So with the robot space marines (who really aren't robot space marines anymore but i alwys liked the name) due in January NOW is the time for your completely false and made up Necron rumors

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/626667.page

1 - According to my inside source, Warriors will get a huge buff! I'm talking about 2+ saves, T5 and the ability to disrupt power weapons! Of course that also means a price hike, 44 points per model! Ouch! Leaked scan below!



2 - The origins of the Necrons will finally be reviled, turns out they are the lost 2nd Legion send back in time. They will revile this and accept Guillman as their spiritual leige and paint themselves blue.

3 - New special rules to go wtih "I'll be back" (feel no pain):

"Hasta La Vista, Baby" (Gauss attacks)
"Your clothes, give them to me, now" (looting)
"Ice to meet you" (Furious chrage)
"If it bleeds, we can kill it" (rending)
"Let off some steam" (killing blow)
"Get to the chopper" (phase out)
"Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women" (hammer of wrath)

Please add more!

In the meantime if you're interested check out my old retro reviews on the first appearance of the Necrons
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/224922.page

Mindshackle Scarabs now effect every model making a melee attack against the unit containing the model equipped with Mindshackle Scarabs. The leadership test is taken on the attacking models initiative, but before the attack takes place .

Now there is a Necron Relic that lowers leadership of every opponents models by d6+3 and only costs around 10 pts.

The Annihilation Barge will no longer be equipped with a twin linked Tesla Destructor.

Instead, it'll have 2 Tesla Destructors making it have 8 shots instead of the 4 TL shots we all know and love...

The King is dead, Long live the King.

Nightscythes will also get a drop in points of 30 and be able to hover.

No no, not this super elite warrior thing! GW wants you to buy hordes and hordes of warriors

Necrons will go to 9 pt per model. But they will have an army wide 4+ resurrection and you can take an orb for army-wide rerolls of failed resurrection.

So an unstoppable army of flootslogging zombies

Austrian accent: 2 pts per model. Thick accent causes confusion when necrons are within 6 inchest of an enemy unit. Units within 6 inches must take a pinning test

psychic power : raise dead. You can take the dead minis of your opponent and add them to your army.

Transcendant C'tans will be elite choices, they automatically become troop choices if you go unbound, which is irrelevant and makes no sense.

A new unit shall be released. It will be called the T1000 I mean the Necron Tomblordkoptek. The Tomblordkoptek is an advanced being made out of pure living metal that is able to change into any shape, absorb all small arms fire and has weapons that can rip through Tactical Dreadnought Armor with contemptous ease. The Tomblordkoptek can also be built into the Harvestnightankh which is just like the Tomblordkoptek except that it has AP4 weapons and costs 30 points more. Oh, and it has like... uhh.. fear?

Tomblordkoptek: 90 pts

WS: 5 BS: 5 S: 7 T: 7 W: 5 I: 5 A: D6 LD: 10+ SV: 2+/5++

Wargear:
Hand Scythes
Twin linked Gauss Flayer

Special Rules:
Shape change
Before the psychic phase you may nominate one infantry model to be the Tomblordkoptek. You may reveal who the Tomblordkoptek is whenever you want. Yes, even if the model in question is a pskyer and is casting psyker abilities. Uhh... this is because of... uhh... polarity... inertia... thermodynamics?

Feel No Pain (5+)
It will not die
Fleshbane
Ignores cover
Fearless
Shred

Hand Scythes:
Monomolecular quantum massless subatomic metals make up these weapons.

S: x2 AP: 1 Armorbane, Shred, Twin-linked.

Gauss is now strength D.

It would be interesting to play with these rules(especially #1), not all the time but could make for a funny game.

Tesla: For each hit, roll two more to hit dice. Shots generated by Tesla also have the Tesla rule.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
New Special Character Overlord Nikolai has the Staff of Tesla, with the following profile:

Range 36, S8, Assault 80, Tesla.

Wraiths are now troop choices and can be upgraded to 2++ for 10 points each

Warscythes. On a hit the target model is removed from play, no saves.

I'd heard it was Assault 100.

The monolith will be made into new kit that has 3 smaller monoliths inside the original..
when one is destroyed it is replaced with a smaller one and so forth...
Kinda like a russian nesting doll.

Each will have slightly diminishing stats.

and have to be bought desperately of course..
at 39.99 each
with the smallest finecaste....

