So far it sounds like the viable swarm tactic will be 3 large units of scarabs running under night fight. Necron Initiative 2 boardwide - That will never get old...
Grab the White Dwarf - Take a look at the army list put together by the Author of the codex - in a 2,000 point army he took over 500 points of HQ. This is the guy who wrote the codex? Looks like he firmly believes the only way to win with Necrons is fill-up on HQ specials and a few of the new Mech units. Not a good sign...

And again, so your saying the Dark Eldar are Jewish just because one of the IC's is named Lileith?

So people are judging the power of the new codex by the army build used in a WD which normally involves putting as many of the new toys into a list and showing what they do, rather than building the best list possible?

Eh, the White Dwarf battle reports usually like to show off the new units and, in particular, the new models, or something with impressive sounding rules so they can go "Look! It's awesome!". I mean when has the White Dwarf list ever reflected what an ideal tourney list should look like? Besides, we'll be able to compare the units directly soon enough. Then we'll know for certain.

How about Tomb Kings in space? Which is pretty much what Necrons have always been... Originally Posted by Farseer Uthiliesh

Actually, Tomb Kings are "Necrons NOT in space", since the Necrons were Egyptian-themed undead before the Tomb Kings existed. Originally Posted by Galadren

1) Is it also not the general consensus that Ward is a being of questionable intelligence? Originally Posted by Maelstorm

Looks pretty straight forward, just like any new releases it will take some time to get use to on both sides. Hopefully it can be something to inflict same pain on those actually good Grey Knight players.

But there isn't a joke working the other way. When's the last time you heard that they were just "Old Tymey Orks!" or "Spess MERHEENS in the past"? Originally Posted by The Emperor's Champion
