C'Tan Info

Regarding the CTans, WD seems to really make a difference between Shards of the Deceiver, Nightbringer, Trans CTan and the Vault. This is how their power work:
- During the shooting phase, chose an enemy unit.
- Roll a D6 or pick a card to determine the attack it suffers.
- The randomness represents the CTan basically doing whatever he wants when released on a battlefield.
- Each attack comes in 2 Flavors.
- The first one, supposedly already devastating, is used by the two shards and the Trans CTan.
- The second one, that appears to be the powerful Apocalypse effect, is for the Vault.

Thanks for quoting us!

It's up now!

Bought the Overlord after all, along with the codex and cards.

Dammit, I'm such a necron fanboy.

EDIT : I know I said I wouldn't get the Overlord but the Mindshackle scarab made me.

[Mr Mystery]

Codex and cards for me!

[40kGamer]

Nabbing the codex... I'm angling for a full set of hardbacks!

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

Codex and cards for me!

I hope theres new backround in the codex to write death-robot music out of.

Yep, as someone already mentioned, if they scrap the FOC entirely then the new formations are orchestrated solely to force the poor dumb gamer plebeian to fork over their tribute. You want to play Necrons, you HAVE to buy Tomb Blades. Want Scarabs, you need Syders and Wraiths on a one-for-one per Scarab unit. You want specialty units, you've got to fork over $100 minimum for units you may not want and possibly cannot use.

Typical, actually, and not unexpected given GW's declining market share.

Dear Necron Players,

We're sorry your special edition codex still costs $165 and only has a codex, some spare small copies of the unit rules, six metal tokens, some art, and a poster, as opposed to a codex, an entire second book with even more goodness, six metal tokens, and some art. But it's okay, I'm sure the poster and having small printouts so you don't have to use your book makes up for having a supplement.

Sincerely,
Ork Players

(Sorry, but we have to take our victories where we can get them, and having the best limited edition since the start of 7th edition is our biggest victory.)

Except as has already been pointed out you could just play unbound. It's not really as bad as everyone seems to think.
