Hi, just in case any of you wargame in 15mm, I have started a range of 15mm sci fi with my first release, a line of xenomorphs called "space demons."

Here's a sample, mounted on 1p. Painted by Carl Robson.

Not to be mean, but aren't you worried about being sued?

You might want to read the preceding post one more time.

The connotation is that the Necrons rip off the Terminator. They're similar, but I think the "We'll Be Back" rule is actually much more of a link than the looks... The Necron models are much more stylized than the Terminators. They're obviously not human skeletons, unless there is a bunch of humans with big shoulder-plate bones, solid chests, and faces long enough to make Hugh Laurie jealous.

Terminators aren't human skeletons either. Their torsos and faces are much different if you take off the human frosting.
Look at some of the original Necron stuff, and the timing of its release, and you will see a much stronger link than you were aware of.
The current line has evolved from the blatant ripoff.
Just as the Tyranid line has moved away from its inspiration, though Genestealers are still close to the same as the original SpaceHulk models.

hate to burst your bubble but 40 k came out before terminator the necrons existed during the rt days and is not a rip off of the model 101.

No bubble to burst.

Terminator came out in 1985. Rogue Trader in 1987.

I am not aware of any Necron warriors in RT.
There were Robots but not Necron Warriors.

There is a pic of a necron warrior along with a anbull a hurud and others in the rt rule book

russ is correct here

No he is not. He is talking about a picture in the third edition rulebook. I have seen it.

The necrons (the C'tan) were first mentioned in the fluff about the callidus assasin phase sword.

A bit later then that, around the very end of second edition, the necrons appeared

I know I saw a necron in the book but I can't find the pic found the ambul tho

That is because the ambull was one of the original aliens in the rogue trader book. Hrud and necrons appeared much later.

Just this once when I know for sure, can some little piece of the universe just please agree with me?

Not without proper evidence I'm afraid.

I agree with you, Paul Atreides.

Too bad I'm not even a little piece of the universe, though.

Necrons didn't appear in the original rule book. The first real sighting of a necron came with space crusade. At the time though they were referred to as chaos androids

Either way, my point is that the two are certainly similar, but GW is generally good at filing off serial numbers to avoid lawsuits.
