They have to have Shred. Hello:

How about fearless and poison ?

Fearless and AP 3 ?

Those claws should do something. Didn't they start off as power weapons, back in 3rd ?

I like the idea of flayed ones having the gargoyle rule which lets you regenerate the unit once they are all dead. Make them like zombies that just keep coming.

I think in 3rd they gave +2 to Hairdressing.

"Just a little off the top..."

While that would be cool in concept, they would still suck at their job.

Fearless, FNP, and Shred for 2 or 3 more ppm and I'd be on it.

Im hoping for a complete tone down like the rest of the 7th ed books..... muhahahahahhahahhahahahhaha

You never know. It could be the last Codex to come out in hardback, and Mat Ward may be back on the job...

If they were also troops then that could be enough to see serious play since they deep strike and infiltrate.

In fact, I hope Mat Ward is on the job. Is that possible? Fluff be damned the current codec is pretty damn good all things considered.

(Side note: do they even credit the author(s) of codices anymore? Wtf?)

As someone pointed out on the last page , fluffwise it doesn't make sense for them to be troops, being crazy and just showing up when they want, or to hold objectives.

Exactly my point. =P

Eh, no poison. Doesn't really make sense IMO. And AP3 would be pushing it. They would have to be incredibly expensive per model if that were the case. I'd rather them do something else.

They could have some half-troop status where they can't score objectives themselves but can challenge objectives secured by other troops. Makes them pure disruption units.

Ehh, that is a possibility. Give them a special rule like Death Company and Spore Mines that says they cannot score, but in their case, can contest. That would actually fit their fluff very well, and make them decently useful. Dunno if they should be moved to the Troops section though. I feel that having Warriors and Immortals is the backbone of the Necron army, both game and fluff wise.

I'd like a cheap Canoptek troop choice. No Rp, low stat line cheap objective holder

Ummm, I would say Scarabs, but they fit best in Fast Attack. I don't really know what, fluff-wise, would fit in the Troops selection. Since, Canoptek things aren't actually Necrons, but entirely machine. But, I dunno.

Just a thought....small spyders? With particle caster on top?

I may just convert some for myself and homebrew rules, I'd be really surprised if GW ever gave necrons cheap troops.

I'm thinking of homebrewing the entire Codex. My thoughts on what everything should be or do.

Use the wraith head ,body, and legs and you can make man sized spyders.

Found this on a Google search. Replace steampunky exhaust with particle caster perhaps. Not sure how big the models are though.

Are all Necrons male? Where does it say that? (honest question, I just didn't know this)

Have you seen a Necron Wraith ?

That's the head and main body of the Wraith

They have the generic bodies based on social class.

Lords got nicer, more custom jobs. I don't think it would be out of the question for a Female Lord to have commissioned a female form.

Just saw this model myself and I'm quite tempted to buy one and it as an Overlord

I think I'd rather have something like this:







They just look so much better than our 'Tomb Kings in space!!!' lords.

No, 3e flayed ones were just 3 attacks, CCW, 3+ save. They had some nasty Morale effects though.

A hundred times this.

I did this, years back. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9nlW1CprBdPUzhGTkl1bFFSNzQ/view?usp=sharing if you want, have some inspiration.

No, there are some female Necrons mentioned in IA12.

I'd like to be able to choose between the machine munching scarabs and the flesh eating variety.

You can do that with the Maynarkh list, you don't have to upgrade Scarab Swarms to Charnel Scarabs.
