I hope this is true...

I have NiB Necrons waiting for a decent ruleset...

Rending would be better, but again, falls into the category of messing with infantry. Which is unlikely to happen : /

That is the case in a fandex doign the rounds in the Proposed Rules forum.

A Lord can become a Wraith, Flayer, Destroyer or Immortal Lord. By doing this the associated units then become scoring. PLus the Wraith Lord gets all the Wraith saves (3++) and can still take a warscythe. SWEET!!!

That would be an awesome progression and an excellent way to start off a huge Necron based campaign, the only army that I have seen do a real progression was the Tau going from Codex: Tau to Codex: Tau Empire. I think they need to do this more often with Zeno forces, show some actual change in what is happening rather than the usual "Yeah were the same, we just decided to build a few extra tanks and change how we field some classic units"

I love the idea of static or stagnant fluff for the IoM and progressive fluff for Xenos.

I'm really dying to see what they do with Necrons... I wish this GK release would hurry and end. It's another SM release, what is there to advertise?

I'm hoping Necrons, like Dark Eldar, become a winning xenos army. Take it away Charlie Sheen!

It would really be nice to finally have our codex update. However that does mean we're going to have to clean out our wallets again. Dagnabit!

True enough. Start saving.

You've had 10 years to save. You should have plenty available.

Gamer ADD took care of that for me, but my current crons are almost codex-complete I need a few odds and sods, plus whatever new shiny toys they put out

I'm going to say October. Stick Monkey had a post along the lines of "The dead will rise when souls come out to play". Strongly seems to say end of October around Halloween.

My Army is pretty limited. I got a decent amoutn of warriors and then one minimum sized unit of everything to see how i liked it.

i think my pariahs havbe been out of my case once.

About the same here. Until they get a rewrite they will be hugging foam...

Blood of Kittens has left a cryptic response to the question regarding the new Necron Codex:

"Smart cookie, looks to be when the leaves turn color."

So I would put another pin on the Calender for October. Wish it was sooner but this year is nice.

Honestly, after having a look over the GK codex in detail, I could care less if our fluff goes out the window as hot damn Matt Ward really makes up crazy good rules.

I would wait a few months to see how the army preforms, before making that judgment. Things that look good on paper, do not always apply well in the game.


Still, I'd be kind of surprised if he really is writing it, that would be two codexs in a row now, which seems a bit usual.

Even so, when he writes something, there are options out the window. As Necrons go, that is just unknown to us aside playing other armies so that is already something to get excited over. I just want my little metal loves to get the proper treatment they deserve, they've endured 5th Ed long enough with 2 hands behind their back it's time to sucker punch some people.

To be honest i dont want TOO many options for necrons. it would ruin the uniform look of the army which is on eof the main points of it.

or if there are options, i would prefer they be for the entire squad to maintain uniformity (ex: entire quad may replace Gauss flayer with ..... for X points).

The only exception to this i can think of is that i woudl prefer H.Destroyers to be an upgrade to a Destroyer squad.

Is there any news on a new heavy support for the necrons

Was hearing rumours about a supposed monsterous creature in the Necrons

Tomb Stalker?

I found my true love

here are the experimental rules if you're interested:

Dang, it says(not garanteed) that it counts as a heavy support. That makes it more awesome

Yup, its purty.

Praxiss wrote:Yup, its purty.

What force you control?

I think that it's almost guaranteed that the Tomb Stalker will be Joining us in our New Codex. Not to mention those rules for it are pretty awesome, and would really give some punch to the Necron Army.

I wonder if we are going to end up seeing a lot more MC, in the New Codex? I think we can Guarantee Tomb Spyders/Stalkers, But I wounder if there are going to be any others.

i dont know....wasn't there some kind of necron super heavy in Epic? I want to say Tomb Hold but dont think that's right.

That would be cool to see a Necron Titan

Were there ever Epic Necrons? I've never heard of them, but I'm not hugely up to date with Epic...

No, can't find anythgin no either. I think i read somethgin about a giant necron titan-esque thing........I think it was actualyl called a Tomb Stalker.

Anyone aware of anything like that in Necron fluff? All the mentions i have seen seem to relate to a big spider like thing.

If this is so then maybe the FW Tomb Stalker is the fist wave of fluff retcon?




***EDIT

Foudn something. THIS sketch with a little bit of text underneath:





"For all we know, there are no Necron Titans in the Warhammer 40K world. A little bit ago, a really observant person noticed in a book there was a mention of a great Necron Titan, the Tomb Stalker. There is only ONE concept drawing on the internet, so I had to go off that. So, my fellow Necrons, I want to tell you how to make such a wonderful model, complete with stats."





heres a link to the page if anybody wants to read the instructions to make one, bear in mind the rules listed at this link are ridiculous!!

The only thing I ever heard for a fluff on a Necron Titan was something that looked like a enormous Tomb Spyder with two giant gauss cannons
