Necrons Rumor Roundup

[Erik Setzer]

And Orks used to be able to take up to three specialized weapons in a squad, could take power weapons (burnas) in regular Boyz mobs, could reduce saves of better than 4+ down to 4+... Oh, and they also had power weapons for Nobz, but I think that was only in the lists that were released with 3rd edition and the playtest list that got leaked, but you can still see them on the Nobz models.

Or heck, let's just go back to 2nd editions. Orks had WS3, BS3, A1, much more access to ranged weapons, an entire unit that infiltrated and had power weapons...

So yeah. Times change.

Let's stay focused, shall we? Everyone can see it is something completely different to make minor flavor changes to individual units than to say, "Yeah, you're entire army is going to suck at hand-to-hand. Even your dedicated melee specialist units are going to completely suck at it. In an edition that does not favor melee combat already, your guys are going to be the hands-down undisputed miserable failures at it."

Are you talking about DE Wyches?

Just heard that the WD teaser includes "An Ancient Evil Rises..." which some are taking to mean Necron pre-orders will start popping up next week.

Just seen a pic of next WD that shows Necron Dex under pre-orders

Looks like Necrons are getting "Psychic" powers.

[Mr Mystery]

There goes my wages!

[Fuppylodders]

Looks like Necrons are getting a bloody expensive single plastic model <.>

[Houghten]

That's nearly Space Marine price, that is.

What's doubly daft is it's only £5.50 cheaper than a Lord on a Barge.

Also that warscythe head wants swapping for a proper one.

Might not be psychic powers. It says "C'tan cards." Remember the Dark Eldar had combat drug cards. They have to throw something in there, can't just be Tactical Objective cards. Doesn't mean it's psychic powers.

I can't agree with you more. Why pay £17 for a character when you could buy the barge and just slap the lord you get inside it on a larger base. Unless the barge is "out of stock" for a while I don't seeing it being high on anybody's purchase list.
