Souless killer? Flayed ones?

Nah to me the entire range of the models just had that souless killer look to them. no emotion at all. Slowly marching forward killing everything in the way.

The new fluff and new models make them distinctively less boring. Still not interested in actually starting them though. Even if I didn't have too many armies on my plate, there are too many other armies i'd start first.

I'm selling some forgeworld super heavies to fund my Necron purchase on the fifth. Based on wayland games' prices listed I plan to spend somewhere around $400 on release day, but should bring my army up into the 3000 point ranges, with what I already own and such.

Having had to recently buy a new laptop its going to be a no from me as well. Though the new fluff does interest me and I may end up with the codex one way or another.

Start? I think you mean dust off the existing ones and get some more! Maybe I'll actually complete my army this time.

I'll read the codex and think about it.
Played Necrons before but sold/traded them because I didn't enjoy playing with them and needed some money.
I kinda like the look of the new models, but there not my favourite and if new Chaos are coming out next summer I might just stick with Chaos until then and save up to more more (As many have already mentioned, lack of funds is also an issue....)

I scored an old school metal necron army, about 70 models, on ebay, and I've played them some, but i haven't done much modeling or painting with them... Now that the new models are on the way, I'm kind of excited to start swapping bits and making a unique looking army. Whether or not I'll play them depends on how good the codex is, I may just build the army out and let the dust start piling up again.

Is that when they are coming come?? if so;

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
the Matt Ward Treason and Plot,
I see no reason why Matt Ward's Treason should ever be forgot.

Start Necrons?

I already have Necrons.

Nope. I still have my Dark Eldar army to finish and Tomb King army to paint. Plus none of the models have blown me away.

Nicking my bros necron army as hes giving 40k up so that with the codex and a few of the new units will make a good army. LIke the sound of the new fluff and also the models

I doubt I will start necrons due to a lack of cash to buy them with, but I will be watching them. The new models look really cool.

Whats funny is due to the change in direction of fluff, those pink necrons make a bit more sense. Ah so that Lord's a nutter then.

As to the OP, yes, but not for me. Eldest lad picked Necrons as his first army, I'll be adding a good selection of these to his list for Christmas.

Boot sequence of the tomb world depends on the codex...

The undead may rise again..or keep standing on the shelf , looking menacingly.

My partners wanted to start crons for a while, but the existing range put them off

We're both erally liking some of the new models, and the expanded fluff takes them in an interesting direction. Ignoring the stale hyperbole of some i'm liking the general flavour of the new list - assuming the rumours are true Necrons will be able to perform some unique feats, and will hopefully drop the razorback spam armies off a cliff, never to return.

Sorely tempted due to the models and potential for a new army dynamic but current projects prohibit it. Perhaps in the NY after the dust has settled. Not keen on the snippets of lore change thats taken place however =/

I already started Necrons about 8 months ago and will certainly be buying the new models.

I'm very tempted to. But I'm stuck between the orks and the necrons. I always wanted orks but the necron stuff looked pretty cool. so i will have to wait and see what the community says about the new rules for them.

If I finish my renegades, demons and eldar by the time.. another Eldar book comes out then yes I'll start Necrons. I have pride in finishing projects

I want to.

Restricted by cash though, and I want to make sure my main army, DE, is largely painted first. I also an yo-yoing between wanting Tau and Necrons as my second army, and I already have some Tau. That said, if what the rumours are saying is true I'm really liking the new Necrons. Necrons were the first army that I wanted in 40k, but were put off by the lack of variety in models and weapons.

New models (except flayed ones), rumored new rules and even fluff sounds awesome to me, so yeah, I'm sold. That storm lord character sounds too cool not to use.

Yes, to add on to my "Avenging of Bellicas" 2014 AoP entry. But the new models are so awesome I might expand them anyway.

I have about 1500 points of necrons that I've never really used. I plan on picking up the new codex when it comes out, and, as time permits (I'm working through a bit of a modeling backlog) I'll likely add to my collection. I liked most of those leaked photos, though I really hope they don't get turned into yet another mechanized army. I've got an open mind about the new fluff: I suspect I won't be crazy about the end result, but I also think that the current Necron fluff is a bit underwhelming so I'm glad to see they're at least taking a crack at making them more interesting.

HELL YEAH I"M STARTING A 'CRON ARMY!

I was only turned off by 'crons at first because they were an old, crappy dex.....but sense their getting a new one....the galaxy is going to burn under my metal minions MWAHAHAHA

Basically, this.

I already have ideas for Necron armies. I may not be building an army right away, or even this year, but the Codex is a day one buy for me.
What do you think, The Silent King, Hahkem the Risen, or Khepra the Dawn Lord.

well yes, I have an old necron army gathering dust in the corner of my room.

Will it become my main army? No.
Will I buy stuff for it? Probably not.

Yes,

Well, I had some before, but after reading yaks reviews, I don't think I want to play monoliths at all anymore, so I will have to get almost all new stuff.

I love the new look.

I am intrigued by the new rules and aproach.

I do not think this will be an A list army, not good enough troops, and essentially no solution to the massive melee deficiency.

But so many awesome new models! Seems like a tougher dark Eldar army with flying skimmers and less stuff, and sucky in melee. Over generally stated of course, but looks awesome!
