It has nothing to do with competitors. If you know a new codex (or any product) is coming out soon, who will buy the current one? That's what it's about.

People are actually buying the "current" Necron codex still?

/boggle

Is the FW tomb stalker supposed to be added to the codex? I've been thinking of getting one, it'd be nice to know if it will be made "official" or not.

I'd imagine so, just like the Trygon was for 'Nids. Here's hoping, its too great of a model not to be added

yeah but they only added the trygon to the codex when they made a plastic one. But then, they added all those IG tanks that you could only get from FW, and there's still a bunch that GW still hasn't gotten to plasticify yet.

Could be the tomb stalker is the monsterous creature that's rumored to be in the book and if that's the case I'd rather wait for the GW version.

The Tomb Stalker is usable with the codex, in non-Apocalypse games.

I think the Tomb Stalker was really released as a teaser for the new book and for GW to gauge interest in the Necrons to plan for a future release.

In that case, I should buy one.

The Tomb Stalker is a recently released resin figure. GW has historically never released a model in FW Resin and then immediatly into a Codex.

The Eldar Night Spinner, Tyranid Trygon, and Imperial Guard Medusa et al are all old FW models that were not only made Codex-official, but also re-released in plastic. Forge World made profit off them when they were resin and GW re-released them into plastic.

I doubt the Tomb Stalker will be in the codex.

wasn't the tau pirana a FW model first as well?

I think I'll go ahead and order one up anyway. I really like the model. Since I only really play friendly games and never tournaments, I doubt any of my friends would mind me using it.

I'm also thinking about trying to re-cast some of the leg bitz myself to use as legs to make beetle-destroyers instead of the flying kind. I did that before back when GW had bitz orders but I used tomb spider legs. I think the thinner looking stalker legs will work better this time around.

FW explicitely said that the Tomb Stalker was a one shot not referring to anything. And nobody at GW is interested in gauging interest in future releases (see rumour policy).

So are you in the business of just making stuff up or would you like to site a source? Do to the sarcastic tone of the latter part of your statement I'm inclined to believe you like to make stuff up.

It was mentioned in the forgeworld talk at games day UK if you look up the thread you will see it there.

I bought one about 3 months ago. Got it pretty cheap.

When are Tomb Kings coming out?

Maybe the dead walking mention was to have the Tomb Kings and Necrons come out at the same time.

Tomb Kings, Necrons, and VC all at the same time. Would be an epic release.

And as such, it won't happen.

Any more news about the Crons?

I've only heard they'll be back

In short - no, no new word.

I'm sure someone will be able to supply new and exciting information.

When there's any to be had.
