Nm.

Freaken want tau in feb. I predicted it in feb last year. I said to my friends, we have one year to wait. I expect it will happen, but then we all expected a inqusion codex not a grey knights dex

All the rage should be Cruddace and Kelly, for IG and SW, but all the band waggoning onto MW seems to forget that salient fact.

I would suggest you reread the GK book, and note how clever the synergy is in the army. The HQ slot in particular.

Yeah. Draigo.

He's real "clever".

A regular Clever Hans

I've read the GK book. I even own it (know your enemy ) and frankly it is a poorly balanced load of tosh, with some very poorly concieved rules and worse characters.

It's powerful, oh yes, but balanced or well written..not really.

It's so well written that you could imagine how a mere mortal could carve his name into an embodiment of pure evil merely by the eloquence of Matt Ward, bastard offspring of e cummings.

Lord i hope that was intended as sarcasm

Something tells me it was

News: The necron codex has stopped being stocked at my local GW. They have also pulled it of the website. Might be a connection issue on my pc, is this the same for you?

I don't see it either. Maybe the necrons will be updated soon?

Thats a good sign if I have ever seen one, personally I still expect the Necrons before October

Ctan_Overlord wrote:Thats a good sign if I have ever seen one, personally I still expect the Necrons before October

It's possible but depends on when the Ogres are out for Fantasy. Seeing how we have Sisters in August and Games Day in September, it's possible that we will see Necrons in October but I think that largely depends on what else GW is releasing.

EDIT - Just checked GW website and the Ogre's book is still up for sale. Necrons could be sooner than we think!!!

On another note - I was at Warhammer World earlier this week and most of the Necron Models are not in the display cabinets in the Mini Museum. Seeing how WD is a done a few months in advance we could be seeing Necrons in a few months.

In the past the WD has been written 4 months in advance of its release, and about 3 months ago someone reported that the Necron models were taken out for photographing at Warhammer World, we have yet to see the WD issue with Necrons in it so I am hoping for some news about the Necrons possibly in the next WD. You know uneless they have reduced the time frame in which WD are completed beforehand, in that case I have no idea.

The couldn't a couple of weeks ago. Hmm... I guess they restocked since then.

Gaz Taylor wrote:Seeing how we have Sisters in August...

I didn't think a WD mini-codex qualified as being part of the release schedule.

Not to get anyone's hopes up or contradict anyone, but the GW rep I talked to told me not to buy any more Tau and that stuff would be on the way by the end of the year. Both Necron and Tau need it. Obviously this is not confirmed at all, but they could have huge Christmas sales if they release both Necron and Tau by December. Just food for thought.

I imagine it does if they re-release some of the sisters models (either repackaged or in Finecast)

The only reason I suspect that a micro-codex wouldn't impede a necron codex is because they can do both at the same time I mean why not? Surely GW smells big bucks concerning Necrons, and they could also release the micro-codex at the same time to see if it could be profitable and worth investing into sooner or later.

@dschlot You either talked to a guy who THINKS he is a GW rep or going out of his way to keep his job buy getting you to buy the "latest thing" or at least not something so outdated. Tau getting updated this year just wont happen, especially with GW heavily pushing WHFB and with the micro sisters codex supposedly arriving shortly i am sure that making an actual codex for that has higher priority over a tau codex. and even still dark angels or black templars are infinitely more likely to be updated before tau they are after all space marines. Not trying to sound like TFG but don't get your hopes up for tau

I have heard that crons will come right after Sisters wd dex, I dont belive that gw would make two 40k armies in a row... or would they... They maby do some WHFB stuff after sisters but who knows!

They easily could seeing how the sisters thing is merely a micro-codex and I doubt new models would happen with something like that. and with the necron codex not available on the website anymore and all this other stuff popping up closer to August-September its just too big a coincidence. I mean I can honestly see Necrons making GW massive money (aren't well all curious to at least some extent?)

I nearly raged.

I want some new shiny robotz to dominate the tables with. C'mon GW!. As an aside, wouldn't it be cool if the necrons were immune to poison..since they're, well, robots? *disclaimer* that is pure wishlisting *end disclamer*.

You might as well make them immune to Dark Eldar. Same difference.

The Poisoned rule doesn't just represent poison. It could also be holy water (vs Daemons) or a highly corrosive acid (vs Necrons).

Cruddace and Kelly, made codexs with no consistancy for IG and SW.

I'm pretty sure that the Sisters, 2-part WD codex does have an impact on a Necron release. Here is why... there are only so many pages in a WD.

I wouldn't know how many pages are in a WD the models, paints, codex, and rules alone are too expensive

I'm pretty sure that the Sisters, 2-part WD codex does have an impact on a Necron release. Here is why... there are only so many pages in a WD.

And only so many dollars, pounds, etc. GW knows it can get out of people in a single month. They won't have two large, major product releases conflicting with each other in a month, especially not for the same game system. Occasionally a small alternate range release in the same month as a major one, not two major releases. I must say, the exact "when" of the Necron release is looking fuzzier all the time now.

Normally I would agree with everyone that the WD codex and necrons couldn't be released at the same time but I will stick to my guns on this one and say it is quite possible for both the WD and necrons in august, the only reason I think this is possible is because if there are no new models for the sisters concerning the white dwarf codex that would make it a less competitive release

edited accidentally messed up the month I meant so august

Well I don't think that WD mini codex counts as a major release. Iirc the blood angels codex didn't come out with support and was not the only thing released. Of course I may be loosing my mind.

However they are supposedly releasing a mini wave of vampires, so I guess that could be what is being released?

there are no new models for the sisters concerning the white dwarf codex

Is that a known fact? If so, that is significant.

One fact is, White Dwarf still announces ahead of time, though not by much, what is coming the next month, so at the end of July when the next White Dwarf is finally revealed we'll know for sure what August will bring. It's only a couple weeks away now.

Funny you only quote starting at there are no new models try reading that again I re posted what I said copy pasted it so try reading that a second time before claiming I said something like that.

Well that is the rumors I have read, and the posters seemed pretty sure. Of course its just rumors so eh.

On the other hand the lack of White Dwarf is supposedly from the rumors back in May/June which said that GW won't let anyone know what is coming until the week before. Back then they said that the new policy would begin starting after July. Sooo supposedly (man there are a lot of qualifications in here ) the releases for Aug/Sept and Nov won't get any news until right before.

Of course this is just a rumor based on a rumor, which is in turn starting a rumor.
