Yay! I can see it now. This is a forge world model?? Really? Necron? Okay.

Oh no wait. Of course they won't. This is Dakka.

No, people will call My. Mystery a troll for saying that it was a hoax when it wasn't. And why wouldn't they? It's troll behavior.

Must have one to go with my 5 moniliths and 2 pylons must buy.

In regards to the "hoax", he probably just gave up, after all the dakka nay-sayers and jerks blasted him. Once again they are proven wrong...I love it. Oh and Dark Eldar arent coming out either huh? haha.

The assualt ram kit is a bit of a mess, I gather? I'm fairly surprised as usually the first casts are fairly good compared to future generations. for fw standards.

Beautiful kit. I'll probably buy one just for how cool it is. I love bugs and I love robots, so this is right up my alley. As a Necron construct though, it's just too campy IMHO. Spoooky robot skeletonsss and their creeepy robot bugsss... They even have a robot haunted house. I think we need a big robot bat next.

Bad ass! I thought it was legit.

All the cries of salt and what not are so stupid. Who cares if something is a hoax, it still gives us something to look at and speculate on!

I dig the rules, too. Crons need something like this, big time. Very unique looking as well.

Crons are looking better! This is a legit counter assault model.

It looks super cool, but why did they give it Gauss Flayers? Should have at least been the same gun as the Tomb Spider. As it is it's so much better in close combat that I'd always Run it rather than shoot a pair of Str4 shots.

My guess is that the Staff of Light as we know it today won't exist in the new codex.

I hadnt looked at it really until now, but I hate it.

I'm terrified of millipedes/centipedes for no real reason. That thing sends shivers up my spine...

You guys have the same avatar. Why?

I personally think it's pretty cool. Though I think they could have extended the back-end a little more. I think having it taper off would have been better aesthetically.

I stand beside my solution I proposed in the origianl "hoax" thread:

Mr. Mystey gets to stay because it was legit, and everyone that cried "hoax/photoshop/fake" should be banned.

Carry this policy forward and such threads will have much less drama and trolling in the future...

Yeah, all the cries of cheese are so dump. Like Joe Bob in his room in his house has the authority to call someone else a liar when in all reality he has no more clue as to what is going on than anyone else on the internet.

It always makes me laugh: "Well, as for me, I'm taking this here rumor with a whole barrel of salt!"

Like really? Who gives a gak if you take the rumor with a salt shower. No one cares! Your opinion is no more valid than anyone else's unless your name is Reds8n or you work for GW's dev team.

Like anyone is going to look back after a rumor is proved to be false and go, gee whiz, that one guy, on that one forum, that one time said he took the rumor with salt, and he was right! Wow, he must be someone special!

If you disbelieve a rumor: OK. Swell. Why go out of your way to try and act superior when we are all just a bunch of nerds salivating over what toy soldiers might come out next. Show a little class and say, well, maybe it's true, maybe it isn't. Time will tell, but in the meantime, thanks for giving us something to speculate on.

But it is the internet, where everyone is an donkey-cave.

So this thing is a monstrous creature and not a tank. How does it intend to fire two guns? Or are we to consider it twin linked?

Because monstrous creatures can fire two weapons a turn?

Which leads me to my next point of contention:

why two gauze whatnots? I find the weapon choices on this mc lackluster.

This is so cute!

I love it!

I really hope the next Tomb Spyder is plastic and sold in a box of 3...

"Hello Tyranid players. Look at your Carnifex. Now back to me. Now back at your Carnifex. Now back to me. Sadly, your Carnifex isn't me but if Robin Cruddace actually cared about the book he wrote and maybe playtested the crap that lies within it, then your Fex could be like me.

Look down, back up. Where are you? You're on the Forgeworld website weeping quietly to yourself. What's in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It's the money you will spend on the shiny new Necron codex you want so much. Look again. The rules within are awesome!

Anything is possible when your Codex isn't written by Cruddface.

*whistle whistle whistle whistle*

It'll be a pain to assemble, slightly harder than most other Necrons to paint (which is still easy), and it will be totally worth it just to have.

I think I need to start necrons now . . . that thing looks awesome!
Also: Nids with all their poison, sternguard, and snipers just got a cold shiver up their spine.

Well, why would someone with access to insider information, posting that insider information, want to stop the discussion about that insider information? Make a guess about what has happened in the meantime!
Now let's move on.

It's why I deleted that Necron thread regarding info I got. The dude talked to me and said he'd be in deep gak if it was traced back to him.

If this thing is in the new Codex, I'll definitely be picking up at least one. That model is just incredible.

I wonder if it's fancy special rules give us a hint as to how Wraiths are going to operate in their next incarnation. /musing

Tell me about it! Here's the comparison:

+1 WS
+1 BS
-3 STR
+1 TGH
+2 Init
Better leadership
Fleet, Deepstrike, Hita nd Run
Protection from sniping and Poison via War Construct (should help greatly against the new Dark Eldar)
+1 attack on the charge
Nightvision
2 Gauss Flayers

For 25 points less the Fex gets Living Battering Ram, 2 Scything Talons and suffers/benefits from Synapse.

Honestly, I think this thing is clear and away better then the Fex. Higher Toughness for immunity to lasgun fire? Built in protection from poison and sniping? Hit and Run? Fleet? Initiative 4 without having to charge, and an extra attack when it does? Built in guns that fire at a respectable BS? feth yeah!

Not that I'm complaining. Necrons deserve to have something nice. It's just that sometimes I weep for my Fex.

First of all, never compare FW rules to codex rules.

FW models are ALWAYS horribly over or under costed. The two rules writers are apples and oranges.

Second, everyone already had tons of Carnifexes, so they had to write rules to make you want to buy the much better Trygon!

The Tyranid book is plenty competitive and has multiple builds in it. I think it's great, but I don't want to derail the thread.

That model though, is sweet.

Hahaha, bring a few of those and a Vendetta and you can play Centepde on the table top!

I am definitely getting one and now I wonder, what glue would I use to assemble as I have no experience with resin models. Plastic, metal glue or some special glue?
