‘Tis the season for Necron Rumors, and finally something is starting to stick it looks like.
Here’s the latest from the nets!
The latest word on the Necrons:
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.)
We know the Tesseract Vaults, and perhaps the transcendent C’tan will be in there from the Mephrit Dynasty spoiler from over the weekend.
Medium-term Stuff
Later in 2015, Necrons will star in a Campaign Book, alongside 3 additional kits (both reworks, and new kits)
These Rumors are rated RELIABLE, coming from known good sources.
The most interesting thing of this bunch to me is the word of a Necron Campaign book coming later in 2015 with 3 new kits attached.
It would appear that the success of Stormclaw, Shield of Baal, and the WFB End Times series is moving Games Workshop in a new direction.
It looks like we can from now on expect to see a “two-track” parallel releases of the traditional army codices with accompanying supplemental codices (and some minis), with a second track of these “X vs Y” campaigns that include book sets with integrated new rules and minis as well.

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits started with Rob trying to stay motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects and share his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.
Scale model hobbyist in the 80s, miniature wargamer, and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy since 5th Edition, but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of both pewter and resin.
