mi sono appena lamentato e leggo questo!! pare affidabile

da warseer:

So there's been some buzz elsewhere about GK, and it's been a while for me here so here's some bits and pieces.

Heavy rumors of Jan release. I cannot deny this possibility, but I might be personally inclined to say March, only because some items I expect to be released arent far enough to see how they could be done for Jan release.

Release items:

Codex: there is much less focus on Inquisition aspects, and no SoB. No Allies. A GK army.



Boxes:
Storm Raven. obvious choice. Options for BA, GK and ???

TA knights: 5 pack, Paladin upgrades, squad upgrades. Psycannon, NFW, SSTH, banner?

PA knights: 10 pack, justicar upgrades, squad upgrades, extra bits. NFW, psycannon, incinerator, banner?

walker: There have been some rumors of a GK driven walker. I have not personally seen this in any incarnation. However, there is a boxed walker of some type. I suspect this is a dreadnaught box set that will also have bits for BA.

Tank: I have not seen mention of a GK troop transport. Rhino based with psycannon options has been in some PT. I list this as possible, but unlikely, 4 box sets of this size are about par for a release, 5 would be a surprise.



Blisters:
New Stern

New Chaplain?

Justicar upgrade character

Paladin upgrade character

Inquisition character

2 other blisters unknown contents



Other:
Later release of GK themed terrain set? Concepts are out and some "preview" shots are floating around if you hunt. Nothing more I can say on this.



Rule bits, these are very subject to revision, but not for much longer, to hit a Jan/Mar window codex needs to be tied up and sent to printers soon:

NFW lose the changing abilities based on rank of user. standardized to PA NFW is PW with special abilities vs Daemons, TA NFW is FW with same.

Some interesting Psychic abilities. just about all squads have psychic options. Heavy on they disabling side. Enemy psychers beware.

Not a lot of Mech. But quick to deploy.

Psycannon profile PT changes to 24" H3 AP3 S6, special against daemons and psychics. or if unmoving 5" blast 36" range

Army wide. Daemonic Infestation makes summoned demons less instable?

No allies from/to other Codii. new fodder units in codex. not same as guard units.

New options for Dreadnaughts including libby. psycannon arm. Purge weapon...large pie plate, special abilities include forcing instability test for daemons, including DoC armies, pinning in other armies.

All for now.

enjoy

Not right after .... a little while after."

Se io andassi ad uno stage in cui scopro di essere stato preso per il culicchio riguardo alle novità, la volta successiva darei almeno la briglia sciolta alla mia lingua con qualche complimento generalizzato!

Comunque, dopo aver visto quel film modificherò tutti i miei segugi Kroot (e forse anche i divoratori di Khorne) per trasformarli nelle pecore mannare!
Mamma mia...

Necron Rumours

I have no ”secret sources” and I don’t hear stuff from ”nice gentlemen”. All of the following is simply stuff gathered from several internet forums and compiled together. I purposefully refrain from commenting how much (and what) I believe myself. If it is listed in the first part then it has either been said by GW representative in public situation, has been posted by at least two different sources or is self-evident (like the “complete overhaul of rules”) and thus is fairly reliable as rumors go. The stuff with only one source is listed in the end. How much (if any) you believe should depend on source. All the material in this compilation is from March 2010 onwards. I’ve purposefully left out all 2009 rumors because most of them were discredited as pure wishlisting.

Release Date

They are “in the pipeline” with release date during 2011. Possibly January 2011.


Rules

- Complete overhaul of rules
- Much more "Immortal" theme, less "Terminator" (stickmonkey@40konline says: I took this to mean more organic based and asked, and was told "no, not organic, they will still be undying machines")
- WBB is out, FNP is in.
- Phase out has been changed.
- There will be several types of Lords. With different wargear options and special rules
- Gauss weapons rules will be changed.
- The forces are going to change in the FOC a bit
- Flayed ones will have new rules changes but no new model


Miniatures

Multi part plastic kits:

- Immortals. Immortals are on a large (35mm) base; they are redesigned as larger, bulkier and more dynamic.
- Spyders. Spyders have 3 different builds on 60mm base.


Unconfirmed stuff (only one source so take with extra salt)

Kurgash@Warseer:
- Matt Ward will be writing the book and that the reason it's taken this long is because he is having trouble making the army play like Necrons after writing both Space Marines and Blood Angels.

Necron2011@Warseer:
- The Necromancer multi-part plastic kit. The Necromancer is the central sell of the line expansion and has been the focus of much of the early design process. It has been through several incarnations (and names), but is essentially of the same principle as the Bone Giant for the Warhammer Fantasy range. It has a mechanised skeletal torso housing a suspended crystal, and will likely have a choice between two horrific weapons.

SpectralDragon@Warseer:
- Like the previous releases, there will be 3-4 new plastic kits, but possibly only 3-4 new metal kits. They are keeping *most* of the old line
- Necrons will move even further from marine statlines
- Warriors will be one of the more all around usefull troops in the game again
- Possible weapons platform vehicle

CaptainJones@LO:
- Flayed Ones will be a Troop choice
- New HQs will be: Gold, Silver and Bronze level Lords
- Rules for ALL FOUR C’tans
- Most units in the necron army will be subject to the 'necron' special rule, in 5th ed. this grants them acute senses, deep strike, feel no pain an stubborn
- Phase out has been changed, apparently it will work on a unit level rather than on a whole army level, and a necron unit will phase out at any point where it fails a leadership test

Io invece spero che lo SR rimanga elitario per alcuni, altrimenti fa la fine delle squadre di combattimento dei DA che hanno rovinato il codex dandole a tutti. Vabbeh!

aspetta a piangere.

Hanno fatto silenzio totale anche sui DE fino a poche settimane dall'uscita. C'è caso che a gennaio arrivi la sorpresa. Del resto a gennaio usciva sempre qualcosa WH40k

Su tilea ho letto anche NEWS insistenti sui Necron, ma non ho voluto riportarle per scaramanzia.

Attendiamo... e senza fretta. Prima o poi nell'anno arriva qualcosa del 40k....

Luke, be patient!
