Ah. That film. I've watched maybe the first 30 mins of it. Far too weird for my tastes.

To which I still say - why.

I like the aesthetic that Necrons have no - hard angles, defined simplistic lines, not a lot of flash or fancy additions - a efficient and cold visual style to match their cold and efficient nature. It makes things like Flayed Ones all the more creepy.

I could see the things like Tomb Spyders and Scarabs becoming more "organic". Have them being relics of the Necrontyr's early attempts into crafting the Necrodermis container for the C'tan, maybe?

So, we've known since GD Baltimore that FW is going to be coming out with something new for 'crons, to be officially announced at GD UK. I was in the freaking panel that hinted/announced this. Why are people naysaying again?

Ah, the pic man seems like a drug dealer

Because this is Dakka Dakka, where there's more salt than the ocean.

People are questioning that the picture is real, not that FW is making a Necron model. Unless you thought that the catachan devil thing was something other than a joke.

Huzzah!

That was back in January though.

Could be true, as that has quite a strong egyptian vibe, but it could also potentially mean more skeletal (read: more segmented/detailed). I'm kind of liking that idea, actually. The level of detail and coolness that would be made possible by making them more like an abstracted skeleton and less like a simplified one is huge. And please, please, please GW, don't make them all bow-legged this time. Has anyone realised quite how fething tall and imposing necron warriors would be if they stood up straighter?

Just another random idea, but "organic" could also be an odd way of saying that they look like they've been decaying over the millennia?

Or, most likely, resin. But whos countin

Sorry mate, I'm not biting. Until OP explains his reasoning for "Tomb Stalker", I'm sticking to Catachan Devil.

I'm impressed with the level of disbelief in this thread. Normally people spread rumours based on what their friend heard of a cousin to a red-shirt and those take like wildfire.

Here we have a proper leak with matching photo that clearly connects to previous rumours regarding a necron model. Why anybody thinks it's a tyrnaid is beyond me.

This is just a fanpicture (not mine) but I think it might connect to the new model quite nicely.

It ISN'T a proper leak. Proper leaks are hints and sneak peaks from Gamesday, releases from GW etc.

This is just a random crappy photo, of the worst clarity ever, showing anything and been posted to create some kind of rumour. Why a close up of the pic? Why not the whole page? Could be a photo of a bed bug for all we know!

It also looks nothing like the concept Tomb Stalker picture, the only resemblanc it can confer is it has more than two legs!

I don't care what it is, I need to have it. It's getting boring building more warriors.

Necrons need plastic tomb spiders before we get some absurd tomb stalker.

The problem I have with the picture is that it's far too blurry for it to be a Necron model, a Nid model, even a GW/Forgeworld model. This is why everybody is showing disbelief. We all know Forgeworld are working on a Necron model as it was mentioned at US Games Day but I think it's hard to put this picture to that rumour due to how good GW are at keeping things under wrap now.

Just because you have a rumor that there's a necron model coming from forgeworld and a picture of a forgeworld model doesn't mean they're automatically the same thing. Forgeworld can be working on more than one thing, you know.

Nobody is arguing that forgeworld isn't working on a new necron model, just that this isn't it. It doesn't "clearly connect" to previous rumors until you have actual evidence of a connection. Until then, they are 2 separate rumors that may or may not even be related. There could simply be more than one new forgeworld models coming out.

I really think it's a nid. The talons are a spitting image for the BFG hive ship tentacles and the backplates have a faint ridge that's reminiscent of nid MC backplates. Now, if it IS a necron, it's big news, because it confirms a MAJOR change in overall style for them.

new necron stuff that might be interesting for necron players

The claw tips definitely look mechanical to me.

Jeeze it's like all those UFO photos! Why can't people learn to focus their cameras?!

Hehe yeah...its not like all these camera's have auto focus or something.....

I played with it in Photoshop a little, and I think it's pretty clearly Bigfoot, riding the Loch Ness Monster.

Wow that just ......looks like.......well never mind.

GG

I think it's probably the Necron model. Looks like it could be some kind of larger variation of a Tomb Spyder.

P.S. What the feth would be the reasoning behind them making a Catachan Devil? Seriously?

...Why would a Catachan Devil be "whetting the Nid players' appetite"?
If a Catachan Devil were originally a Tyranid beast, it's so far gone from that it would be devoured by the rest of a Hive Fleet as nothing but prey.

Plus; there's nothing on the docket for awhile for Tyranids from FW. GW's supposedly got a Tervigon and Tyrannofex kit lined up for release at "an undisclosed time".
FW has stated they've moved away from doing "gapfillers", and are just going to be doing their own thing from henceforth.

I sure hope they have more than that on the docket...Tyranids need a lot more than just tervigons and tyrannofexes.

Then again since they made pods useless with their FAQ I guess I don't see a reason to make a model for them anymore. Plastic boneswords would be nice though.

Not up to speed with my FAQs, what happened?

Though they follow drop pod rules, they aren't and thus cannot be dropped empty; removing a strong tactical option from the Nid player.
