Man, all of this stuff looks pretty awesome...here's hoping the rules for these units are as good...i hate it when cool models are not really worth taking very often in the actual game (Dreadknights, for example...).

All looks pretty cool. Building a second barge variant just by turning it upside down is a bit meh.

It looks like I might be able to magnetize them though so I could use either in a game, that would be nice.

But one variant has the 'hold' full of necrons and the other has a spinal mount type weapon. You might be able to flip the ribs up or down, but the detail might be lacking.

Necron Deathmark Snipers FTW!

I'm gonna be poor in Novemeber, but heck who needs food and gas and electricity when I've got a new army to paint

The Deathmarks look excellent. Best thing we've seen yet IMO.

Also, still hard to judge, but in the Deathmark photo it does look like it's still an actual rod. Still can't determine if those rings are texture or paintjob, but eh...I guess I'm fine either way. I don't really want to replace anymore Necron stuff than I have to...(except Immortals. And Tomb Spyders. Good riddance to both.)

Deathmarks sealed the deal.

Going to have to look into selling some stuff now...

Looks like those Gause cannons look like they do have rods in them.

The deathmarks look absolutely beautiful...

deathmarks - definitely hawt

ark transport / shooty ark - the longer i watch, the better it looks

Special Char flying thingy - meh... whats going on lately with all those baby-carrier-ish pilot look alikes,
ruined already dreadnight model.

So that'll be the transport and anti-tank roles filled?

Glad to see we're sticking loyal to current edition spam.....

I'm not liking the new Necrons. They look more like Space Marine poses, rather than their own.

These vehicles and the snipers go totally against the previous aesthetic of the necrons. They're just robot tomb kings now. I hope they drop the war in heaven aspect and the whole thing about them being the most advanced race in the galaxy. Otherwise these models are going to be totally innapropriate.


Also that necron fork lift with the two pilots is idiotic. Why would a robot, piloting a robot car need a special eyepiece so that he could see the touchscreen and trackball that he's using? Why is any of that needed? Who the feth is designing this gak? This release has me totally unimpressed and these models have killed my excitement for the line. These are the most saturday-morning-cartoon-like designs GW has produced since the old DE.

I don't know, but I agree. This is a total left turn for the worst for the Necron army. It used to be a joke about "Space Tomb Kings" but now it's reality.

GW really ballsed it up.

I think they look great. Can't wait to see them in person, and I'm excited for Necrons to actually have a competitive codex.

All rumors pointed to that.

Remember ? "No surprise here, but Necron are basically Tomb Kings in space."

The Deathmarks are everything I ever wanted necrons to be, and so much more..

What do you want? a block that has 14 armor on all sides? if those pilots were not there people would prob be making surfing on croissant jokes.

what if it had no necron models? people would say its boring looking.

Did any one get a chance to look at the video reference in this link or get a screen? they claim there is a new Megalith Kit.

Looks good to me. I'm not sure where the drastic left turn from the previous aesthetic is. The arc thing clearly incorporates elements that are similar to parts of the Destroyer and Monolith.

This stuff being leaked on BoW just makes GW look ridiculous though. GW...you have a website. You could have been getting traffic to that site weeks ago by previewing this stuff yourself. It's 2011 and you're using print media as your marketing flagship.

It's an old April Fools joke. Pay no attention to it.

I agree to a large extent. If the Necrons have been retconned sufficiently, it could still work. But with the fluff as is, the new models do not match what has been written.

New special characters:

And some Overlords:

The one on the right looks meh, but the left looks great. The only good looking thing in the range so far.

Mmm, chunky.

Looks like the one on the right has his Tau and Eldar Horrible Murder merit badges.

WoW, love them again! I love the detail and style they are giving them!

But why are they bad looking tomb kings in space? Tomb kings are cool because they are literally mummies. Those things exist. These are cthulu esque multi million year old dimensional gods pretending to be robots now pretending to be mummies in their nile surfing reed boats and holding 90's rob liefield tubeguns.

Good lord these are brutal! Im loving all of it! Cant wait to see the Crypteks!! Those lords and the Deathmarks ... pure hawtness

Ok, that one on the left is pretty sick.
I guess Lords have retained some personality in the new background?

The chunky ones look pretty good. Not sure about the colour scheme, but good models.
