Yeah, I had the same problem then my phone ran out of credit.

wish they hadn't scrapped the back page/cover 'reveal' in WD...

yeah, that was a good feature. And they used to have a little paragraph and picture in the first few pages that gave a preview two months ahead.

Makes me sad.. I'm waiting impatiently for jets..

Second wave allready? is this really credible? maybe they pushed it up the schedule duo to great sales..

either way im excited will be cool to see how they handle the flyer and stalker.

DE had a second wave about as quickly.

As a comparison - which DE models were added in their 2nd wave?
Also, was there DE 3rd wave? As of now, they only seem to be missing few Named Chars and the bomber vehicle.
Hope Necrons will get ALL their remaining unit models soon, don't care about Failcast characters too much tho.

So thumbs up for Scythes, Stalker, Tomb Blades and Wraith/Spyders...

DE second wave awful. In Februrary, they got

Succubus
Beastmaster
Kyhmera
Clawed Fiend
Razorwing Flock

All metal, all expensive. They did share the month with another army, though I forget which.

The third wave was in June, which saw the release of:

Venom
Razorwing
Scourges
Talos
Wracks
Grotesques
Generic Haemonculous

Much better. They also recieved a pair of the Archon's court in like August and September but that doesn't really count.

Actually, I think all four models of the court are out now. I don't remember if they were all together or dribbled out, though.

As for court - I actually remember there were released in 2 separate months - each time 2 models from court.

Got a look at the new WD. Turns out the original rumour was quite close:

Captain Ventris wrote:Also release of a Battleforce consisting of the following:
- 16 warriors
- 4 scarab bases
- 5 Immortals/Deathmarks
- 1 Ghost/Doom ark

Actually there are 20 warriors, 5 scarab bases, 5 Immortals/Deathmarks and 1 Ghost/Doom Ark. battleforce costs 85 €.

Thats definitely something I would be willing to get!

1 1/2 warrior boxes
a Immortals box
and a Ghost ark

That's $135 msrp worth of models for $110. Not bad... so we are getting our battle force in Feb?

25th February release.

$88 from the discount places is really nice!

Kroothawk wrote:25th February release.

That's for Battleforce only, right? No word on other new Necron releases at the same time?

That is a really nice army to start off with... all you need to do is add/convert a lord.

$110 for a battle force
$33 for a Command Barge (still the best deal)

And you'd have a HQ, 2 units of troops, a unit of elites, a unit of FA, and a heavy support (I come up with 800 points).

Right. This is a LOTR month. No Tyranid or Necron second wave in February.

Hurray, yes one of those please GW, and i'm getting more warriors than I thought I might.

At least we got a neat battleforce... Thanks for keeping us up to date, Kroot

5 scarabs,hell yeah!

Or even five Troops (four squads of five Warriors and one squad of five Immortals) and no Elites.

Points-wise for what you get in that battleforce, it's really hard to beat!

As before, the Necron battlefore seems to be one of the best deals that GW offers.

It really is. It's a shame I don't need any of those models!

I'm going to need one more box of Immortals and another Arc for sure.
So I'm kinda wondering how much do I need those 2 Warrior teams and Scarabs
Got about 14 more Warrs still in sprues / 20 painted. And I mostly use Immortals nowdays...

^same

though you can always trade/sell the Warriors...

and you can never have too many scarabs, even if you just use them as basing

I don't need any of those models. but I'm getting a Battleforce, just for the DD ark.

@MattKingsley No way ya can get too many scarabs. 10 base squad, 50 attacks on the charge. Escape that, LR!

Scarabs are one of (if not the best) units in the necron 'dex

although template totling tanks and whacking walkers kill them easily

damn vunrable to blasts/templates and instant death rules
