Codex is in hand and willing to answer unit questions. I will not be giving out exact point costs or anything so don't bother trying. Have at it!

I just want to know about cc options.

How good are wraiths (do they ignore difficult terrain? and thus dont need assault grenades?)

how about lych guard are they 2 attacks?

Do scarabs have a rust armor effect or some such?

wondering if the rumor was true.

I can answer that one, yes they do....when they hit a vehicle they then roll again and on a 4+ they drop its armor by 1 on the side they assaulted. If they ever manage to drop an armor on any side to 0 it is destroyed.

some of the cc weapons crypteks/lords can take do this as well. I also think the jump pack elite guys can get the blades as well (they also rend).

I'll bite: what's the maximum amount of necron warriors one can have in one unit?What about immortals? Also, do all immortals need to use the same weapon as everybody else or can half the unit use tesla carbines and the other half gauss blasters?

thank yee!

Whats the effects of the Hyperphase Swords and Dispersion Shields for the Triarch Praetorians?

Klogger wrote:Whats the effects/stats of the Hyperphase Swords and Dispersion Shields for the Triarch Praetorians?

the sword has entropic field (like scarabs) and rending.

I didnt think the other thing was actually a shield but is a 6" high str ap 2 or 3 pistol... (not sure on str or ap) all i am sure on is the sword.

well they have the option of having the Pistols or the Sword and Shield, If I read the rumors correctly,

While I like the look of the Sword and Sheild, these pistols sound like they are marine slaying beasts, im going to have a very hard time choosing between them

in the news and rumors thread (which is massive) is where i got my answers over the last couple of days...answers most the questions I have seen thus far.

FLuff question, does the codex mention mars or the dragon? I'm very interested in how that particular retcon has been handled.

Yeah, ive been re-reading that beast at least twice a day,

What's the minimum and maximum size a warrior unit can be?

Wraiths are never slowed by DT and automatically pass dangerous tests, although they can take an upgrade which gives them lashwhips ala Tyranids.

Lychguard are indeed 2 attacks

Warriors - Min 5 - Max20
Immortals - 5 - 10
Entire squad must have the same weapon.


Keep em coming!

How do deathmarks come in?

Do they DS normally or do they get something special?

They can DS normally or they can come in, via DS, after an enemy units comes in from reserve, on the opponents turn! They also get to "mark" a unit for death when they come in, even units in transports. Any shooting against the unit will wound on 2+

Do they still scatter though? And suffer from mishaps?

deep strike as normal

And when the enemy reserves arrive, it's auto DS or do I have to roll?

I'm with Ktulhut, what is the (Void) Dragon up to, and does Mars factor in or anything?

Repost:

Fluff: Is there any indication that our "shot-dead" Necrons who failed their RP save are "dematerializing" and the parts are teleported to a secret facility? Same with shot down vehicles...

It was one of the great fluff parts I liked: After the mindless horde of robots has been destroyed, there is nothing left of them.
