I love the Necrons. They have such a rich history, but does anyone know when the new necron codex is coming out? The old codex is

really old. Any rumors Appreciated.

Are you sure you are using the current Codex?

Yes, the one with NECRONS across with big white letters.

Yes, that is the one I'm using.

Hmmm, I think I need to go get this one, I have a large amount of the awesome Necron kits to build.

the reason I say it's awful is because it's *REALLY* old.

Meh, why not just assume that Trazyn mindfucked some poor spirit and took over his Wraithknight. If he can do it with Necron Overlords without them knowing, why not Eldar?

I agree.

Are the Necrons gettin' an update soon?

**lliu**

They love humanity still... They don't want to join the Greater Good that they made up, nor do they want to be possessed by the sorcerers they made up, nor do they want their soles spliced by the technology they came up with. Slaanesh on the other hand... He/She loves almost everything. Want to die? The Slaanesh makes you enjoy aaaaaaggggghhhh! dying!

I'm more interested in what new, cool models they will give Necrons.
All indications from reliable rumor sources seem to point to the Necrons not getting anything new in the codex. It's looking more like a fix up/minimal update along the lines of what the Gray Knights got.
Expect nerfs a plenty.

They will nerf some and they will buff some. They have to sell models so total nerfing is not going to happen. Doing the old switcheroo (nerf some, buff some) makes everyone happy and most importantly generates revenue.

Take your bets on what the next chase Necron unit will be. Monolith? Praetorian? Doomsday Ark? Destroyers? Flayed Ones? C'tan Shards?

Also take bets on what units hit the shelves. Wraiths? Annihilation Barges? Scarabs? Death Marks?

The only prediction I am making is that the Monolith will be a definite THING. The theme so far with the new codexes has been DROP POD.

what are the rules for the transcendent C'tan?

I wish they would do a valid, actually awesome fast attack model.

2e Scarabs were things of beauty.

That said, I can't believe you dislike the Tomb Stalker and the new Wraith! They're beautiful.

In a, uh, gribbly tentacular too-many-legs crustacian/insectile kind of way, anyway.

They are awesome, but that gives my girlfriend (I'm 11, I know) the creeps. She was looking at me, as I had her over, and still, it IS a bit odd for Egyptian Zombies.

what does the despairtek do?

The current Necron codex (before the new one hits) is the #3 codex in the game right now and arguably could be the very best depending on your style of play.

The new codex coming out is totally going to nerf it to oblivion

Unless they copypaste the rules and just add a bunch of pics. Not likely, almost impossible, but hey, with GW anything can happen!
