I love the fact that you can see all them standing in there. Makes since with the rumors of a crazy quantum shield dohiky.

Holy crap yes. That troop transport looks like those Combine-Trains from Half-Life 2 combined with the Trade Federation Transports from Star Wars.

THAT is a good model and I guess I won't do a crappy photoshop in its honor.

After the day I've had I needed a good laugh! Seriously the first model looks like a Necron version of the Enterprise's bidge. It has a Captain Kirk, what more could you ask for?
The second one looks like the Necron Lord is surfing. The two at the front look like those battle robots about to slug it out with each other.
Seriously these must be fakes!

I'm loving the designs and hope these are the real deal. I respect your opinion though, the design difinetly is different!

I especially love the 10 guns sticking out the side!

on the forum. Obviously

The second model is okay...I don't really like the warriors standing upright with the crossed arms. They look silly.

By the looks of it, it appears to be more of a gunship like thing than a transport, so that's ok.

Interesting design but the Necron pilots set me off a bit, I mean why would Necrons require pilots for their vehicles? I mean, I could see Necron gunners but its not that bad.

The biggest indicator someone is a loser is them complaining about 3d printers or piracy.

I like how the bladed guns from he side suggest oars as though the vehicle is 'rowed'. More reference to Egyptian nile barges.

guess the fluff must be trying to humanise them a bit more; like Tomb Kings. So they represent that on the models.

You can make out from the text that the green sphere above the pilot is for repairing stuff.

Quite possibly my most favourite post on Dakka ever!

The first vehicle looks alright, I'm thinking some sort of fast attack scout?

The second one looks very similar to the concept scotches we saw 6+ months ago, actually although I can only see the small pictures on my phone I'm gonna say it looks really nice. MechCrons anybody?

Curious why it looks like the Ghost Ark...flips? Is this maybe a variant, or does the model maybe have moveable parts (like LR doors)? I mean, I guess it's one way to disembark.

"As you know, the key to victory is the element of surprise......Surprise!" *Necron Lord dumps the contingent of Warriors out of the Ark onto their collective head*


Edit: o I see. Ghost Ark vs Doomsday Ark

Necrons getting new stuff cool, awesome, about time.
Flyer thing I am suspecting is special character lord, and the transport and variant looks a bit off for me. The necrons in the transport look cool though . Apparently they're out Nov 5th too.

The transport type thing looks amazing.

The other thing looks like utter garbage.

Most of the necron line is pretty cool as is so avoiding that weird hoverboard lord shouldn't be too hard.

nectarprime (and yakface) wrote:
Roll a D6 for every type of model (friend or enemy) that the special character killed that turn. On a 4+ all other models in combat of that type take a wound (armor/inv saves can be taken as normal).

Example: If the Necron character kills an Ork Slugga boy in close combat and got the 4+ roll, all other Slugga boyz in the same combat would take a wound, but NOT the nob (as he's a different type of model). Any Shoota boyz, for example, in the same combat would be unaffected as well. If he killed a marine and got the roll, all other marines would take a wound, but not the vet sgt, etc.



Clunky, but could possibly be used as an attempt to simulate a 'lightning arc' weapon that hits everything the same as its target.

My main question here is: are different models distinguished by profile or profile and equipment. So in the example above would all the marines get wounded except just the vet sgt or vet sgt and the aspecial and heavy weapons person.

If it is handled purely by profile, what of IG heavy weapons, they would throw in an aberration.

I cannot see why people cry 'salt' over this, I have no difficulty believing GW can write clumsy rules.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

Not sure if this needs to be said, but the Doomsday ark and the Ghost ark are in the same box.

That has to be a transport, the two different pictures show it in cargo mode and unloaded mode, apparently.

I too think the crossed arms warriors inside look quite silly. It's like they're all swearing their oaths for their Necron citizenship test.

As for the first model, it should be part of the Star Wars Galactic Senate along with Aun'va the Space Pope. I do quite like the model, but the dangling legs on the pilots look out of place, just like those on the GK Dreadknight.

Oh, and has anyone else noticed the disappearance of the Lego green rod bits from all the gauss weaponry? Hooray!

Very nice! this is stuff is making me happy indeed!

You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood.

Yeah, the second models' Trireme-Design is actually rather cool. It doesn't look silly.

Those two models, the Troop-Transport and the Big-Pewpew-Barge are probably the same boxed set. I guess if you build the Big-Pewpew Barge, you'll have several arm-crossed Necron parts. That would be rather cool for some conversions.

I like it!

If BOW going down is because of this leak... Im pissed...

When your ad campaign is finally shot down because you're to stingey to advertise until its a week or two out from release date then you as the marketing rep need to kicked in the face with a golf shoe...

Regardless of whether you are pursuiting legal action with an entirely different set of models... wake up wake up wake up
if Matthew Maconhegh had to pay fines for playing naked bongos in his house, then its time to pay the piper...

Digital Paparazzi... gotta love em

I am very impressed with the ark models, and can only hope that their stats are impressive to match... not overpowered...

Besides, the Knights blades flicker in anticipation for the battles to come...

Please don't attach images like this to Dakka.
