WAAAAARD! aka New Necron fluff.

[Grailkeeper]

Having had a look over the new necron fluff it seems to have been heavily "Warded".


In particular one character Trazyn the infinite Is going to cause some fanboy problems I predict. His collection of special items includes what is heavily implied to be a primarch as well as the preserved head of Sebastian Thor. I actually am more annoyed about the Head of Thor, this guy is a MASSIVE imperial hero, who to all intents and purposes ran the imperium at one stage. There is no way the imperium would let that go, and why would a necron want it? I could maybe see the attraction to a necron in having a being of great power like a Primarch under their control, but why would they want an imperial relic?I predict Trazyn will be the Necron Draigo when it comes to Fluff.



Thoughts?

Trazyn's kinda a hoarder. He likes collecting weird stuff. It's not "The Necrons" wanting the head, it's Trazyn, the individual, wanting the head. The Lords have personalities (well, they've had those before the 5th ed. 'dex too), and often times, eccentricities. Turns out spending millennia in a robot body can make you a little bit crazy!

Anyways, chances are the Imperium has no idea who took the head, where it's hidden, or even if it's gone. He could've just teleported in some scarabs to nab it for him. I don't think he'll be much of a Draigo (heck, even the Stormlord's fluff, while heavy handed, makes much mention of the guy's weakness as well as his strength). Ward isn't a universal constant, he can improve.

A 5th Edition Codex - written by Mat Ward, no less - has terrible background?

Shocking.

Kinda says it all, don't it? Ward's writing isn't judged on quality, but on how much worse it could have been.

They have to start hinting about primarchs here and there now if they want to bring them back in 6th or 7th edition.

So true :')

Ward is the best Codex writer simply because of how much he pisses off hardcore nerds.

This is probably true heh.

I've not read the codex yet so I can't make a judgement, but who says the relics are genuine? It wouldn't be the first time a collector had fakes in his collection.

What I have read in this months WD, I really like the fluff *ducks for cover*. The narrative style of the battle report and the short stories that go with it are great.
What I like so far is that the Crons have added flavour now, their fluff was once vanilla ice cream and now its Häagen-Dazs Bailys ice cream.
