but then again the chaos gods dont ride to war with their soldiers personally like the ctan did so if they do move ctan to apocalypse then i would be fine with it.
I think making the C'tan the titan equivilent for the necrons would be AWSOME!!! Think of what kind of models forge world could cook up for that?
And, has anyone noticed that in the back of the necron codex it mensions that there are necron warmachines powered by the bodies of victims? Wouldn't THAT be cool.
And there are many references in the codex to a forgeworld-like death machine? lots of the eldar prophesise point twords one. Sound like a Death Star anyone?
I can't wait to dust off the metallic ones. I DO hope they change the WBB rules. These are often confusing to those who don't play Necrons that often. Phase out being gone would be nice also.
I really really hope for more troop variety. That is the reason I shelved these guys. They got boring to play by just using the same 5-6 units every game.
Well what i heard from a redshirt last saturday (me checking out the new marine 'dex, sneak peak time) is that necs are going to be the next seriously overpowered army in the game, even with the new marine and guard codices coming out. He said something about "army-wide rending".
But maybe (hopefully) that's just his wishful thinking because he plays necs himself.
Rending for gauss weapons has been the rumour forever, based on a set of "rumours" that were actually just some random guy on the internet talking about what he would like to see in the new dex (FNP replacing WBB was also part of this). Enough people heard about this from second-hand reports of his post for it to become "news".
I don't know what will be in the new necron dex and it could well be rending and fnp. I do know, however, that a redshirt is and has always been the least reliable source of rumours possible until said redshirt has read the book (after which he becomes a somewhat random source of half-remembered stuff kind of like the contents of the book).
To put this into context, I told the staff at my GW that 5th edition 40k was on its way when I got a copy of the playtest pdf (which I gave to them). They didn't hear anything about it from GW until it appeared on their release schedules months later. GW itself appears not to like rumours very much, though it is unable to control them, as it likes to continue selling books to kids right up to the day they become obsolete.
A good rumour is one posted by someone directly connected with the website they are posting on. These people have a stake in getting stuff up early, and also that it is true stuff. If you see one of the mods here post a rumour, or someone like Brimstone or Mkerr on other sites, then it's probably worth looking at.
i wonder what they'll have new for the miniatures range. there's really nothing to change or add in the range, besides maybe a customizable necron lord.
I imagine we'll see more plastic kits especially if the rumours about flayed ones not being elites turn out to be true, there was some mention of a new troop type and a new vehicle somewhere as well
They do need to add some flavor to the Necrons. I didnt plan on playing them but when my friend was selling his well painted army for very cheap I had to jump on it. After a few games with them I grew bored and went back to my Dark Eldar.
The have good quality units and the WBB can really be a pain but it was just the same strategy for me over and over again which got old. Flayed ones as troops would be nice and maybe an added unit or two. Possibly more unit upgrades or something to add some color.
A Monolith is anything BUT easy to kill. It has all armour 14, ignores melta- and lance special rule and throwing in 5th ed damage table you need a LOT of luck to get ist down.
My personal wish list for the new dex:
FNP replacing WBB
Rending on all weapons
C'tan something (Titans sounds like a godly (excuse the pun) idea to me)
Tiered Lords
New units
Rearranging certain units (Scarabs as Troops, but not counting towards FOC)
AND more Apocalypse stuff. What's we get out of Apocalypse? A bigger monolith, a few formations, and an extremely expensive turret (and the Lord with Ress. orb, but I don't even count that).
If we get all that, I'll be happy. Then again, I would be happy if 6th edition was just 3rd edition with the 5th edition cover artwork and hobby section on it.
This is the best( worst?) example of threadomancy I have seen to date. Lol Not quite sure if we are suppose to report this or not.... Oh well. I am sure it will be settled.
Please for the love of the Emperor, check how old a thread is before posting people. Also if you do feel you have to add to an old thread, make sure it's something useful, but ideally, when a thread is as old as this start a new thread with what ever information you have.
people have been speculating about a new codex since the release day of the current one, i think it will have to arrive in 2011
