Or less... usually less.

I imagine they too go rumor-searching from time to time...

Here's a treat:

Our spies have infiltrated the Nottingham warehouses at Warhammer World and we can guarantee the release of all new plastic NECRON DOOMSCYTHES AND WRAITHS!! Also we have seen what seems to be a mysterious new ork plastic flyer/skimmer! We think it may be a plastic fighta bomba ready for all new 6th edition!! - Sam

Dang facebook is blocked.

Any chance for someone to rehost for the work blocked.

Well, there wasn't anything more than the quote I copied, so link was only as a proof...

AAAAAHHHHH!!!!
THIS IS AWESOME, WE GET ALL OUR MODELS!!!!
(suck it, Space Wolves and 'Nids!)


lol, but seriously, this is great news.
if only their spies had been able to tell whether the Wraiths will be multi-kit Spyders as well, and whether they'll be sold individually or as a box set, it would have been the greatest news ever possible!

Ah, jumped the gun there, thought there might be pics, obviously their spys don't come with the standard issue mini cameras.

Well, looks like it's going to be 3 Wraith Box separate from Spyders :(

At the moment we don't know. All we've seen at the moment are boxes piled to the roof of the warehouses that contain plastic wraiths. No idea as to whether they come in sets or as single models. I imagine they would come in sets of 3 and are likely to priced around the same as the recent Thunderwolf cavalry. I will find out and post any further info later!

Same source.

But, the usually-reliable BoW have said No Scythes in the second wave.

Ah, but they could have just seen the FRONT of the box, which would probably have the Wraiths on it (much like the Lychguard box has the Praetorians on the front).
I'm gonna reserve my despair/excitement until I get confirmation one way or the other.

That looks like somebody has misread and misreported the post from TheUnderdog on Warseer which reported boxes of plastic Spyders and Wraiths in the warehouse, not DoomScythe along with a possible sighting of the Ork FightaBomba.

I don't think I'd put much credence in the first rumors (that I've heard of) from some random Facebook page.

Just to piggy back on RutgerMan's post, I was in my local GW yesterday and the red shirt there told me kind of sly like to keep my eyes open for a Necron second wave in the near future. He's usually fairly clueless, as they mostly are, so if it's coming from him, it sounds like Nottingham is letting some info out to the employees. I just want some Wraiths...

According to beasts of war the second wave is out May 5th

May 5th with all bar Scythes
OR
Everything at some point "in the near future"

Just think: if the Scythes come out with everything else on May 5th, this thread will FINALLY be able to die...

... unless we use it to start talking about the Forge World stuff they're working on for Imperial Armor 12?

nah, we'd probably all talk about stuff that wouldn't have been released, ala blades and SC's

But Tomb Blades are in the upcoming weave is seems... We will only be missing Scythe (or not?) and IC's like Orikhan and Anrakyr (shame, wanted his fig soo badly)

last I read they weren't

Just convert an Overlord to include a Che Guevara beard & beret.

For a longer period of time, multiple sources were mentioning:

Triarch Stalker
Tomb Blade
Canoptek Wraith
Canoptek Spyder

See : http://www.beastsofwar.com/warhammer-40k/necrons-may-5th/

Szeras was mentioned long ago and confirmed now.
The upgrade packs are new rumor.
The change from Anrakyr to Obryron and Zahndrekh is new rumor aswell.

Scythes are not missing. They are exactly where they want to be.

lol the spies must have X-ray in they eyes to see through carton boxes as after hot-shrink wrapping operations all goes into boxes. Boxes are then labelled up with barn code and short description and stored in project team’s warehouse. No chance to see what is in the box without opening (reaping top barn code) and that would be noticeable by project team and investigated…..
Anyway, next week you should have some more stuff in WD.

Guys, I'm disappoint.
BeastsOfWar just updated their "Necron Second Wave" post with a list of the coming boxes-

Here’s the updated list:

Triarch Stalker – Full Plastic Kit (1 per box)
Tomb Blade – Full Plastic Kit (3 per box)
Canoptek Wraith – Full Plastic Kit (3 per box)
Canoptek Spyder – Full Plastic Kit (1 per box)
Nemesor Zahndrekh – Finecast
Vargard Obyron – Finecast
Illuminor Szeras – Finecast
Destroyer Lord Upgrade Pack – Finecast Bits
Heavy Destroyer Upgrade Pack – Finecast Bits

http://www.beastsofwar.com/warhammer-40k/necrons-may-5th/

... not only are the Wraith and Spyders not in the same box (no multi-kit), but it looks like the Doomscythe didn't make the cut.

*sigh*
(._. )

Those look good for me at least. My sorrow if forwarded to anyone who needs the Doom/Night scythe in their list but apart from that it looks like a substantial list that really covers the codex and in good time too.

I'm surprised people were really expecting Wraiths and Spyders to be in the same box; they may be of similar-ish design, but they'd be pretty-radically different sizes.

I kept saying that the Adeptus claims of a Scythe was pish and lo and behold...

I think its amazing that they have mannaged to get rumers out so early before the 5th, there is still around 2 weeks left before they are sposed to come out.

Two week ahead rumors, that's late compared to what it was with wave one and Ogres.

They had pics almost a whole month before the models were on sale in some cases.

According to a GW employee I know, many blackshirts go on 40k forums but don't reveal their status. Many are simply fans of GW games/lore like we are.

Destroyer Lord Upgrade Pack – Finecast Bits
Heavy Destroyer Upgrade Pack – Finecast Bits

...
Welp, time to start stocking up on Metal heavy destroyers...
Glad Tomb Blades and Wraiths will be in separate kits. I was a bit worried they'd try to dual kit again.
STALKERS!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
