On a side note, some people actually think these models look nice, and since you are now in the negative about this thread, is this really constructive?

Jump pack troopers to compete with the wraiths.

I agree with Cthulu though, they are named after guards, so maybe they are shields? The rumors pointed to a lot of "tesla" names, maybe they where going for that effect as well?

People. Its not a spinal column. And we just discovered what the loin cloths are covering up. Well endowed necrons, but the green glowing balls look like they are sitting where the kidneys would be.

You have it backwards. Both Egypt and the Incas had a Necron look because both cultures worshipped the Necrons as their 'Space Gods'.

You, sir, win the internets for the day.

OT, these things are a real mixed bag for me; one pic will come out and I go OMGWTF THAT'S AWESOME!!!1

Then the next picture makes me go followed by something there's not an orkmoticon for.

So they didn't ace Anatomy. But they got Physics down pat!

Only "allowing" positive comments isn't constructive either...

The Deathmarks are looking like they might find a home in my collection as some kind of Adeptus Mechanicus experiment gone horribly, horribly wrong for scenario games.

Man, if only there were some old rumors from May that actually talk about what some of this stuff does...




Seriously though, you may want to go back and have a look at my old rumor thread. You may find some new answers there now that you've seen some of the models.

Still not something that gets me excited, they just look confused (and seem to have smiley faces too...)

Obviously, the necrontyr physiology is quite different to ours.

Interesting to note that the praetorians, assumingly fairly high ranking individuals, appear to have the largest "tail-bone".

Those aren't tails, you fools, they're Void Wangs!

What I meant is that his negativity is not constructive.

See what I was saying? Those gauss blasters are cool...

Well, on 1d4chan they are called "rape machines".

Epic, nice to see some weapons options for different units.

Wow... It certainly looks like people will no longer have any reason to complain about lack of variety in the Necron codex. That's a whole boatload of new stuff.

I'm not keen on the Command Barge, but everything else looks sweet.

The trick for me is going to be figuring out how to build all of these new units from my old 2nd edition Necrons

Some of you nay-sayers, stop for a moment. You're entitled to your opinion, that's fine, but think of this from a designers point of view, and ask yourself - 'How can I differentiate enough looks for a bunch of skeletal robots so that they can be easily identified at arms length? And by people that may not have read all about them?' What would you do?

They're doing a very basic iconography with the silhouettes of the Necrons. The basic warrior is the simplest, the silhouette gets more complex as you go up the chain of command. It makes sense to add different shapes to areas on a model as a graphic and identifiable way to discern different troop types - especially when they're so small and seen in relatively large groups.

I think everything looks pretty dang great. I'm not a Necron player and likely won't ever be, but the amount of infantry types and the new vehicles look very good.

The boatload arrived on the dreadfleet tomb king ship

Really liking the new infantry, Deathmarks and Immortals in particular.

Vehicles and characters look a bit crap.

The Ghost Ark is a direct copy+paste of the cylon resurrection ship from Battlestar Galactica, right down to the angles.

This looks very Promising.

Now to just properly orkify them for my waaagghhhh!

Though a small necron force will be good to, heres hoping the dex is cheesetastic!

EDIT: another person beat me : P

They look pretty nice.. Finecast though? I like the bundles of heads and bits.

While some of this stuff looks cool, none of it floats my boat, as it were...I'm excited for the current Necron players, though.

Maybe I'll actually play against Necrons at some point...

I'll stick with the ones I have, thanks.

Just look at the top right guy! He's like, "hey girl friend, check out my new skin, I look faaaaaaabuuuuullous!"

LOL the little carcass on their backs, it's so hysterical.

Oh my freaking God, the Flayed One in the upper right hand side is doing a pimp walk.

Incoming "Haters Gonna Hate" with him, I'm betting...

Yeah... first image I've genuinely not liked. Why do they have whole bodies piggybacking Flayed Ones...?

The new flayed ones don't look too bad. I mean I have seen worse.

Already done. Seriously, the old flayed ones would eat these clowns for a quick snack.
