Yahoo! Finally necron players can feel free to play with necrons and they are not only collecting dust. Wbb? Yes please! Fnp? Definitely no! Necrons have to be unic and that can only happen with wbb. Phase out have to stay! Its hearth of necron army. Rending gauss... awesome! I hope that they get some kind of drop pods and they have monolith portals. Simply, necron could bring their reserves trought em.
Ill be waiting...

Perhaps, before deployment like with Spore Mines, you can buy Necron Obelisks and scatter them onto the board, then pull Necron Warriors through in the same manner as a Monolith. They'd be EXPENSIVE, but worth it. I'd rather that than a Drop-Pod equivalent, or more emphasis on Monolith Portals, because as useful as it is to pull a unit through a Monolith's portal, that's one less pie-plate I can drop on my opponent.

Finally after millennia of waiting for the new codex the necron players awake from their ancient tombs !

I wouldn't be massively happy about it, but I regularly play a Daemons player and I wouldn't mind him getting a new codex. So long as the next codex isn't another colour of Marine, I'll be happy.

The daemons thing would actually be pretty funny, a big F-you to all the GK players who are out there stomping on them right now

kenzosan wrote:i will laugh so hard if out of left field we get a new chaos deamons codex :O

I'd be good with that, actually. Last wave they got models, but are still a 4E codex, right?

I consider myself to be a necron player, and 2003 is a lot more dated then 2008, but 40k codex publishing is not (or should not be) a zero-sum game, I can be happy for other races also getting some long overdue love.

I'd actually like a new Daemon codex haha, I'm playing Daemons right now and I'm not in the best of cash situations for new Necrons, so yeah I'd love new Daemons actually, then Crons around Christmas.

Tecnically 4th,a ctually a 5th ed codex.

haha, that was funny, i like you guys. yea, my reason was just like, "f you gk!"

i just feel for my friend, i ran through his deamons with vanguard on my ba.

What's bad is when people who grew up on Braveheart et al try to correct your knowledge of history

Codex Tartan Marines had better come with a how-to painting guide or a hell of a lot of transfer sheets

An american tourist tried to with me. Was working in a shop, in Stirling, growing up that area... Yeah I was amused. Some idiot actualy thought the Wallace monument WAS to Mel in' Gibson. And I'm still 100% sure Wallace didn't have a Galsgow accent

And ofcourse it wont come with any of the above, that way more paint is used, wasted as it dries stupidly fast and ofcourse the whole of the pot solidifies within one session Though I was thinking they're worship Russ probably, you know, get drunk and fight a lot along with a bit of pillaging and looting wenches along the way. Those poor daemonettes....

Space Wolves successor chapter, recruited from that imperial guard world? Kaledon i think ?

Well i suppose that since Storm of Magic is set for July, we have to expect the Necrons later...i just hope it's not going to be too late this time... I'm just starting with them and i'd hate to play with a totally outdated army...

I think this is going to be pretty cool, but i feel GW keeps simplifying things more and more, although this isn't necessarily bad, sometimes i feel it robs the army of part of its personality. For example, on the old Guard Codex, i loved Doctrines, but they were replaced with orders, not so bad but still, takes away from the Army. And i think they could have just improved We'll be back instead of completely taking it away.

Hey do you guys think the new starter set could be Necrons and SOB? They did say it wasn't going to be marines in the set right? Plus it ties in fluffwise since the first IoM encounter with Necrons was on a SOB shrine world.

And to top it off there's that book coming out about the SOB revisiting the location of that very same Necron encounter. That would be the perfect set for me, 2 of some of my fave armies in one!

They also said no Xenos. My guess is still SoB vs. Chaos (maybe CSM-lead Cultists?), but a Sanctuary 101 starter box would be great, too.

If the Black Templar topic has any merit, next set sounds like Templars and Daemons (not really beginner armies eh? some merit they got )


But even then Crons and Sobs dont sound likely at all.

Oh no Xenos, must have missed that part :p

Well if it's going to be Templars, Chaos (well CSM or even LatD :O), and SOB that's all fine by me. Daemons seem like a weird choice for a starter set, unless they change the way they play.

starter set no marine no xenos... chaos/guard?

Also no hammer of the emperor so no to the guard

kenzosan wrote:starter set no marine no xenos... chaos/guard?

No. The rumour says "What makes 6thed potentially earth shattering is the version of AoBR we will get. For the first time ever neither Xenos, the Warriors of Roboute Guilliman, or the Sledgehammer of the Emperor will be chosen to fill the starter box."

Xenos is obvious.
Warriors of Roboute Guilliman is Space Marines.
The Sledgehammer of the Emperor is Guard.

It could mean no Ultramarines rather than no Marines. Roboute Guilliman was only the Primarch of one legion, after all. My bet would be on GK vs Daemons.

This is off topic, but seems like some people have seen the prototype of the BT/Daemons 6th edition starter, which is in line with the Blood of Kittens prediction that you quote (no Xenos, no IG and no Ultramarines).

linky comin' up http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/Hammer-and-Anvil.html

The premise sounds pretty awesome.

This makes me giddy.

Sigh. Another book featuring the Necrons where the 'crons will lose in the end. Hopefully it'll be better than FoD, where they lost like what, 5, 6 marines while taking out hundreds if not thousands of Necrons?

It makes it a bit hard to buy the fluff and the whole grimdark bit when all their stuff tends to have the marines winning with kill ratios of 1000:1.

When have Necrons lost to the Marines in fluff? Never that I've read...

And I thought Necrons were first found on, the gorkamorka planet. Is this false? D:

Thankfully I love both the SOB and Necrons so no matter who wins I'm happy! As for "Fall of Damnos" or Necron fluff in general I tend to not care a great deal about who really wins, what got me hooked is the insights into the Necron race. As a side note, though I haven't finished Damnos, in the Necron and SM codex didn't the Necrons win that planet?
