@ ascalam, you can try pinning the arms on both the destroyers and their guns, that way if there happens to be a new gun or whatever you can just remove the gun arm and swap out. Assuming you can buy just the gun arm online or whatever.

I could The ones i have have the gun glued in place, as they don't currently have any options, but it wouldn'y be that haerd to sever the gun and magnetise it or pin it. If the unit size goes up i'll magnetise the new ones i buy to complete the force again

I'm not as ambitious as all that. I've bought a box of warriors and a Lord with orb and Staff. I might pick up another box of warriors before *crossing fingers* August.

I'm painting up my remaining destroyers today (3 down, 12 to go). Even if they get changed/nerfed/whatever i'll still like having them looking good, and if they get new weapon options i'll either convert or buy some more

I haven't had any trouble playing Necrons atm.... though I think that's because no one I've played has even played against them before. They're all like "Robots? What the hell are these.. I'll just melta that big pyramid thing and win!"

... It helps to be mad though..

Just dont let them catch on to the whole sweeping advance thing!

I do well enough with them, especially when they think like your example (it's fun to say 'no, it doesn't... ' ), but in tournaments (which i do every month or two with my crons) the opponents know to go for phase out/ cc sweep and ignore my Liths..

They do struggle horrifically in close combat though, and phase out is a deep and abiding aggrevation.

They can also pull some suprising wins out of the bag, like the time i took an all warrior (and one lord) force against khorne daemons (who are vicious in cc). The dicegods smiled and they kept popping up and then getting rapid-fired apart.

Of course the other 3 times i went against the guy i got turned into steel confetti, but hey..

I'm hoping for a few new tricks to pull on the enemy, that they won't be expecting :

I am has ambitious has it gets! Not buying one more new thing till I get something concrete which could be a while...

I'll be buying a large bundle at my store here soon, the entire Necron stock in fact XD Owner pulled it off the shelf for me to just grab all in one go, so I'm really hoping that the models don't get changed to drastically or else I will be Bumming T..T

Apart of me is thinking a fair few changes and between the 'confirmed' rumours on warriors, scarabs and destroyers the plastics are up in the air for me except for the monolith.

Still haven't finished my army
I want to paint them black with some white (Head and symbols) with red Guass crystals.
Trying to find red rods and Monolith cyrstal at the moment.
Hopefully they will be all primed black by end of tomorrow.

I have played a handful of games with Necrons ... sadly mostly vs Gray Knights.
You dont need to tell me about all the Initiative 10, str 5, everyone gets force weapons, ect ....
(Though i dont know much about what other Armies get)

I am just concerned that what they do 2 Necrons will fill with .
I just dont think we need all that stuff to be competitive. And thats all i want for Necrons.
What do you think they need to be competitive in the new edition?

Did they GK really need everything their army gained in the new codex to be competitive?
Imo they were over compensated ... but i can admit my view is skewed.

I do not think we should wish list =)

I'm hoping most of these rumors are true. Crons were my first army and it'd be nice to see them competitive in the current gaming environment.

Why?

News and Rumour threads to me on a new codex or whatever is the commentary of said news and rumour but wish listing is just whimsical fantasy. Its no sort of discussion or a meaningful statement in my opinion of course.

Yeah, but this thread should have been locked about 2 or three times before some new rumor comes out and then we have 2-3 pages of actual discussion and then nothing again. So we are in the nothing phase. Unless people want to talk about how they think they will use their c'tan/is it true.

I read at BoK that sisters will be out before necrons, but that it will be a WD only release. So that wouldn't necessarily push out necrons from august. Of course this could be old news.

Yup, you're right. It is old news.

Honestly, I feel kinda boned with GW's new way of marketing/releasing. Until recently, we could look out for 3 months in advance, and then by release day have a fairly good idea of what we're getting. Now, with their new approach starting with our beloved Necrons, of course, we get jack in comparison. Best part is, it might not even be Necrons! I mean, where is the proof that it's Necrons? I mean, before, we'd have had all these leaks, but now we get nothing til one week before...

Sorry, just needed to rant. anyways, I've been on and read some blood of kittens, and I saw him talking about the 1 use weapon. has anyone already talked about it yet here? (started only around page 42 to look at this thread.)

Had a feeling lol. But that was two whole posts that related to rumors so we're doing well!

As to the one shot thing, not really other than its probably a 1 shot s8 ap 3 blast or some such thing. I do not really have my hopes up as one shot weapons tend to be overpriced and to random to do that much good. But who knows, maybe GW will make it a steal and every necron lord will have one.

Hey, I think I just found something: These are the images directly from the GW website:

" border="0" />

Notice how these products don't have the "add to cart" option on them. Now I could be wrong, but I think this means our boys in steel are up next.

Hmm not so sure that is a complete confirmation, iirc the same thing happened with immortals and pariahs not too long ago. It could be a finecast thing.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
the same is true of the flamers for daemons. So its probably not conclusive

I just have to say that in New Zealand this is not the case. We can still get all of the Necron range

Another cheese ridden OP sounding army..


Matt Ward again?! haha

We'll see. if it is rubbish i will sell my 'crons and switch to Renegade Guard.

Just wondering about all this, 'we only hear about new releases a week in advance' malarcky going on. I mean we may not get model previews or leaks anymore but we still get the back page of White Dwarf. Which means by the end of this month, we should have some confirmation as to whether or not necrons are getting their well deserved autumn release. Heres hoping

whats your source?

Off topic but I do not think we will see sisters before necrons simply because of the back page advertisement thingy. We have the June White Dwarf it said July = Storm of magic so unless Nercons are September (not impossible depends if we really get a special box set) Sisters will not be before Necrons or at the same time. We saw how GW disliked the Dark Eldar razorwing being leaked at the same time has the Coven wave and they are the same race so I do not see a Sisters WD release coming at the same time has the Necron codex/army.

Any new news lately? Like, real news not wishlist rumors?

Depends on what you mean by lately, but no, not really anything for a while.

Necros wrote:Any new news lately? Like, real news not wishlist rumors?

Nope:

There are still only 2 rumour sets that are currently considered "reputable." Those from Yak, and those from Ghost at Warseer (and there's the supplemental C'Tan info from BoK but that's not really as solid in my opinion). Both of the primary rumour sets are extremely contradictory of each other so people who are keeping their minds open have sort of hit a stalemate as far as what info we should take as the reality.

The only thing that people seem pretty sure about is that the release will be in August-September (This is the only thing that 3-5+ reputable sources have consistently agreed on). Due to the absence of Incoming!emails, the probability is that the rumour well is completely dry until we see the final products either via photographic leaks, in White Dwarf, or on the GW site.

In other words: No new stuff at the moment. And, I wouldn't expect any more "bankable" rumours because, odds are, it will probably be close to release in August (if at all) that any more reputable stuff comes out.

Personally, I've cross-sectioned the rumour sets, sort of cookie-cutting the obvious ridiculousness out, and I have a reasonable list of expectations. The only rumours I'm buying from here on out will be those with GW-citing or photographic evidence because as we get closer to the presumed deadline people will get more and more hysterical and thus are going to post more and more wishlists (blurring the distinction between the BS and the actual rumours) ...

there's my 2Cents

Fr0z3n

If the Necron release is going to be July/Aug, i would think that next months white dwarf might might mention an upcoming necron release,
