Hope noone posted this before - couldn't find this info in other Nrcron threads on Dakka.

A polish portal Cytadela.pl posted very interesting news today, lemme translate the Necron related part that for ya:

(...) Some time ago I mentioned that new Necrons will appear in upcoming White Dwarf - I just got a confirmation of that info from a reliable source! (...)

In the upcoming WD you will see some new units:

- Triarch Pretorians/Lychguard - think Ushabti with Grey Knight-like spears / glavies
- new Immortals
- new Destroyers
- Deathmarks - Necron snipers
- new HQ'a / characters - Overlord and Cryptec, those will be in finecast
- Command Barge - with a Lord on the throne

Take this with grain of salt, yadda, yadda, yadda...

What's important is that these rumors are new and seem to get a long with what we've heard before.
Fingers crossed. The hour of the Necrons is imminent! Let the harvest begin!!!


EDIT : My mistake on wording - "upcoming WD" not "October's WD" - was tired when writing this down so I made a mistake, sorry.

Indeed. Methinks this is just a recut sprue jobby (possibly with Lord bits too) rather than a complete redesign of the model. I may be wrong though.

Destroyer Lord, both Destroyers and Immortals used all share the same upper body at the moment.
Since they are said to be re-doing Immortals -> I belive we will see new "upper part" of the Destroyers to match that. Think the lower body aka. hoover platform will remain the same.

I'm afraid that they might scrap Destroyer Lord :( Like it would be getting replaced by that Command Barge / Charriot whatever - the Lord's personal vehicle.

Erm, yes. The October WD was released a week ago, three weeks ago in the Netherlands.

Sorry, the explanation is very simple this time - I screwed up translation - was quite tired typing that :]
The WD where Necrons will make their comeback is referred to as "upcoming" on that polish site. I accidently took that as "October's WD" - my bad.
That leak was posted 2 days ago (12 Oct 2011) and there is no way it was referring to that horrible Derp Fleet related issue of WD.

I believe the polish site was referring to the WD released in October. Since magazines are released with the expiration date printed on the cover this would be the November issue released in October.

Thanks for pointing this out

You made me think. I checked my last issue of WD (which I buy in a press store shelved as "foreign hobby press" ) and it's indeed printed in Poland O_o !
Here's a proof:



I think You are right, and it's possible that the said "reliable source" is someone at the printing company... Nice.
