So it's safe to assume the new symbol adorning these marines is that of the Bladeguard?

The new floaty Destroyer(I'm assuming its the heavy version) is so good. But top right next to the 2nd Monolith, is that Necron specific terrain? Also looks like the two Liths have different guns?

Loving the look of those Necron walkers, also some nice new terrain in the background there.

In between the monolith on the left and the walker, zoom in and you can see a new flayed one.

Or not maybe, either way its new.

A ranged Destroyer Lord mayhaps, since if it was just a new heavy they'd show the light variant too.

That one eyed guy doesn't look like a flayed one. No skin or anything. Probably a dual kit, if they released the three legged lord separately.

Yeah seems to have two many limbs and not enough wearing its victims skin like a poncho for a Flayed one. But its def new and looks super creepy. I want one.

Actually that's not true, I want lots of them. And everything else in the picture.

The details on the new Monolith are just amazing(omg is that a half teleported Warrior?). Necrons are going to be one of the best looking army's out there once there new kits land(at least until I butcher them with my painting "skills")

The light ones are maybe on legs now (tripod fellas)

Who do we think the weird sort-of-but-not Cryptek dude is? He looks really cool, and seems to be a floating top half with those 2 awesome hunched familiars.

That's a new Orikan the Diviner, isn't it? I can't imagine them making another new Cryptek, given the release of the one with the floating scarab disk. At least now he'll have a noticeable model. His last one was terrible

God those Necrons look awesome- didn't expect to see the floaty destroyers - maybe they are still a thing and thats the heavy version - not everything is in the pic- the mew melee destroyers and scarab swarms aren't there.
Definitely a creepy guy behind the new monolith and it looks like thats terrain in the background too. Looks like an awesome release!
Love the attendants for the floaty lord guy at the front..

Maybe a high ranking Triach guy, since a similar one is on the hover throne

Okay, so how does this guys coat work? The left side of it is unbuttoned and coming down. But does his arm go through it? How does he put on his cloak?
EDIT: Never mind. He's got a sleeve

hes just like feeling it. He wants to show those gains on the gym.

never really been a Necron fan, but this new look is really nice.

Wait, the shoulder pad is on top of the other sleeve though?
So he has to detach his shoulder pads to put it on, and I guess that they're magnet-locked in place over the top?

EDIT: Actually wait, does he even have both shoulder pads? Looking at it again, I just realised there doesn't look to be one behind where he's resting his sword.

So it's interesting to see that the Bladeguard Veterans are going to be hitting with D2 swords.

And since the big walker has a Cantopek face, I'm guessing it'll get that keyword.

Ah, and Necrons aren't just getting a tripod, they are getting 2! Although technically not a tripod as these have four legs but that has never stopped anyone.

Looks like the monolith has an option for a partially revealed necron coming through the gate, but isn't mandatory. The one in the back is necron free thankfully

From Facebook:

Oh man that C’tan looks absolutely incredible!

I’m pretty sure the shoulder pads have been show to be separate “bolt on” pieces for Space Marine armor before. If only because that’s how the shoulder pads on models work.

Funny thing is, if both of the sleeves are designed to go between the shoulder and the shoulder pad, that explains why it’s all pooled up on the side without the shoulder pad—the sleeve falls off without the shoulder pad bolts to hold it on.

If you were made of money, I wonder if you could make a sweet Dark Mechanicus army combining Admech, Necrons and Ossiarch Bonereaper stuff.

= Hey, kids, wanna see some models?

For those curious.

Someone asked what would I have liked to see revealed yesterday. These. This more than makes up for the lame preview of yesterday.

Necrons are seriously tempting. I have never been a huge fan of them but I might enjoy painting them. Leadbelcher undercoat + Contrast paints = profit?

I can't unsee the new logo though. Why isn't the "A" centered? Why does the end of the "R" bleed over the boundary? Who signed off on this.....Maverick or Goose?
At least the models are great

All those necrons releases are seriously tingling my wallet... except for the 2 big walkers. They're ugly

We already saw the Tomb Stalker, Cryptek, Immortals, Triarch Preatorians/Lychguard and Doom Scythe in picures so they will stay the same.

I would also be very surprised if the Tesseract Vault, both Arks, Wraiths, Tomb Blades and the Barge get replaced.

The old Overlord could be replaced by the other one we saw in the starterset image but I think that one will just have a different weapon

Also those big new Canoptek construct could replace the Canoptek Spyder but personally I don't think they will.

So that leaves all the different resin HQs which I expect to either be replaced with new sculpts or get squatted (the Pope guy could be an new Orikan the Diviner)

Also Flayed Ones which would be very weird if they won't get a new model but nothing until now

Despite knowing better I find myself quite drawn to the Newcrons.

The artwork was always infinitely cooler than the actual models, but this time around they seem to have course corrected and really put out some cool looking machines.

I have a few all quiet on the Martian Front walkers that may need to get done up in Dynasty colors now that giant quadrupeds are a thing.

Hopefully the new starter is priced better than Blood of the Phoenix, but I'm not holding my breath.
