Nouveautés et rumeurs GW

Voilà des "rumeurs" concernants les Necrons

ELITES


• Deathmarks: 24" range rapid-fire AP 5 sniper unit that can choose to Deep Strike in immediately after any enemy unit arrives from Reserves (which just allows the enemy to fire at them first?)...teleporting in from a pocket dimension to target their prey. They can also mark a single unit as their 'target' which allows them to roll to wound on a 2+. Beautiful models from the pics leaked, but at the point cost listed I can't see them ever being used except to see those great models on the table. Can be transported on a Night Scythe.

• Lychguard: Traditionally these have been the bodyguards for the Overlords. Come standard with Warscythes (+2 Strength Power weapon) and can replace them with Hyperphase swords (power weapon) and Dispersion Shields (the thing that gives them a 4+ invuln and reflects enemy shooting). I made a mistake before. The Shields don't only reflect enemy shooting within 6", they reflect all enemy shooting, but only against enemy units who are within 6" of them (they reflect saved wounds, they don't affect blast/templates, for example). Can be transported on a Night Scythe.

• Triarch Ptaetorians: These used to be effectively the 'police' (my term) of the main Necron ruler (the last of which was the Silent King) to help enforce his will onto the Lords of the Empire. They are known to respect great warriors and honor valor and have sometimes ordered Necron Overlords to stop attacking a foe they deemed worthy of respect (much to the Lord's chagrin). They are Jump Infantry with a 6" AP2 S5 weapon. They can swap that out for Void Blades (a weapon with Rending and the same Entriopic ability that Scarabs have) and Particle Casters (a pistol weapon). No transport option.

• C'Tan Shard: Must take 2 of the 11 listed ability choices that basically shape what kind of C'Tan shard you're fielding. No ability can be taken more than once in the army (even if you take 3 C'Tan shards in the army). The statline is slightly less impressive than previous incarnations of the C'Tan, but still pretty decent. Also has Eternal Warrior and ignores all terrain penalties. Still explodes D6" when they die. Fluff-wise, these are shards effectively controlled by the Necron (even though they have most shards locked away in pocket dimensions). Each shard represents only a portion of the power and consciousness of the C'Tan and therefore in battle the C'Tan may not even think to utilize some of its power because the portion of it that knows it has 'X' power simply isn't there. This is essentially what explains why they only have access to 2 special abilities in battle.

• Flayed Ones: 3 Attacks base (and no additional CC weapons). Can infiltrate or Deep Strike. No transport options.

• Triarch Stalker: Concept Sketch shows a Triarch Praetorian sitting in an open-topped cockpit that is riding on a Necron-style giant almost scorpion walker set of legs. Very cool looking IMHO. Has a variable heat ray (which can be upgraded to a couple of other weapons) that can either be fired as a template or as an Assault 2 S8 24" Heavy2 Melta weapon. Has a Targeting relay which means that any enemy unit hit by the Stalker gets a counter placed by it that allows all other Necron units shooting at the same unit that phase to count as being twin-linked. AV11 & open-topped, but does have Quantum shielding & Living Metal.



TROOPS

• Warriors: You know them, you love them. Described as being basically automatons, with very little (if any) sentience. These were the non-warrior Necontyr before the bio-conversion. See my previous rumors (in the OP) for details on their points cost, etc. Can be transported on a Ghost Ark or Night Scythe.

• Immortals: Immortals are said to have the ability to at least speak, but still aren't too much brighter than Warriors. These were Elite warriors of the Necrontyr before the conversion (not sure who the rank and file troops were if the Warriors were the non-combatants and the Immortals were the Elite soldiers?). Can exchange their Gauss Blasters for Tesla Carbines (24" S5 Assault1, extra hit inflicted on a 'to hit' roll of '6') Can be transported on a Night Scythe.



FAST ATTACK

• Canoptek Wraiths: Protectors of the Tombs while the hosts slumber. They have legs now? Jump Infantry who ignore terrain. 3A base with Rending. All models can take one of a few different upgrades including a Whip Coil (nearly identical to a Tyranid Lash Whip), particle caster (pistol) or a Exile Beamer (12" range that kills a random model in the target unit unless it passes a Strength test).

