Yeah - also I seem to recall you could down load the old codex for a short while between the old one going out of print and the new one coming out - I could just be talking cobblers - but I seem to have aquired it from somewhere .

At least a Finecast Spyder would stay up on it's base...

Rumor has it that wraiths are getting options, so proabably a redo, ditto spyders.

Flayed ones really ought to be plastic, but i'm wishlisting there..

Last I saw, rumors were pointing to beefier and more ornate plastic Immortals and Destroyers, and bigger Spyders with three build options.

But we know how accurate rumors are these days...

Unconfirmed rumours recently said the new tomb spider plastic kit was the size of a rhino!

Other said whoops! that's the three-up of the model

I would like rhino-sized spyders though, but people would whine up a storm when i pull out my old tonkatoy ones

BTW, the German Necron Codex is still on sale. Even the german Ogre Kingdom army book, even when the new one is already officially announced for September.

Oh wait, those are generally good things. Sorry, bringing sense to a Ward bashing thread, I shoud know better.

Now, if it was Cruddace youd get entirely overpowered and bland, or interesting but meh to play. WIth Kelly you either get wonderfully balanced (DE) or hideously internally and externally imbalanced (SW)

Aww, I didn't even know who Matt Ward was until the Blood Angels & Grey Knights codexes (codexii?) were released. It's not like I had some preformed some agenda of hating Matty - who I'm well aware, for what it's worth, does not have a free hand in writing anyway: if it got in a book, several other people approved it, probably many other people.

My feeling of his work is that his rules are generally solid and balanced, his flavor writing poor, his fluff atrocious, and his naming conventions poor. Is that not an accurate summation? If so, I feel my concerns are squarely on-topic in a Necron thread; as the fluff is probably more important to me then having awesome rules. I know that's a minority opinion, but it's how I feel.

codices by the way. i would like decent fluff and some average rules. just enough to actually COMPETE with anything alpha strike. or combat oriented. or insanely cheap...

And that would be awesome.

Its still up in New Zealand to. Could it be its only gone in the UK and US?

Ledabot wrote:Its still up in New Zealand to. Could it be its only gone in the UK and US?

Or it could be that GW don't care much about Aus or NZ.

/o/

I've been waiting and waiting for the necrons to be re-released. I picked them up about march and have been waiting and waiting. Ooooh I cant wait .

Yes, well rumors for the past 6 months all pointed to an August release for the Necrons and, well, here we are... So I'll just wait and wait and wait.......

Really? It is official? Hadn't noticed.

angelshade00 wrote:Really? It is official? Hadn't noticed.

Yes, confirmed in the new WD, see Ogre thread.

THIS! is why other people are doing the fluff. Matt couldn't bring himself to do it himself...

I'd really like it if he went more detailed on the World Engine bit. The fact of the matter he's mentioned two of them in both of his books (Space Marine and Grey Knight) has got me wondering just what those damn things are in actuality. Fully weaponized Tomb Worlds? Just more secret Necron toys? Or just another Michael Bay style thing of "oh cool must throw that in there just because!"

Ya crazy they are gone.

Ledabot wrote:Its still up in New Zealand to. Could it be its only gone in the UK and US?

They must not be out of the books printed upside-down and backwards.

I can't speak to a reason why models would be sold out in some regions, yet available in others. Maybe something to do with where the orders are filled?

The rhino-sized Spyder rumour... well, it was retracted in a sense. The OP said that it wasn't quite that large, but it definitely wasn't a 3-up.

For the record, although the more recent rumors over the past 3 months have been pointing to August release for the Necrons, the rumors I heard before those rumors were talking about Halloween releases for the Space Zombies, and now those rumors are coming back around. Look to Halloween for our phalanxes to return.

We just walk upsidedown, we still read the right way up. We import so much from china, any other way would be silly.

They're not really all that clever?

Remember, to GW, being 'really clever' (as you put it) means 'stopping the Internet'. The sad part is that GW really thinks they have this capability, as if the Internet is something that is small and easily contained.

Haha, I'd forgotton about the IT crowd. Yep, that's probably about right. The GW board are probably still trying to figure out how to get hold of the internet so that they can shut it down or remove all traces of negativity and competition.

Hi im just wondering if the necron codex has dissappeared before and if there would give ou ta picture and a some writing for necrons like there did with the grey knights and ifthere did come out do you think it would be worth a go at collecting necrons?

Has GW ever considered making a Vampire Codex? Modern vampires from the Underworld/Blade series might do well in the 40k setting.

Is this a joke?

See Codex: Blood Angels.

Could you show me where? I tried to find "the ogre thread" and didn't see anything Necron related, I'm sure I'm looking in the wrong place. Or stupid. Or both.

He's talking about it's offical that Ogres are coming out in September now, instead of October.

Oh, nothing to do with Necrons, then?

I guess it was the middle thing.

Looking so forward to Necrovember I even started CSM since expanding my Necrons isn't too viable right now.

Ctan god should die on the first turn of shooting so will most of his destroyers, if his clever he should reserved his warriors.

For the monolith I would avoid it because it can't kill enough to damage your army.

Second round of shooting you should have blown up more necrons and aim for phase out in turn 3.

-----------------------------------------------

On to necrons, I have a box of them ready to be built when the codex come out can't wait.

I played Necrons again this week, I did indeed kill the C'Tan in an alpha strike, but I now find that the Tomb Stalker has borrowed the C'Tan's stick and has stuck me with it! :(

but...

I too now have a load of Necrons...

All the necron stuff has also disappeared from the shelves of my local GeeDubb

There are no Necrons even in the GW stores anymore, its a sign of an upcoming release generally.
