Necron First Wave available

So Necrons have finally been posted on the Games Workshop official site for advance order despite many webstores such as Wayland having them up for weeks and most companies like SpikeyBits with official release information, pictures, etc. Crazy way of doing things Games Workshop...

Anyway, you can check out their pre-order page here which also includes a bunch of Finecast models for other armies - most notably the Aspect Warriors for Eldar and several characters for other armies. Here's a bit of what we have to deal with here in Australia. The prices for all of the Aspects Warriors: $63 AUD which is currently on parity with the US dollar. Monolith? $110 AUD. Sammael - you know, one guy on a jetbike? $83. And they wonder why people are upset when we can still get these models 50% off overseas *sigh*.

Anyway, they released a rather cool video as well to show off the new models. If only they could be was business savy as they are creative...



And here are some pictures for you to enjoy if you haven't seen them already! A lot of the old stuff has been re-released as Finecast as well. I'm really liking the Necron HQ models I must admit...

Also, DEATH RAY!

The damned beast hiding amongst us did pass unnoticed by me.
I really like the Necrons so far. If I had the money and time, I would do a crazy scientist army.
And this guy would crew the Doomsday ark. http://5secondfilms.com/watch/death_ray_from_spac...
I actually really liked it :P

The hi-tech noises, the drumming, the targeter and zooming in. Sweet!

Different strokes, I guess :)
im loving the 360 turntable previews in the store pages
ive deduced an item from the white dwarf battle review: bloodswarm nanoscarabs
a 12" shooting attack, if it hits you choose an enemy model in the target unit
that model acts as a teleport homer for your deep striking troops (they wont scatter if they land within 6")
hilarity!
I'll probably bitz order the plastic overlord from the little command transport sometime, not because I want a Necron army, just because I want the model.
Yeah these minis are very sweet! I won't be starting Necrons, but I am stoked for those who already have them or are getting into them.

I also like the fluff change with the Necrons having some more personality added to them. I couldn't play them in DoW as they were just obeying your commands, and had none of the character that the other factions offered. Even the designers recognised that and had to create a newb Pariah to do some talking for the player to enjoy.

Just buy them online. Forget paying a gazillion dollars for them.

I really like the DoW Necron Lord (before bling). Im tempted to try make one out of an Immortal body with Lych Guard arms. Not sure about the cloak though.

You don't think wayland etc leaked something they weren't supposed to to try and spite GW for the new regulations? Unpossible!
anyone notice in the back of the video the C'tan were there? still part of the codex?

never mind just found the thing about shards, oh well
This has to be the first model release that hasn't got me pumped at all. Color me surprised, but I think these models are awful or dumb or both.
