I think they'll either give Flayed Ones rending or something and leave them as elite, or keep them as is and make em troops.

What did I say about them being too complex? I can recall no such thing.

With that said, C'tan don't belong in 40k, not because they are too powerful, but they are tantamount to forfeiting the match. Does any other army have such a blatant "I lose" option that allows you to spend 360 points on what is essentially nothing?

Flayed ones will likely take whatever points drop the warriors should get. They need to rewrite "terrifying visage" and move'em to troops. I'd like to see them retain their deepstrike ablity as well. Rending or power weapons would be awsome, but almost overkill. It's not like we're getting a Demons of Chaos codex here!

Are they going to release any ne models or characters?

Truth be told, GW hasn't said anything official regarding a new necon codex other than hiring some space laser guy to write the fluff. This came from a U.S. Gamesday I believe. I believe we are all just speculating here. Maybe some new tidbits tomorrow? The one thing we can all be sure of; is how all units get soo many options to upgrade (Flayed Ones?). All 5th edition codexs seem geared to customising each unit with all kinds of stuff. What necron warriors can possibly upgraded with would be interesting. This just seems to be the trend i noticed. I have the ork and space marine codex; they both seem to be structured in a similar way. I bet the space wolf one will be the same structure as well.

Personally i'm hoping they release plastic Flayed Ones and Immortals, and maybe a plastic lord with loads of wargear. Rules-wise wraiths definately need rending or power weapons. And maybe T5. FNP is a fine replacement, and getting rid of phase out would be great, but Warriors don't need Invun. or rending, cos they'd end up being god-knows how many points. And we want lots, and lots, and LOTS more options (you know... as an upgrade from practically nothing).

And i'm pretty sure C'tan are going bye-bye 40k.

And Pariahs need sorting out (Necron, 2 A + W, maybe an invun... the works).


Lastly, any news from GD about the neccys?

Apparently, according to a guy in my local store, they have already completed a new necron codex. Don't know how long it is going to be though.

2 years bro. That HAS to be a record.

Starting a new thread wouldn't be much better, I guess.

How do people even find threads this old to revive them? Amazing.

I was wondering about that, and then remembered how we are all advised when creating a duplicate thread to "use the search function".

Sometimes it creates a glitch in the Matrix.

I was all ready to argue with someone on the first page when I saw the date. Damn Threadromancers!!! Where's the Ordo Hereticus when you need it.
