New Necron Scarab types.

Hungry, hungry, beatles - Fleshbane, shred

Face Huggers - Initiative test or die. Leave model on board, make reanimation protocol check at end of Assault phase. For each successfull check, remove model and replace with a facehugger base. If you run out of Face hugger bases, or are unable to place them for some reason, the additional bases are lost.
1 Face Huggers base is included in each of the new $29.99 Cryptek Blisters

The Necron book will only be available in hardcover.

The cover will be manufactured from 3mm thick steel with a titanium coating and razor sharp edges. Each page will be a thin sheet of gold leaf, with the writing stamped on.

It will be limited to 2000 copies at £12,000 each, and they will forget to number them. A second (similarly priced) codex will be released three weeks later, superseding the just-released one immediately.

King Pariah - Gauss Cannons were AP3 under the previous rules.

36" S6 AP3 Heavy 3...

and Destroyers were jetbikes.

**Pyeatt**

Flayed Ones are now LoW. No improvements of any kind are made.

**Torga_DW**

In the tradition of codex witch hunters and daemon hunters (3rd edition), the necron codex will contain a unit for their opponents to field: john connor. He will attach himself to one of the necron units and force constant leadership tests as he makes bad 80s quips and one-liners, while instructing them not to kill anyone. They will still be allowed to fight in melee, however (apparently that's different).

**koooaei**

Necrons will get a new flyer with an exciting completely unexpected design with hot liquid top so that the air-crons will look like this:

Spoiler:

Note the bases.

Haven't seen the IA:12 list then? Charnel Scarabs are Shred and Rend.

Which on an average roll means a ten base unit churns out roughly 6 rends and 6 wounds.

I advise to reread the codex. They were AP4.
If they were AP3, I would have had a much easier time using them

Those weren't "Metal" enough/ That's why the new ones have Fleshbane

Nearly.

GW, on the the back of the coming Necron codex, wrote:The Necrons were created by the C'tan. They rebelled. They evolved. They look - and feel - human. Some are programmed to believe they are human. There are many copies. And they have a plan.

To continue the breakfast theme, Croissants will be used to transport Toasters (the new name for Necron Warriors).

New rules:
All Along The Watchtowers: One of the enemy characters turns out to have been a Necron all along.
Season Swerve: On turn 3 the game will suddenly shift in theme from military sci-fi to metaphysical fantasy. Characters will receive enigmatic visions (counts as Prescience) while dead pilots will return to the table as "Angels"... or will they?
Box them: The player can choose to "Box" rebellious Necrons, returning them to their boxes for all eternity. Remove them from the game.

Which would actually be less scary.

Oh yeah sure, ballpark of 25 wounds.

But none of them rend so you're not scaring 2+ armour or vehicles anymore.

Okay, on topic:

You now roll 3 reanimation dice for each fallen Necron, under the assumption severed body parts can grow back into an entire Necron.

Canoptek units and vehicles now get a 4+ version of It Will Not Die that works even on turns after the unit has been completely destroyed.

They are the Tau, Eldar, Humans or any army that has living flesh. They are not Chaos because they don't want their souls in the new flesh damned and don't want to become Orks because they don't like Plants vs Zombies. Some Dynasties have become so desperate for flesh they even can be Tyranids because it's natural living tissue. Races of the same faction don't even know that their Kin were once old Necrons.

There will be rules for them, that they can use any codex that is Tau, Eldar, Humans (not SM because they are genetically enhanced and not "pure" flesh.) They can also use the Tyranid codex as well. They can use all of them combined for a legal CAD just pick what ever unit you want.

Also there will be CLEAR and CONCISE rules written and there will NEVER EVER be any arguing on how a rule works.

And Eldrad yelled, "I must fight the Necrons!"
"No Eldrad", said the voice, you are the Necrons
And Eldrad became a scarab.

**Happyjew**

The new codex will be written in a language that Necrons will understand - Binary.

**adamsouza**

The New Necron Lord Of War, the Canoptek Scorpion, retails for $140 US, Limited Edition Box Set, Super heavy walker.
The Limited Edtion box is detailed with gold leaf, and strictly limited to direct only sales. You won't even be able to buy them in GW stores, you have to buy them online, direct from GW. Only 10,000 copies will be made. After that only softcover editions will be available for $149.99 US with no gold leaf on the box, and different cover art.

