Marines book belittles every other chapter and says they all want to be Ultramarines! Wait, that's real as well...

Crazy and ridiculous... I know! GW are going to do something that pleases their fans! That's pretty ridiculous.

make up our own rumours?........

Apparently the 2 missing primarchs are going to turn up as a new "pariah-type" unit in the new 'Cron codex.

Turns out they were both defeated and captured in their first missions for the Emperor and he thought it would be better to just deny all knowledge than accept the fact that humanity was not the be-all and end-all in the universe.

I always thought the 2 missing primarchs were girls, and he killed them and their legions because girls have cooties.

Lol. You win.

Sadly, GW information policy has changed drastically last week.
No more incoming newsletters, no more preorders 2-3 weeks in advance (reduced to one week), no early black boxes, no preview Codices, no White Dwarf before the release. Yes, a complete embargo on any information until the week of release. Makes rumours more difficult. Makes selling GW stuff more difficult. Makes no sense economically, but here you are.

i heard that the new necron codex is going to include the Hive Mind as a 0-1 Elite and you can use to control all tyranids and kroot with it and its name is.... Henry.

Henry the Hive Mind.

His favourite colur is blue, and he loves Skittles..

One more nail in the coffin of Codex Tyranids 5th ed.

Sorry I missed that bit.
I know its already been said, but are GW trying to kill themselves? Its pathetic, how can any company run like this?
They were never perfect, but all there recent changes have made them worse.... I'm not going to stop playing 40k, because i enjoy it and have a number of friends who play, but i don't particularly want to buy from GW anymore at all, and might start looking into alternative games...

No more balck boxes? Or they will just come out after the official release? Who released this bit of bad news to you?

Random rumors now?

Ok...

I hear that the Chaos God Malal is actually the nightbringer who is also the hivemind hence the strong tendency of all of them to kill EVERYTHING.

Currently it looks like Black Boxes delivered on release day:

how about when they suddenly fired all the GW employees in the midwest region and told a couple you can have your job back, you just need to fill out an application. we had 2 brand new stores open up here in Wisconsin USA (Greenfield 2006 then Kenosh around late 2009) and they had the best staff ever. now they only have one dude per store so they dont really have the time to really get to know their customers like the first crews did and the shops generaly blow now because of this... the new guys are probably real cool kats too but I'll never know because they dont have time like the first crews did. true story, did this happen to any of you? we mis ya Jay and Hoff

by the way, i think i will start a whole new thread for the rediculous false rumours. i think that should be fun. look for it tonight!

I hadn't looked in this thread in quite some time and just popped in to see what useful and exciting Necron news would be posted on the newest page, PAGE 46 of this thread because there just HAD to be great information still being posted here after so many pages. (yes, that was a bit sarcastic). And after glancing at the last page of posts it met my expectations beyond my wildest dreams, which is to say I was expecting to see useless waffling on about nothing related to the original topic after nearly four dozen pages and indeed it has gone light years beyond that. When was the last time something that wasn't superfluous prattle was posted here? Does anyone even remember when the last time news or rumors about Necrons was posted here? Aren't there other threads already for discussing GW's business practices? Yes there are. Wasn't this supposed to be about Necrons? Yes it was.

Seriously, some people definitely have way too much time on their hands. My only question now, why didn't the MODS lock this thread ages ago?

... Wow, chill out dude. If you dont like it, dont read it anymore. Did you acually think there was 46 PAGES of rumors? Sheesh!

Over on warseer apparently there may be a codex page leak showing the warriors and Immortals with several weapon options and whatnot. Quite interesting.

Actually, if you even skimmed a little, you'd have saw the whole ordeal about units are becoming resin, and that GW is raising the price of resin over pewter models despite resin being cheaper. That's where the GW business practice sprouted with people putting input on how they felt, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER RUMOR THAT POPPED UP.

So apparently they're going all-out Technobabble on them. Okay, I guess I can understand that. Tomb Kings are all Supah Majikk! and Necrons are all Supah Spayse Maji- I mean Teknologee!!

But Heat-ray Cannons? Annihilator Particle Rifles?

Euclidian disruption shrouds?

Hmmmm.. interesting, but I'm gonna hold out from believing this 100%.

It's treknobabble, hmm.. grimdarknobabble?

'I'm nuking your unit with my reactive lightning fields and tesla annihilators...'

I thought Haemonculi were supposed to to be the mad scientists

I'm not sure if i want to geek out on the ludicrous names, or cringe at the thought of using them

I'm still new, but I have a question on the wording in the leak. When talking about the weapon upgrades, "The entire squad may replace..."
Does that mean that if you replace one, you replace them all?
Does that mean that I can have 2 Tesla weapons, 2 particle weapons and 3 gauss weapons in my 5 man unit?

Oh, I am geeking out on the math/science names.

If the unit size is right, that really surprises me... I mean, GW not taking the chance to make us buy another box or two of warriors?!?!

Yes, according to the wording in that file all the warriors/immortals in the unit would have to have the same weapons.

However, I like the chance of viewing such pages in our new codex, if those are true,... HELL YEAH!! WE POOWWWNNN!! we have the %^*£+%£¨° Reconstrution rule! xD and the firstborn rule must be something nice as well! Damn if my necrons had feelings they would probably smile to see stuff like this! and I like the very destructive sounding names haha
