There are official Thunderwolf Cavalry models now?

Check out the nid rumor thread, pg 31-33.

If that's March it makes me wonder when the new Necron models are arriving...unless March is just a huge month for releases...

Its possible the Necrons won't be released till April. All of March is filled with recasting of old metal Nid and Space Wolves models into finecast.

Most recent rumors point to May.

Right now it looks like April is Empire month.

So:
Mar-Nid/Wolf wv2 month
Apr-Empire
May-Crons wv2?

That's what it looks like right now.

May?! Gah :/ Wasn't it enough we had to wait 10 years for a Codex update...
Tyranids get update every edition, SW are second most popular SM army.
And we are bound to wait again. Goddamn, need to vent :/

Tyranids had to wait 2 years for their second wave though.

SW waited a pretty longtime for their update, something like 6 or 7 years.


6 months is really not THAT long.

I feel your pain, but as a Cron & Nid player I'd like to point out that not only is the new Cron dex is stronger than the Nid one, but Crons got models for a greater percentage of their codex units in the first wave. Nids waited 2 years for their second wave and even after the upcoming release of the March models, they will still be missing 4+ models from their dex. May is fine for Crons, just be thankful there are multiple Necron builds that are viable even using only newly released and existing models. As for the Space Wolves... If you are looking for equal treatment/ love from GW, good luck with that. If a Xenos army was redone and powered to the level of SW or GK, there would be riots in the streets and the SM players would be burning their local hobby gaming stores to the ground. That said, I am shocked at how long it took GW to give them their TWC and FWs.

GW could have at least kept the Spyders and Wraiths in production if they were going to wait this long to put out plastic versions. Really, the secondary market is putting these at double to tripple their retail price and I bet that once a player has 9 Spyders in metal they'll only be buying 1 unit, if any, in plastic. I know I've flushed out my metal Wratih Squad and at best I'm only going to pick up enough to make 2 Squads since I most likely won't run 3 and if I decide to I'll just use my Metal Squad for the 3rd.

So, what d'you think guys? Will we have to wait like the tyranids and the space wolves waited for their 2nd wave? Like a year or so?


Obviously most rumors about the 2nd wave were false (thank those who just invented dates that made us all so sure it would be in february or march) and there are so many things on schedule (6th ed, probably some stuff for fantasy) that it is legitimate, I think, to stop believing in a fast second wave...


So should we start building lists without spyders, wraiths, scythes and tomb blades? And make do with what is available?

I think a wait is inevitable, but only to may/june something like that

April is supposed to be empire month and new paints if I'm not mistaken, so may it is.

I'm building more of 'gun line' lists supported by scarabs. Hopefully, I'll be able to find some spyders locally for that.

Dark Eldar second wave was May last year, right? There is hope.

Anpu-adom wrote:Dark Eldar second wave was May last year, right? There is hope.

It was June actually.

Pesonelly I think the Necron 2nd wave coming before 6th ed is safe as houses, but then inspite of the hype to the contrary I actually expect the CSM dex to drop before 6th as well.

Theyre definately befor 6th ed im sure of that.
Not so sure on CSM though

this is what I reckon
crons 2nd wave
6th
CSM
SM
BT
Tau
DA
...

or something along those lines

It would be good for me if it was Cron wave, 6th CSM DA Tau.

get me new crons (yay)
get the 6th ed starter box, nick the good stuff and sell the whole lot as a SM army (money=yay)
DA to shut all the whiners up
Tau so I can build a decent army at last

Lol look like I might have made an accurate prediction since supposed pics have been leaked.

I just started to salivate at the comment.

He meant nids and sw

Would Necron Bforce be wave 2 or 1.5?

Matt.Kingsley wrote:He meant nids and sw

I was thinking that, but he made his post on the 29th of feb, after They went up for preorder.

Probably right though.

Go to frontline gamings blog. Pics were released in Spanish dwarf.

I'd say 1.5.

How is this important? Oo

It's not even a bloody wave in my opinion and I've just wasted 2 lines on such a useless question

Now THIS is interesting.

I don't see where Recius and the guys are talking about any leaked Necron pictures. A while back, they did talk about the WG and Tyranids pictures.
