This has been bugging me for a while, but isn't Natfka just an, for lack of a better word, aggregator? I mean, the site just displays news/rumours from various locations. It's not as they're generating the rumours themselves.

I mean, we don't question petre's reliability because he reports on rumour-mongers that have proven to be wrong.

No.

Natfka is both an aggregator and a rumor monger.

Aggregator: He collects rumors from various other sites of other rumor mongers (Darnok on Warseer, Harry, Steve the Warboss, BOLS, etc) and posts them on his blog.

Rumor Monger: He has anonymous sources which he posts first hand to his blog that no one else has. This is identical to when Darnok says he got information from 'little birdies' or Harry says 'sources' or BOLS 'says medium accuracy source'. We have no way to distinguish between Darnok and his birdies, Harry and his sources or Natfka and his 'anonymous source from faeit 212'.

Also, pretre. Not petre.

Well my local gw store manager reckons March. I sort of shrugged and so did he.

As many times as people get your name wrong you should just go ahead and change your avatar.

Of course, they get H.M.B.C.'s wrong too.

Well, 'An Ancient Evil Arises' could imply Necrons (and a lot of other things as well).

Usually it's the 'Crons when they refer to "Ancient Evil" unless it's a fantasy release.

Humans referring to the Necrons as evil is the pot calling the kettle black.

After all, 40K humans are self proclaimed Xenophobes. LOL

Rules of Engagement? A timely updated to an excellent asymmetrical missions system? Yes please!

Somewhere, an internet troll is laughing hard enough to fall out his chair every time we get excited about the "rumors" he just made up and posted.

I'm calling it now, Codex Demiurg, Fall 2015. The codex is already done. They have a superheavy mining vehicle, 3 combi plastic kits that make 2 unit choices each, and jet bikes.

The Ancient Evil thing is going to end up being FB, not 40K because GW.

It's ok to be xenophobic when the other races are actively trying to kill you/enslave you//eat your soul.

Anyone who practices human sacrifice on the level of the Imperium should take a hard look in the mirror...

That is best thing about 40K. Humans, being human, think they are the heroes of the story. The logistics of running an empire so vast have lead to a bureaucracy incapable of empathy. Individual humans no longer mean anything in comparison. Mankind is often the greatest threat to itself in the 40K universe, and is incapable of understanding that situation.

Burn the witch.
Purge the mutant.
Kill the Alien.
Suffer not the traitor.

The Imperium of Man is a commentary on how bad things can get when people blindly follow.

I believe it's been a few weeks, but it's happened often enough that it's become a site meme.

1. It was Commissar.

1. You wrote 2 twice.
2. Your third point is dead wrong which is funny considering how condescending you came off in that post. The actual list is Hive Fleet Leviathan from Shield of Baal (3 Hqs / 3 Troops) + a normal CAD (2 Hqs / 2 Troops). Skyblight adds 1 Flyrant when used...
3. How annoying is it when some one retorts in this format?

1. This thread now has too many lists.
2. There's nothing wrong with writing 2 twice.
2. See?

Small news but it appears that the necron codex has been removed from the GW site (in the UK atleast)

It doesn't appear to be on the US site either.

That's been the case since about september.

so is this old news? The necron rumours have been very quiet....

Well there is that single Ancient Evil line in white dwarf if you conveniently forget that could apply to about 50% of Games Workshop's armies and Necrons haven't been universally evil in years.

Decent odds it applies, but it's far from the only thing that line could refer to.

Yeah, it's only been the iBook edition on there for some time now.

Another small note is that Destroyers have been listed as Jetbikes for a few weeks now. I don't know if this was a long-existing error or if we'll see them moved to that type in the future.

Foe once, this is actually true. For the longest time you could only get to the codex by searching "codex" on the site.

That'd be nice. Upped utility, Jink, and Jetbike Destroyer Lord would be a great HQ for 500 point skirmish games.
