Necron Rumors

[Mali32]

On the cover of the new dex why does the light coming from the background not obscure the warriors in the background and yet completely obscure the leg of the nec behind the main guy?

Techno-sorcery...

That is actually not the most striking thing about the cover, what I find weird is that the Warscythe used by the Overlord and the Hyperphase sword of one of the Lychguards clearly have something that resemble the green rods of the old model, while the actual models do not have this... figures *-*

second wave SOON. Aparently this chapterhouse thing has really gotten GW to wake up and realize if they don't make models and release them soon after a release someone else will fill that void and they will loose business, and some GW can't actually sue over, unlike chapterhouse. I wasn't actually expecting them to step up the releases so quickly though. But if Necrons were really already done a while ago, then that's not such a surprise. I expect the next hard release to not be quite so quick. and releases after that to have decreasing times between their waves. Might not converge to a single release wave but they'll get close.

Speeding up releases might have something to do with that. More likely it's because that's the generic Corporate push from the GW business offices in the last 24 months, not due to a recent lawsuit.

The ligh is coming from the back. His left leg is back, the right leg forward, which is why his thigh is highlit. Works for me.

Well, doesnt help me much. I'm hoping to field necrons in a tournament in February (and just maybe in January too). I've emailed GW to ask them when we can expect Wraiths, as I am intending on fielding some. So far, no response. If I get one I'll post it here. If Chapterhouse release a wraith first, then I'll notify GW that I will be fielding that in the absence of any suitable models from them, I'll be using CH and damn their rules.

the lawsuit only put it in the forefront. it's the other companies that GW realizes it can do nothing about that's the problem. and giving them time to both model replacements, and sell them cuts into GW's bottom line.
