Some of the French codex images are hitting /necrontyr.

Monolith is now a Lord of War option.

Wraiths supposedly getting Reanimation Protocols and dropping to a 4++ (taking posters word for it, the photo it too blurry to read/translate)

Orb of Eternity
"Figure with an orb of resurrection only. this relic replaces an orb of resurrection. once per battle, in your Command phase, the wearer can use this relic. In this case, choose a friendly <dynasty> unit 6 "from the carrier, not in its initial strength and whose resuscitation portocoles have not been triggered at this phase. the resuscitation protocols of the unit are triggered , and all destroyed models in the unit begin to reassemble. Also, add it to the result of each of those reanimation protocol tests."

Nanoscarab Casket
Each time the wearer uses their living metal ability, they regain an additional 1 lost wound.

The Infinite Arrow

figure with a tachyon crossbow suelement. this relic replaces a tachyon crossbow and has the following profile:

The infinite arrow 120" assualt 1 16 -5ap 6d

Abilities: The wearer can only fire this weapon once per battle.

Veil of Darkness:
"Once per battle, in your movement phase, the wearer may use this relic. in this case, the wielder's unit and up to a friendly Core <Dynasty> unit within 3 "of the wielder may be removed from the battlefield and replaced there anywhere more than 9" from any enemy models. if two units are returned to the battlefield using this relic, they must be within 6 "of each other."


Voltaic baton

figurine with a stick of light suelment. this relic places a stick of light and has the following profile:

Voltaic baton[shooting] 18" assualt 4 s6 -2ap d2
Voltaic baton [melee] melee melee +1s -2ap d2

Skills [shooting]: With each attack of this weapon, an unmodified hit roll of 6 causes 2 additional hits.

Reap the Nether

figure with a null scythe or a fauchard only. this relic replaces a nether scythe or a fauchard and has the following profile:

Reap the Nether melee melee +2s -4ap 3d


Abilities: With each attack of this weapon, the rules for ignoring injuries cannot be used.

The Monolith becoming a LoW is not surprising. But it is sad because it’ll now cost lots of CP to have in your army.

Ouch, so Outriders are limited 3 bikes without weapon options.

Monolith is a LoW choice? Yikes...

Thank you!

I don't know what I was expecting. I don't know why I was hoping for more.

They literally have zero options outside of the models made for Indomitus. The Sergeant can't even get a power sword.

God-damn it GW... why are you like this?

Infinity arrow is pretty lame relic. Who pays cp for one shot weapon that's pretty much negated by inv save

I know it's because of translation issues but "Stick of Light" is one of the funniest things I've read today...

Guess indomitus models are only models for those then

The wording "the weilder's unit" makes me wonder if the rule for Crypteks getting to be taken for each Noble without taking up a slot makes that Noble and Cryptek a unit. Wonder if a Noble and Cryptek can grab a Core unit and bamf across the battle field.

Don't shoot it at something with in inv save then

Someone that basically wants to guarantee 6 damage to a vehicle?

Cranky old robot wielding a canr of light

Oh, confirmation on the Thunder Hammer nerf?

I know it's early but boy are these relics not filling me with confidence.

Sigh. So yet again Resurrection Orbs are once per game.

Calling it now that this relic will be a hard pass.

Perhaps in 10th GW will finally realise why no one ever takes Resurrection Orbs anymore.

So we've gone from healing d3 wounds in each player's turn *and* coming back on a 4+ the first time it dies to healing a single extra wound. Ouch.

One-use-only.


Regardless, thanks very much for the leaks, Sasori.

This makes more sense when I realised 'it' was 'one' as it comes from 'un' in French (also love the translate of 'staff' as 'stick' lol)

So this is neat wording, and looks like 'reassembling' is going to be carefully added to rules. Makes me suspect that 'repair' abilities like on the Ghost Ark may interact with this somehow? Add an additional model to the models 'reassembling' or something? Suspect the Orb of Resurrection will be this effect without the +1 too...

I take it this is for FNP type saves?

There is more to the Nanoscarab casket. that one is wrong. It has a reanimation aspect for sure.

Is there gonna be a rule for the monolith not costing CP to add to your army and not getting dynasty benefits? Or is it basically not worth taking now that it’s a LoW?

LoL - They could have at least been a bit cheeky and given it Infinite range!

Yeah, there's not a whole lot to justify the name.

I wish They'd just made the arrow a little weaker and removed the 1/game limit.

The necron nerfs just keep coming boys! They were so overpowered before, thanks GW very cool

Whelp they made the Nanoscarabs complete garbage. Fantastic to know.

What are you even talking about? The core mechanic of the whole army has been revamped to actually, yknow, work

So Destroyers have the two gun options, but Heavy Destroyers don't. What?

On the Terminator datasheet it was AP -2 D 3.

Anybody got an IMGUR of all the marine datasheets that have leaked?

They're under heavy support.

No, you can take Heavys in a regular destroyer squad like before for +15 points. The Heavys are 70 for either option in ther slot.

There's a stratagem for 2 cps that allows ALL the c'tan's attacks to ignore inv saves for that melee phase.

Spempiternal weave

Nobel infantry figure only. add 1 to the wearer's toughness and wounds characteristics.

the conflagrator's gauntlet

this relque has the following profile:
the conflagrator's gauntlet 12" pistol 1 - - -

Skills: with each attack of this weapon, the attack automatically hits the target. instead of making an I of injury, roll a d6 for each model in the target unit: the unit suffers 1 mortal wound for each result of 6 and the attack squience ends.


Star Conduit

mephrit figurine only. this relic replaces a relic Gauss flashlight and has the following profile:

Star Conduit 36" rapidfire 3 s6 -2ap 2d


The ruler's diadem

nobel szarekhan figurine only. the wearer has the following skills:
- Command Wave Amplifier (Aura): As long as a friendly Szarekhan unit is 9" from the carrier, it benefits from the chosen directive of your army's active command protocol as long as it is 9" away from the carrier. necron friend character figurine (c'tan echarde figurines excused), instead of 6".

- Synthetic Cortex Optimaster (Aura): As long as a friendly Szarekhan CORE unit is within 9" of the wearer, it benefits from the dual directives of your army's active command protocol, instead of just the one chosen.


The infinite mantle

nihilakh figurine only.

- add 1 to armor saving throws for the wearer.
- whenever the carrier is advised to lose a wound, roll a d6: on a roll of 6, the wound is not lost.



The scythe of blood

Novokh figurine with a scythe of nothing or a fuachard suelement. this relic replaces a scythe of nothing or fauchard and has the following profile:

Blood scythe melee melee +2s -4ap 2d

Abilities: Each time the wearer fights, he makes 2 additional attacks with this weapon.


the winner's mask

sautekh figurine only. At the start of the combat phase, you may choose an enemy unit within 3 "of the carrier. The unit is not eligible to fight in this phase until all eligible units in your army have fought.


Solar baton
Nephrekh figurine with a light stick only. this relic replaces a stick of light and has the following profile:

Baton solaire [ranged] 24" assaut 6 s5 -2ap 1d
Baton solaire [melee] melee melee user -2ap 1d


abilities: with each attack of this weapon against an infantry unit, if a hit is casused, until the end of the turn the unit is blinded. blind units cannot fire overwatch or prepare for defense (see warhammer 40,000 core book)
