I am optimistic. Wanna know why?

Because the softback Necron codex is no longer available at the GW store

http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Codex-Necrons-EN

Still available in the UK

I guess you can find it if you type codex necrons in the searchbar, but not if you nagivate by army

I'm gonna guess you're new to looking up Necron codex rumors, but
It's been that way for the past however many months.

Seriously, it's been mentioned in literally every Necron rumor thread since the web store site was updated and some idiot working on the organization made it harder to find.

... wait, why is this thread even still open?
Not enough wishlisting yet?
Okay, umm, I hope they give Destroyers more weapon options this time, and let Szeras choose his upgrades rather than assigning them randomly.

Fixed!

I am using this opportunity to purchase bits that will allow me to make use of extra sprue materials and finally painting up some terrain rather than pontificating on the unknown.

The Blood Angels Necron Alliance photo shows new a necron Warrior models.

It's a conversion, according to White Dwarf.

But the Lord stood behind it isn't, apparently.

That's Anrakyr

No, because that's Anrakyr whose already available.

As for the White Dwarf Necron Warrior conversion:

I hope so, don't want any more warriors, 70+ is enough.

LIES! I have over a hundred Necron Warriors, all the original metals, and that still isn't enough. It will not be enough until I can field a Necron force to outnumber even the Orks!

Can someone confirm whether those Nectons are on 32mm? The preatorians(?)

They are.

My Praetorians hang over the edge of my 25mm bases with the spread leg bits. And the Warrior is on a 32mm as well in the next photo. The feet aren't hanging off.

I think that strongly suggests a reboxing for these units, then.

All of my Necrons are on 25mm Scenic bases. I'm not changing them.

Why would you have to?

As for the White Dwarf Necron Warrior conversion:

Spoiler:

Translating the quote says that they cut apart a gauss disentegrator to replace the green rods. More of this conversion is on page 31, which I haven't seen leaked yet.

Here's the conversion...

That's a slick conversion. I'll have to keep that in mind when I redo my necrons eventually.
The lord looks like Anrakyr. No surprise that necrons went up to 32mm bases.

HEY LOOK!!! NEWS!!!
Necrons are getting reboxed (like Grey Knights did) and are now on 32mm bases.

That's funny. I did the same thing in reverse to give my immortals green plastic rods.

So I've got 40 of these lying around.

Yes, take your $36 box of warriors and pay another $33 dollars to change the rods, no thank you.

So we're still getting Necronspurs rumours?

Fantastic.

That's why I went a completely different direction and tried to replace my barrels with "lightning". Here's my first shot at it if anyone's interested. I'm still trying to get the light sourcing down but I decided to hold off working on my army until the codex is out.

Blood Angels and Necrons fighting alongside each other...well, that's going to cause quite a stir.

Okay, umm, I hope they give Destroyers more weapon options this time and an additional wound, so they stop dying when a couple of heavy bolters so much as looks at them, and let Szeras choose his upgrades rather than assigning them randomly.

*Fixed

Also, release on the 26th? Of December? I'm skeptical.

Me too. It's a Holiday here in Canada and no stores will be open, except for ones that are for the boxing sales, and we know GW doesn't do sales. Also when does GW release anything on a Friday? It's Saturdays that stuff is released on, not Fridays.

Now if we are going to still keep the Friday date, I can see this being a pre-order for us in North America (Would be Saturday 27th Europe time) and then be sold or released (if we are going to use that word properly) on Jan 3rd which is a Saturday.

TL;DR So a release on a Friday I don't believe in, but would be the pre order date.

Before he can achieve full meme status, a hilarious image must be created.

I had hoped that GW would release a more option-possible plastic Cryptek and Lord model.

That's a very neat concept, just as you say needs a little work I think. Thanks for sharing!

A local theory is that 32mm will start to be used for all the T4 models like Necrons and space marines, while T3 and horde models like guard and little nids stay on 25mm.

New Necron Lord model (from Facebook):

Looks promising.

Confirmation that Reanimation Protocols stayed.
