Necron Codex Update - Reliable Rumors And Info

[Jpipooly]

I have heard a rumor that the Necron Lords have been given sentience and infact turned against the C'tan and turned them into their slaves in a twist of irony.Also that each has his own dynasty and ideals any truth to that?

[diesel7270]

@Jpipooly Yes. You actually have it right. This video is way old, and all of this stuff has been proven in the White Dwarf release November 2011. I'll be releasing my codex review in a couple of days, so stay tuned for that.

NECRONS ARE COMING BACK WITH AN UNHOLY VENGANCE!!!! Lychguard, and Triarch Preaetorians are new 5 to 10 model melee squads. Lychguard can each use warscythes(all of which ignore saves), or new Hyperphase swords and Dispersion shields, which can deflect any shooting attack an enemy squads thats within 6' Praetorians are jump infantry who can use Rods of Covenant, power weapons that can double as AP 2 assault weapons. we lost we'll be back but every unit has Feel No Pain, so were here to say.

[CSMatherly]

@GearShotgun no...no no no no no no no no.... no..... Where'd u get ur information. Sure the codex is out now, but c'mon I knew we weren't gonna have a FNP months ago. First off, we'll be back is now a reanimation protocol 5+. Rez orbs make it a 4+. Now, TRIARCHS AND LYCHGUARD SUCK DICK. they sound nice but they have initiative 2 and they're 40 pts per model.

[GearShotgun]

@CSMatherly they didn't have that in White Dwarf, but hey that makes it even better

[CSMatherly]

@GearShotgun im happy its not a FNP honestly. The Reanimation Protocal (5+) cant be taken away by anything

[1cathar]

OOHHHHH MMMYYYYY GGGOOOODDDDD

SCARAB SWARMS ARE GETTING METAL EATER BACK!!!!!

[kamkazekid]

I like the disclamers!

[necromaticwolf]

i have necrons in fact i have about a 9-10 thousand apoc army of them and hearing these new rules made me so happy sounds like my army can actually win now without having to rely on just monoliths to bombard the crap out of everything i hope these rumors are true so badly *prays*

[GearShotgun]

honestly i've only played necron's once and i can already tell Necron warriors are STUPIDLY weak in melee. and rely too much on the the need for a monolith to beam their asses up outta CC what they would really need is for their flayer's to reduce the movement range of enemy infantry by about an 8th of an inch for each successful hit, maybe a 10th of an inch if their rapid firing.

[diesel7270]

@GearShotgun

Perhaps it would be easier to keep track of if you just made any unit within 12" of Flayed Ones count as being in difficult terrain.

Yes, the truth is that ALL necrons suck at assault, except the Nightbringer, who probably won't live long enough to get that close. Flayed Ones are pointless and Pariahs usually die before they get to kill a lot of models.

[GearShotgun]

@diesel7270 i see what you mean its probably just better to keep all of them in reserve in front of the firing line, so you can have them tie up anyone who wants to get at them and have the warriors keep firing into them. but hey i won't know until i try.

[Arenhope1]

Tomb blades? If GW relese that then its basicly rip off from Tomb Kings. I play necrons and vampire counts, and my vampire counts have got the same thing, except called Wight Blades, They get killing blow (enemy loses all wounds on a roll of a 6 to wound) and magical attacks, usefull, but some games plain pointless

[Ezunit1991]

hey i have necrons, but im thinking im going to sell, when should i sell? before or after the update? Im thinking people will buy after but will they just want the new stuff? hmmmmm

[diesel7270]

@Ezunit1991

After. Necrons will be hot, but no one is going to want to pay full price for them. You can sell yours for a fair amount. Chances are that most units will keep their old models, and those that don't will probably be desirable as OOP items.

[Owlsarehooting18]

Hey, do you know if the models are physically changing? should i not invest on sets of warriors/destroyers now? and wait? or will the wraiths/warriors/destroyers look the same??

[diesel7270]

@Owlsarehooting18

I'm not sure, but I would imagine the destroyers are going to change, considering their supposed reclassification to jump infantry. I'd wait and see. If I were you, I'd just wait. Unless you specifically want to get old ones for the collection aspect. I would be surprised if they change the warrior model, but GW has surprised me before.

[HenB1z]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO ITS VERY IMMPORANT FOR MY NEW NECRON ARMY THANKS AGAIN I LIKE THE PART WHEN YOU SPOKE ABOUT THE NEW VECHILS AND GOOD DRAWING ITS A VERY VERY GOOD VID

[murloc27]

Okay I'm still on the robes with them I've played tau IG and Orks! I love robot zombies but more then space wolfs anyway so I'll be watching and waiting hopefully there going to be epic! Also tombkings are sweet always loved the casket of souls!

[yugiohmaniac37]

I do not want the 1 of the most elite army's in 40 k becoming a horde. I want warriors that can stand in the open and stay alive 4 three turns.

[TheGreatNAO]

garddamn, just bought the old codex and battleforce -.-*

[KaralynAD]

@TheGreatNAO Dont worry, Warriors are still your main troop choice.

[aternoxx]

Tomb Kings in space?  ....reaaally? crap

[grimgun100]

Well I not know how my friend is going to act to this. He just got in to 40k and got Necrons along with blood angels and orks. Its going to suck for him to get new Necrons.

[thejokersvictim]

I actually hope they gain the rule, Feel no pain, because that would make since

[morgoth424]

Where it counts and just plain unoriginal. And you can bet your sweet ass Matt ward is gonna have a field day with the fluff. I bet we get stormravens and dreadknights too -.-

Otherwise I enjoyed the vid, thorough and well done. maybe you could do one on the sisters of battle release they is coming out with, hopefully they won't mess them up too. Cheers!

[morgoth424]

Very good overview, but cronz still just sound like crappy marines with worse saves, worse fnp, and worse rending. Imean transport vehicles and sergeants? What, do they have gauss fists now? I weep for my undead robots if they make them meq lite for all the newbie players. And they still suck at cc. Just what I wanted to hear. Tbh honest the only thing I was excited about were the ctan and no phase out. Otherwise, i've seen all this before, like what they did with those poor nids... Weaker wher

[ChaosBroodLord]

Good information mate, I shall relay this to my necron players at the club, keep up the good work
