Haven't seen this with all the focus on 6th, but the last two Necron characters are on the release sheets GW is sending out.

49-67 Orikan the Diviner 21-Jul-12 $19.25

Aside from options on characters, those guys will complete the book.

No one saw the new crons coming then Thanks for the list roachvan! Excited to see what the servo skull tape measure will look like

P.S: Actually the thread below this talks about new crons Whoops!

I suspect with the release of 6th Edition, to see new and recut Special characters. Lots of special characters already existing of newest codex have not been done in finecast yet. Ex: Mephiston, Tycho, Corbulo.

I don't know if they have a plan to release the model in finecast or redo the design, some of them, will need a recut

[MajorWesJanson]

Cool. Now if they will release some of the missing GK and DE characters too, that would be even better!

[Raibaru]

Saw Drazhar was on the same list. Wonder if it will be a new sculpt or the old model done in finecast.

[Jericho]

My money would be on a Finecast copy of the original. Aside from the Ultrasmurfs and the occasional Orc, there simply haven't been many updated special characters in recent editions.

Still no Vect/Baron/etc.?

[DigitalDogParty]

Cool. Now if they will release some of the missing GK and DE characters too, that would be even better!

I think I saw finecast remakes of the normal Grey Knight HQ's, but I could be wrong.

Well, in the sense that they were on that list for releases.

There's also a big list of (presumably) metal to finecast ports : http://gigabitescafe.com/forum/index.php?topic=5129.0
The whole metal Tau range (except kroot shapers) is affected, and the mixed plastic/metal kits are now standalone upgrade kits (Crisis commander, Broadside).
Less top-heavy broadsides will make a lot of Tau players happy, not mentioning there's also a new standalone shield drone upgrade pack (no need to convert them anymore nor buy XV15/pathfinder team leaders to get the real ones)
One thing that intrigues me : the kroot hounds went from a set of 2 in blister to a set of 4 in a box .... and the price per model actually dropped, which is surprising when all ports from metal to finecast got a price hike.
Now, the cost per model was pretty silly to begin with (not DE Khymera-silly, but still) so it may just be that they realised it and lowered the cost to be more on par with other models, but there's still a little spark in me that hopes this could mean a new plastic sprue for kroot puppies.
A man can dream ....

only necron for july i'm little disapointed

[Ereshkigal]

Wth with the template prices...

Well, what really intrigues me is the jump of Shadowsun from 25$ to 40$.

[Bunnahabhain]

Hmmm. tanglewire on that list.

Looks like they might be trying to pull some terrain other than ruins into the game. Implies a much more developed system than the current difficult terrain mess.

You can already buy a set of shield drones at the minute, and most but certainly not all, of the metal to finecast updates come with a price increase. Kroxigor are a recent example

[Darnok]

With the last two characters: is there anything missing from the codex by now?

Well...the specific Cryptek types, but other than that...nothing that springs to mind.

It's good to see. An entire army done in half a year. Admittedly not every model's been redone in that time but the majority. It's a good precedent to set, that armies will be fully catered for modelwise. Though it does beg a question, what are they going to do when every army is fully catered for?

Squats?

Sorry :P

[Spider-pope]

I'm looking forward to seeing these, the last batch of Necron special characters were pretty nice sculpts so it'll be interesting to see what they come up with for these last few stragglers.

[Inquisitor Engel]

$75... Ooof. Damn my wallet.
