Oh, oh, oh! Cool vid!
Anyways, I've got a question regarding the Lycheguard with Dispersion Shields.
They grant a 4++ yeah? So, in order to be able to redirect shot with the shield, you'd have to take the 4++ instead of the 3+, resulting in a worse save, but with the chance of redirecting..?
Isn't that a bit cruel, choosing between a 3+ and a 4++ with redirection?

I really couldn't care less to be honest. We already knew the Necrons were coming, that GW has just said so in a really mysterious video doesn't really change anything IMHO.
"It is the great irony of the Legiones Astartes: engineered to kill to achieve a victory of peace that they can then be no part of." - Roboute Guilliman
"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now." - Magnus the Red, to a statue of Leman Russ

We know. But now, Games Workshop employees at their storefronts can direct customers expressing an interest in Necrons to the site's "What's New?" and start building up hype.

A bunch of people on internet forums know. The majority of the player base is now receiving hints.
That aside, that video has me absolutely STOKED for getting the codex, the new fluff seems to make sense with that one line.

Order. Unity. Obedience.
I know! That's what makes me excited!
There was some talk earlier about the Necrons not being ordered, since they are bunch of independent kingdoms now, and that got me very worried.
That one line got rid of my fears.
This release will be epic!

I was reading through the equivalent thread on Warseer, and Bramgaunt was making a lot of references to some rules that will make more sense in 6th, like The Deathmarks, and Preferred Enemy on the Destroyers.

Well, the teaser certainly did sound like it could be either. . and if you look at that symbol closely as it flashes:
It does look a lot like:
And now I am very very worried.
Thank you for that
I wouldn't be too worried, as it mostly looks like the pseudo-ankh that the necrons have everywhere. It only really looks like the craftworld emblem if you've recently suffered a severe head injury.

How about weapons which ignore armour?
Then you use your invun, and get the redirect as a bonus.

No, I think he wants to know that if you get hit by a weapon that DOESN'T ignore armor (like bolters), will he have to take the 4++ save to redirect.
I think you are still allowed to use the 3+ and redirect, since it says "saved wounds" and doesn't specify.

Yes, that's exactly what I wondered! And I hope you're right on the question too! ^^
