Check out all the 9th Edition 40k Necron new release models, rumored and confirmed, that are waiting to be released as we head into fall.
From multiple official previews to a few sources making rounds across the web, we’ve seen a ton of models that are on their way to the Necron lineup. While we’ve gotten a good look at a bunch of models, there are still a few lurking in the shadows that we don’t know anything about.
Here are all the units we know are coming so far:
With the Necron codex announced, there may even be more models hidden inside as well…
Necron 9th Edition 40k New Release Roadmap
Starting with the Necron half of the Indomitus box, it’s only rational to expect some individual multipart kits to drop in the near future. Of the units inside the 9th Edition box set there are:
Overlord
Royal Warden
Plasmancer
Cryptothralls
Skorpekh Lord
Skorpekh Destroyers
Plasmacyte
Canoptek Reanimator
Scarab Swarms
Necron Warriors
We’ve seen the datasheets on all of these units in the past, but this is just the start of all the Necron hotness that’s in store. The big question is will we see multipart kits in the future for any of these? Chances are the Walker will see its own kit, but the Necron Warriors are technically complete with both weapon options and head swaps already.
Besides the Walker and Plasmancer/Crytpothralls the rest of these models will be available in some configuration in the 3 starter sets that are on the way for 9th Edition 40k!
Future Necron 9th Edition New Model Releases
Lokhust Heavy Destroyer
Canoptek Doomstalker
The Silent King
The Void Dragon
Monolith
Mystery model behind Monolith in previews
All of these models were mixed in with some of the existing Necron units as well as the ones from the Indomitus set. All of these models look incredible and since we’ve seen these revealed since before 9th Edition officially launched, we’re thinking we won’t have to wait too long to get our hands on these.
Lastly, the Convergence of Dominion Terrain Piece
Each Convergence of Dominion consists of three Starstele (they’re the big obelisk-type things), which are seriously durable and armed with impressively deadly transdimensional abductors! Even better, they bolster units from your dynasty that are nearby and, with the help of a friendly Cryptek, can perform Translocation Protocols to redeploy across the battlefield.
When you deploy these three models, they all have to be within 12″ of each other. After that, they’re all treated as a separate unit.
Morale Buffs & Mobile Zaps
If you’ve got a Convergence of Dominion nearby, your Necrons needn’t worry much about Combat Attrition, as they’ll be adding 2 to their Leadership characteristic within 6″ of any Starsteles
Each one of these is also coming with a pretty nasty short-range gun that is oddly…only S4 but doing -3AP 3 Damage.
What’s more, if you’re looking to expand the borders of your power base, you can even take a Starstele with you! Simply task a Cryptek with the job of moving one of the nodes and, through the mysteries of hypertechnology, you can move a Starstele right where you need it for maximum impact.
Whew! That was a lot to cover. Maybe even more than you expected the Necrons to ever get! But as we know that the Necron codex has been announced along with the Space Marine codex, it would be shocking not to find all of the rules for these models inside the book.
What do you think about the new Necron release lineup that’s on the way? What kit are you most excited for?
