Necron Codex is early 2015, definitely not Xmas, likely after ET:4
No new Destroyers/Flayed Ones.
No supplement, but the Dex has more pages than recent books (other than Marines)

Codex: Necrons to be released on the 31st of January
two clampack characters alongside the codex - nothing else
I expect some cards as well, but concerning new models it will only be those two clampacks. As can be seen in the SoB: Exterminatus book, some boxes of existing models will get a repackage with the new 32mm bases. If I remember correctly the basic Warriors were shown on 32mm bases too.

Short-term Stuff
Necrons - January 2015
Minis:
-Clampack Necron Lord
-Clampack Cryptek
Codex is described at "thick, almost Space Marine sized".  Look for it to include lots of fluff, as well as many Lords of War & Formations (possibly some of the Apoc ones.)
Medium-term Stuff
Later in 2015, Necrons will star in a Campaign Book, alongside 3 additional kits (both reworks, and new kits)
