More warriors! Bah! I already have 70. I guess these aren't made for existing Cron players.

I'm only going to keep them in the hopes that 6th edition troop spam turns out to be made of win

I dunno...
2 20 man Blob Squads each with a res-orb lord will be b*tches to kill

Until they get into the CC with an enemy assault unit.

still. 23 attacks, 3 of which are power that have a habit of coming back... even an ork mob would struggle, especially if the necrons got a shooting phase before the assault began.

23 attacks iff you don't lose any of your models to your enemy, which would usually strike first because you have an int of 2. Also 20 gauss flayer means nothing when your enemy has FNP, is moving in cover or can transport his/her force to you easily (trukk, etc.). 20 Warrior blob is a weird mixture of anvil and bait, it has its uses but don't expect it to survive a proper CC.

I didn't say or implie that they'd survive. They'll tie up the opponant long enough for some lychguard to arrive. (with 4+ invun, some of them'll survive, even vs power weps)

I don't think they can last enough to tie an opponent. Then again different people different tactics. I've just wanted to say that it wouldn't be b*tches to kill.

well, depends who they'd be attempting to tie, right? Abbadon & Co, wouldn't survive the round. Tau Kroot, yeah, at least two rounds.

But yeah different people different tactics

Darnok over at Warseer posted this from an anonymous source:

The already "known" Necron wave was confirmed: 2 flyers, the big walker, the jet bikes, Wraiths and Spiders. I quote: "The wraiths and spiders did NOT look like a dual kit".

So ALL missing units were confirmed - nice! Hope blades, wraiths and spiders won't be 1-per-box. Thumbs up for 3-box (or 5box for blades).

If wraiths and spiders come 3 to a box, they will likely cost as much as a monolith... Which is actually not THAT bad. Id prefer ghost ark pricing

Considering Fantasy has been doing a lot of "3 bigger dudes to a box" with the Tomb Kings and the Vargheists for Vampire Counts, I'd expect a box of 3 wraiths to be a certain possibility. They've all been priced around $60 though. As for Tomb Blades, they're bikes if I'm correct? Bikes have been 3 to a box for around $40 for a while now.

I agree. haveing them as singles was just dumb. reminds me of tau suits. To dam expensive for a single model!

It's why I'm very hopeful for a 3 Crisis/Broadside box. They can do it with kans, they can do it with suits!

That'd be an empty bank account on my part for sure

Kroothawk, does it still look like a March release from what your hearing?

Wow I really dont have any real input just am amazed that this thread is still going strong with over 200 hundred pages.....it is as undieing as the necron themselves.

damn right, and march is what i heard too.

Tyranids seem March, Necrons anytime between March and May, maybe even March and May. No rumours to get more precise currently.

I am seriously doubtful gw will release necron wave 2 before tyranids and sw wave 2 as they have been needing wave 2 for so much longer

What is SW wave 2? Thunderwolves, a Special Character... and what else?

For SW, I think actual TW is the only thing needed for a 2nd wave

People keep saying that. Said it with Dark Eldar too.

And things need to be hashed out in the Chapterhouse lawsuit (aka, GW needs the right to be able to create TW and various Nid models) before those guys can get a wave 2.

I love it... GW needs permission to create models based on it's own IP that doesn't violate the copyright on Chapterhouse's work... classic. But I don't buy it.

Nids early March, necrons and IG sometime in March as well. Probably later in the month.

Yes. But to that point, had GW released these kits in a timely fashion chapterhouse would not have been able to make a tervigon conversion kit in the first place.

I think that a Carnifex/Tyrranofex/Tervigon box would have or would be well appreciated by many. That's all three in one, not one each.

You say that like GW will ever release a Tyranid model again.

The only Wolf models could be Thunderwolves, Fenrisian Wolves, and some special characters. Not quite a wave per se.

Not to mention Necrons are missing crucial models (Wraiths, Spiders, Stalker, transport) , and SW only lack like 2 units who are more of flavor than "must have" componet to their army.

but on that note, people will argue Ghost Arks are the transports.

But we NEED wraiths
