The Praetorian heads look awesome. Thought about using them for the Immortals, either that or deathmark heads on Immortals.

I'm like a giddy schoolgirl at the moment

Teeheeheehehehe!

I would use the praetorian heads on the lychguard, so I won't have to bother with those stupid frills.

Yeah because it's all about you right? I guarantee there are way more people excited than disappointed. I loved the idea of mindless killing machines waking up in waves after waves after waves purging the galaxy of life... but at the same time I love this new spin on the fluff, and I really like how it gives the race some character. Games Workshop is also throwing a bone to all those who actually enjoy 40K not just as a game but as a true hobby. The new minis are fething gorgeous, I can't wait to get my hands on them to paint them up.

Sadly it won't be for another week, as pre-orders are done on the last Saturday of every month.

I was kindly informed of this today when I dandered into GW.

I want my 'crons now!

I love this rule, funny as hell. I think I might get "And I Will Always Love You" on my phone to play whenever this guy teleports to protect his liege.

Are you shure thats not for the 'silent king' and Dante?....

Dude...please.

That is so old, and its not even funny.

I mean, Christ, it's like the biggest overblown misunderstanding of the fluff of all time.

And spell "sure" right, dammit.

It's a simple, commonly used 4 letter word.

There is still room in the new fluff for last edition style 'crons...

Yes, EXACTLY like that

Hmm after learning that most of the new kits are going to be plastic and not failcast I must say that I'm in a dilly of a pickle as I know I will want to resume playing my necrons!!

Alright, I'm fairly new to the game, and don't have experience with every army yet, but I just noticed something interesting.

Does this codex seem like it's going to play pretty close to Eldar in tactics to anyone else?

Always possible I'm too sleep deprived to know the difference.

Sorta except Eldar being BS3? and T3? makes it a different experience.

Fair

Actually most eldar I think is BS4. It's guardians who are BS3.

Don't forget that eldar have psyker powers, crons don't.
Oh and the 4 pt difference in initiative

So when does the new WD hit shelves?

And, does anyone else get the feeling that Sweeping Advance is going to be changed for 6th?

Late to the party... but I think most of those new Necrons look TERRIBLE.

You say 'most', but not all... Which do you like then?

My only skepticism is the November release as all that was advertised was dreadfleet in the latest WD . Im rooting for Necrovember since its a sticker on the leak, and if the codex is coming out Im buying it that day.

I just have to say, I like the looks of this. Depending on how the codex actually turns out, either this or wave 2 might just get the Necrons off of my "never going to play this army" list.

Awesome! I had all but given up on tabletop 40k because the one army I wanted to play was so neglected. And it's actually pretty cool because I only need to wait a few weeks.

It's going to be so nice to have strategies aside from "hide the warriors behind the monolith phalanx and pray they don't get phased." And the fluff sounds much better too. It's going to be kind of weird going from taking 400 points of warriors just because I have to to taking them because I actually want them around.

It's a shame that Immortals or LychGuard can't take a ghost ark though. Something about the night scythe seems like it's not going to last long enough to deliver the payload, and since it isn't open-topped I can't even assault out of it, right? What can I do with the lychguard? I was kind of excited about using them.

Just watched the BoW video broadcast. Missed a part from the beginning but seems I got the whole necron part.
Nothing new revealed there AFAIK and not the promised background info on how they got the pics.

I also watched it and was pretty much disgusted, didn't give any real info on how they get the pics, knew less about upcoming necron rumors than anyone who has read the first post in this thread, and at one point one of them was detailing the tactics he used in 4th edition to dominate and a lot of what he was saying was false .

Either way they were the first to break the pics and I thank them for that, you got one more viewer tonight and I even gave them a mention on twitter so I think its fair

To be fair they seems to have consumed a lot of beer (someone won a Ghost ark for saying "BoW is a front for the alcohol industry")
And they proudly presented a Necron army painted in plastic sprue grey

Hello all, I registered here to thank Yakface for every little snippet he has shared.

And also, has there been any rumors about the Ctan Shard stats? (except strength 7 of course)

If it has good enough stats I will probably base mine on the large 120mm ellipse base, just because it looks cool.

Considering they're currently on a 40mm termie base, that is a huge stretch. New models might fit that better hopefully. I'm a bit disappointed with str 7 though.

I assume they are still monstrous creatures so they ignore armour save and get 2d6 peneatration? S7 isnt bad

Yes, it is.

They used to be 9 for prettyboy, and 10 for the goth.

I would have thought the dissapointing bit about str7 is no insta-smushing of marine characters.
