A brand new Imotekh the Stormlord was revealed alongside 10th Edition Necrons codex rules at the Warhammer Day 2023 GW Preview!

One of the most exciting reveals from Warhammer Day 2023 was the new Imotekh the Stormlord, presented alongside the 10th Edition Necrons codex rules. This character has been a fan favorite for a long time, and the news of his return has got the hobbyists hyped up. In this article, we will take a closer look at the new Imotekh the Stormlord and the 10th Edition Necrons codex rules unveiled during the Warhammer Day 2023 event.

Warhammer Day 2023 Reveals!

This parade of awesome articles will culminate on Saturday with an extra-special live reveal show on the Warhammer Twitch Channel. Things kick off at 2pm BST, and there’s a real welter of stuff to unveil: new books and miniatures for Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, a new box and a new faction for Kill Team, and big news for Warhammer: The Old World.

The last few previews have been quite late at night, so it’s nice to finally see one coming at a somewhat average time here in the States, unless you live on the West Coast, as you might have to get up early!

Here are the quick links to all the previews from Warhammer Day 2023. Click on any of them for the full articles!

New Imotekh the Stormlord & Necrons Codex Revealed: Warhammer Day 2023 Preview

This is what Warhammer TV and Warhammer Community had to say about the Necrons, along with our commentary on it as well!

Imotekh’s machine mind fizzes with hyperlogical strategic abilities that give his intricate plans the uncanny feeling of prescience, and with a casual gesture he can blacken the skies with teeming invasion forces. Thanks to his Gauntlet of Fire and Staff of the Destroyer, he’s pretty handy in a fight too – and just look at that cloak.

Imotekh The Stormlord may have taken a backseat in the 9th edition when the Silent King rose up, but as a political rival, he’s back and ready for some advances.

Nercons 10th Edition Warhammer 40k Rules

This auspicious Phaeron is just one of the new miniatures in Codex: Necrons – awakening protocols for the rest aren’t quite complete yet. The fourth Codex of the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 contains everything you could possibly want to know about the severe and uncompromising Necron Dynasties.

Necrons will also get their new 10th Edition codex release alongside Imotekh’s return to the forefront. In the stream, they also mentioned that Imotekh was the first model reveal but not the only one for Necrons! So, look forward to lots more miniatures. Perhaps we will even see all the ones that have been rumored here.

The Awakened Dynasty returns from the Index, and is still the perfect way to run a silver tide of Necron Warriors that your enemy just cannot put down. More esoteric forms of warfare are enabled by the Hypercrypt Legion, which lets Necron units hyperphase into Strategic Reserves at the end of the enemy turn. Bring along a Monolith or two to make use of their Eternity Gates to return units, and trigger powerful Stratagems like Hyperphasic Recall.

For a quick rules preview, they showed off the stratagem Hyperphasic Recall, which at 2 CP is pretty interesting, giving generals an option for some mind games and punishing opponents who go in on a unit but can’t finish it off fast enough.

For those that prefer something simpler, the Annihilation Legion unlocks the true murderous potential of the Destroyer Cults. Even death cannot put an end to the Eternal Madness of these deranged killers, who will continue to butcher their foes on a 4+ when taken down in the Fight phase – just what the Skorpekh Lord ordered.

Lastly, Eternal Madness makes a unit really difficult to kill without a fight!
