Ultimately an army with Army wide I2 and a 5+INV has a lot going for it. :/

They are uber.

What gives me the creeps is the whole retcon background and the stories of the battles. They are nonsense.

-3 Imperial Fists companies have been completely wiped out
-Helbrecht had his right hand cut down and humiliated
-They really allied with the Blood Angels
-an Unknown number of men from the Flesh Tearers and Iron Hands were killed in a siege (at least a company each?)
-Korsarro Khan has been captured by one of the Necrons and then freed after being beated up badly.
-Ultramar is going to be invaded shortly and perhaps devastated.

This makes me wanna cry hard.

Ward's inability to do anything in a subtle manner strikes again! Everything's gotta be extra heroic or extra dire and involve all the major named characters as well.

But riddle me this - at any point in the Necron's history do we have a story of a Necron Lord killing an Avatar?

I'll be honest I like the intertwined fluff with the farseer, pathfinder and khan etc.

It didn't bother me the Necrons have beat everyone, there has to be backdrops for wars and campaigns.

The only gripe I think i have is minor and can be fixed, the glowing plastic rods dont make the army cohesive anymore. They look silly on just warriors and the odd old lord.

Internal balance seems consistent. Wargear combos are going to be the make it or break it. But those will have to suit each players style and tactics. IE because I play X style doesn't mean Y unit is best, I just get more juice from the squeeze I'll natually think something is better. I think there is be a lot of hidden synergy plus the characteristics test or die wargear that's everywhere, but that I2 scares me.

There seem to be cryptecs to suit each build, but at a minimum Necrons do look to be the mech meta breaker. IMO

I'm reading the codex now. I haven't been so enthusiastic about GW in a long time. The fluff snippets are amazing.

Ultramar threathened in a codex M.W was part of the "team" that wrote it? Who managed to sneak that in?

If we get everyone dies company-wise but a certain color of marine does not as general direction of the background in the cron dex,
no one should attempt to justify a certain game-designers work anymore.

Looking forward to receive my copy.

Any hints what happens to the other factions in this galaxy? Beaten up as bad ?

Bahahaha! Ok, Tomb Blades look really silly. Who ok'ed that concept? Honestly.

Triach Stalkers look awesome though. So do Canoptek Wraiths. Wow. The new Tomb Spyder design is also interesting. Doom Scythe... hmm... imagine the ship from Independence Day, only with crescent moon wings. I do not like the little pilot sitting there.

I hope Illuminator gets a model. Those mechanical legs would make great conversion fodder (especially for anyone who plays Soul Drinkers)

Hmm, bummer about the link! I actually am very interested in this codex, but mostly for the background... which I actually kind of like the changes to... although I'd be tempted to play the one "rogue" tomb world, that behaves just like all the necrons did in the old background

Pretty much yes, they are beaten up badly but not as the Marines. If I do remember well, Alaitoc is in danger while some Imperial planets have been subjugated and forced to become slaves of the Necrons. Space Marines are the worst case scenario.

For Ultramar, Necrons are going to expand and Marneus Calgar is preparing for an invasion coming North of his personal kingdom. The Imhotepk guy wants to expand and has to choose where between the sentient races of whom is surrounded with. Ultramar sooner or later will be attacked, at least this is what I've understood and since Necrons seems to be more efficient than Tyranids on destroying worlds, an assault could be devastating. If it's not, I apologize.

For sure, the only famous marines that have not suffered from Necrons in this background , are the Ultramarines. Almost every other chapter with a codex and with a wide fan base, has been beaten up.

If someone is interested about it, the Silver Skulls chapter has been wiped out by them.

In Chapters Due they kill off just over four hundred Ultramarines and if you compare it to events like the Scythes of the Emperor (from what 3rd/4th edition dex) being consumed by the tyranids then its far from impossible to have xenos wipe out space marine chapters or do heavy damage to them. The crimson fists are another example.

Also the blood angels codex had the final note of how Baal is going to be invaded by the really off blood thirster and his demonic army.

Seems fairly in line with bigging up every army in its actual codex with glorious victories and last stands.

TBH I kind of like them putting more fluff about the special characters in other codex's as it fleshes out the character beyond their stat entry.

True... But then Helbrecht returned the favor in a space battle.....thoroughly whooping the Stormlord.... even to the point where the Stormlord had to retreat.

From what I'm reading, they didn't get wiped... they got annihilated, and their chapter master killed, but they are rebuilding their forces...
