Not Sure if I can link to other Forum Boards, Sorry.

Judging by what is being said on Warseer, my decision to shelf my Necrons was a wise one.

Why?

After a long talk with Phil Kelly he told me that Mat Ward (Fantasy O&G & DoC)
got the Job to write the new Codex Necrons. :chrome:

Ever read the O&G army book? Its a joke.

Ahh man. Don't tell me that. Well; my missing necrontyr heart is keeping hope alive.

Hell, fething Mat Ward. My heart bleeds for the Necrons, you guys are gonna get screwed.

Ever hear about how DoC is kicking everyone to the curb in fantasy and everyone is claiming it to be the most overpowered book ever. Yeah.

Looks more like hes done both ends of the spectrum so I reserve judgement until I have the codex in my hands.

Could be worse. It could be the only man on this earth who could actually leave the Necrons with less options than they currently have - Robin 'Arbitrary' Cruddance. His friends call him 'Arby'.

I want the new Necrons to come out so we can get plastic Heavy Destroyers. My Necron army is basically complete (I only want to get 4 more Destoryers and 4 more HDs), but I don't fancy more metal/plastic Hybrids. Another new tank could be cool as well.

Ahh Matt Ward.

Necron Players, Welcome to Limbo! You're Codex might kick ass, it might suck ass. Who knows? Matt Ward, that's who!

You think the current OnG is a joke? Go read the last one. I'd rather sit there and not do S**t rather than have my unit try to kill itself...

Is it one thing or everything bad about the O&G book? Any examples? How do the DoC fare?

Oh H.B.M.C., how I love you

I actually gave in and bought 3 Heavy Destroyers, mainly because I couldn't handle the steaming pile of terrible that is the Monolith.

I've heard rumors of a plastic Destroyer/Heavy Destroyer kit, where you have options for both.

lol the best thing Ive read in that thread over at warseer is the following:

.. and C.S. Goto was hired to rewrite the background
Necrons, forget about "We'll be back", you are toast! Enjoy the time the current Codex lasts

So ... I guess we can forget about Nec fluff altogether if this is true.
What a frikkin sad night this is ... good lord.

All the news from the crapfest that seems to have been the german gd keep getting worse. Except for FW pics that is.

Necrons are now a long lost first-founding Marine chapter.

He also wrote the game breaking Daemons of Chaos book. So yea they will either be unbeatable or a horrible joke.

Yeah, it's bad news either way. Either they'll suck ass and no one will play them, or they'll be broken and no one will want to play against them.

But I had thought the Necron Dex was right around the corner?

If SW is next and Crons are at least a year+ away, what are the two other dex's coming in '10?

We'll be back will become something simple, army wide, and ridiculous. My money is on Invulnerable saves for all, or 2 wounds for everyone.

I loled and then shed a small tear afterwards. It could be true.
And theyre probably part of the Rhino/Razorback/Predator/LR-skating club "skeeters" as well

All of this just sounds terrible ... Goto Ward ... sheah, maybe Arkham after reading the new Nec dex

C.S. Multi-Lazor is doing the fluff?

That's awesome!

All Necrons will get MULTI-LAZORS now, and all Necron Lords will ride on top of Monoliths - even the ones with Destroy bodies!!!

And the Liths have special platform/balcony for that as well. Wohoooo
Im gonna sig some part of your post ... just havent decided which yet lol

Actually they said at the Chicago Gamesday that the Necron codex was further along than the DE one. I think Phil just stated who has been working on it. As well as leaving hints of fluff in various books. Like how a hand full of Souldrinker marines manage to defeat a Necron army spanning worlds. Apparently Necrons can't help themselves from jumping on lightning claws.

All I care about really is that SA is addressed once and for all as it pertains to WBB rolls. I promise not to argue that can of worms here. I will not mention it in this thread after this post.

Oh dear, does this mean that there's going to be Eldar torture/rape scenes as well?

This reminds me of the 'Rapecrons' story that popped up on 4chan a while ago. MY MIND BEARS A GREAT PAIN.

That is HILARIOUS! LOL

Lets hope that all we have been told is a lie.
Please let it be a lie ...

Ok, now I am scared.

*Begins packing Necrons in a big box*
Well i am not happy about this
not one bit

Some folks are saying his newer books are better and that the DoC army is bad ass. let me know.

What the devil is up with that wikipedia page? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassern_S._Goto) Why is it filled with "multi laser)?

jspyd3rx, from what I know, DoC is game breakingly amazing.

Like, head and shoulders above everything but maybe 1 or 2 armies.
