What do you all think?

I think that's some terrible Photoshopping.

The barge? But where did they get the picture?

Nice catch!

Cannot say I'm a fan however, it just doesn't look right to me, particularly the 'pilots'...

Im not really a fan of this vehicle either. Why would they have a necron lord riding it? (Maybe thats the new pariah?) It doesnt make much sense unless this is a special character, otherwise Im willing to bet its a light armor vehicle of
somekind like the necron version of the Dark Eldar venom, if this is not a troll pic.

Hah, yes. Correct on all five counts.

If I had to make a wild shot in the dark, we'll find out that is some kind of "command" vehicle which allows for teleportation/Veil of Darkness shenanigans.

Two new named-characters:



"We'll Be Back" is now "One More Time"

I actually like it. Definately beats the Chibihawk or Mr. Noodles (Venomthrope).

Stop stealing my jokes, Manchu. I will file a C&D!

Easy conversion with the 'faceless' Dark Eldar head and a 3rd party Cylon head.

You don't even need a third party Cylon head.

Generic Necron head and the goggle insert for a Sniper Scout.

Stealing your jokes?

For what purpose? My jokes are HARDER, BETTER, FASTER, STRONGER -- which coincidentally is the new rule replacing Phase Out.

I hate you so much right now, Manchu.

I wonder if this means we'll see the "Big Announcement" this weekend or Monday now that the cat's outta the bag.

You know, I actually don't mind it that much. At first the pilots were a bit jarring, but then I remembered that fluffwise, the necrons were once an organic race, so it does make sense that some of that old technology would cross over some what. It also might give some hints as to what the new fluff will be; maybe they're starting to remember their old lives, which does make the whole ting a bit creepier.

Gameplay and hobbywise, I'm just happy for a new unit.

Yeah I just nerdsploded too. Can't wait for this release!

Geez....... us.

Both those things are hideous. Exceptionally bad photoshopping in the destroyer one especially.

I generally don't hang out in this section much, but I was pleasantly surprised by Manchu's delightful Daft Punk references.

It's actually a great idea for a conversion.

Anyway, I have to agree that this is simply a bogus photoshop.

Necron Carnival! Man what a bad model.

I don't know why but it looks like necrons looted Talos pain engine thing?

anyway I like it. if it was a necron with a cape and superman pose it would still be cooler than Mephiston or w/e that popped collar fool is called.

Not that impressed with... whatever that is. But at least the Necrons will look the same for the most part. That worried me for a while.

I think it's the real thing (a shame IMHO), the picture quality is a lot like the photos/scans of WD that often get released and you can see the BoW grey text in the background cuts off in some of the white gaps in within the model, where it's presumably just been cropped from the magazine.
A lot of it looks completely new, but in-line with GW designs and the Necron range, whilst very little of it looks like existing models just copied and pasted.

If it's a fake, I'd be VERY surprised...

I think the most worrying and tragic part is that some people are taking these so-called models seriously. Seriously?

What is that thing? AV8 open topped? Good luck figuring out the front/side/rear arcs.

It has a nice Necron feel but it's just too small and compact like a mini cooper. I'd probably convert some crescent wings to make it bigger. Nevertheless it's a nice one, thanks for the pic Swara.

You know the Mephiston model came out in the 90's right? And people still buy it right?

Does it look to anyone else that in the last picture someone took a Necron cruser from BFG, a Lord, and some painted bits and photoshopped it all together?

Heard at GW headquarters:

"What the heck are we going to do with the 'crons?"

"Lets just put all the bits from all the old units we have in a box and call it a Flying Pulse Scorpo Lord Shooter Thing."

"BRILLIANT"

Um, link to the pic is broken. Anyone happen to download it and can repost in a Dakka gallery?

Did you place [img] at either end of it?

That second one WAS shopped, pretty sure that was the joke.

Beasts of War seems to be down. I think we broke their site with traffic.
