What the hell is that all about lol

It's from the Internet, do not try to understand it

lmao

that actually made me laugh, it's so random it's quality!

Clearly the guy struggles to explain how they feel about the rumours!

Why is it I feel this thread doesn't have long left?

Thankfully though, at least Yak is keeping the OP up-to-date to save people having to scroll through 33 pages...

i think its gonna blow up if yak posts again. itll totally die if an email goes out though. then a new one will pop up to replace it. necrons threads are like roaches.

Yes I would agree necrons are like roaches and I squash them with my stiletos.

I hope yakface comes up with more juicy rummors. Today is a very boring day at the office.

Well now I'm just picturing a bar scene that someone here needs to draw...a Necron trying pickup lines on the juke box...or just sulking alone in a dark corner...Space Marine jocks arm wrestling and playing drinking games...a Daemonette trying to pick up, well, anyone...a..'stylishly' dressed Eldar looking like he may be in the wrong sort of bar...a Wych looking as if she may be in a different wrong sort of club...a Mek 'fixing' the jukebox/tap/lights/barstool..or a Painboy attending to a passed-out patron...a Hormagaunt trying to eat a plate of greasy bar food with its scything talons...a techmarine/AdMech cheating at pinball...so much potential for stuff going on in that scene with the various factions...

Hopefully the new Necron codex will have rules for bar fights. (see? it's on-topic!)

Ha! Ha! Ha! If GW got a set of rules for barfights, that would be hilarious... (I could just see it, scatter dice + 1D6 used to determine movement in the movement phase). But anyways, I want to clarify, for the sake of remaining on topic-ish, gauss weapons lose the auto wound on 6 but keep the auto glance on 6, am I correct in my understanding?

It is in my understanding yea, so it doesnt change much other than now str 4 gauss weaps cant touch toughness 8 mc's but how many of those are there anyways?

Less soon with the likely toned down versions of C'tan we will be seeing.

Well even if I have reservations about these rumors I'm just sorta glad to see a 33 page thread about an upcoming xenos release. Change of pace and all that.

Not really a bar but closest I could find.

Why would the C'tan be elites, sounds strange to me

Well, if they're now "bound aspects", serving the Necrontyr, Elite would make sense. HQ wouldn't do because they're not going to be leading the Necrontyr into battle, Heavy Support could but it doesn't reflect the supposed versatility of the potential upgrades, Fast Attack wouldn't do, and they can't be Troop because we already have Warriors, Immortals and probably Blood Angels if you take the Silent King.

1.) Is phase out completely gone or now only per Necron unit as sme rumours said?

3.) Are the C'tan more like "aspects of C'tan", otherwise filling elite slots with upgradable gods sounds a bit weird.
4.) Are you sure about one unit, pariahs, completely disappearing from the Codex? Is this a first? Or have they become Crypteks perhaps?
5.) Any rumours on miniature releases?

BTW ere a pic of someone's scratchbuild Necron transport following the sketch:

Google Chrome translates the French to English quite satisfactorily.

I was hoping the transport would look like the Star Wars MTT droid rack

The thought of lowering 20 warriors a turn feels cronically cruel

DaemonJellybaby wrote:I was hoping the transport would look like the Star Wars MTT droid rack

Necrons should have something similar

just those ranks of crons locked down in a massive tank, maybe a more lengthy monolith?

If it was a fast skimmer i woudl prefer it to look somethgin liek a cross between a monolith and a skiff.

Maybe a chopped down monolith if it supposed to be open topped?

What's to say that this couldn't hold say 20 Warriors?


I mean it could open up the side flaps and eject 10 warriors on each side that has been bunched up like those drones from star wars. It wouldn't be fluffy but it would be plausible

But thats the thing with Necron tech a Necron transport doesn't actually need to be large enough to have x amount of Necrons "embarked" on it only a portal large enough for them to disembark from like the Monolith as they can actually be "embarked" elsewhere and teleported in via the transport.
Giving the transports a actual transport capacity unlike the Monolith (at least at present anyway...) is likely more due to mechanical reasons, from a fluff perspective you could sell it that the transports power matrix or whatever is not powerful enough to displace more than the transport capacity or more than a single squad at one time.

Necrons have TARDIS-esque technology, they can fit massive areas into little spaces. A Necron transport need only be the size of an, I don't know, phone-box, and it could fit 10, 15, 20 Necrons.

I got told but forgot, which codex have been confirm to be released in the next few months?

are we any closer to the necron update?

There is no confirmation. It's Games Workshop, giving their customers a hint to their releases would actually make us hope.
