**Mr Nobody**

Ever since I heard rumors they were the next codex to be updated, I've been planning to start them.

**Ogryn**

What will you start with?

**Nightrave**

i won't be. I have decided to stick with my Eldar/Dark eldar, and Daemons (i have way to many points in those, and look forward to new models (eldar anyhow)

Besides i allready know 3 necron players and wont take from their thunder....just enjoy getting shot down by them

**Ghostfacekilla**

I, for one, will be jumping all over the bandwagon and expanding my old and tiny necron army(It was a lord, 20 warriors and 2 destroyers for a laugh) The new models have me excited, the vehicles I'm looking forward to and if the rumors I hear are true 'crons are still going to be very teleport happy in their play style. Though I will just get the new codex at first and see what sort of army I want to build up. And come on people, any break up amongst the endless marine armies will be a welcome reprieve.

**Corpsesarefun**

I started out with necrons but quit when I got bored of the limited options, definitely will be getting this dex.

**Zathras**

Starting a Necron army? No, since I've been playing Necrons since they were just an army list in the WD.

Adding to what I have? Oh yeah. Planning on pre-ordering the codex and 4 boxes of Immortals then, after giving the codex a read, filling out slots with the cool stuff.

**Small, Far Away**

No.

Are you sure? You don't sound very confident.

**Zim**

Yes. I ended up deciding on starting a Necron army a few weeks back and have been painting my first couple boxes of warriors. Nothing I've seen in the rumors sections has bothered me enough yet to prevent my going through with that decision.

**chaos0xomega**

I'm starting with 3 doomsday arks. I don't care if they're not particularly good, they just look cool...
I'm thinking I'm going to shoot for about 80 warriors, because that only costs 960 points if rumors are to be believed

And from there I'll add more necrons to taste, especially scarabs.

**ColdSadHungry**

I already have my 'main' and 'second' armies so no, i won't be playing them. If I only had one army then I would be very tempted as I think they look pretty cool.

**Isengard**

One of my friends has acquired the new codex somehow and I am hoping to get a peak tonight, I will pass on my thoughts as soon as I get the chance...

Do tell, do tell!

**Mr. Oddity**

I look forward to the new release, as the fluff change will validate my idea for an army theme I've had floating around. However, the vast majority of my models will be converted. So, new army + new codex + many conversions = cheaper, yet awesome? We'll find out.

**Locclo**

I'll probably be playing against them via Vassal, but that's about it. I don't start new armies on the principles of "they don't interest me" and "I have no money".

**CadianCommander**

I dun have to - my partner's been waiting for ever for them to be updated, so I'll live the Necron dream through him.

**scythewing**

Start? lol already got a little over 5000 points and can't wait to add much more with the new stuff coming out!

**CommissarCandlestick**

I doubt I will be starting a Necron army. This is mainly because I've already got several armies to finish and I won't have the money for a new army anyway. The new models don't look bad though.

**Ancestral Hamster**

No. Spending money on other games. Have had the desire to get a Necron army for some time, so it is possible that I might start one eventually, but not at least for six months.

Same here,

Nothing crazy tho, ~1000-1500 at most, nothing like my Space Marines

**Ogryn**

Come to think of it, I really don't think that I have the money to start a new army now..

Still better than a Mac, that thing can't even run phalanx software.

**chromedog**

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Noooooooooooooo.

I have 9 armies for various games as it is - and limited storage space.
In order to start Necrons, I would have to replace on of these 9 with them - and I don't like enough of the models more than I like the existing armies I have, in order to do this.

The same for Dark Eldar. Much as I like the designs and models, I don't like them more than my other armies. It was too little, too late.
If they had STARTED out like that, then things would have been different (I would perhaps not have started GK).

**Ogryn**

EEK! Nine armies!

I'd love to but the useless git has knackered his phone and is not responding to mails right now. He says he has got it and he certainly got the GK one early. He got a version with the unit write-ups and the army list but without the artwork and the fluff or special rules. No idea how. I should see him tomorrow night and I'm supposed to be fighting him on wednesday so I'll try and see then. As I said, it might be a blag but he has form for getting them early. No idea how and I don't ask!

**Ogryn**

New codex? Does he work for GW?

**Corrode**

No, but I'm looking forward to helping a buddy brainstorm lists when he revives his Tangocrons for the release.

**Jackster**

I'd almost want one to go with my Blood Angels!

Is it true basic warriors are gonna have 4+ saves?
