The Necrons have been their silent selves up to this point, but the rumors are starting to get out about an impending release!
Honestly with new rules coming in Shield of Baal Extermination, it’s not too far fetched to believe.
Codex Necrons:
Schedule
Crammed into the GW schedule right before the new year.
Pre-orders Dec. 19th
Street date: Dec 26th
Models
Little to no new models (a la Grey Knights)
Rules
Look for Nerfs to the following:
Doom Scythes
Night Scythes
Tesla will get an overhaul to their rules.
Deathray will receive a big overhaul to how it targets models.
Characters remain fundamentally unchanged.
The Stormlord will recieve a Necron themed orbital bombardment of some type once per game.
Warlord Traits are good with some granting individual units USRs, while another listed granted an improved version of Reanimation Protocols
Standard caveats apply, but this is from a very reliable anonymous source.
What do YOU think? We suspected a Tesla nerf based of the Space Wolves’ lighting rule, but this seems very believable to me. -MBG
