The end is nigh, folks...
Word has been spreading across the interwebs like wild fire these last weeks, and it seemed only fair to jump on the bandwagon. As you can see from the picture above, the Necrons are finally getting a much-needed update to their codex. There are tonnes of cool pics floating around the net, and we've managed to find a few of the best ones... all courtesy of Beasts of War and Bell of Lost Souls.
By the sounds of it, there is going to be a complete change of fluff and background, as well as loads of new artwork for the new 'dex, which is slated for a November 5th release. We won't go into the rumours here; the forums at BoLS and Dakka-Dakka have done a good enough job of that. Instead, enjoy the pics, and a few tidbits of info on the new stuff...
Here we have two special characters: Trazyn the Infinite, a history fanatic that collects artefacts from other races, and Imotekh the Stormlord, who apparently has a storm ability like Njal Stormcaller...
Two of the new Necron Overlord models... bigger, meaner versions of the Lords we've been used to!
Two versions of a new transport for Overlords.
Lychguard, a new bodyguard unit. These guys come with +2 strength power weapons, which they can swap for a standard weapon and a shield that gives a 4+ Invun. save, and can even reflect ranged attacks back at the enemy!
Flayed Ones are back, and meaner looking than ever!
A new Necron gunship, the Doomsday Ark. This kit can also be built into a transport, the Ghost Ark.
Deathmarks are a new sniper unit, with an ability to 'mark' an enemy unit for death... in game, they wound that target on a 2+!
Immortals are now in the Troops section.
Another new unit, Triarch Praetorians once acted as a kind of police force for the overall ruler of the Necrons, the Silent King.