• Canoptek Scarabs: See the rumors copied in the OP for more details on what Scarbs do now.

• Tomb Blades: Jet Bikes. From the artwork, these look like Necron warriors fused into a flying crescent throne carrying a weapon harness in their arms that is base twin-linked Tesla Carbines. The fluff says that they are pre-programmed with a bunch of different flight patterns and vectors that the onboard Warrior chooses from on the fly. this mitigates the fact that a Warrior has poor coordination, but since the programs are so advanced, in reality they act basically like any other similar unit in an enemy army despite the fact that their 'pilots' are much slower to react. They can upgrade their weapons to a couple different choices (twin-linked Gauss Blaster or Particle Beamer). The entire unit can take any of the 3 options: Nebuloscope (increases BS to 5), Shield Vanes (increased armor save to 3+) & Shadowloom (Stealth).

• Destroyers: New fluff that says Destroyers are infected with some kind of degenerative virus that causes their sole purpose in life to be to kill their enemies. As such they hate everyone and have the Preferred Enemy special rule against everyone (as do Destroyer Lords). They are Jump Infantry now. Any model in the unit can upgrade to a Heavy Destroyer.

La suite qd le site refonctionnera ^^

HEAVY SUPPORT

• Doomsday Ark: Variant of the Ghost Ark transport: Open-topped, AV11, Quantum Shielding, Living Metal. Something I forogot to say about the Ghost Ark...each Guass Flayer array (5 Flayers) on each side is allowed to fire at a different enemy target (and different from the Doomsday Cannon). Not entirely clear whether a weapon destroyed takes out a whole array or not, but I'm leaning towards yes. The Doomsday cannon has two profiles, one for if the vehicle did or didn't move that turn (with the non-moving one being 72" range S9 AP1 Large Blast). The moving profile only has a 24" range and a S7 blast. Basically described as gunboat whose strategy is to hit first and destroy the enemy before they can fire back.

• Annihilation Barge: Described as anti-infantry support platforms. Variant of the Catacomb Command Barge: Open-topped, AV11, Quantum Shielding, Living Metal. Has a twin-linked Tesla Destructor & a Tesla Cannon, but can upgrade the cannon to a Gauss Cannon. Not exactly sure why you'd want to do that except for the extra range (36" for the Gauss Cannon as opposed to all Tesla weapons which are 24" range).

• Monolith: 35 Point reduction along with corresponding nerf in invulnerability (were you not expecting that?). Still AV 14 and still has Living Metal (although again that only helps remove Crew Stunned/Shaken now). Can still Deep Strike but no longer has invulnerability from Mishaps. Has 4 Gauss Flux Arcs (which are now just Heavy 3 instead of randomly rolled). Particle whip is now just a straight up S8 AP3 24" large blast. The portal can be used to either transport any non-vehicle friendly Necron unit through it or to suck enemy models within 6" to instant death who fail a Strength Test. No bonus to reanimation protocols (the replacement for WBB) is present. Although, at the end of the day, this is still an AV14 vehicle all around, which is pretty imposing in the current game. Unfortunately all of its weapons are really close range, which means it will also now tend to be in Melta range...

• Doom Scythe: Pure fighter variant of the Night Scythe. AV11 with Living Metal (but no Quantum Shielding or open-topped). Is supersonic (36" flat-out) and can fire all its weapons when moving at cruising speed. Has a twin-linked tesla Destructor & a Death Ray, which allows a 3D6" line to be drawn (with one end of the line being within 12" of the vehicle) and causes a number of hits on every unit crossed by the line equal to the number of MODELS in the unit hit. Oh and did I mention that these hits are S10 AP1? Nasty indeed! But at nearly 200 pts for an AV11 vehicle, to get within 12" to unleash this beast will probably be a bit rough.

