This would kinda make sense after the whole War in Heaven and all.

The best part of the new Necron codex rumors is that they consider the Eldar their greatest foe, because it's nice for the Eldar to have some power in the fluff rather than being every new codex's chewtoy.

Then again, they also consider Orks an implacable foe because of their unpredictability, which is nice.

Argl, it already posted it when my inet died and now reposted it when i reopened the browser. Sorry :S

Sorry, don't know what happened there. Somehow my account made a repost...

I am not arguing, I am just asking what everybody opinion is... I actually love the new Necrons, they have more spirit now then before.

Then people shouldn't form opinions on FETHING RUMOURS. Things like this stick on the internet.

Myself and our resident Necron player are excited about the new fluff, we like the idea of the Lords having personalities and leading armies of mindless robots. It adds a little more character and allows the player a little more customization in their army, same as every other army out there.

Not even Dark Eldar. They're more similar to Craftworld Eldar now. Specifically Biel-Tan.

The new fluff puts them on the forces of order in the Galaxy alongside the Imperium, Tau, Eldar. The Tyranids/Orks/Dark Eldar/Chaos are the forces of disorder.

I shall withhold judgement until I read the Codex, but I have to say I'm not impressed so far. Though the Necrons' concept encompasses some decent ideas, its execution has always looked clumsy and tacked-on, and these retcons aren't going to change that.

The current codex has some problems but I thought it was very atmospheric. It was the main reason I ended up deciding to get into the hobby with Necrons recently.

I'm not so sure about how I feel about some of the rumors thus far but I'll hold out judgment until I have the new codex in my hands. I hope at least the Void Dragon fluff doesn't change too much.

To be honest, I'll be glad whatever we get for the necrons. I mean, I love the buggers, but having them be the UNSTOPPABLE race of UNSTOPPABLE robots UNSTOPPABLY being UNSTOPPABLE while they UNSTOPPABLY carry out mysterious and UNSTOPPABLE plans, well, it started to grate after a while.

I like the new fluff.

Shush....calm down man ( talking about nerd rage ). There are not rumors, but leaked info from new codex. Just like new model pictures and new army list.
I would be skeptic to if the codex is not like 2 weeks away from release.

The king of fanboys tells me to calm down, I'm shocked. I'm surprised you didn't accuse me of being a dirty chaos worshiper. It's also not nerd-rage, but your unfamiliarity with things like trolls and other internet phenomena, means you're excused this time.
Anyway, my point stands firm. The codex hasn't even been announced yet, and already people will form opinions on whether or not to buy the codex. Saying it sounds cool or not is fine, but giving an opinion that is apparently a finality, is idiotic.

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you don't get to cast stones there buddy. Your Tau threads are infamous for the amount of nerdrage you put into them.

Yes, it's leaked info from the new Codex...without proper context to put it in.

Just like new model pictures and new army list.

Absolutely nothing alike. Words require context to make the most sense, otherwise we'd just slap them together willynilly.

It's almost like we have a release date, set two weeks from now(November 5th).

Wow, talking about nerd rage and hate to... you really should take a cold beer and lay off for few days.
And swearing + big letters sounds like nerd rage to me.

It's really not. It's seemingly the only way to get a point across to you on Holly's Terra.

That was the past. I learned it's pointless to argue with things like that. + I didn't swear at all.

You are right, we will all see how solid this leak is in 2 weeks. If it's true you will own me a beer...

Continue really, I like people going down the road of persistence.
But anyway, I'll explain a little bit about "nerd-rage". It's this thing where people get really angry about things within the context of what could be said to be "nerdy". To give an example, Void_Dragon says something negative about the Imperium, Brother Coa spends two pages trolling, getting really angry because his faction has been insulted, and irrationally insulting Void_Dragon by calling him a "brain-dead zombie robot", because he likes Necrons. That's nerd-rage. My rage was normal rage, because sometimes I really can't take your willful ignorance.

You spelled 'holy' wrong in your location. People have pointed this out many times before.

Ironically, this is devolving into nerd-rage, bowing out before the faction specific insults start to fly.

Oh...good. Anyway I stooped doing that since all here are to "serious". And these rumors were posted by men from White Dwarf, that is solid enough to point out that rumors are at least 80% true.
And M.W. was writing it, I knew that he would fix them as hard as he can.

Wait, you're saying you stopped because others were too serious? Well that's just ridiculous.

You should then see our Facebook 40k group. My ranting is nothing compared toward there, it's all good fun. To bad people here are to serious.

No. Just.....no. It's blindingly obvious that you're trying brush things under the carpet by saying you weren't serious. You were being very serious in the cases I remember.

Then you are very bad in reading people.

Nah. You're trying to brush stuff under the carpet. Not fooling me though.

Coa needs a bigger broom.

Wow like two people have namedropped me in this thread.

I feel so special.

What's with all this nerd-rage? Clearly the Necrons are the coolest thing ever!

This codex will be awesome. Maybe the Necrons will use some tech tohelp the Emperor get back on his feet.

Nightbringer and Emperor brofist. Nice.
