I'd just like to see the Necrons take up MORE than 2-3 pages in the citadel catalogue. I mean, really.


Ok that I will agree on.

Necrons are all about the Gauss and Necrodermis (living metal/energy)

so im guessing the weapons will be the same but the next codex will add more unit choices.... a lot more

Im thinking Necron like Bone Giant with crystal in the middle

Maybe a new rule for the stargods like if they kill a unit, they become stronger



The biggest thing though, after reading a ton of tore, is that it seems necrons are taking more and more from the other races.

Pariahs for example! So maybe we will see some half human, half necron units and maybe some weird panther like necron machines.

the stats are nice, but I would increase the amount of points and maybe make a smaller version so that it doesn't become the prime target first turn

Give Bjorn the Fell Handed the ability to take a drop pod or 2 DCCW I mean seriously for a 10,000 year old Space Wolf Vet encased in a dreadnaught Sarcophagus to not be able to do this is ludicrous especially for 270 pts. And on the subject of SW dreads WTF can't they take Ironclads probably the most SW like Dreadnaught variant out there????

furioso is a BA exclusive.

And I'm not thinking of custodes, that would be way too OP, I'm thinking more along the lines of power armoured bretonnians, something like Power lance, ignores armor, when charging +2 str bonus, something like that.

You mean more like Eldar with their force pikes mounted on bikes.....

I think that profile would be a bit TOO powerful. More playable would be:

Power Lance:
Rerolls failed rolls to hit
+1 Str on Rolls to Wound


Power Weapons ignore armour anyway.

Well, the 2+ on the charge would reflect the momentum of the bike charging in, doesn't seem that OP honestly as it would be just for 1 turn, next turn they'd be regular power weapons.

Your suggestion would make the unit more reliable overall but in the end it would make them more OP (IMO).

Another point is fluff blending, I know GW usually doesn't care about fluff when making rules, but the +2 str bonus on the charge could be explained by the above mentioned while the reroll wold be hard to explain as usually lances are long and heavy weapons.

Roll a D6 on every player turn
Turn 1: 6
Turn 2: 5
and so on

If you roll the required number the game ends in a draw as both armies are annihilated.

An option under Chaos Dreadnought that reads:

"Lose 'Crazed' Special Rule and take 'Fleet' Special Rule +35 points"


BTW! For the Longest time, I thought Chaos Raptors were 33 Points....They're only 20 points! YAY

I was looking at the above entry for chaos bikers,which are overpriced,IMO. Who cares about an extra toughness and 12 inch Movphase? I can get a terminator for three points less!