The Canoptek Scorpion features:

Dual D weapon Claws

An Apocalyptic scale mega blast S10 AP1 72" shred, armorbane, entropic strike Qauntum Blaster Tail Stinger

Doom Prism Matrix, that works like a regular doom prism, but within a 12" radius of the Canoptek Scorpion

Mind Shackle Scarabs

Sypder Hive - At the beggining of the movement phase, roll a d6, on a 2+ the Spyder Hive has produced a Canoptek Spyder that must be placed within 6" of the Canoptek Scorpion. If you can not place it for any reason, just put it on the scorpions back, until you can place it, or it falls off. If it falls off, it suffers d3 S4 hits, getting armor saves as usual. On a roll of a 1, you must immediately buy another Canoptek Spyder

**Jancoran**

I really want a Necron codex written in binary. How awesome would that be for a gag gift

Canoptek Dreadknights for the win

I still think this is the best CCB-conversion ever!

Tomb Stalker from Medusa is a Lord of War.

Apparently Necrons now have pets that can either attack or blow up tanks.

-Mindshackle Scarabs control is permanent.
-Wraiths get +1 attack for each whip, and for 5 pts can count their tail as an additional whip.
-Rod of Covenant provides the model with flying and is used like a witches broom.
-It is revealed that everything having to do with Baal is all about a secret society of Necron skin jobs, thus curing the Blood Angel Curse in the revelation of their true selves.
-Flayed Ones are no longer unit choices. Instead, when an opponent's model is killed within 24" of a Necron with a Resurrection Orb roll a 4+ and it rises as a Flayed One.
-K-9 and the Tardis are Necron technology and are licensed troop choices, but a fee must be paid whenever you play them.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Following up on the Necron's mars raid, the new codex has a raid on Holy Terra itself (!!!)

The Necrons breach Terra's defences and land forces right in the Emperor's throne room!

After an epic battle taking 3 whole paragraphs of the codex, they fight their way through the Adeptus Custodus, take down the 2 warlord titans (!!) at the Eternity Gate and even zap the Zombified Corpse of Malakar the Sigilite!!

They march right up to Him on Earth, pop off their skull helmets, step off their stilt legs, open their chest cavities and it is finally reviled that...

Spoiler:

**adamsouza**

Necrons get a new "infiltrator" unit. Using vats of rapidly grown flesh to cover the endoskeleton bodies of the Necrons, the new unit will be able to deploy closer to the enemy, pretending to memebers of their own race.

WS4 BS4 S4 T4 I2 A1 Ld10
Reanimation Protocols, Scout, Infiltrate, Shrouded, Hit and Run
75 points for 5

Wow I am really excited about this I gotta start collecting necrons.

**Da krimson barun**

Codex:Orkcrons
After warboss skullkraka shut down all necrons using DA BIG RED BUTTON all necrons were modified by meks into krumpa tins: snotling killa kans.(as such codex necrons will never be released.)

**CthuluIsSpy**

It's revealed that the Necrons were actually transhuman Space Marines, and the Silent King was a lost primarch all along.

**natpri771**

Warscythe hits at S10, is still AP1 and gives +D6 attacks on the charge and instant death.

In the Soul Drinkers Novel Hellforged, Flayed Ones pretty much did that (Oldcron Flayed Ones) except they skinned dead or dying soldiers on the battle field and then wore their skin and flesh and clothes. From there they feigned to be injured soldiers so that they were taken up and sent behind lines for medical treatment only to be dead on arrival. They were then tossed into what was effectively a makeshift morgue and once there were enough of them, well... all hell broke loose.

Yeah, and Monoliths were ridiculously scary, Destroyer Wing was at least a semi-competitive army, C'tan were death incarnate, we had legit Flayed Ones and those good old Pariahs.

Those were the days... *sigh*

**adamsouza**

Mind Shackle Scarabs are now an army wide rule. Anytime an enemy model assaults a Necron Model, vehicles included, the model must test for Mind Shackle Scarabs.
