Yeah I think having a 24" gun that has dual use as anti-tank, flamer, as well as twinlinking the rest of the army at the target if it doesn't die (a ork horde or beastpack for example) will be a must-have in TAC lists after the model is released. I just hope it's not going to become a Tervigon situation where one of the best units in the codex is never made by GW...

There's never been some sacred law prohibiting the painting of Necrons in a different paint scheme...

Aye, my lad wanted some red and brass, so I went with a red chest and brass head/weapons to offset the red. I liked the results and he loves it.

On a side note, did we have a pre-order date, for some reason my brain was telling me today.

Next Saturday, a week from the 5th Nov release.

Ah cheers, my wallet will probably start hiding itself around next Thursday then, it can sense the incoming pain.

I'm starting to think my starry themed necrons might make a good Stormlord army.

That is a prerry damn nice necron army you have yourself there! Never seen anything remotely close to it originality is underestimated these days (guilty of that myself)

I'll say that at this point in time, I'm buying Necrons and a lot of the deals are insane...I suppose some people don't like the new direction of the Necrons? Whatever the case, I'm finding some great deals!!

I've bought 3x Tomb Spyders - NiB - but I may end up getting rid of one; a good deal off of ebay. I'm personally pumped for the Lychguard...just wished that the Triarch Walker was available. :(

I think he wants to know if they have any new attachments. Like weapons and accessories.

This would be good to know.
Another question: Is there a broader hierarchy in a Necron army? In the current codes, there are no squad leaders. Eg.g, the new codex has Lieutenants for the Overlord.

My necrons will follow good old "Kill 'em all" pattern.

Very nice crons man! Gorgeous monolith : D

On a side note... if anyone has any tomb spyder or wraiths they find extra of.. or want to get rid of them.. I'm having a hard time finding them. : (

By the looks of it...no.

However, I guess you could say that the lords and Crypteks could be like Squad Leaders. They should have 1 or 2 wounds each, and they don't count as IC when they're in the squad.

dat freehand....

...I might have to hit you up on that when I take a look at the Codex. On a impulse I bought 3x Tomb Spyder and have a feeling I may not need that many...but I also like the models anyway.

Loving the armies, Morathi I love you color scheme. Swara, it is sort of hard to see but did you paint "lightning" in the gauss rifles? It looks great

And Fan67 those might be the best painted necrons I have ever seen. The free hand bullet holes and the C'tan on the monolith my god. Simply Gorgeous.

I took the easy route and spray painted mine gold then added the sickly green color. This worked great when we only had a few different unit types. But with the upcoming lychguard and such I am struggling to think of another color to add to help distinguish various "elite" units. I am thinking going white "life jacket" style on their rib cages.

Hey I don't know if anyone asked this but, does anyone have an idea when the release date is?

Nov 5th, supposedly

Ok. Hopefully they will be released in time for the next doubles tournament rolls around here.

Super impressed with that Monolith i also love the color thats what i wanted to do was make it look like a old pyrimad you sir are good

OT Looking forward to the twinlinked meltas or anything else new and twin linked always wanted something with that for my necrons

So i can take 5 Crypteks per HQ overlord...that means 10 Crypteks in total-if I make them all to fire that S8 weapon what would be the point cost...that is very important
Also- you should put them into units so you can shoot at more targets

Admech players would love Deathmarker's head for their worker drones.

I think you can only take one type of discipline per cryptek in a court. So you can't have 5 guys in the same court with the S8 weapon. You can have 1 guy (2 if you take 2 overlords), but not 10.

Assuming they are into Protoss.

Yeah I started a "Night/Lightning style a while ago. And yeah, Fan's crons are sick.

It's wargear that can't be shared within the same court for Crypteks, not the disciplines. Yakface pointed that out specifically.

Isn't there only 2 pieces of gear available in each discipline though?

CthuluIsSpy wrote:Isn't there only 2 pieces of gear available in each discipline though?

You're not forced to take any of the wargear. You can take nothing, spread it between two crypteks or give it all to one. Which means you're free to get however many of the same disciplines you want, though you lose out on the wargear.

Two pieces of optional gear which are unique per court, but you also get to replace the Staff of Light, and that can be taken multiple times.

Great artworks on this page! Congrats to all! I am still thinking about my color scheme, I am waiting for the codex in order to maybe get a few new ideas to complement my own, before I start painting though...

Here's mine


I was going for a rusted out kind of look, going to be doing the worn & chipped paint look for the backs of my destroyers like Fan67 did, when I finally get around to em.

I wanna do a monolith that looks like it's made out of stone like an axtec pyramid.. dunno how though, haven't even thought about starting it yet...
