Okay, if anyone remembers when the necrons were taken off the UK site, you can forget all that.
I just looked and the entire model range is back!
No finecast, no new sculpts (still no codex) they're just back!
Soooooooooooooo...
Wtf kind of mind war is GW trying to pull on us?!?!

I doubt they're pulling anything tbh, i reckon they're clearing back stock of metal before all the new resin's come in.
it'd make sense tbh.

as each range gets updated i reckon we'll see the same thing happen.

(Anger builds inside ) They are probably just trying to get rid of as much stuff as they can (assuming most of the range is being redone) however if things just got repackaged and Necrons do not get a codex next month, I will not be a happy C'Tan

Don't know if you have read the Chapterhouse thread in General, but there is talk of Necrons being delayed til next year.

No, there isn't any mention of Necrons in any Chapterhouse thread.

As usual someone is reading into something thats completely pointless and drawing all kinds of conclusions... "Oh look! theres a shadow in a picture in the latest white dwarf that looks like a c´tan! that must mean that theres a new model on the way!"
Take a cold shower and stock up on patience. Stop tiring us all with stuff like this.

Stoll no codex GW's online lists, though.

No... no... NOOOOOO!!!! This cant be happening! I hope that this is not true. Ive been waiting for the new dex one year so another is too much!
Grrrrr....

Lol. C'mon, it's not as bad as chasing shadows (quite literally using your example). Just pointing out something semi-interesting. After all, GW refuses to do any such thing...

I don't know what's funnier, that you didn't see it, or that you posted it and didn't see it! I did actually check I wasn't misremembering before I posted.

Apparently you don't appreciate the purpose of a News & RUMORS forum.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate any new info about the necrons, but he's right actually. Let's face it, we have nothing, no leaked pages like GK, no conformation, no preview pictures of new models, nothing but silence from GW. So checking new rumors to find something little solid, but to get same wishful deal is kind of irritating.

Hmmm, I recommend you visit this link and click the big blue button. http://nooooooooooooooo.com/

Actually, to somewhat corroborate this rumor, I heard from someone I consider to be a reliable source that Necrons will be out in Jan or Feb 2012. So, yes, it would be next year, but considering that the rumors had been Oct-Nov, this is only a push of a few months.

This is possible, sure. But my question then would be: What is GW doing for their November release? I think it's assumed they'll put something out in November, right? Nothing is expected in December. If they don't do Necrons, then what? A Dreadfleet expansion: To Dread, or Dreadnought?

Just curious as to what else would step up to fill the void there.

Looking at Kroothawk's "Rumoured changes to GW release schedule because of Chapterhouse lawsuit" thread, I did a Ctrl-F for "Necron" and failed to find even a mention in each of the five pages.
I believe you're thinking Tyranids and/or Eldar, not Necrons.

Yea cause dark elder players know nothing of waiting just a year for an update that "should be next year" or "next year is the year of the elder" and so on.

Be patient. 'crons are being worked on. And if delayed it's to get things right. Based on the last 2 releases GW has made improvements in it's new release stuff. Ogres, o&g, de, GK .... They all got fairly decent models and codeci. However I don't think we will get anything concrete until the day before they are in stores.....

It isn't a matter of patience. It's more a matter of liking to know how to budget our money ahead of time.

They are mentioned in the Interesting 40k Rumours thread (http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/400759.page) by AesSedai, where it's stated that "I believe he mentioned 2 codexs to be released before 6th. One was Necrons and the other was either Dark Angels or Eldar." Considering that 6th is rumored to be released next summer, and we started seeing Necron rumors earlier than the recent Eldar rumors, I think it's a pretty fair guess to believe that in the 6 months leading up to summer we'll have Necrons in early 2012, Eldar in spring 2012, then 6th hitting in the summer.

Of course GW will release the Necrons before Christmas or DECEMBER, It is the biggest spending period of the year. They would be stupid not to.

GW doesn't release anything in December except the "holiday" color figure cases and stuff like that.

Hence the reason I put "Before Christmas" people don't just buy presents in December.

November, perhaps. They haven't released a codex in December before, nor any other major releases. (Possible exception of battle forces or some other boxed set). I'm not saying it 100% won't happen, it just hasn't happened in the last 10 years and isn't likely to happen this December (IMHO). I don't mind being wrong on this point, though.

I'd read my post above yours, When I said before Christmas I meant the Mid/End of November, I don't know about you buy I don't go rushing around for presents a few days before Christmas day.

Well, they're back but many are missing the ability to be put in the cart. You can at least cart some of the ones that were missing.

k...


There is still a chance for November. But if it's not November, it won't likely be December according to the the last 10 years. That was my point.

I hope they do come out this year. It would (should) make our necron player happy.

Not sure if being back on the site means much. As a retailer i am still unable to order any necron items, My orders all come back "N/A"
