Hahahaha... the barges must sell WAY too well...

Barges have always been selling really well... but before the current codex came out, Monoliths were selling really well.
I wonder how those planning meetings at GW go?
"So this model is selling really well at the moment. Perhaps too well... Gentlemen, I propose we nerf the rules on this thing in the next book so no one wants to buy it anymore!"
*round of applause*

No, no... it's probably more like... stocks of this model are running low. Make more? No, let's make them buy this other thing that's been gathering dust.

Last week i heard from a GW staffer that the rough plan for several next editions are already under construction and partly ready, to plan how to shift sales from units and unit types for each edition.
This is also usefull to be able to know what to design next.
So the rules design does not follow the model, but also the other way around: models of a specific type are designed because that is what will be good next.
Especially in WH40K at least half a year before a new ruleset, some of the "new good" units were put to market.

I just checked the GW website, only the electronic Necron Codex is available now.

Don't mind the release of just a single model and an updated Codex. At least it's something new. Rather than that we'd have to wait till the 8th edition or something for a complete overhaul, GW is now at least updating their ranges sort of. Kinda similar to what they did with the Dark Eldar.

Once again, no, it is still there.

Hmm... Overlord Character... rules in box? Are we getting "The Silent King", with rules to make Praetorians playable?

Ok ... what...just... what?! We have a ton of options for models to use as Necron Lords/overlords - and only one crappy failcast Cryptek with no weapon/gear options and they decide to release a new Necron Lord model?

I say again... WHAT??!

lol Gw.

Exalted for perfect avatar-post match.

Until I see pictures from a White Dwarf I believe nothing. Though, I figured that they'd at least get the Crons and BA done this year so everything (except SoB) was up to snuff.

We could get a new Lord model, like the Orks got a the New Gorkanaught, Morkanaught kit. Thn 3-4 weeks later the codex will drop.

Blood Angels and Necrons! Woot!! What a great finish to the year!

Only the digital English version and French physical version are available on the Canadian store....

I'm really hoping we see the 'Crons come out as rumoured.

... did you try clicking on the link in the quote you just posted?
(Failing that, try doing a search for "Necrons" on the webstore)

Canada and the USA are different countries, so while it appears in the US store, it does not in the Canadian.

Then what is this?
http://www.games-workshop.com/en-CA/Codex-Necrons-EN
That is on the Canadian store.

Note that it is not listed under the Necron section, but a simple search for "Codex: Necrons" brings it up. It has been this way for quite some time now, as mentioned many times already in this thread and others.

http://www.games-workshop.com/en-JP/Codex-Necrons-JP here it is in the Japan store as well.

Yeah, it's on all of them.
It's always been on all of them.
The people who think it's been removed aren't looking in the right places.

Why is it not being listed with the rest of the army though?

Is it really that important?

All I'm seeing for necron rumours is just discussion over whether or not the codex is in the right place or not. M

It's on the website avaliable to be sold- moving on!

Part of the reason I wanted to start this thread was to specifically quash that stupid "I CAN'T FIND THE CODEX, THAT MEANS NEW ONE INCOMING!" rumor that been going around ever since the idiots at the web store screwed up and made it hard to find,

I thought that by putting it in the top post with the other rumors that everyone would see it and that would be the end of that.
...
Apparently I was wrong.

A little bit of correction of the Necron rumors: They will receive a codex, but it will be in January. There will be a major change to FoC in this codex. You will also see the release of the third "End Times" book in January as well.

They will be here before you know it. It will be a release similar to the Grey Knights.

Sorry to derail the thread a bit, but what was the first end times book? That the Nagash stuff? Were there rumors of what the 3rd one is?

Was curious if they were planning to do all 4 gods or what.

Great news from Lords of War Gaming via facebook :

I wonder what the major FOC change will be.

Whatever makes them the most money I imagine. Something pushing Tomblades and Destroyers I wonder. Maybe a return of the Monolith thanks to some tweaking and extra HS slots? Silent King and Praetorian shenanigans?

This is remarkable though. It's been claimed for ages naturally, but there it is, straight from the horses mouth.

So, no new models, maybe something gets repackaged, and the codex gets chopped up?

Codex: Canoptek Swarm, all the rules you need to field an army of Spyders, Scarabs and Wraiths. Highly compatible with Codex: Necron Dynasties, use both these books to recreate your old armies from the last book.

Now this is a supplement I can get behind!

Regarding the FoC change, yeah, Dynastic hierarchy differences would make the most sense.
As in,
Take a Destroyer Lord (maybe even just a regular Lord or Cryptek, if they let us this time?) : you can take up to X
Take an Overlord : you can take up to X+Y
Take a Phaeron : you can take X+Y+Z

Guess we'll find out in a couple months, if Lords Of Wargaming is to believed.

Oh, so another "Diet Codex".

Wonderful.

There's nothing wrong with that this time.
The Necron codex already has plenty of stuff in it, the only problem was the internal balance (half the book is incredible, the other half is utter crap).

If it was a rebalancing, I have a feeling most people wouldn't actually mind that... so long as they don't utterly wreck things.
