Necrons Love or Hate: Updated BackstoryHere is the latest in the Necron Backstory. There is definitely a lot of change for the Necrons, and many people, most particularly the players that have had this army for years do not like it. By the same token, I am curious as to the percentages of people that either like or do not like the chang…
Presence of Faeit: Necrons Vehicles, 6th Edition, 2012 Codex ReleasesThis week was another extremely busy week with the flow of rumors. It was like the river had been dammed up for almost a year, and the floodgates finally failed. The highlight of course was the release of the Necrons. It is nothing short of an amazing release. I expect to see a ridiculous number of…
Night Scythes. The Hidden Necron FlyerTake a look at the image above. Now that we have all these images of the first round of necrons, it was time to look into the details. While the background of most of the images just shows a Monolith or two, there is a group of flyers behind the Necron Lord. They appear behind Trazyn the Infinite a…
Necrons Return Video: Models now up on Games Workshop SiteHere they are, they have finally arrived, and even a few hours early. The video shows off these amazing models, and there is some quick fluff on the GW site that dates Necrons to be 64 million years old, before mankind even existed. Nice video GW, the models look fantastic close up. There is quite …
Quantum Shielding vs The Dark LanceSo we all know Dark Eldar have been having a hard time vs armour. However the new Necron codex places a new crimp into the system. Now I do not know how Quantum shielding is written, but the ultimate question for Dark Eldar players is, Does Quantum Shielding trump Lance weaponry. I would hope not. …
The Black Library Strikes Again: Valkia the BloodyThe Black Library does two things for our community, it brings to life in its books the Warhammer Universe, as well as put out amazing cover art to keep us inspired. This is another great work from Cheoljoo Lee of Valkia the Bloody. …
Chaos Legions Codex Set To ArriveThe next Warhammer 40k codex to come out seems like a toss up between a couple armies now. The current thinking amongst many sites online is that Tau are next. Earlier rumors were conflicting with this, putting the Chaos Legions codex in March, or even sliding the Black Templar into the mix. …
Necron Rules Perspective with 6th EditionSome of the rules that we are to see in the Necron codex are going to appear to be a little odd, or misplaced apparently. For example, destroyers having perferred enemy, or snipers with rapid fire weapons. This is going to be due to 6th edition changes, and the Necron codex is set up for it. …
4 New Army Boxes To Be Released: Dark Eldar, Space Marine, Skaven and High ElfThe Holidays are around the corner and there are four Mega Army Boxes to be released before the years end. One Space Marine and One Dark Eldar for Warhammer 40k. I had received these images and the information early this morning, but there is just too many things to get verified and posted. The inf…
Necron Information from White Dwarf: Pics IncludedPics (some codex?), rules, point costs. There is so much Necron information is flowing that is hard to keep track of it. I have had to cut paste, discard, move and literally go crazy with all this information. To be honest, it will be easier to just wait and get the codex in hand to know all of thi…
Priests of MarsThis artwork is nothing short of amazing. The Black Library really knows how to do Warhammer 40k artwork. They really need to do a large hardback artwork release that is solely based upon book covers. This piece is done by Slawomir Maniak and it is his first in the Warhammer 40k setting. Look close…
Codex: Chaos Legions and Chaos RenegadesHere is a small rumor set for Chaos Legions. It is saying that Chaos Legions will be a super-elite army. 10,000 year old marines kicking butt. It also declares a second codex Chaos Renegades that will get at first a White Dwarf treatment, followed by a real codex a couple years down the road. …
November's White Dwarf Cover with NecronsHere is the November White Dwarf cover, although it is in German (it turned out a little fuzzy when reposted).

Pics of the Week: The Legions of ChaosWith some talk about Chaos Legions, I wanted to do more Chaos Marines for this installment of Pics of the Week. I missed last week due to all the Necron images and information, and even though the rumors are over-flowing at the moment, I did not want to miss out on the pics. I dislike holding onto…
Codex Release Schedule and Sixth EditionOut of all the rumors that try and tackle 2012, I would have to say we have a bad mix on our hands. Chaos Legions, Eldar, Tau, Black Templar, Dark Angels, and 6th edition is just too much for one year to handle. So when I see rumors starting to break this down, it just might start becoming a little…
New Releases for November: Necrons 1st Wave and Eldar FinecastHere is what is on the official November Release sheet.

Presence of Faeit: Leaked Necrons, Necron Announcement, Site ChangesThis last week was nothing short of incredible, we had rumors flying right and left for most of the week. Most of it dealt with the Necron leaks and a ton of rules that are coming in the Necron Codex. Also we had a few other misc stuff coming through, including a rehash of 6th edition stuff, and so…
Tau Release Imminent? When Rumors Blow UpThere have been rumors flying around that Tau just might be the next codex release. Most people are simply posting the rumor without its source, which is giving the rumor much more credibility than it deserves at the moment. So I am posting up the entire post from notprop who put this rumor out for…

Necron Lord Trazen the Infinite +Official Texts and PricesTrazen the Infinite is turning out to be one of my favorite characters in this codex. He is rather spectacular.
