Necron Second Wave Already?

By Rob Baer | January 5th, 2012 | Categories: Necrons, Tabletop Gaming Products, Warhammer 40k

Tin can mans players rejoice, looks like the Necron wave two will be sooner rather than later!

Rumors are starting to break about the next wave, and what will be included. Check out the latest below.


Looks like I’ll need to step up my Necrons Converting schedule a bit, as I still need to finish the Tomb Scythe and Stalker!

If you missed any of my Necron conversions so far, be sure to check them out here.


From Faeit 212:
Rumors are appearing for the second wave of Necrons in February or March. While these are still rumors, it is apparent that a second wave of Necrons alongside a small wave of Imperial Guard are very close.

Please remember that these are rumors, and to take with the standard amount of salt.

Thanks goes to Kroothawk for digging these out
the second wave, expected for February or March

Couldn’t see this on the thread (although I didn’t go through every page!) early next year youll be getting a second wave of necrons – entries in the codex not covered by this release, 4 vehicles, a walker and 2 aircraft, also new tomb spiders IIRC.

Can’t recall of the top of my head about the vehicles, the walker Artwork shows a large spider with a necRon driver and scorpion tail over the head blaster type thing.

Another confirmation by him (on Wraiths and Tomb Spyders):

I’ve already posted on the necron rumour thread that these items will be part of the second wave on necron models released early next year. The jetbike type necrons are also amongst the new kits.

Recieved information/rumors today. As stated by Dr.Pie himself the wave 2 is planned. Was told it will arrive late feb./early march and will be the following kits:

– Doom/Night scythe (plastic kit) 1 model
– Canoptic Wraiths/Spyders (Plastic kit) 3 models
– Iluminor Szeras (Finecast) 1 model
– Anrakyr the Traveler (Finecast) 1 model

Also release of a Battleforce consisting of the following:
– 16 warriors
– 4 scarab bases
– 5 Immortals/Deathmarks
– 1 Ghost/Doom ark

Tomb blades and Triarch Stalker are missing from that list, but Hastings said a whle ago that they will come with the same wave.

Which model do you want to see released more? -MBG
