New necrons out soon, while there's not much blood bowl potential someone may want a robot team or something.

Struggling to pluck the links because this news is bringing a massive amount of traffic to the BOW site so here's what I grabbed=
Edit:- added some facebook links

Big necron=

Looks cool I guess.

Jump infantry?=

Why would someone build hunched robots? Seems like a design flaw to me

Necro equivilent of terminator?=

Never liked sheilds in 40k.

Necrons with staffs=

Anybody got a clue what these could do?

Necrons with even bigger guns!=

Watch out tanks, these boys mean buisness.

Necron lord=

These things are looking more and more tomb king-ish.

Looks ok, I'm a tad worried about those necrostaffs in finecast, might be a tad wobbly.

Cyclopian snipers=

As if necrons needed more powerful guns.

Combat barge=

I have been informed that the combat barge is star warfs inspired, just looks silly to me, you would think a necron ship would be a necron. Like the cylon ships.

Ghost ark=

Looks like a necron rollercoaster to me rather than a ship bent on destruction.

The biggest thing I noticed was the lack of the traditional necron clear green acrylic. Other than that its an intresting batch, even if the new flayed ones are wearing silly jackets (couldn't find the pic).

i like them i have a soft spot for these for some reason since i dabbled with them about a year ago i will probably end up with these at some point

I see some potential in the torsos of the Lychguard and Praetorians, they resemble American style football armour.

Would be easy to do arm swaps and potentially head swaps, only tricky issue is the legs. I think they would make great tomb guardians.

You could also keep them as nercons to do a "modern" Khemri team

All seem to have been removed.

yup, all the images removed although this video shows off the Megalith http://www.beastsofwar.com/warhammer-40 ... -revealed/

That's a old april fools video they re-posted.

That's odd, warseer still has them up and they are using the pics straight from BOW.

Got a link to the Warseer thread [you can't search unless you're signed-in].

yeah here you go, this is the latest thread that also contains rumours.

Seems they have ret-conned the Necron fluff so they literally are Tomb kings in spaaaaaaace.

That new fluff looks shite, like the new Grey Knights fluff.
I can agree with them given the Lords individual characters, but to go from working for their gods to having killed them - seems a huge change.

Pity, thought it looked kinda cool. Didn't actually watch the video though just the pic of it.
