... from www.tabletopwelt.de and translated from German:

For years stubbornly hold the rumors (or rather: dreams) for a new Codex: Necrons. Few peoples in Wh40k have such a code as the old tin men, but so far have all rumors, GW would be in a reprint number proved hollow air.

Even at the beginning of this month has again been stressed that if GW had not yet had any formal plans regarding the Necrons would be underway. Even more surprising is a highly confusing Screenshot of a reference table:

How exactly is the leak of this information could come, is currently hot in the international forums.

As you can see, it almost gives the impression that come to a code book that is already quite far in its development has progressed. Because even new units are included, is also not a simple "Chapter Approved" similar FAQ / update, as the Space Wolves a few months ago have received.

We can therefore curious as to how it goes here!

Off Topic:

Anyone know what date it is today?

**DarthDiggler**

That is true about the date, but it looks good to me.

**aka_mythos**

Its a shame its probably a prank... aside from the minimalism of it, it looked interesting. Pylons, scorpions, oh my... which would win a squadrons of "necron scorpions" or a brass scorpion? The world may never know.

**Cyporiean**

March 31st?

**Superscope**

1st of april... and damn... looking at that sheet it looks like necrons lost WBB? They seemed to have fixed the gauss weapons (Which they all look to be unholy weapons of mass killings) and necrons now have FNP as a standard?

**Asmodai**

The wording on Warscythes is different than that used for similar weapons, and the wording for Invulnerable Saves is completely different than how other Inv Saves work in 5th ed.

Not impossible, but that makes it seem less likely.

**Vaktathi**

It looks too wishlisty, and runs counter to what we've heard so far about no C'tan and multiple types of Lords.

I'm gonna go with HBMC and say check the date.

There's no way such rumors would be floating around this early. We've only barely had the IG sheet for a couple weeks.

**Cheese Elemental**

Eh... it's plausible, I suppose, but it is April 1st over here.

That's right. I keep forgetting that you Yanks live in the past where us Aussies live in the future.

The only downside to that is that the damned Kiwi's are even more in the future with us... scary... scary thought.

**DebonaireToast**

Now, I know GW isn't known for their copy-editing but:

"They were designed to cut through even the best armours"

reads like it was written by someone who is not a native English speaker. Coupled with the fact that the rumor mills been coming up empty on the 'crons lately, makes me think it's probably a prank.

But then again....who knows?

Well, if you're in the future then you can send me the lottery numbers

**Orkeosaurus**

If a nuclear holocaust comes to Australia, it will give us time to stockpile food and ammo in America.

Also, "Lord of Deceiving"? Wouldn't Lord of Deception sound better?

**Valhallan42nd**

Gauss "Flamer"? I don't think so. It doesn't sound gothic enough.

Unless it's from a playtest codex, which is possible.

**Ktulhut**

As much as I want that all to be true (probably due to its wishlisty-ness), it seems to good to be true that it pops up on April 1st. And yes here in the land of Epic Win and Small Flightless Dorkbirds, it's been april 1st for over 15 hours so I'm guessing this is an April Fewels prank.

More importantly it was April 1st in Germany when it was posted on www.tabletopwelt.de... 12 minutes past midnight to be precise. So yes, an April Fool's... even without the sloppy pluralisingses in it.

And just in case all of that wasn't clear enough:

Yeah that definitely didn't seem right. I mean why not just call it a flamer. "It doesn't shoot regular fire, oh no, it shoots GUASS FIRE"

**Kid_Kyoto**

Disbeleive.

The English is awkward:

"Gauss weapons: Against troops..."

Should be against models or against infantry

"Disrution weapons:...cut through even the best armours..." incorrect English

"Lord of The Night" miscapitalized
"Lord of Deceiving" should be Lord of Decption

It reads like someone who is very good, but not great, at English trying to write English.

A for effort though.

Happy April 1 everyone.

**H.B.M.C.**

Hey, cool springboard for extra ideas for my Necron Codex. I'm not complaining.

**MarvinGayeIsMyDaddy**

Oh hey! More plague marines! Awesome!

Fixed it for you.

**Reecius**

The grammar is really poor, unless that is a first draft, I have my doubts.

Other than that, it is pretty cool looking, some new units in there, which would be really nice for the Necrons.

**gameandwatch**

YIKES....if this is true, man are necrons gonna start appearing en-masse... simply mad killy...

**Cheese Elemental**

Hey, if Australia is in the future, then one of you Americans can go and give my teacher the flu, so that I wouldn't have had that pop quiz today.

The problem is, if we do that Hitler might win WW2.
