I'd like to see Pariahs become Veteran Sergeants

I'd be disapointed to see Phase Out and WBB disapear. GW is disapointing me more and more with blah-ness. I don't think they understand why Privateer Press games are so much more fun.

But oh well.

That said I _have_ made a cool Chaos list with the new 'dex.

Actually Andy Chambers wrote BFG.

BTW, what is FNP and SAP?

JF

Good god youre right. I just checked it and it says that Jervis and Gav cowrote it.

Nevermind, string the bastard up by his toes. Let him hang from the gibbet.

What GamesDay did you hear this at? There haven't been any real rumors of Necrons that I'm aware of unless this just came out of the German GD, which this would be the first hearing of it.

Thats because these arent new rumours, This is crap shelled out from warseer in the past few months.

In short, mez is phishing for new rumours and the internet is now abuzz with what they think is new rumours, which is just a regurgitation of what he saw (as well as I) on warseer a while back.

Read this carefully again, its clearly phishing.

Has anyone goto GamesDay and hear additional rumors besides those below for the upcoming Necron release in 2008?

See?

You can all stop the wishlisting people and look elsewhere. This was a truly false alarm.

Not every army needs to be super customizable.

Well pretty soon, NO army is going to be super customizable. Those days seem to be over (See: BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!)

I don't buy much of this. Green Skins aren't even finished + 3 month rule = this is WAY to early to be talking about this. Not to mention that it's the elites who get the super treatment (customizable/plentiful) not HS.

**Reecius**

If those rumors on warseer are true, and Warriors and Immortals are getting +1 toughness and FNP, that will be miles better than what they have now. SAP would blow becuase the army would move so dang slow, but a Lith or two can fix that.

I would hope though, that they did include some new units and that they would make the tomb spide a less craptastic model. that thing had potential to be awesome.

Lordhat:

This is not only a good way to lose your source, but a good way for your source to lose his job and get sued on top of it. ANY source that's valid has signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement, and G.W. is serious about those. I have a couple sources somewhere near or in the top of the hierarchy here in the states, and I would NEVER jeapordize their jobs by posting their names.

"I heard it from a guy in the studio" is hardly going to get anyone caught. Also, didn't I specifically say I wasn't talking about naming names? L2r plox.

Hellfury, thank god someone realises how absurd this whole discussion is.

The new rules sound like utter crap. slowed kSons at best.

**Jester**

I hope they make a rule where you have to have a vortex grenade marker for every unit in the army; these represent the Necrons teleporting in.

The player must also hum the opening of the title song from The Terminator whilst his opponent sets up his army.

So am I supposed to give him my password now?

**Reecius**

The new rules sound like utter crap. slowed kSons at best.

You honestlythink so? FNP is the exact same thing as WBB except it occurs immediately as opposed to a turn later. it is better. plus, an increase in toughness would make the stupid crons even harder to kill.

SAP would be lame though, moving a squad 1" a few times would get so annoying.

**Green Bloater**

As far I know you will not be able to ROB FNP.

Doesn't all Necron Players do that anyway?

**Brother Bundu**

sometimes we prefer to snoopy dance :-)

**Lormax**

**Squig_herder**

I hoipe necron lord become more customisable and more person looking, with model upgrades for troops. I hope they keep most of the rules, especially phase out and living metal as it is the esence of the necrons and what we all fear, but the points need a slight increase

PP games are skirmish games, not army games. Each model can have more depth when there are fewer of them to deal with.

You're comparing apples to oranges.

**Destrado**

This thread has the WBB special rule. Someone just forgot to roll the dice.

BTW where's Jester?

**Lorek**

The thread's long dead, people. Let it go.

(And thank you, Lormax!).
