Oh no wait. Of course they won't. This is Dakka.

Nah, why did he claim it was a hoax if he didn't want a negative reaction? Most people gave him the benefit of the doubt until he wrote a post saying "ha ha, I just hoaxed you suckers" or whatever.

Long story, and no need for apologies.

Ah, yes that's true. This reminds me of the carnifex of necrons. Not exactly a Trygon though. Not enough awesome

As I said in the other thread - it is the best looking Necron model I have seen (not that it is hard ).

Really like the model - looks good.

I think it looks great. I'd love to get one if i didn't have 100 other projects going on. If it gets added to the codex officially I might get one though when the time comes

You know, $59 USD for one of these isn't too bad of a price for a stupidly complex resin model. Perhaps it's just the GW-prices that are making me think this way.

That is a cool model, definetly the creative drive the necrons need.

Must...have...

£36 seems like a bargain. Wonder if all the legs are jointed (so you can repose easily) or if they are one piece casts?

NOBODY MOVE! She was wearing clothes?

Anyway. Still don't like it. I thought that like the Venomthrope and White Lions, if I looked at it for long enough I'd like it. Alas, no.

Er why is the necron thing £36 and the mega grot tank £62, the mgt doesn't look that big.

More parts I guess.

Am I the only one that noticed that both of these are GD UK ONLY!? Way to go FW, make stuff that people are interested in but can't buy because they are exclusive to a con that only a few thousand people can attend.

I'm sure it's just for their initial release (ie. the first run of casts). Once GDUK is over they'll go up for general sale.

I think that might be that they will only have limited numbers available at the con - not that they won't be generally available afterwards.

That's my understanding too.

Considering that the phrase used was "exclusively available at GD UK" Im not so sure.

Side note, I just recieved ANOTHER FW Newsletter... the subject? WARHAMMER FORGE!!!

The Grot Super Tank says that, and it might well be Limited Edition for the moment. If they sell out in the first 10 seconds, then they might make more. If they have several still sitting in their bags by the end, don't expect to see any more.

Oh man, that thing is pure awesome. It screams Necron if you really look at the details. Everyone keeps saying "it looks tyranidy". What? The back plates all look as if they were taken off of Immortals, and then overlapped. The head will look so good if given to a painter who can make it look like the eyes are glowing red a la Matrix robots, and the "maw" should be unholy/unearthly green or blue. That thing exudes robotic win, and I can only hope that the necrons get less skeletony and more evil roboty. They are super easy to paint now, but retardedly short on character. In deficit in fact, as Games Workshop made me mail in some of my own character when I made them one of my armies back in 2003.

And who doesn't love the first picture, with the guy pointing at the base, obviously saying "Hey, that f-ing robot thing just digested Ted out his rear aperture!"

The crab claws around the face are actually one of the best features. It should be able to roll into a ball like a rolly polly, and just roll around the battle field and shoot with land raider toughness. It will be terrible to put together, and you can't transport that thing, and heaven forbid a piece is damaged in its mailing to you. Then you'll have a gimp millipede as FW is the opposite of customer friendly. But, still Win for me, that thing is awesome.

The phrase was used in reference to pre-releases. So get it at the GD, or wait and get it later.

Must....have..Tomb Stalker.


Those rules lok awesome!! My Necrons might actually get soem game time!!!!

I KNEW IT! Mystery, my apologies for previous remarks but as a Necron player who has been toyed around with my faith has been shaken. Getting at least 1 when it launches.

I bloody hope so as I want that Badab IA book!!

This model looks great. A cool direction for Necrons would be more of these robot insects - scarabs are cool and those stupid spider things have the potential to be cool too. If I was a Necron player I would be very excited. Robotic Praying Mantises had better replace those awful Destroyer models in the next Codex. Man, I should get a job in the design department.

It's certainly good to see them get some moderately sized stuff to go alongside troops. There's only the monolith and that huge whatsit from Forgeworld and little inbetween.

Well hot darn. Something that fills a nitch that the Necrons need badly. If something like this shows up in the new codex Necrons could actually have a decent counter-attack model to keep all their stuff from dying. I mean even TH/SS only hit on 4+ and wound on 3+. I think they're friggin amazing! And I like the model.

Lol, need to go slightly off topic to start with and say gratz to mystery for this
I left the thread well alone, so ive done nothing wrong for once.


Ok, moving back onto the topic at hand.

Grot tank - Do i even need to post my thoughts about this?
Anything "Grot" is like the invention of sliced bread to me, all over again.


Tomb stalker - Soo glad i have crons
Might have to add 1 or 3 to the army, and at thier price, they are more than cheap.

I apologize to Mr. Mystery for calling his postings a hoax.

PS anyone going that is willing to buy one of these for me? I'd love to surprise my friends with popping this out.

Dude, I called them a hoax.

No need for apologies!

A+ FW, but I wouldn't buy it unless it came assembeled.

Yeah, but you, uh, had little choice. I hope things worked out.

Wonder how 3 of these would work with a C'tan in a list?
Seems like nids no longer have the most irritating heavy support beast

And price wise, slightly cheaper than Monononononnliths....
