Necron Release Rumors


This is an expansion of the rumors we had a couple days ago about a Necron release with pre-orders coming as soon as the 19th. The new sections include model releases with a new Necron Lord, new Destroyers, Flayed Ones, and Cryptek. This is a lot to get all of it released before Christmas, but who knows.


Rob also mentions to add in some extra salt with this one. So please remember that these are rumors.

Codex Necrons:
Schedule
Crammed into the GW schedule right before the new year.
Pre-orders Dec. 19th
Street date: Dec 26th
(Previous chatter from last month says first week of January)

Models
Little to no new models (a la Grey Knights)
(scattered chatter says perhaps 1 character clampack and 1 Destroyer/DestroyerLord plastic kit)
Rules

Look for Nerfs to the following:
Doom Scythes
Night Scythes
Tesla will get an overhaul to their rules.
Deathray will receive a big overhaul to how it targets models.
Characters remain fundamentally unchanged.
The Stormlord will recieve a Necron themed orbital bombardment of some type once per game.
Warlord Traits are good with some granting individual units USRs, while another listed granted an improved version of Reanimation Protocols

Secondary Necron Rumors:
Necron Lords multipart plastic kit. Allows multiple build options.
Necron Destroyer plastic box (3 models), Lord bits included.
Flayed Ones plastic box. (5 models)
Cryptek plastic Clampack
