I was reading through my codexes the other day and for the first time i really read through the necron back story and fluff.
I've never really cared for Necron but for some reason after reading through there codex I'm starting to like them. I guess its because they give everyone the finger.

So i went about making a list and thinking about things i want to start buying when some googling told me there may be a new update to codex and new models comming out very soon.

As Implusive as I am when it comes to starting something new I was immediatley angered that I may have to wait to start my army

So question is: Does anyone know for sure when and what is comming out for necron?

Also: What could i start doing now to safely build parts of my army w/out the risk of newer models or rules making my new stuff obsolete?

This is the reason why GW needs to stop its secretive bs.

No.
No.
And Necron Warriors and Monoliths are likely to be the least changed.
Monoliths will probably still be the big silver mocking fortress tank thing.
Warriors will still likely be the core of your army hopefully with some other additions but IMO are unlikely to change that much visually.
That's as afar as i have thought to be perfectly honest.

There are some Necron vehicles mentioned in fluff that could be pretty awesome in an Apocalypse game (Abattoir & Eonic Orb), though I don't see them being introduced until an Imperial Armour book has the Necrons as the baddies.

Hopefully they do introduce the Obelisk for regular games at one point, but I don't see any new significant models coming out for their next codex. Warriors will still be the core, things won't change that dramatically.

Hopefully they get some kind of teleport mechanism to make up for their lack of transports...
or, they ditch the transports and Necrons can have a new playstyle entirely.

There is a thread all about Necron rumors.. check that aaaaaaaaaand we're done here.

I had an idea that they could have a transport system like this.


Monoliths are transports.

however, they have an unlimited carrying capacity and all go into the same pool.

a unit could enter one monolith and exit at another.

if a monolith is destroyed the units embarked could disembark at another one.



the idea is that the crons basically teliport back to the Tomb and can enter and exit through a portal to anyother monolith they have.


if all monoliths in a force are destroyed, the units embarked count as destroyed too(they are cut off from the battle)
