Here is the info I transcribed for him:

The Hexmark Destroyer looks and sounds great!

2+ BS and reolling 1's to hit. Everytime it kills a model it can shoot again. Sounds like 6 strength shots base with some Ap, and it sounds like he does something with cover.

Also confirmed as an elite and a character! You start him off the board and he clears enemy objectives well.

A six shot deathmark destroyer who can snipe characters ?

Based off what they said in the stream the Hexmark isn't going character hunting, that's still the Deathmarks job, it's role is to clear Infantry.

If it has the same intercept ability that Death Marks have, I'll buy one.

99% sure it was mentioned in stream that it does.

Necrons clearly saw the Kelermorph and decided that it was an excellent idea, but that it was hampered by a lack of guns.

Its mentioned in the article

The Hexmark Destroyer is a Deathmark who has fallen to the Destroyer curse and wants nothing other than to kill absolutely everything around it. While other Destroyers fly around with massive cannons or scuttle forward with phase blades, the Hexmark Destroyer takes the Deathmarks’ propensity for surprise attacks to epic levels. They burst from their dimensional oubliettes, the corrupted Destroyer engrams targeting and dispatching nearby enemies in a hail of enmitic disintegrator fire.

The Hexmark is... Not what I was expecting in the slightest, still awesome though. It is a bit odd that its a character, but that could make it good in my opinion.

Drop this thing right behind a unit of Skorpekh to kill chaff so they can chage the stuff being hidden sounds like a good idea

It sounds perfect to counter Scions ganking a DDA or backfield HD's

I reckon the pistols will be str 6 ap -1 1 D to keep them in line with all other Enmitic weaponry.

Now the shot count is the only thing I'm not sure about, so far all enmitic weapons have done 2d3 and 3d3 so maybe it'll be a straight up d3 pistol shots? 6d3 would mulch anything and if like the other enmitic weapons it gets blast then I'd feel sorry for an ork or nid player

I cant imagine that if there are six of them, and you can shoot again everytime you kill a model, that they will be more than one shot each. Even at 6 shots total and S6, ap -1, that thing will absolutely murder chaff or light infantry if it gets to keep shooting it's full complement of shots.

Did they mention the range of the guns?

Nope

So he's essentially a walking circle of death, where nothing lives in a radius of perhaps 12"?

He's our Kellermorph, basically

I expect him to function exactly the same

They're pushing us closer and closer to mechanized Tyranids.
We even hav pistons and cables hanging everywhere.
I thought we were made is Living Metal.

With the changes to both the scythes and the arks I'm very curious to see if the barge will change as well. It'll get more shots but will it have a stat change?

Every model now is some type of mechanical insect/spider? I liked Necrons when they were Egyptian-esque Tomb Kings.

I don't know how they are going to fit this Gunslinger into the lore, but Deathmarks and Destroyers have little in common, as far as I remember...

Oh cool, another destroyer variant. Looks like an assassin type.

Only canoptek and some destroyer variants. Which makes sense, as the former are machines and the latter want to embrace the machine aspect instead of larping as Egyptians.

Destroyers are just Necrons that give in fully to nihilism and destruction, all Necrons are susceptible to becoming destroyers.

In the case of the more sentient echelons, they modify their bodies to better suit killing.

Rather neat that its a hero and not an alternate build. Seems that destroyers will split into two broad variations - those on legs for close combat and those on a hover base for ranged attacks.

Destroyer status is basically a computer virus, and necrons actually fear it can infect nearby stasis-crypts.

This is somehow different from flayed ones, which is supposedly (at least according to the lore article yesterday) a 'death curse' from a C'tan, and they somehow 'creep in' from their 'nether realm.' Which is a weird sub-bundle off fluff that makes no sense with anything else, new, old, or current.

The barge is gonna go 10 shots for tesla destructors maybe a 3+ save
The tesla cannon will probably get a few shots and the Gauss cannon is going up to strength 7 I think. I'm going by the triarchs stalkers new "not" heavy gauss cannon as that has stats pretty much in line with current gauss cannon and I reckon they're just gonna ret con it to that or I could be wrong and its going to be a new weapon entirely

The big thing with these new stat sheets is the 3+ save it means we are now more vunrable to grav weapons, grav bombs will now be a major threat rarther than an annoyance.

Ugh. I hope they're not retconning more fluff. The initial reboot (hurr computer pun) was bad enough.

In Indomitus book (by Gav Thorpe), it's not described as a virus but as a form of nihilism that necrons can succomb if they stay to close to Destroyers. Not because it's a virus, more because being a necron is quite depressing, and becoming a murder machine is a way to accept yourself for what you are in a sense.
That how i read it at least.
It's perhaps the only thing about necron that was somewhat interesting in that book, not that this part was especially well written, because i still find it rather meh, but all the other stuff about necrons was pretty bad.

As far as I'm aware on flayed ones - the C'tan death curse and hanging around in an alternate pocket dimension (oubliette?) isn't new. Although the idea that this dimension is the Bone Kingdom of Drazak (which has previously been a sort of Flayer Kingdom out in the Ghoul Stars) is notionally new - or at least mangled.

I always thought it was the difference between an actual malefic curse for the Flayers, and just generic computer data corruption for the Destroyers.

Not too sure if I buy into the "self acceptance" thing for Destroyers, but it seems about as plausible as anything else I've seen. Fall of Damnos has a few passages written from their Phaeron's perspective, and he succumbs to the desire for destruction eventually

With the Indomitus box I am finally back for Necrons.
Can't wait to get back to my first 40k army.

Have seen a discussion about new rules for QS a few pages back.
What about a rule like Ghazkull got, with getting a maximum of 4 dmg per phase?
In one of the newer FAQ's there was a part about rules that do extra damage (despite rules like Ghazkulls) interacting with rules that prevent you from getting more than x damage.
Which was kinda weird because Ghazi is the only one with a rule like that and so far there are no units that have rules that would prevent him from using it.
I can see more units getting a rule like this with QS being one of the best candidates.
Maybe just helping in the shooting phase with getting max 4 dmg there but getting no bonus in CC or psychic phase.
This would actually help us, unlike something like a 6+++ or a rule that can be outgunned by using the right weapons.

My only hope in all this is the codex comes out in the wash better than the marine one, not because I dislike marines, not because I want crons to be top tier. Just purely to stop the whinefest about marines.