We will see the advent of Edison Weapons, which steal the shooting profile of one weapon from the first enemy unit they fire at and file a patent for it's design.

There will be a new special character named Mu-Ram.
He has preferred enemy against space wolves.

Overlords may opt to brofist a Blood Angel character in a challenge. No attacks from either side are made that round of combat.

The Necron Player is then required to dump a bucket of Tyranid models totalling no less than 5000 points onto the table. (Sold seperately)

All Necron and Blood Angel models immediately become Battle Brothers allies.

I heard necrons will finaly be able to poop... will achieve biomass through a freak accident involving warp and nid/necron body parts....

True story

A

31-Necrons will have a new objective energon cubes which work like pain tokens for the Dark Eldar.

32-Necrons will get a new monserous creature lord called Meganecron. Armed with a gauss howitzer (s10) on his arm, at the start of any turn he can be removed from the table and another necron can gain the attack instead. he may return in later turns.

Leaked concept art below.



33-necrons will gain Preferred enemy-Taurox, especially the new Taurox special character Tauropimous Prime.



34-However Meganecron must always be one guard lest one of his Night Scythes betray him!

I died.

35. Necron Warriors will be reboxed. They will now be 5 to a box, with the exciting new price of $35 per box!

36. Games Workshop will no longer sell Scarabs. The only way to get them will be Forge World.

37. Female Lychguard special character (confirmed in Devourer (which is totally legit rules guys))

38. Immortals and Deathmarks reboxed with the exciting new price of $50 for 5!

39. Night Scythes and CCB/AB reboxed with the exciting new prices of $66 and $49.95 respectively!

40. Flayed Ones, Lychguard, and Monoliths get nerfed. (Str8 AP3 Large Blast guyz! It's better tahn the SPESS MAHREEN land raider!!1!1!11!!)

Oh right. FALSE rumors.

The Necrons will now have a new list of relics called the "Pointless and uninspired wargear list". It will contain a bunch of sciency words, faux-Egyptian and morbid terminology.

Necrons Flayers will finally be usable again. Wraiths, on the other hand, will be nerfed so hard that Hasbro had to be paid royalties.

Necron Overlords will now be able to equip a variety of Tesseract labyrinths. There is the regular Tesseract Labyrinth, the great Tesseract Labyrinth, the Ultra Tesseract Labyrinth and the Master Tesseract Labyrinth. There may only be one Master Tesseract Labyrinth per army unless you cheat and say there are more.

We will learn about the new Necron Dynasties. These necron dynasties are in a much better mood, because they didn't have to get up early, and would like to be friends with the Imperium. If you play an army from any of the Well-Rested Dynasties, you can now ally easily with any Imperial Forces (except Sisters of Battle, because screw them). The book will include a new Detachment with a single required Necron HQ and any number of Armies of the Imperium slots

New Necron Realm of Battle Boards! Now, your Dynasty can really awaken. If you buy the new Necron Dynasty Realm of Battle Tiles, you can replace one ROB tile from the ROB board you are playing on during each Necron turn (you ARE playing on a ROB board, right?). The new ND ROB tiles each provide special benefits to the Necron player as they rise up from the sands (or whatever ROB tile they displace).

Incensed C'tan. This C'tan isn't just Transcendent, he's incandescent with rage. The Incensed C'Tan forces any enemy units faced with his Gaze of Malice to take a Leadership check on 3d6, using their Wounds (or Hull Point) attribute in place of leadership, or suffer that many wounds with no save (vehicles loose that number of hull points). The Angrier He Gets: for each successful hit on the Incensed C'tan, increase the radius of his Gaze of Malice by 6" and add one additional die to the Leadership check required. A positive benefit of the Incandescent C'tan is that Unbound Tournament rounds can now generally be completed in two turns.

43-New unit! The Necronmancer is a new troop choice who injects victims with nanites that turn them into cyberzombies!

He'll come in a plastic kit with 10 zombies, humans in ragged imperial uniforms with various cyber bitz growing out of them. The kit will even come with some ork, eldar, tau and tyrnaid heads and limbs to make xeno zombies.

And then I woke up...

Monoliths will matter in the new book!

Necrons will get back old Phase Out rule. Only instead of 25% remaining, it will be 25% loss.

Coin toss on that one rather than it being nonsense.

They'll do something to tweak it. Whether that tweak makes it usable is another matter.

The transcendent c'tan can be taken for each HQ you take, and costs 100 points less.

Yes! I want!
