If C'tan are removed from codex, would be C'tan models useful or will be gathering the dust on the shelf? Feel free to tell me what is total b**** in that summary.

**Sgt.Roadkill**

doesn't this tweaking of will be back is contrary to everything we've heard of its replacement with FnP or is that just me?

**Azure**

Is this interpretation or actual rumors? Some of it sounds cool but again I point out at the end, Necrons already have a Pylon model complete with rules. Check FW

**Jordankeeps**

Remember its all rumors nothing is 100%

**Kid_Kyoto**

The Silent King makes Blood Angels troops.

**Jordankeeps**

Haha awsome pic!

**Just Dave**

What does FoD stand for?

Also, mind if I ask what your source is/how reliable (1-10) you'd say this is?

They sound fairly reasonable, but also very rough as far as I can tell, so they don't really add too much IMHO. Except for the special characters. C'tan being dropped seems to go along with many things we've heard...

**MadCowCrazy**

These rumours are from warseer from someone who compiled them. Everything with FoD next to it is just the posters own interpretation of things that has been posted or things from the book Fall of Damnos.

So everything with FoD next to it shouldn't be taken serious because it's not from a reliable rumours poster, it's just the posters own interpretations.

I heard that necron warriors are going to be 8 points each.....

**bthom37**

Pael wrote:I heard that necron warriors are going to be 8 points each.....

A) that thread was locked for being unreliable
B) Even the OP in that thread said he misquoted, that they were still 18 points each

**automatonsleuth**

Not to mention coming with a heavy flamer, rending multimulta and Necrofists, which could also be upgraded to a single Necrozweihander.
Sorry? Wait, no Matt Ward?

**Ctan_Overlord**

These rumors sound good. Hopefully the Necromancer is a real thing, it sounds awesome

**Kanluwen**

Ctan_Overlord wrote:These rumors sound good. Hopefully the Necromancer is a real thing, it sounds awesome

Considering that every other rumor posted by "Jordankeeps" has been April Fool's jokes...

I'd say the chances of anything being "real" are so slim they might fall into the cracks.

**pretre**

So 90% of this rumor is someone reading Fall of Damnos and applying that to a new codex?

Umm, yeah...

Also, can we go 5 minutes without a Ward hate thread?

**Kurgash**

**Laughing God**

I honestly hope the new Necron codex is the most OP cheese ball GW's put out in the last 5 year. It will amuse me to see all those necron players who were mocked and ridiculed over the past few years for playing "the worst army in 40k" shooting all those IG and space puppies in the face with guass flayers.

IMO

**Ouze**

So, I've noticed since the Necron rumors started, either there are a lot more Necron posters on Dakka, or they're all coming out of the woodwork; which do you think it is? Either way it's awesome.

**Kanluwen**

I think it's the sign of a bandwagon being formed.

What's red - someone posting about how Games Workshop totally ripped off Blizzard for most of their ideas, such as Warcraft? (cause they did, btw)

Excuse me but there is a Mr. Tolkien and a Mr. Gygax here to see you...

Assuming that wasn't facetious or just trolling, it's totally the other way around. Warhammer long pre-dates Warcraft.

**stalkerzero**

The idea of any sci-fi or fantasy company ripping off another is so funny.

If you really want to go deeper the middle ages called and are now suing for intellectual property infringement.

Red is reserved for those truly sacrilegious acts that demand a blood sacrifice as appeasement. For example;

Swing and a miss.

The whole point of that statement is that it is wrong. Hence it would start a red level nerd rage.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
So, can I start a new rumor thread just like this?

New SOB Rumors:

There will be the following squads:
Sisters - Possible Plastics
Celestians - Possible Plastics
Dominions - Possible Plastics
Seraphim - No new models
New Unit(s) - Zealots/Militia, Some new plastic kit
Large Plastic Kit - Possible new vehicle

HQ will be at least:
Canoness - No new model
Palatine - No new model

Rules:
Some sort of faith based rules will be involved.
Characters will be available to make different units count as troops.
At least one ecclesiarchy character.

There! Look, I'm the freaking Nostradamus of Dakka (or just jordankeeps).

**Miraclefish**

He made a funny. Posting incorrect statements often winds up hobbyists.

A la..

**Guildsman**

So, let me get this straight. This thread adds no new information, the source is extremely unreliable, and almost all new details are the poster's own imaginings based on a black library novel.

Why is this thread still unlocked?

**Kilkrazy**

Because I was busy making more Termagants for Hive Fleet Kielbasa.
