Was browsing the Necron subreddit when I came across this absolute gem for the Canoptek Reanimator.

I've already started brainstorming a few ideas for when I get mine but I was wondering if any fellow Crypteks here have thought of this before and if so, how do you plan on converting yours?

Agree on this, it's awesome. Will attempt the conversion, but need the bits in hand before I can say how I will do it

The C'Tan itself breaks if you look at it the wrong way. Mine was broken in box, and it broke another 3 times during assembly. It's fine now, but whoever decided to make a model out of nothing but small, breakable tentacles, and then force you to buy a superheavy to get it, wasn't really thinking. The Obelisk requires sawing to put together and the contact points for the weird tentacles at the bottom aren't really there. If you build the Vault, that has it's own issues since it's being held together by a few thin parts as well. It also has the footprint of 2 knights, without the durability or easy magnetization. You can tell it's an older kit.

So next Saturday GW are revealing more models according to there latest post. Should be good to get more info on whats to come

The T Vault is really unstable and is a huge pain to transport.

I thought they were talking about just the Transcendent C'tan part of the kit, not the Tesseract Vault.

EDIT: Didn't see next page

Yeah, hopefully it's some good Necron news. I'm predicting it may be the announcement of the starter set or whatever form the DDS and Lokhust are going to be coming in since they are easy to build. Will probably come with more information about the Marine ATV and Firestrike.

We also know that we are getting a Primaris Landspeeder and Predator at some point too as well.

Thanks folks for the explanation, never owned the kit (haven't played Necrons since 4th) and wasn't aware it was such a pain.

I'm really hoping for Flayed Ones - decided on Maynarkh for my 9thcrons and it wouldn't be fluffy without a giant pack of flayed skin wearing nutters. Reveals though might include e.g. the Monolith (which has been shown but not "revealed") or that weird Destroyer thing in the background of the army picture:

Spoiler:

I think the new flayed ones are gonna be much better with the ability to outflank now.

Also I actually have a theory that the new model of mentioned is a new Pariah type model. Not a pariah like we had before in looks but something to stop psychic powers with those weird orb things on its back maybe?? though I could be completely wrong lol so don't pay that much attention to my theory

Very plausible! There have certainly been crazier redesigns. I'd probably guess at something blackstone themed/which uses blackstone if we get a dedicated an anti-psyker unit. That being said, if Pariahs do return I hope they go back to the oldschool body horror lore, being made out of folks and all, although I expect you're right and any prospective Pariahs would be unrecognisable to their former incarnation in order to differentiate the unit from Lychguard.

I'm expecting the variant behind the monolith, the monolith itself and hopefully something on the new destroyer (and what happens to the other destroyers- replaced or continue on)
And thats it.
Edit: and the taller walker

I'm fearing a pile of primaris stuff, including half-a-dozen more individual characters on bikes, with jet packs, etc.

They've kept the reveals roughly 50/50 in all of the previous streams, so I wouldn't worry too much

Except were pretty much out of leaked fuzzy necron pictures, but not leaked fuzzy primaris pictures.

Yeah, it would be cool to get some info about the model behind the monolith, guessing that's the 3rd destroyer cult type that was alluded to.

I'd like to see some info about how the Monolith is changing, but If anything we'll probably only get some snippets.

We know this, how? I've not seen anything about those two models anywhere. Google search turned up nothing.

Not a replacement. He's talking about the several-month-old pic (last year?) of various primaris models. There was something vaguely light tank shaped (compared to the Repulsors) and Land Speeder shaped

I remember, the tank one was most likely the impulsor and the land speeder was probably the buggy.

I still think we are yet to get a normal destroyer model upgraded though since the new Lokhust heavy destroyer has a Gauss destructor not heavy gauss cannon i and curious to what weapon a Lokhusr destroyer is gonna have.

Also i'm opeful our other special characters are gonna get the Szeras treatment, i can't see them being happy with a "lowly" cryptek get a body upgrade and not them lol

I think its mentioned in some lorr somewhere that szeras like to disect sentient beings and see how the y work uncluding how he noticed that the human brain is resistant to the arp or something so maybe a new Pariah might have a psychic blank brain plugged into it somehere? I could also see it being like the Cryptothralls so Canoptek keyword in addition to normal words

I think since 9th edition is going to be about mobbing the center objectives. Mephrit, Nihilahk, and Novohk are going to be much more spicy than they were in 8th.

That, and, Immortals may have a reason to take Gauss blasters since CQC is going to be more common.

Nah, this is some new variant. It looks like a mix between a predator and Impulsor.

Plus the codex may hit tesla with the nerf that AdMech got in their FAQ- only unmodified 6s trigger the special effect.

I really hope we don't get that nerf, but I think we will. The problem is it will impact a lot of our vehicles in addition to tomb blades and immortals.

Well, that nerf would also mean that you can advance your tesla immortals now. Nephrekh players will be happy about that.

You mean vehicles with tesla ? How does that impact them ? Anni barges were crap, no one played them. Also, vehicles couldnt be buffed by MWBD. Tomb blades also couldnt be buffed by MWBD. They will be in a bad spot, because they cant shoot after falling back.

I'm about 99% certain we will get that nerf. It's just the way the game seems to be going for these sort of bonus effects. I don't think it'll hurt our tesla-equipped vehicles at all since pretty much all of them are terrible right now so I'd hope GW would do something about the bad stats on all the higher-strength tesla weapons. Damage 2 might be a good place to start as I think, outside of the new character-specific relic blaster, Necrons don't have much (or any?) ranged D2 weaponry. That might at least give things like Annihilation Barges a niche.

Well I'll be, I missed this pic? It was last year!?

Yep, pre Impulsor & Outriders

The "Repulsor Land Speeder" is something we still havent got officially yet, everything else is now unveiled


So, I am hopeful (probably niaively so) that this monstrosity is the last thing for Primaris for a while, since the turret, quad bike, and bunker were all completely off the cuff as far as I was aware

just so happens that this beast is the only mystery thing, mirrored with the dude skulking behind the monolith in our big picture.

I kinda want that to be all for the new stuff for both crons and marines, because my wallet's already crying enough as it is.

Whatever the tank is called that is sitting below the new Land Speeder has not been shown yet, either.

From the looks of the blurry picture it could be the Primaris Predator.

At the time people were thinking it was a Primaris version of the Baal Predator, since that main gun looks a lot like a big, dual barrel flamer.

Isn't it "Just" a Ball Pred anyway?

 IHateNids wrote:

I don't think so. It has some similarities, but there is also a ton of differences. This looks to be a new predator type, likely the primaris version of it.

Either way, we'll find out soon enough.

And now back to the Necron discussion ...
