Default New new Necron wishlisting.

hi guys,

so when i went to GD italy I talked a thing like 10 mins with Alessio Cavatore and I asked him about codex necron if I could expect it for 2010 for august this is what he said to me ' not immediatly but yes it will come out' then when Alessio was doing the public presentation a guy near me asked ' why do you do Tyranids and BA and you don't look to races that really need a codex as necrons?' after this question there has been a general applause of about 30 seconds. Alessio so responded this 'well we did tyranids because as a miniature range they needed a re-pass necrons as miniatures aren't so bad (not true) but we are putting them as one of the races with the top priority so you could expect them'

So after this day I had a complete confirmation of necrons being released in 2010 (because GW works with a year of anticipation so Alessio was basically saying they are working on them whilst he was talking with me because if not he would have said not possibly or things like that) and partial confirmation of necrons in the summer but the rumor wasn't so solid ot post it in the GD italy topic.

Now I have a solid rumor to be posted in the rumor section, one of these days a guy who is a big piece of Gw italy came to my local GW store because he would have worked there for that day. I talked with him for some mins and he said to me that at a meeting he had in the past days with a GW UK head he could say that necrons will be released in summer between june and july.

So I cannot confirm with the perfect confidence but at a pretty 90% we could expect the necrons this summer and this is no more whishlist but a true and solid final rumor. I'm having my fingers crossed till another 100% confirmation will come out.

Good news, thanks for sharing.

But this could really have been posted as soon as you heard it on GD Italy. There must be something truly wrong if even Alessio Cavatore himself is not considered "solid" enough as a rumour source.

So soon in 2010, I have my doubts.

Summer is fantasy 8th edition mainly BTW.

No that makes sense... the necron range of minis is pretty good aside from that ring pop on top of the monolith. All the BA characters are outdated - they are good sculpts but they are a little smaller than current marines so they look strange. The nids... well I don't see anything wrong with their current range but i guess they could refine a few models like the brood lord and introduce the plastic trygoon that was in the works a long long time ago.

sorry Brimstone you know these things 1000 times more than me but isn't the 8th fantasy edition supposed in 2011 and not in 2010, anyway I posted what I heard...

anyway I don't see any problems in 8th edition being released in June and necrons in august or the opposite...

It's next year IIRC.

Quote anyway I don't see any problems in 8th edition being released in June and necrons in august or the opposite...
It's not all fantasy releases but that's not the codex I understood to be out then.

Still things have a habit of changing so let's see

If Necrons do come out 2010, does that mean we have out 3 and only 3 releases for the 010'? Tyranids (Jan-Feb), Necrons (June-July), and Blood Angles(Oct-Nov)?

Might that Codex incorporate a race with pointy ears and an unhealthy fascination with blades? Hey, I can hope!

The only models in the entire Necron range that needs re doing are the Pariahs, and Flayed Ones. The rest are fine, anyway here's hoping that 2010 is our year to come out of retirement.

Going by this thread so far, the way I put the order together for 2010 would be more like Tyranids, then Blood Angels, then some mystery Codex (possibly some kind of SM, to fit with Harry saying BA are only half their story), then Necrons by the end of the year.

Given the alternations happening these days, it's more likely this:

Tyranid (Xenos) ---> Blood Angels (SM) ---> Necron (Xenos) ---> Other "half of the story" Marines (SM)


With the Wolves, it was October ---> January (nids), which is 3 months interim; Jan nids followed by April angels followed by July necrons (implied by this rumor) followed by october 2nd half new marine dex leads right up to the cycle starting again in 11 with whatever the 2011 Xenos release is ... would not be surprised by Dark Eldar.

It fits a formalized structure and release schedule, and wouldn't surprise anyone probably.

This feels too good to be true.

But, if it is true, its possibly the best 40k related news I have heard in a long time. It realy is good to see GW dealing with its last few super venerable third edition codexes.

Default Re: Necron whispers, Possibly in Summer.

seems reasonable if you ask me, they dont need that much work model-wise, a few new units, plastic immortals and redone pariahs and some rule-changes to bring them to 5th edition. And since their one of the more less popular armies it wont "overshadow" 8th edition of fantasy.

What happened to 2010 being a xenos year?? I guess that was just wishful thinking based on early rumors.

Where'd the "Yet Another Marine Codex" rumors start? Did we really extrapolate that from someone merely saying "that's only half the story"? Is there anything more concrete than that?

Discussing this with many guys at GD and where I live and with the GW head who i talked to, this is very, very, very likely to happen.

A clear example of what most solid rumors suggest for 2010:

January
Tyranids
February Beastmen
March-April-May Blood angels and a Wotr miniatures range expansion + a possible guard or daemon wave.
Summer Necrons and Fantasy 8th Ed.
Autumn Other "half of the story" Marines and a Fantasy Codex

Here's what I have understood from all the rumors from warseer, GD, speaking with GW guys and speaking with other guys.

Nonsense. Compared to 2009, 2010 is Xenos-based

---

As mentioned, most of the Necron work is rules-based as opposed to model-based. They could be a "quick-fix" type of release with a small model release. Given the time frame I've seen, however, I wouldn't put them til after summer 2010 - possibly late 2010, early 2011.

Unless there have been major alterations to the information WarSeer already has, the Necrons don't fit the summer 2010 slot for 40K.

I believe it was from Harry. If I recall correctly, he said something else SM related would come out with or during BA. People quickly speculated it would be an Angles of Death codex, but that was quickly shot down.
