I know we all know that Necrons are close. I was told by my GW sales representive today not to order any new Necron Models for stock and they are all ATO. I of cource asked if he could elaborate and of course he could not confirm not deny they would be releasing new Necron models or a codex. Last time He told me something like this 3 months later the Grey Knight Codex and Models were release. Just passing along the info I find out not sure if this was already posted or not.

Not to say you didn't hear what you heard, but with the practically confirmed WD dex for Sister's coming out in August-ish, the rumors have put the release in November-ish. Now, maybe GW will have both the Necrons codex and Sisters WD dex. I mean, there is nothing that 100% says this can't happen, but this would seem very weird, imo.

I know this, I was just saying what has happened in the past. but if my memory serves me correct they release a WFB army book the same month the Blood Angels WD dex came out a while ago

It's a White Dwarf dex that probably won't have any new model releases. I don't see how this would compete with a new Necron codex. Perhaps if they release the SoB core troops in finecost?

Well, let's just hope that it happens. I'd rather your source be correct, in all honesty, but this places negativity has seeped into this once optimistic soul.

Considering what we KNOW is coming, Necrons might be out in November, but I'm thinking January/February might be more realistic...

Either way, GW isn't getting any more of my money until they come out.

First I get all excited when I heard Necrons were gonna be out this summer. Later I get told to expect them in August. When the Sisters WD came to light, it was moved to around August. Now, I get January/February? Lets just say they will come out "later" and not ask questions...

If they released them both at the same time they could release Sanctuary 101, the board game at the same time

I think it would be an awesome spinoff to space hulk, with sisters and Necrons hunting each other through the sanctuary

Don't see it happening, but who knows

sounds great!

I would hardly call this confirmed, since this is one step better than "A red shirt told me" which is one step above "My uncle works at Nintendo and you can totally play as Luigi in Mario 64" - however, most speculation has been pointing towards late summer - autumn for the Necrons, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Well we will see, but this is far from confirmed.

Since July 2002, so 8 years til next month. We'll get them when GW says so, which will be through White Dwarf.

If they are next I will be extremely suprised if we don't get them Sept-Nov of this year, there has been at least 2 WH 40k codexes released each year for the last 10 years at least 1 in the 1st half of the year and at least one in the 2nd. Only once in the last 10 years has the 2nd half codex not been released between Sept-Nov and that ironically was the last Necron Codex released in July of 02.

I got all excited when I saw this subject line, too.


Sigh.

A combo release of pt1 SoB via WDorf, and a bonafide codex Necrons in august with a sept pt2 SoB, seems reasonable and maintains the standard pattern... it also let's them get a chance to reup Tau before the looming 6th ed hammer falls.

As said, a speculative conclusion starting from a redshirt statement is not a confirmation. But November, sounds good according to current rumours.

November would mean we could get a preview of them at GD : Uk.

Then what is going to take up the next 40k release slot?

I refuse to believe GW will make them SOB even if they do get finecast ( still same old models )

I will have to keep an eye out for any sneaky necron stuff at GD.

November earliest from what we have seen, if white dwarf is THE source and THE source says august is sisters of battle and vampire counts wave (if I recall correctly) then I guess thats what we have to believe. It is next to impossible necrons will come at the same time considering GW's opinion that us seeing a dark eldar vehicle several weeks earlier detracted from other dark eldar sales (a debate for another time of course). The games day UK idea of introducing the new necrons sounds plausible too.

Red shirts caught red handed telling lies again I see...

Oh, snap. I just saw it. Well done, well done.

If you do what I do and just believe the opposite of what gw employee's say you'll never be deceived.

b-b-b-b-but.... Tau?

*sigh* Maybe next year.

Tau have had 2 codexes since necrons were released. I'm not too broken up if they have a little longer to wait..

Of course if we could let SM languish in obscurity for 10 years and update the other codexes instead of redoing their codex with every edition...

True. But the Necron codex wasn't the bag of hammers that that Tau release codex was. Codex: Tau Empire was an absolute necessity.

Now I will agree, that the Necrons need it more. I'm just saying that if the Necrons get pushed back because of Sisters, than Tau, by all logic, get pushed back as well.

Ok, that one i'll give you. They really did drop the ball with the original Tau codex..


I'm just a little tired of reading Necron Codex Soooon !!!!! threads. I've been reading them for 4 years or so now, and guess what, no new codex...

I'm hoping Sisters don't push anything back still more.

I'm going to try and avoid getting my hopes up until i see a Necron on the cover of WD.