• Tomb Spyders: The artwork makes them look much more flying and nimble, like giant Scarabs. Can now repair vehicles like a Techmarine, Big Mek, etc. Can take an anti-psychic defense against any power targeting a friendly unit within 3" (nullified on a 4+). Can still create Scarab Swarms, but only into existing swarms on the table (they no longer form a unit with the Spyder) and it can still take damage if it rolls a '1' while doing so. Can take Whip Coils (by giving up a close combat weapon and a +1 to repair vehicles) which is like a Tyranid Lash Whip. Can take 1 or 2 Particle Beamers (by removing its CC/fixer arms) to do so. 1-3 in a unit.

De BOLS, ce qui semble être la couverture du prochain codex Nécrons :

Perso j'aime beaucoup l'aspect des persos. Après, il semble que le fond orange "choque" pas mal de personne sur les différents fofo; de mon côté ça ne me dérange pas plus que ça.

Le plus important restant bien entendu le contenu ;-)

le fond orange rend bien justement parce qu’il est inhabituel.

Il fait alien, mais aussi désert aride ou encore métal en fusion.

Les personnages et l'ambiance sont inquiétants .

Une jolie couverture !

j'ai hâte de voir l'historique et les figurines ou dessins de volants ( véhicules antigrav ) pas encore aperçus.

Surtout qu'il semble que les trucs fun manquent encore à l'appel (rumeur d'une pseudo motojet ^^ et d'un marcheur) bref à confirmer

Concernant le fluff, il y a des infos pas mal sur le site d'Unagi3 ...

http://usagi3.free.fr/spip.php?article1010

Je vous laisse aller y jeter un coup d'œil, le moins que l'on puisse dire c'est que ça change radicalement ...

Lol,effectivement, de sacrés changements.
Et pour ma part, ce grand coup de pied au c... au fluff des Nécrons est une bonne chose. On sort enfin de l'archetype de l'armée de robot "stupides". Après, comme le souligne Usagi, il y a quand même des trucs incohérents, comme l'alliance Necron/BA, là, de mon point de vue, il faut pas non plus pousser mémé ....

Sérieux... 'taing, vivement les Tau alors, qu'est-ce que ça sera...

et bien justement! Je ne vais pas faire un copier-coller du Topic d'Albrecht sur le warfo mais les Tau sont seraient annoncés pour le premier semestre 2012.

On prévoit également plus de Xenos et un codex adapté à la V6. Pour l'instant ça reste des rumeurs qui ne se mouillent pas trop mais c'est toujours mieux que rien! ^^

Petit teaser pour les Nécrons :

bouhouuuuu la vilaine vidéo, là on peut dire que c'est un vrai teaser, on te chauffe et on te montre que dalle !!!!!!!!!!!!

Et on continu avec une petite photo de groupe

Et on continu avec une petite photo de groupe

ça vient peut être de la peinture, mais je trouve qu'il y a une certaine ressemblance avec les eldars noirs, alors même que ces deux races sont très très différentes... Il n'y a qu'à voir les barges de bataille des deux armées...

C'est pas plus mal, ça va enfin donner un rendu similaire à toutes les armées. J'ai hâte de voir les Taux avec ce côté "trop trop dark"

Sympa cette photo de famille...

Perso, j'aime bien ce schéma de couleurs !

Le Dwarf devrait normalement arriver samedi. Si c'est bien le cas, je l'amènerai au club l'après-midi : y aura certainement tout un tas d'autres photos dedans et aussi les changements apportés aux règles V3...

Maintenant j'attends de feuilleter le WD histoire de voir si on en apprends un peu plus

Ils en sont à la deuxième génération Finecast. Un peu moins de bulle et de défaut mais c'est pas encore la panacée...

Quelques pages du codex:

MODO - Photos effacées : même si c'est sympa de faire profiter les copains avec ce genre de trucs, on va éviter les risques de procès pour violation de copyright...
W.

Bon, il va falloir que je me replonge dans le gros bouquin car j'avoue ne plus avoir les connaissances pour apprécier ces "fuites"... ^^

Et encore un teaser tout pourri de GW :

De pire en pire leurs teaser .........

Pour ceux qui voudraient voir les photos (logiquement effacées, oui mon enthousiasme avait masqué ma raison et la joyeuseté des copyright), vous pouvez me demandez l'adresse par MP ou bien si je peux me contenter d'indiquer sur quel forum elles sont dispo ? ^^
