Flogger kirjoitti:Jos käy GW:n sivuilla katsomassa, niin suurin osa Necronien uniteista on kadonnut myynnistä. Tämä perinteisesti enteilee uusien yksiköiden tuloa lähitulevaisuudessa.

GW laski BT:n ja Taun kirjojen hintaa, ja Necronien kodekki on kadonnut myynnistä kokonaan. Tästä voinee päätellä mitä on seuraavaksi tulossa.

Okay, so I sent an email to the What's New Today staff regarding getting some information on the Necron release. Here's what I got back - nothing spectacular, but it does sound like the release isn't extremely far off.

Hey Daniel,
First off, thanks for the email, it’s great to hear from you.
As you’ve probably guessed by now, I can’t really tell you a huge amount about Necrons because there isn’t a huge amount to say. When an army hasn’t been updated for a while, rumours will often start to circulate that the army is being remade. Sometimes this is correct, sometimes it isn’t. What I will say is that Codex Necrons has been removed from the website for some time now, which is a good indicator that something is being done with them.

My advice: If you buy any of the Necron plastic kits you’ll be fine – they will not be changing. Hopefully that will be enough to put your mind at rest for now. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait just a little bit longer. But, as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait.

The latest in the rumor mill.....
Necrons are confirmed for an announcement the week of October 22nd thru the 29th. Right on schedule with Hallows Eve. We would be seeing an announcement in the November White Dwarf and seeing releases and pre-orders Novemer 5th.

Preorders for Necrons go up week of Oct. 23rd.

You will be disappointed that some models only get converted to finecast.

You will be happy with "new" old models.

Big Necron model is more impressive than I thought, visually. Hope it has rules to back it up.

Rumor has it that a new Necron shooting attack can cause large swaths of your opponents army in a new interesting way. How it works is simple…
1.Necron Shoots Unit
2.Necron Hits Unit
3.Necron player allocates where the wound will be (how this is worded I have no idea)
4.All identical models to the one just shot are now hit
5.Roll to wound all models that are identical
6.Make armor saves were applicable

Here is an example. I shoot Necron weapon at a squad of Long Fangs. I hit and chose my wound to be rolled on a Missile Launcher Long Fang. All Missile Launcher Long Fangs IN THE ENTIRE ARMY are now hit. Now think take this a step further. What if I shoot a Ork Boy?


Here is the other way this weapon could work.
1.Necron Shoots Unit
2.Necron Hits Unit
3.Even though I only hit once I roll to wound every model in that unit.
4.Opponent makes armor saves where applicable

Now this doesn’t sound as scary as the first example, but it is basically GK Cleansing Fire power for Necrons. This version also fits in with chatter about multiple weapons that deal with horde armies.

Enter highly speculative realm that shouldn’t be taken as facts.
My fear though is that both these rumors are true. Here is a way it could potential work. One type of Necron gets the lesser version of this has this weapon. Another Necron lets say a Special Character gets the power to strike at all identical models army wide. I have a feeling that either way this weapon will be short-range, one shot, low str, and no ap value otherwise we are looking at some game breaking territory.

At least one of these rumors should happen which one though…

Okay, a much more full description of the rule is like this:
This rule applies ONLY to the units the special Necron character is engaged with (it doesn't affect every model in the enemy army of the same type).

It happens after the Necron character has killed someone in combat and after all blows have been struck on both sides.

Roll a D6 for every type of model (friend or enemy) that the special character killed that turn. On a 4+ all other models in combat of that type take a wound (armor/inv saves can be taken as normal).

Example: If the Necron character kills an Ork Slugga boy in close combat and got the 4+ roll, all other Slugga boyz in the same combat would take a wound, but NOT the nob (as he's a different type of model). Any Shoota boyz, for example, in the same combat would be unaffected as well. If he killed a marine and got the roll, all other marines would take a wound, but not the vet sgt, etc.

It would seem that if this Necron was fighting against another Necron player, then he has the potential to hurt his own forces if the same type of units were facing off; if he was attached to a unit of warriors that was fighting against an enemy unit of warriors, for example.

This rumor is off. It applies only to a hand-to-hand close combat ability possessed by a named Necron character.

This rule applies ONLY to the units the special Necron character is engaged with (it doesn't affect every model in the enemy army of the same type).
