SImilar level of power, and size is pretty much just a preference.

Now thats a perfect example of what the C'Tan would be like. Well, in a "normal" form anyways.

lol, now if we could only get a codex that WON'T be a train wreak

Beasts of War have just released a video on their YouTube channel concerning a Live show on Friday. They have an announcement concerning Necrons! Make sure you listen to the end of the video, then turn up your speakers.

And I should note that if this turns out to be an April Fools, someone's gonna get hurt...

Link to video.

**Necros**

It's a pretty safe bet that any new news that gets posted or talked about anywhere on the interwebs other than CNN is gonna be an april fools joke.

**stalkerzero**

I'm skeptical but very hopeful for any new information coming tomorrow.

**Scarey Nerd**

I'm hoping that they'll be obeying the April Fools tradition of it no longer applying after noon, so the 8pm video won't be an April Fool anymore, it'll just be an annoyance.

**Starfarer**

Definitely, I think any credibility a "news" site like this had is going to be hurt by playing some April Fools joke, especially when talking about a new army release. All it will do is annoy people and potentially keep them from coming back for news in the future.

Stickmonkey's monthly rumour post:

I'm posting this in news and rumors only as it's relevant to upcoming releases. I received word yesterday my "blackout" clause of my NDA for 3 upcoming codex armies would go in to effect April 1. (ha, that's what I thought too.)

Those three armies are Tau, Necron, and SoB.

Now the earliest they've ever enacted this on me before has been 6 months out. And the shortest duration has been 2 months out. I have no info telling me A. What order any of these codexes will be released. B. That they will be consistent with that duration. Just thought it may serve as additional evidence for what's on the horizon.

According to what I heard, that's it.

**H.B.M.C.**

Unfortunately at this time of the year the 'salt' we usually use much exchanged for a rock salt-loaded Shotgun. I wouldn't believe anything until mid-next week.

And 'blackout' clause? What do GW have against advertising? Honestly?

I think they're afraid of all the competition from the other companies that... sell... warhammer...

Wait a minute...

**Ascalam**

It's probably just the Tombstalker from forgeworld.

It is very cool, but if that's it i'm not going to be too enthralled

**Defeatmyarmy**

Necrons beta codex preview will be at Pirate Bay. It will be posted at 12:01 A.M. tomorrow, APRIL 1ST!!

p.s. APRIL FOOLS!

**Asphalt**

Has anyone seen this article from BOW
http://www.beastsofwar.com/warhammer-40k/necron-megalith-revealed/
Has an image of a "prototype" Necron Megalith. I can't watch the vid on this computer/

sorry if this has been posted already.

**Necros**

Today is April Fool's Day...

**Asphalt**

Touche sir.

**Sasori**

I've signed NDAs before, but I'm not familier with a blackout clause.

Does anyone know what that means?

**Kevin949**

Most NDA's that get signed go into effect immediately but apparently (if true) his NDA has a start date. So the "blackout clause" simply means that from today going forward he is no longer allowed to discuss anything that is related to whatever the NDA is related to.

Ah, thanks for that. I had no idea. All the NDA's I've every signed went into affect immediately, I had an idea that's what it might mean, but thanks or the confirmation.

**Defeatmyarmy**

Why would they release the preview for something on april fools day?! A flying monolith that makes a random 3d6 infantry or d6 destroyers or 3d6 scarabs with a 101 inch reach......armor 14 all around and living armor. They claim they are shareholders of GW, I thought GW was a private company. The tank is over 300 points so this might be real.......

...fwooooooooooooooooooooosh!

Right over your head

Beasts of War made a joke.

**Kroothawk**

Just to make sure: The BoW Necron Monolith is a nice slightly converted and painted Gormiti playset called Temple of Light and yes, a joke.

**Asphalt**

Good call croot. it seems like that it may have a European only release, or hasn't come stateside yet. Hard to find any sites that have US addresses featuring that particular playset.

**Deacis657**

I like the WBB rule, yeah it's kind of a pain but its how Necrons are, I just hope for their range to be increased a little and they have some more models. and as far as C'Tans go, I hope they dont get rid of them, I just got my Nightbringer the other day and I love him!.

But anyway; Really hope this is true!

**HoverBoy**

Oh no worries the C'tan models will still be used, but they will represent a lord being infused with a fraction of his masters power, sort of like eldar avatars of Khaine.

**Goddard**

Go to e-trade, GW is a public company.

Or like DoW (which is exactly how it happens in Dark Crusade).

**sonofruss**

And yes it was posted by me hehe.

**syypher**

I'm pretty sure Necrons is coming out in June/July. Not sure if this is already said in this thread since I didn't want to read all 21 pages. Just skimmed the last 2.

Out of 2 gaming stores I normally order from they both said new necron models are coming out in June or July. They also all stopped carrying specific models from Necrons about 2 weeks ago. (When I tried to order) One of the stores told me GW normally does this when they are about to release a new codex and that they did this with the GK.

I'm pretty convinced

**Ascalam**

If you're right, i'm a happy camper

If you're wrong, i've waited forever already, so more waiting isn't a biggie

We know they aren't June, or we would have received the Incoming! announcement last month. If we don't receive an announcement tomorrow, they probably aren't July.
