Hey guys, some new (and not so new) Necron rumours floating around on Warseer. The poster is usually pretty good with his stuff so here it is:
Hello Boys and Girls and Merry Christmas!
So the grey knight rumors are hitting fast, it looks like we will see them as the first 40k army of 2011. I have mixed feelings over what I've been hearing, a very lot of it directly conflicts things I know for a fact. But I cant call those items out specifically yet, I'm sorry...NDAs suck sometimes.
However, I have some new tidbits that I can share.
Looks like the dead machines may rise again in 2011. I have good information that Necrons should see a revision following GK. What I have heard:
New Codex drops mid year.
WBB changes to FNP for "most" units
New HQ options include "One" new C'Tan. Nightbringer and Deceiver to get new models...and at least one will have optional "incarnations"
New Tomb Spider plastic model. option to create alternate model that is Heavy artillery.
New fast cc focus unit. jump infantry. warrior sized.
new models for immortals.
new "tank" - could be the TS based artillery just referenced from different source.
new MC walker - likely the rumored "Necronmancer" - may be HQ or Heavy-conflicting rumors here.
New plastic Lord with all options.
New named Lord metal blister
New Monolith option...not represented in models to be released.
Also, in other rumors, August is being banted about as Tyranid 2nd wave. To include:
Doom blister
Tyrannofex plastic with options to build as Tervigon - unreliable rumor as to the optional build, but I'm throwing it in
Harpy
Tyranid direct only lashwhip bonesword upgrade blister for warriors
"yrmgarll?" direct only genestealer blister...like flashgit model, one pose, direct only.
On the flyer front. Theres a rumor of a thunderbolt fighter in design for plastic...from the sound its very early, and if other rumors are true of a "flyer" WD supplemental release, it would not make that cut.
As always, my rumors are typically far off and subject to change. but so far ive got a better hit to miss ratio...hopefully GK wont ruin my record...
Cheers
Enjoy

Nice rumours, I want to see more Xenos and less "servos" in 40K. Waiting for the new plastic necrons, if they are close to the dark eldar they will be amazing.

Monoliths are pretty useful, so maybe you'll still want a pair of them. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

the wise man waits for the codex, for sure (Im resisting the urge to make some crack about Badruck rushing out and buying a ton of necron stuff straight away...)
The way I see it, buying the models and planning the army is where a lot of the fun lies - if you buy em all now, then youve had your fun. If you wait for the new book, then it can be something to look forward to, no?

some folks in the Podcast that I have been listening to... have heard that Monoliths may be given structure points and taken to Appoc only status...
